Not sure why your so negative but with opinions like that I'm sure you've been wrong alot more than right. Lol don't recall reading anything bad about other kids on these forums getting to play at the collegiate level on a scholarship?

 

Negative? Doesn't it say she is very good? Its an opinion that she is really good but unsure if she is Texas good...is that negative? I have seen many of your posts on other message boards and I understand your head is as big as Texas about your daughter and it should be she is one heck of a pitcher and going to go to a dream school for most kids. But take it easy if we don't all fall in line and think she is the best ever.

 

I hope she goes down there and kicks butt for four years. Best of luck to her.

I can't stop laughing.......

Show me a post, any post, that gives the impression about me thinking she is the best ever? I eat a steady helping of humble pie every day. She asked me when she was 9, after watching Cat for the first time, if I thought she could be good enough to pitch for UT. Yes, I said, but you gotta work hard. It WAS and IS a dream come true.......so in short, hell yes I'm proud, but to imply that I'm an arrogant a$$hole........whatever? I got no beef with you or anyone else that doesn't feel like I do, but don't get on these forums and throw kids under the bus with opinions that should be kept to oneself. The amount of scholarship money that my DD or anyone elses kid got is no ones business and to imply that you don't think kids "deserve" a certain $$ amount is ridiculous.

 

Good luck to your daughter at JM, I hope she kicks but for four years as well!!

You got called out on Yappi and deleted some of your post for your "humble pie" also have a couple on the ofc. Again thats fine just don't get your feeling hurt when someone doesn't agree. This is a message board, it is my feeling you can state what you feel about a player as long as you keep it respectable. Again I said she is very good and for that matter might be great, going back I guess I wish I wouldn't have used the word "shocked" if she played there. Again she is very good, I guess we will see how she does when she gets to UT.

 

I have no clue what kind of money your kid got and would never ask you or anyone that I was not close with what they got. I agree it is none of my business. I was asked the question and I clearly stated I have no clue but gave a guess. I can tell you one thing my kids school had money avaible late and when your kid decommited from Murray I was the first to call him and tell him about her and told him to offer her 100% So clearly I think she is real good. Clearly you had a much better offer to a dream school. I am sure it will work out.

Called out on yappi......nice try? Feelings hurt? Not at all. I'll be waiting for the ofc post, there's only 15 or so, should be easy to find. Maybe it was in this forum......Best in each class for ohio......nothing about best ever. Lol

 

You think I was called out and I get my feelings hurt(??)and I think some of your posts were disrespectful......fair enough. I'll just agree to disagree

 

By the way..I did hear about radford being interested. I do appreciate you mentioning my DD to the coach there! We were advised to hold out till summer ball was done, so we did and what happen was the last thing my wife and I ever expected, especially so late in the recruiting process!!!

Congrats to this girl and her family! Awesome and big, big time!

This board might not be for all parents. People will express opinions about a player (note: Not the kid themselves). If you have think skin about your child go somewhere else.

 

And saying you wonder if a player is "Texas good" is hardly a shot. Heck, it's a honor to even be considered by them much less have them ask you to come play.

:notworthy: Tell me more about me, since you clearly know so much.......:popcorn:

Never claimed to know you. I said, and you now seem to have proven, that not all parents can handle non-personal critiques of their child.

Not that I want to seem like I'm piling on Texasdad, but I agree 100%. No one on this site has it in for these kids, they are only expressing their opinion. It simply amazes me how some will take things the wrong way and blow them out of proportion.

 

If someone came on her and said my daughter "stunk" I would be the last person to get my "panties in a bunch" over someones opinion.

 

Your daughter is obviously a very talented player to be offered the opportunity to play for such a top quality program, and as many have said, that is an honor in itself. I wish her nothing but the best and hopefully we are all able to see her play on ESPN this year and in the coming years.

I actually embrace it, but more on a personal level, as we have off and on for the last 10 years. My dd has endured all types, good and bad and for all those things said i believe its made her a better person, teammate and pitcher.

 

The power of criticism (lord knows it won't stop in college....lol) from the right people can make avg athletes good, good athletes great and great athletes into stars.

In my heart I think my DD can be a star, as I'm sure all parents do of their own kids. So in the end I say criticize away, I think most of what's said on these forums is too nice and to "pc" anyway....and your right some parents can't handle it. Alittle more honesty about a kids ability may help some and hurt others, but thats life in the real world.

I don't know anything about NKY softball players, just tickled that there was a whole forum about some kid in Cincy goin to Texas. I mean no harm or attacks on anyone's opinion.

It's all good........I come in peace, honestly!

Is this the same girl who, this past high school season, had (I think) 30 K's in 16 innning game?

 

Yes. Against Lakota west. We lost 1-0

That sucks, no two bits about it!

Read some of my stuff, I say the hell with "politically correct".

 

Parents are always happy when they are reading all the praise their kids get on here, but lord have mercy, if your opinion is the opposite or you say they had a "bad game", all hell breaks loose. It's just an opinion!!!!
