Student Can’t Stop Talking About His 'Glory Days'
Concordia. Although it’s been over two years since he graduated from high school at Mink Lake High, junior Zachary Brafmowski continues to brag about his ‘glory days’ as a star football player and high ranking member of the jock clique in high school.

"All last year, he never stopped telling me how fun high school was compared to college," groaned Brafmowski’s former roommate Todd Klydyl. "Every other time he opened his mouth it was: ‘This one time in high school"’ or ‘High school, those were the days, man.’" Klydyl said he had repeatedly suggested to Brafmowski that he start focusing on college instead of living in the past. "When I said stuff like that, it went right over his head. He didn’t have a clue what I was talking about. One time, when I asked him why he continues to wear his old football jersey from high school every other day, he ignored the question and started telling me about how the Mink Lake Minks finally beat their rivals, the Wild Prairie Bobcats after he joined the team as a sophomore. I had already heard the story six times." Zachary Brafmowski, legend of Mink Lake High.

Other friends of Brafmowski are in agreement with Klydyl. "High school was cool, but you can’t make your high school glory days the centerpiece of your life," said junior Mike Mutullari. "Plus, Brafmowski’s story’s are way lame."

When interviewed, Brafmowski continually ignored our questions. He told a story about how he and some other guys from the football team had "dominated" every sport in gym class. He then recalled how the Mink Lake cheerleaders would make exciting little paper posters for the football players’ lockers the day before a game. "I saved every one," he claimed. "My favorite is the one that says ‘Go Get Em Winner!.’" After a long, guttural chuckle, he added, "Yer darn I’m a winner! HAHAHA!"
