No he's just doing the actuarial work on your son being offered by Duke

Big Daddy D

4/24/15 11:41am

Not me. I wouldn't apply pressure for him to go to BYU, but

A simplistic and lame answer...

teancum

4/24/15 10:07am

I completely disagree! Very simplistic comment

kC Cougar

An even more simplistic response.

So many variables. If my kid had an offer to both I would want him to

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 11:03am

If my kid picked a school based on dating pool, I'd slap him upside the head

OpusX

4/24/15 11:16am

I can only guess that you live in Utah then

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 11:59am

^^^thinks if you don't go to college in Utah you won't get married in temple

run26

4/24/15 12:19pm

Either your reading comprehension or your ability to deduce my thoughts

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 12:32pm

you're the one who suggested OpusX might not care about the salvation of his son

run26

4/24/15 12:36pm

Again, please learn reading comprehension.

We don't know much about the dating life of many LDS athletes, one prime example

bagman

Very very ironic that you would say this the day 7 byu girls were on dr phil

run26

4/24/15 7:21pm

It would have for Teo- It doesn't for everyone

kimdaddy35

4/24/15 8:59pm

the Dr. Phil girls were not bad looking, and Teo has tons of options in San

calvindyer

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder-so every young lady is beautiful

kimdaddy35

4/25/15 2:17am

When you have many more girls in your dating range with your standards you

bagman

4/25/15 2:06pm

Oh, and next time you see 7 college football players on Dr. Phil with online

bagman

4/25/15 4:13pm

ypu said if Teo was at BYU he wouldn't have had to go on-line to date

run26

4/25/15 4:43pm

You're telling me the dating prospects of BYU football players is similar to

bagman

4/26/15 1:40am

everyone at byu including football players is under pressure to find someone

run26

4/26/15 8:09am

And therefore you perpetuate the haves and have nots of power in college sports

Too long for me. I disagree or agree with you depending on what you said.
