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

gwalker

A simplistic and lame answer...

teancum

4/24/15 10:07am

I completely disagree! Very simplistic comment

kC Cougar

4/24/15 10:21am

An even more simplistic response.

OpusX

I apologize, I mis-read your post.

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

4/24/15 7:10pm

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

4/25/15 1:47am

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

#2 is unimportant for a kid from Utah County

Big Daddy D

4/24/15 11:39am

leaving will make him more exotic and worldy and work to his favor when he comes

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