Looks like no Ivy Leaguers chosen in the 2017 NFL draft. [www.landof10.com]
Cornell MVP Chris Fraser was rated one of the top 10 punters eligible. No punters at all were drafted. [www.draftcountdown.com] He was invited to the 49rs and Bears minicamps: [cornellsun.com] Story on Fraser keeping in touch with Cornellians in pro football to prepare himself: [cornellsun.com]
[www.bleedinggreennation.com] called Penn QB Alek Torgersen the most underrated QB prospect. To no effect. Not drafted, but invited to the Falcons try-out camp. The Daily Pennsylvanian noted, "...it's unlikely that Torgersen will slot straight into the starting lineup for the reigning NFC champions." [www.thedp.com]

Deadpan delivery gets 'em every time. The DP went up a couple notches in my estimation after reading it.

is what you say when you are being sarcastic in response to something that you believe is straight-faced and wrong. Even in that case it's a bad joke, but at least it makes sense. It doesn't make sense as a joke if you think the original line is tongue-in-cheek.

Chris Fraser is the team's MVP, is headed to an NFL training camp, and the most ink about him is who knew what, when, about the Daily Pennsylvanian's millennials writing, possibly, with a sense of irony.

Irony died when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize. The DP was exercising sarcasm with a side order of dumb luck.billhoward

Well played. You almost forget about Kissinger and the Nobel with the swirl of 2016 news out of the capital.Trotsky
Irony died when Kissinger won the Nobel Peace Prize. The DP was exercising sarcasm with a side order of dumb luck.
Doonesbury helped with perspective back then with an early 1970s cartoon:
Co-Pilot of B-52 over North Vietnam: It's so green and lush and peaceful down there. Bomb bay doors open, sir.
Pilot: 'course, it feels a lot different from the ground. Release.

I even remember the book that was from. "Bravo for Life's Little Ironies." Not to be confused with the book that had college hockey on the cover: "Just a French Major from the Bronx."billhoward

That was back when Doonesbury was funny. Read: every strip before 1976, half of them before 1980, none since.

Comedy lesson #2 is that this is basically my joke restated and at the very least should have been told by anyone but the person who just said "don't sleep on ugarte".Trotsky

Or "Don't Sleep On, Ugarte." The difference between "What's Up, Tiger Lily?" and Woody's original title, "What's Up Tiger Lily?" A time when someone at the studio knew the difference.ugarte

Has Chris Fraser surfaced since the NFL mini-camps? It looks as if no punter was drafted this year.
