A friend of mine said that Iowa is still very much in the picture and maybe even leaning to coming here. CJ was putting the full court press on him during the week of the Army AA game.
Would be a huge get but won't believe it until he signs on the dotted line.

That would be great, but our last two 5 star o-linemen were busts (Blake Larsen and (Dan Doering). That kid looks like the second coming of Orlando Pace and would be a nice grab assuming he is willing to put in the effort necessary to become a star (too many of those top kids think they can just show up).

I also think it was Rob Howe that said SH was canceling his last official visit to Miami and using it for Iowa and doing an in home visit with KF.

Did anyone see Rice from Baltimore run that long TD behind an absoulutely destructive Marshall Yanda block? How about that TD at the end of the game that also went behind Yanda? Greene also had a great game on Saturday. It can't hurt recruiting when a lot of ex-Hawks are still playing in mid- January in the NFL.

Don't forget that Dace was a 5 star guy as well and without all of his injuries he could have been even better then he was.

How many stars did Bob Sanders and Dallas Clark have?
Ahem.
In any event, Henderson would be a monster get. Pun intended.

Seth.....all college coaches have to deal with helicopter parents in today's world of college athletics. Pretty soon employers will be bringing 22 year old kids in on job interviews with Mommy/Daddy side-by-side with their baby. It's a fucked up world.

I sell insurance and the number of parents that call me to ask about getting health insurance for their children is crazy. And I'm not talking kids just out of college I am talking people in their late 20's and 30's that have their fucking mom call me to get quotes. Last week I just had a lady call me about her son in his mid 20's so I tried to set up a time for them to come in so I could go over his options. She said he worked at a restaurant so it needed to be sometime in the morning or early afternoon. I said how about 10AM on Tuesday and she said that he doesn't get up before 11AM so we would have to set up a different time. UNFUCKINGBELIEVEABLE!

What a fucking joke. Fuck, I have often worked until past 3 or 4 and still made it in before 9 the next day. Pussies.

I read somewhere recently that alot of major companies who are going to colleges to recruit graduates at job fairs are now giving the students "parent packages" to send to their folks to garner support from their parents to take a job.
If you aren't independent and haven't cut off the ambilical cord by the time you graduate college, how valuable of a worker could you really be?

My guess is that these companies are the kinds of companies where parents don't want their kids working. Places like Enterprise Rent A Car for the management trainee program where you'll learn how to vacuum cars and drive them to and from the airport at 10 at night while earning a cool 29k a year.

Hopefully this is just a generational thing and the next generation of parents (i.e. Socal, BTR, Gumby, etc.) will kick their kids in the ass when it comes to taking care of business. It's amazing how many parents do everything for their kids. Don't they realize that their kid is going to be so fucking helpless when the cord finally does get cut? I suppose some of these parents will be wiping their kid's ass when they are in the nursing home.

Sadly, I did this for Hertz for about 8 months before pulling my head out of my ass. You had to have a 4 year degree, work 50 hours a week, wash cars in a tie and button up shirt in the blistering heat and freezing cold for a crappy wage of 9:50 an hour (which they sell as $30,000 for entry level). I don't actually think these companies would want the parents of prospective employees to know their kids might work at one of these crap jobs. Leaving there was one of the best choices I ever made, my co-workers took up to an extra year and a half longer than me to realize they were working a shit job for shitty wages. DON"T EVER DO IT and DON"T EVER LET ANYONE YOU CARE ABOUT TAKE ONE OF THESE JOBS!!!! If you stay long enough though and get a coveted management job you can make a whopping $40k per year and drive a rental car home every night. Fuck that.

I will say this though, I don't have health insurance. But, I wouldn't have my mom call for me.

When the wife has twins in the next couple of weeks I am going to make them change their own fucking diapers!

Helicopter parents will speak out against the practice but they are in denial that they are in fact to blame for the same behavior. I have a 9 month old son and I would do anything for the kid; however, he will be on his own when it comes to earning playing time in sports, finding a job, applying for schools, etc. These are important things that he will need to learn on his own. When I was a kid, there were always a couple of parents who would hang out the entire baseball, basketball practice. Of course, there kids would see a majority of playing time even though they were not the best. That always pissed me off. I guarantee that when my kid is in organized sports, I'm going to pick a fight with those types of parents.

Trust me on this one, bro...YOU want to be the one in charge of what happens to the shit and piss within your own house. My precious little specimen just recently figured out that it's just fucking hilarious to her if she reaches down and grabs a handful as I'm trying to change her diaper. I cannot stress this enough, my friend: Once you lose control of the shit, you are in a world of hurt. I'm dreading potty training.

I suppose some of these parents will be wiping their kid's ass when they are in the nursing home. Well, the daughter is only 18 months, so I haven't had to kick her ass or anything yet. But, not to worry... she will get plenty of discipline when it is called for. My niece and nephew are examples of what too little discipline will do. My sister, while I love her to death, knows nothing about disciplining kids and it shows. Me? I got my fair share of ass whuppins when I was a little shit. Best thing that ever happened to me really. And I feel that because of the ass whuppins I got, I'll know how and when to deliver them. It's the kids that never got disciplined that don't know HOW when they become parents themselves.

I hear ya man. I got spanked with a belt, until I was about 13 or so, whenever I fucked up. My father stopped the practice after that, and you could definitely tell when it came to my younger brother and sister. They had no fear of my parents really. I think you have to have at least a little dose of fear to command the respect of your children. At least while they are young. Interesting subject for me, as I'm about to have a little boy. I still have no idea how I'm gonna discipline him. I don't think I could spank him with a belt (seems a tad extreme). But at the same time, I'm not gonna be one of those pussy parents who put their kids on "timeout" and have absolutely no control over them. There is definitely a fine line to this I would think. Hopefully I figure out the right balance of fear and reasoning.

Good to hear....I was a bit worried that your hippiness "one love" attitude was going to turn you into an overran parent. My dad was never violent towards me, however commanded respect. I'm not sure what kind of Jedi mind shit he pulled, but it worked. He didn't raise his voice much either...but was kind of scary when he did. What was this thread about again? Oh ya, Seantral. I would hope USC is out of the picture now. Also, he isn't qualified yet.
