Sooooooo, what you're trying to say is that this guy has never done anything productive with his miserable life? ;-)

That was sarcasm in case anyone missed it. The [/b]city universities need benefactors like him to help even the playing field. UH has been pretty fortunate in that regard, too.

It's obvious that bigbob has no credibility as a Tiger fan, but I'll quickly address your question since it appears to be legitimate.

Frederick Wallace "Fred" Smith is the founder, chairman, president, and CEO of FedEx

He is also a former US Marine, Vietnam veteran and was awarded a Silver Star, a Bronze Star and 2 Purple Hearts.

He is a native Memphian who, like many of us, loves his home town dearly and therefore, even though he did not attend The University of Memphis, recognizes the huge impact it has on our community and thus is a large financial supporter of the university and its associated athletic program.

For some reason I laughed hard at this particular statement. Perhaps I found it more funny than I should have.
