Lol, you guys are horrible. It was boderline "MAF" Mad AF.
I look at things objectively, parent goggles were abandoned long ago due to the hardships my son had to endure even as a kid playing youth football. I can honestly say this... his first game (I was stationed abroad and was told over the phone) he scored 4 TD's and all through junior high and high school 4 TD's a game was a norm. His Junior year other parents protested his playing because it kept other kids from playing so the head coach caved in and essentially benched my son. I moved my son and he immediately impacted the program by scoring more TD's than the school had scored the previous 3 seasons combined. LSU loved him, but at 5' 7" and 165 pounds didn't love that even though they considered him for special teams only because of his speed and elusiveness. University of Montana (Griz) loved him, but injuries happened and recruiting priorities changed plus he didn't have the qualifying test scores sadly until recruitment was wrapped up. The D2 where he was heavily recruited has a revolving door at the coaches offices apparently as he's now on his 3rd RB coach. The two coaches with NFL player experience have left and they wanted to run him specifically in packages designed for him at RB/Slot. He is literally in limbo with a new RB coach and 3 original coaches that 1 (WR coach) is a former player and recent grad that said 'he'll never play slot as long as my boys (former teammates) are here' and the head coach seems to be satisfied with a player that made less than 600 yds receiving and 2 TD's all season. Bottom line the coaches suck. His gf will be transferring to a bigger university 2.5 hours away because she wants to as she told me 'join a sorority'... so fuck the fact that you never thought about college till I pulled some strings and used my sons athleticism to get you in this one, or that I've paid for you to be there, given you money to spend and my son takes care of you and your needs. Loyalty is paramount. She has none apparently. She did offer to stay there till my son could transfer after he gets his GPA up, but he encouraged her to go and is putting faith in her to be a good girlfriend. I'm just thoroughly pissed and disappointed with the situation and haven't spoken to her since she told me she wanted to transfer. All I told her is 'you're not my child and have to make your own decisions and live with the ones you make, hopefully it all works out because I've come to think of you as family'... let's just say I'm disgusted at the situation and her actions/reasons for wanting to transfer. College is for getting an education, not joining social clubs. She'll end up drinking and partying and cheating probably. She likes to party and drink and my son always looks out for her when they go party, but she won't have that security blanket in place and might find out that your friends aren't your friends and when you look like her guys usually have ulterior motives when being nice. I'm done talking about this shit as it's pissing me off.
Thanks, appreciate it. As my son said 'It's depressing killing everyone in practice knowing that you're one of two D1 players on the team and you have to put up with politics'. We'll see how it goes. I just want to film his games and help him however I can at being a successful person with a powerful life. Good is good, but best is always better when it comes to living ones life and enjoying the fruits of your labor.
