State Duals Pick'em Contest

[texas23]

Here??™s an idea??¦ If you live in one school district, that??™s where you go to school, that??™s where you play sports. If you wish for your child to go to another school you move or send them to private school.

 

Remember we are talking about youth sports??¦ Recruiting twelve year old children is ridiculous. Quit trying to relive your childhood regrets, think about the REAL welfare of your child.

 

Sure it??™s desirable to attend a school with successful athletic programs, but schools do not exist for the sake of athletics. I would be curious to know how many of you enthusiastic fathers scout the academic record of the school your son to wrestles for.

 

And we wonder why the future of our country looks grim??¦ Parents farming their children out to the highest bidder, how pathetic. No matter how successful an athlete your son becomes, an athletic career ending injury without a quality education lands them a job with McPukes.

 

Who ultimately cares in what division your sons wins a state championship??¦Other than a selfish, washed-up, has been.

 

 

 

I did not realize that if you were injured in a sporting activity that your only chance in life would be taken away and you must then go to an hourly job at McPuke's. Which school is providing a quality wrestling program but has no ability to also provide an education as well?

 

LOL.........

Tex, I may be reading too much into Sac's comments, but I think he means if our sons bypass an education for professional wrestling, then get injured, they would only be qualified to work in the fast food industry.

[mhhjnh]

SAC, Last time I checked being a good athlete and being a student are not mutually exclusive. Actually most of the time they go hand and hand. It's just the idiots like Adam "PacBOY" Jones that screws the image up for the rest.

 

I'm relatively certain that most of this "recruiting" talk on this particular message is just a joke. However, for those who are recruited in reality to the private schools are probably getting a top notch education. Just look where most of those kids wind up going to college.

 

So save your jealousy of not being recruited or your son not being recruited for another group of people.

 

By the way, just in case you think I'm baised. I went to the public school I was zoned for.

You might be entertained by my picks I'm working on as well, following some soul searching and a visit to The Ave Maria Grotto down in Cullman. To be posted later.

 

Is the Green Machine invading Clarksville tomorrow night? I understand that the barbrians of the Red Mist will be engulfing the Franklin Road area motels tomorrow for their anticipated Sacking of Rome on Saturday.

 

Are you still going to try to Double Dip?

In all actuality, my point was that regardless of where these young men go to school, the legitimacy of their state championship is valid. Why tout which division title means more. Acknowledge the hard work and dedication that these athletes, and their parents, have put into earning these titles.

 

And yes, it is idiots like "pacman" Jones, Michael Vick and Alan Iverson that our youth see in the limelight. Its products of selfish parents like DeAngelo Williams who ultimately suffer; my son's not going into the draft unless...

 

The other point was that as parents it is imperative for us to ensure our children are getting a quality education and not just receiving grades because they are athletes. Believe it or not, there are actually parents more concerned with their children attending physical conditioning sessions than they are about them doing their homework.

 

As a coach, I am for athletes being the best they can be. Being the best they can be meaning not only the best athlete, but also the best individual and best student. Unfortunately today's generation doesn't have that outlook. And that's where we as parents need to direct our efforts.

 

Additionally, I am all for having fun, team spirit and good wholesome competition, but not at the expense of a juvenile... Kids these days are up against enough without having parents using them as their form of entertainment.

 

Please spare yourself the efforts of trying to provoke me into your childish "your not worthy games". My athletic efforts earned me plenty, and my son's will be seen for years to come. It's unfortunate that your education only provided you the mere ability to read words and not how to place them into context.
