[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I am confused: Are we supposed to hate these parents and their kids when they get into a good college or are we supposed to hate them when they get into a "shitty" college?

I am just trying to learn from other posters when to hate other families since it does not come to me naturally.  This thread has me confused about that.  Thanks in advance![/quote]

1. If a parents mentions that a coach from an Ivy or top university is recruiting a child you are supposed to seethe with jealousy and obsess about the unfairness of it all.

2. If it does not work out and they do not get a D1 offer form a top university ... you are supposed to thank the gods and reveal in their failure.

3. If they go to a D1 university that is "shit" like University of Alabama, you are supposed to assume the child it an idiot and that his life will be a failure because it is a terrible university... unless he is playing football them you might need to slit your wrists. But you will hope they get CTE and die an early death.

4. If they go D3 to Tufts or Babson, you will have a small pain in the side... you will hope they can't major in a "real" degree like engineering and pray at night that they don't get a better job than your child. But it's Tuft/Babson, you know your prayers won't be answered, you cry yourself to sleep.

5. If they go D3 to Dickerson or Washington and Lee, you are conflicted, it's not terrible it's not elite but you wish bad this for the child, you lay awake at night not sure if it is a "shitty" university or not.... you lose lots of sleep.

6. If hey go D3 to Salisbury or Christopher Newport you post on DCUM about how their family wasted their whole lives paying for sports and now they go to a truly shitty university with no hope of having a fulfilling life... you are happy...  you sleep well at night, until you wake up to the responses to your shitty DCUM post... you don't feel validated, you take Nyquil to sleep.
