Damn right. Only person that buys a 3/4T with an 8ft bed is someone who actually needs it. That there are people bitching about it being so big. The owner fucking knows it's big. He knew going into the purchase that they're a PITA to drive and park, and he got one anyway. 20:1 that uncovered truck bed has a few scattered range cubes, a 5th wheel hitch, bailing wire, and an old pair of leather work gloves in the back.

3/4 ton with an 8ft bed. Impossible to park in a "normal" sized spot. Assuming he's far enough away to not impede parking for most, it makes sense.

Buddy dealing with the chevy/GMC blues. His first 2500 Denali was stolen out of a parking lot in a matter of minutes. Their scanner impersonated the key fob, opened and gone. Under two minutes per the security film. Insurance money parlayed into an Expedition, but he needs a truck to pull their 5th wheel Now he has another 2500HD. In the last week the auto-start/stop has crapped the bed three times. He's been stranded both at work and at home because the stupid thing won't fire up. I don't know what the hell GM is doing these days, but jesus they're having a bad few years.

Almost happed to us on 635 in the metroplex. Some asshole trying to speed past. We’re in the far right lane next to the concrete wall. Guy clips the back of a car at our 11 o’clock, sends it careening head first into the wall. Cars totaled. We lock up. Parts of the car hit ours. Cops got the fucker a few exits down.

Good. Make it binding. You can leave. But the money stays if you bounce prematurely

Tech wins going away. Them Finds a way to play aggy. Beats them so bad that dia-belko strokes out on the sideline, falling on that stupid one-eyed dog, chaos ensues, and I giggle myself into an alcohol induced blackout.

Caveat - "we" meaning a club team my kid used to play for. They had a girl commit there. Not someone in the family.....;)

Take the money. Undergrad these days is less and less important sans a very specific degree path. There's always grad school where he'll have many more opportunities. And I get it. We had a class of '25 girl at UIW. It's a pretty campus, but a preferred walk-on is a BIG leap of faith. It's like dating. Quit trying to bang the prom queen. Find someone like yourself that likes and respects who you are for you. Our future coach was so genuinely excited to have our girl on his program and the girls all love him. I need someone I can trust to look after her when I'm not there. Go where you feel the most wanted. Of course there's always the portal as well. Put together some good tape, prove you are more that just a contributor, but an undeniable difference maker and the heavens will open up to him in terms of other school options.

That's exactly what we did. Try not to reveal too much, but it's a small, academically robust school. Same thing. Big fish in a smaller pond. She doesn't have delusions of playing pro, but still loves the game and has used to it to get into a school that otherwise would be very difficult to get in to. Another thing at the larger school girls/athletes in general don't always consider is your major. Labs and games don't mix. Pre med? Veterinary medicine? Engineering, etc? yeah. No...... That was our first question. She wants to go pre-med. Don't tell us what we want to hear. Give us the names of a few players on the team that are pre-med and can we meet them and get their candid feedback on the balance. On the overnight coach put her with a few, and after shopping, tours, etc the girls were like..."we have to study". Ironically, that was what sealed the deal.

I can tell you, it's wild out there right now for soccer girls. It's not injuries we have to worry about, it's turnover. For example, just our club team noticeable commits who are now stressing: Girl committed to Ol Miss. Coach fired a few weeks back. New coach will come in, about half the current commits will get the boot (pun intended) Two committed to UNT. He just announced he's retiring after next year La Tech - their coach just got fired A&M - also retiring next season We had an offer in hand from Wofford in SC. Just didn't "feel" right. He's a new coach. Last I checked there are 9 girls on the current team in the portal. Dodged a bullet there possibly. Obviously Texas soccer coach after 14 seasons got shitcanned. Then you have overcommitting. Girls are "encouraged" to enroll early. That's also when coaches can cut their rosters back. Tech did this last year. AR does it ever year. These are tryouts. Not commitments. Girls graduate early, over the moon excited. Show up. Weeks later told to find another school.

Soccer. The ACL destroyer sport. Honestly, glad she's better. The rehab now is amazing. Less than a year and they're back at it. For soccer, it's the "boots" and turf fields. Piece of advice for all you soccer parents. When you buy your kids new boots, check the spikes. Speed vs. comfort - no, it's a torn ACL or a healthy season. Those "blades" on the left don't give in grass or turf. They bite in and the momentum of the body is wrecking players.
