  1. That V sticker on the helmet stands for Vagina though.
  2. Any drink spilled out of his mouth goes in his shirt.
  3. Maybe we can do it like a where we started and where we are at now, showing Arch's improvement from early season til now. Just spitballing.
  4. I came by some all 22 film of the offense. I have Ohio State. I have Miss St. I have Georgia. The dry season is coming and I thought many of you are like me and like to see what the fuck was really going on in those games. If there is enough interest maybe I will post it. We all know what the Ohio State will show because where the cameras are in their stadium is pretty much all 22. But I was pretty interested in the Miss St 1st half and what Georgia was doing.
  5. My kid is headed to a Jesuit school. Trust me, I know.
  6. Speaking of Longhorn daughter volleyball players. Right now Kennedi Roger's, Shaun Roger's daughter, is on TV playing as a freshman for 25-5 SMU. Her and my kid used to go at it at club practice. It was fun to watch! Shaun is just as intense as a spectator as he was as a player. Lol.
  7. Yeah man, some of the best schools in the country academically are small. A lot of kids that you will never see play volleyball on espn are absolutely doing it right. We know a kid that went to Loyola Chicago. 6% acceptance rate. A school you would never get into unless you are on the volleyball team. We are in a small suburb in Texas. High median income level, but two elementary schools, one middle school, and one high school. So my daughter never wanted to go to a big school. Both me and the wife are products of big schools, so we explained to her the downfalls of it. You will hardly ever see your professor as they are too busy off somewhere trying to get published. Get used to TA's. Classes will be enormous. 1 on 1 time with your professor is damn near impossible. All that. She entertained Wake because even though they play P4 sports, their enrollment is under 10k. My kid knows she is a shiny object kid and wants a more intimate setting to stay focused. We also don't want to see her bringing home any dumbasses. So aggy was absolutely out of the question. She agreed and said aggy would be like a high school reunion.
  8. Yeah I know, my post was just saying most people don't really see the dude as Hispanic.
  9. Oh really? I didn't know that Helobious. So you are saying that just like the US has multiple ethnicities, Spanish speaking countries do too? That's a weird concept. Who knew?
  10. Fernando Mendoza might as well be named Conner Jacobson the way that guy looks.
  11. Tell him to take the money and keep his ear to the tracks. Put down some good tape and wait for interest at better programs.
  12. Yeah, that dude is way too productive to shelf. Even if a quality back in the portal is demanding a certain amount of carries.
  13. I always wondered how that year hurt incoming recruitable athletes. We were just outside kids getting Covid years and dodged a bullet.
  14. Yeah, I heard soccer was pretty bad. The whole recruiting process is a shitshow in general. These poor kids are on such an emotional rollercoaster. June 15th and kids are on pins and needles hoping to get calls. Then you get calls and these schools don't have the balls to tell you they took another kid higher on the list than you. My daughter was being recruited by Wake Forest. They were looking for an outside hitter. They had been watching her for two years. They showed up at triple crown, and their coach was even videoing her in the huddle. So they were pretty serious. They ended up taking 25 recruit Bailey Warren(DT for the Patriots and aggy Ty Warren's daughter), a kid who plays for a rival of my daughter's high school. They didn't have the decency to even let my kid know they went in a different direction. Bailey is a phenomenal athlete, far better than my kid, but to ghost us? So then Bailey flips to Baylor . I laughed. They got what they deserved. That's what these schools do to kids. No texts back No emails back. No calls back once they decide. Several schools were after my kid and we coached her to let them know she was looking elsewhere if she didn't like them. We also told her she isn't Cardale Jones, we definitely came to play school. So go to the best school you can, fuck a volleyball ranking. She is a good little player, a little undersized, but a good leaper, and an extremely powerful hitter. She is strong. At 14 she put up 150 on the weight bench and 220 on the squat rack. Had to tell the strength coach to cut that shit out! There are a ton of great schools in the NE that aren't going to wow you in volleyball but are academically strong. She chose that route. So now she is a big fish in a little pond, and that's okay. It's already served her well, because not only are they not going to be trying to recruit over you as soon as you hit campus, but they didn't even drop you after you tore your ACL just prior to national signing day.
