I wouldn’t either.
I visited the local Chick-Fila in an affluent, well to do area with smart professionals and mainly white suburban kids and due to the senior/graduation season on the Wall were the senior photos of the employees, their names and colleges they were going to. 80% of them were going to junior/community college. 10% were going to directional commuter schools and only 10% were going on to a experience the state school college experience we all presumably had.
If these kids of privilege aren’t able to waltz in to a decent school, pledge a sorority, marry a smart privileged guy and begat the same for their next generation, then what hope do my elementary age children have? Unless maybe the poorer kids in the community are the ones working and maybe the scholars get a pass to focus on their GPA?
I know it’s stupid and selfish ... but my wife and I talk about which high school to put the kids in that gives them the best shot at top 7%.
If my kids end up at aggy Based On their come one come all philosophy I may just shoot myself.
That’s messed up. Maybe I should give up the ghost. -
Yeah, but I bet those HP and Westlake kids have some killer back up schools.
Yeah. They go to Mississippi or Arkansas or OU.
Again my opinion - UT is going to wake up one day and say “why is our alum giving down” and it’s because the parents are not happy their kids didn’t get in and the recent graduates don’t care about the things we do - namely sports.
... forgot to add “get off my lawn”

The top 10% bullshit did exponentially more harm. Who was that implemented by...
This.....
You can’t tell me a kid from some rural school in the valley or wherever in the top 7% can compare to a kid in say the top 12% of highland Park or Westlake.
My opinion. -
Before you give your dog away, see your vet about meds. We have a pretty high strung Norfolk Terrier who attacked our Cocker and my wife pretty regularly. Put the terrier on doggy prozac and it’s made a world of difference. No more fighting or aggression.

Seriously - one of the most electric atmospheres ever at Memorial in my time there. They were so hyped at that point, and we just crushed them.
Enjoy!

Good luck getting LA to give a single fuck about the colleges in town..especially during the off season. To be fair though, it seems less Austinites live and die by UT football these days, not sure it was ever a rabid college town..
This is what the top 10 rule (or 7% now) gets you.
My opinion. -

It’s just like Waylon said-“If we could all sound like we wanted to, we’d sound like George Jones.”

I might have had a crush on Madonna, and it's possible that it peaked with her appearance in this video. The Material Girl was great, but looked a little too refined for me. Nightclub-Madonna was more my speed...
Man I love Vision Quest!- 1

Excellent call. Haven't see that in a while.
I will close with Dio when he was with Sabbath
Ok so the question is - Is Dio the greatest metal singer of all time? Better than Dickinson, Ozzy, Halford?
For my money. Yes. -
I will see your Priest and raise you one Ronnie James Dio

I have about 6 years till the first so we will see what the world looks like then ...
Worse case I come from a long line of Citadel grads ... me being the outlier... so there’s always that.... better than that other option.
