    the diversity of the names used is what really impressed me

     

    i was thinking about something and i need you all to tell me if i’m dumb, a genius, or both before i go pitch this to jeff bezos or mark cuban. 

    if we consolidated the usmnt starting 11 onto a single epl team, how long, if at all, would it take for the team to be a contender? then, would a prolonged period of playing together like this be enough to propel us to the top class of international teams? 

    It depends on who the other starting 9 players are. 😀 Maybe, we can stretch and start 5 USMNT players and contend.  But, we would give the Championship hell!

    That is rather slow and unexplosive for a WR.  I hope he is a good route runner?

    I watched his tape, and he’s crazy fucking fast, even considering he’s not playing murderers row every week at Daingerfield. In his receiver highlights, he’s usually 5-10 yards behind everyone, and often has to wait for his QB to get the ball to him.

    And how does a sophomore have enough highlights to merit an 8:00 Hudl? Because he’s a baller.

    He is listed as 5’ 10 but he is so much bigger than the other teams.  That is some low level of HS football he is dominating.

    He was pretty bad today.  Even things like throwing guys into tacklers on the WR screens and on a short out he threw it so far behind that the receiver had to retreat 2 yards to make the catch and then his momentum carried him OOB.  If the throw was on target he could have turned it up for at least 5 more yards.

    What I didn’t see were any check down passes.  He seems to lock into a receiver and force the ball vs. taking the easy 5.  He makes me miss Sam..

  5. My two eldest sons were recruited athletes coming out of high school.  One, was recruited by Ivy League (Princeton, Dartmouth, and Penn) as well as lots of lesser schools (Lehigh, Bucknell, etc.).  The other ended up at Pomona to play soccer.  

    Recruiting Services are worthless.  They just register you on mailing lists.  Don’t pay for them.

    Men’s Soccer has very few scholarships and almost no full rides.  Most coaching staffs have very little travel budget, and no where near the time to recruit effectively.  Unless your son is on the National Team Pool or played DA, you need to recruit the school.

    Each school has a “recruit me” questionnaire on their athletic site.  It is primarily about your sons academics.  Fill this out.  Follow up with a letter of interest to the Coach explaining why this is your dream school.  It needs to be personalized to each school.  Find their camps the Coaching Staff runs and attend them. This is critical to show interest. Visit the campus on your own and meet the coaches, again shows interest.  Make a highlight video and an extended cut video of your son's performance.  The Coach will ask for this if you meet their academic standard.

    Remember, you need to recruit the school for these non-revenue sports.

    So, you’re saying that Dr. Louis Patrick Coates, DO fraudulently claims to have a UT Southwestern Medical School degree? The same Dr. Louis Patrick Coates, DO who fraudulently claims on Texags that he holds a Medical Degree from UT Southwestern Medical School? The same Dr. Louis Patrick Coates, DO who currently practices in Garland, Texas?  That Dr. Louis Patrick Coates, DO?

    I think he means Dr. Louis Patrick Coates, DO with the degree from a Caribbean for-profit college, University of Health Sciences, Antigua?  I understand why Dr. Louis Patrick Coates, DO would fraudulently claim a degree from UT Southwestern Medical School!

    I said the expectation should be top 5. I referenced the difference between that and top 10 is a difference maker or two every year. I referenced Texas having every advantage and anyone expecting less is excusing a UT staff of falling short. I also referenced reasons for exceptions

    This is an interesting point. How many teams believe they have the structural advantages that they should expect to be Top 5 every year?

    I would think USC fits the list.  Ohio State, Alabama, Georgia, and Clemson certainly would make that case. That leaves programs like LSU, FSU, Florida, Michigan, and Penn State off the list. Each of those programs can make a very similar argument as to why they should be Top 5 every year as Texas.

    Hey now guys, I enhanced just to be sure, and I would definitely hit top left blonde. 1 out of 15 ain't bad. Oh for the record 

    Top x x 7 x x x x x x x 10 x x 

    Lower x x x x  x x x x 

    What can I say, I'm thirsty.

    I don’t know, the girl with the flat top head has interesting possibilities.
