  1. 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.
  2. 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.
  3. 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.
  4. I’m gonna punch you in the ovaries.
  5. Now you’ve done it
  6. Seth Littrell is making about 1.3 mil, wonder if he could be money whipped to go back to an OC role.
  7. They also lost to a shitty South Carolina team at home. That loss should disqualify them unless they won the championship.
  8. Buenos Diaz Bitches?
  9. Uh, wrong, Garret started it by tackling a guy without the ball and taking him to the ground.
  10. Let me preface this by saying I love BJ Foster. Foster needs to sit until his shoulder is better. Having a shoulder injury when your best attribute is thumping the shit out of people renders his effectiveness as minimal. We would be better off starting a 4th stringer than relying on a guy who physically can’t get it done right now.
  11. We need crossing routes, it’s the weakness of this defense and we keep throwing to the sidelines.
  12. Still can’t believe the no call on the pass to Eagles what in the ever living fuck?
  13. Take my word for it these Ags are ALL IN. Its not about this year people its about 2020 and 2021!
  14. In, balls deep!
  15. I’m 48, just dropped off my oldest at college a few weeks ago. My wife was having borderline panic attack’s about it for months. I didn’t think it would be a big deal until I walked out of her dorm leaving her sitting on her bed. I kept seeing her as a 3 year old sitting on her bed at home. I cried like a baby all the way home.
  16. Breaks over boys. Don’t just lay there gettin a suntan, won’t do you no good anyhow.
  17. We did these parks last year, it’s hard to describe the beauty of Bryce. Enjoy.
  18. That’s great to hear. It’s always nice to get positive feedback from other parents.
  19. Trinity is definitely not cheap, it’s one of the more expensive private universities in Texas. Southwestern was another consideration, they were right at 57k COA.
  20. Trinity’s merit based scholarships are good but overall COA is 59k, so even with a 25k scholarship it will cost you 34k a year. I’m impressed by the quality of faculty and faculty to student ratio. My daughter isn’t super outgoing either so I believe a smaller setting will be better for her.
  21. Daughter is starting Trinity next month. Great school, she’s pumped.
  22. I’m still unable to join because my credit card isn’t accepted, same problem I had months ago. If there was a fix for this that I missed let me know.
  23. Ken Hackemack was a scary mofo. 6’8” 300lb Goliath. Also one of the great names in Texas football history.
