  1. Watching your son score a touchdown, knock the shit out of a baseball for a home run or extra base hit, or listen to him talk to you about what he believes in and realize he’s grown into an awesome young man who understands what is important in life.
  2. Cold beer in hand sitting on the deck of a floating cabin in the land cut fishing with your best friends.
  3. Wife and I took our daughter to a birthday party at one of her friend’s house last summer. When we walked in the mother of the girl laughed that she had forgotten to get helium for the balloons so she got scotch tape and stuck them to the ceiling. My wife looked at me and said, “that’s neat, it’s reverse psychology!” Yes babe, yes it is.
  4. If 5 Stones Brewery doesn’t survive, I might murder someone.
  5. Some dickhead hacked my account and changed the email on it. I’ve had Netflix on speaker phone for hours while i was doing other things, no one answered. They don’t have an email address, I’m beyond frustrated.
  6. Hockey on the football board? Meh, I guess it’s as on topic as most discussions here.
  7. Wow! 28-6A Steele, Judson, Smithson Valley, Clemens, now adding Wagner who was a state finalist last year.
  8. This was one kid that really needed to use this time to get quicker, unfortunate.
  9. I think you’re wrong here, just my opinion.
  10. Self awareness has never been an aggy strong suit.
  11. Thank you, this is very helpful.
  12. Unless I’m misunderstanding the graph, 36% isn’t matching what it says. Either way, acceptance for students at Trinity with at least a 3.6 is 90%. GPA is calculated differently at Trinity however.
  13. Thanks, We are planning to do one this Spring, I'm hoping we will be able to get all our questions answered. Choosing the right school will affect the rest of his life and his choices for anything post grad. I’m of the mind that his path might be less complicated at a private school but I certainly want to be open minded about it.
  14. I’ve been wanting to post here for a while. My son is currently ranked number one as a junior at a 6A high school. Right now his heart is at the I’m iversity of Texas, but I’m trying to make sure we steer him to a school that is right for him. I graduated from UTSA back when it was a commuter school so I don’t have any knowledge about navigating a large university. My daughter is currently a freshman at Trinity University. She took some pretty challenging classes her first semester such as calculus and chemistry but was able to make all A’s. I believe the small class size and built-in advantages at a private university helped her achieve this. She has a peer tutor assigned to her and a personal relationship with her professors who also set up study sessions. If she has trouble writing a paper, there is a writing center that will help her and proof read it. I really don’t know what types of programs the University of Texas has to try to help students when they struggle in a class. Both of my kids want to go to medical school, therefore keeping a higher GPA is very important. I’m trying to decide whether I would be doing him a disservice by sending him to such a large school. I am worried about him struggling in some of the auditorium size classes and not being able to find enough resources to help him make the grades he needs to make. Am I overthinking this, is his path to success just as reasonable at the University of Texas as it would be at a school like Trinity? Any advice would be appreciated.
  15. From the little I’ve read on Valai, Georgia used him as a quality control guy and sent him on the road recruiting, had a stint with KC Chiefs as quality control assistant, he might be better than we’re giving him credit for.
  16. I’m gonna punch you in the ovaries.
  17. Now you’ve done it
  18. Seth Littrell is making about 1.3 mil, wonder if he could be money whipped to go back to an OC role.
  19. They also lost to a shitty South Carolina team at home. That loss should disqualify them unless they won the championship.
  20. Buenos Diaz Bitches?
  21. Uh, wrong, Garret started it by tackling a guy without the ball and taking him to the ground.
