I tried to vote, got message that submitted form is invalid. Closed browser and tried again, same message. Is this one of those Chicago style ballot boxes where you can only vote for Ba-roke Obummer? :twisted: :lol:

Yep, they are just warming up. To the post, one (DD1) is majoring in education - which is awesome, since she has some experience at that doing substitute teaching, will probably be next most proud day when I go embarrass her on her first day of teaching - lugging along my picture taking all those "first day" pictures. The other ((DD2) is undecided - they put her down as kineseology (which is greek for P.E.) as we all know - the course load they set up for her pushes her towards biology - engineering - math. I think they would both make great teachers and coaches but I am just dad and my opinion is sxxx.

DD was told outright by a couple local D-1 colleges right away that they "discourage" medical/science majors so, she looked elsewhere across the country and chose UNC where with hard work and Summer classes she can major in Pharmacy with the goal of PharmD.. She is a 2014, so has some time before she goes, but that is what she intends to study..for now, lol..

Thats a pretty good major from the standpoint of job security and salary.

Bottom line if labs and clinics interfere with practice and games a choice will have to be made. A coach can only be so flexible when it comes to skipping practice or travel for games for class work that is required of some majors.


Depends on the school. You should know of some of the kids on this roster:

You have a 2013 pitcher who played for you who has committed to UC Davis who will almost certainly graduate from there with a pre-med /science degree.
