It's official:

[Reality Check]

That's fine. Any coach who's afraid of a 6' 5" 295 pound man who can run a sub 5.0 in the 40, bench press 325 pounds, dunk a basketball, do a full split, and completely dominate a whole side of a line of scrimmage on either side of the ball. That means offense & defense, all the while making a 3 plus GPA while taking advanced math, physics, EnglishIV, & chemistry II doesn't deserve him. I appreciate your contribution. Why don't you share your recruiting experiences with us? Tell us who your son is, and how successful you were at getting him that major college scholarship? I'd appreciate some specifics & how it worked out for you.

As to your question about recruiting experiences, I never said that I had son who was recruited for football. My daughter was recruited for softball and played at an SEC school. She was recruited by 4 schools from 3 different conferences. She took unofficial visits to all 4. She took one official visit and that was to the school that she signed with. Things worked out fine for her as she got her undergraduate degree. I will not lie and say that she got a full ride but between the athletic money she received and the academic money she was able to get, she ended up graduating not owing any money.

My whole point is that your son doesn't need you to be his "agent" and try to sell him to the public. If his stats are like what you report them to be, he should already be on the radar of many schools and the stands should be filled every Friday night with coaches checking him out. You seem to be letting your ego get too involved and feel the need to publicly remind everyone of your sons talents. To me, there is a difference between being a proud papa and being an obnoxious one. Take my advice for what it is worth. I am checking out of this discussion from this point forward. I wish your son nothing but the best in his pursuit of an athletic scholarship.

Sounds like a good deal to me.

All will be lost...my forehead will be bleeding...and then I will bionic elbow everybody in the Hooters.

Out of respect for Kyle's kid, I'm out on this one too. Last few comments: If the boy is good, he'll get someone's attention. Blogs on a message board is not necessary and in my
Opinion, is in poor taste. LCA started playing tackle football last Tuesday, so I'm not shocked it's a hurdle for you guys. But again, if he's legit, someone will notice. On principle Chief, just don't beat "that" dad. Advocate in the proper place, at the proper time, in the proper manner; for the kid's sake.

I hope he has a great season and if he's Hamilton caliber, I hope he ends up in Verm & White.

I'm glad for your daughter. I'm sure you're very proud of her accomplishments. Now here's my point & I really don't care if you get it or not because I aint doing this to please you. The people I am trying to reach are reading this thread & they well understand what I am saying & the spirit for which it is intended so I could really care less what the peanut gallery thinks at this point. We are already getting interest from other places. We are already getting interest from places like Monroe, New Orleans, Mobile, Jonesboro, Denton, Dallas, Waco, Birmingham, & Hattiesburg. We've already gotten full offers from every division two school you can name & several FCS schools. And any other lower tier university we'd want to go to would be very glad to have us aboard. That isn't the point. The point is that I am giving UL a unique opportunity at a very highly regarded & soon to be very sought after player which barring injury will have some of the strongest football programs in America after him by November. And it would be a shame not to be in the mix when you could have been first choice & maybe the only one. The End

You knew it was on when Dusty got cut. Who was his girl again?

I can't remember back that far...I used to watch him my Grandma on WCW Saturday Night. He was always my Grandma's favorite.

I'm thinking her name was Cora May. I used to love him & Big Cat Ernie Ladd talk smack to each other. They were definitely the best smack talkers ever until the Rock & Stone Cold showed up. Twenty-six hours now.

Just for the record, this is about the most ignorant uninformed post I've read in a while . Talk about my arrogance & stupidity? You just proved what your POV is & most likely why. So what is it about LCA that you hate so much after all? Or do you just believe in making ignorant blanket statements which reveal your true closed minded attitude. Which is further reason for me to take my swing at the fence my way. For anybody to find my attempts to get the coaching staff at the school to take an extra look at my son offensive to the sensitivities of their nature is only evidence that they are looking for a reason to axe grind that doesn't have a damn thing to do with the the subject matter.

You would be just as ignorant and closed minded to think his view is everyone's view.

WTF are you talking about? In what way did I make an "ignorant & close minded" statement? And what does LCA have anything to do with it? I merely mentioned that their program is brand new.. How the hell is that "hate"..

I knew I should have stayed out of this damn thread
