Both relative items, how can you say what someone else's time and money are worth? I could argue that select isn't worth the time and money.

You can definitely make the argument that select soccer is not worth the time and money. In fact, such an argument would be far more "right" than "wrong". The stats are readily available on this and have been reproduced on this board ad nauseum. As such, Gunners makes a valid point that ODP is not worth the time or money. Sure, you can get into all of that intrinsic value b.s. as though it will mean so much to a kid who's only average at soccer to get out there and get turned down like most will. If that's really the measuring stick, than take the family out to a dinner and movie. It accomplishes much more than joining the other 199 '01 girls for a pretty lame workout.

Fools and their money...

"lame work outs" - might as well cancel all rec/YMCA/Driven/////...sports, etc. Tough to judge who will benefit what and in which way... being the best you can be, or even better than you ever thought you could builds the base to our childrens belief in themselves....sounds a bit rightous, but what the heck - it actually how I feel king

Ask the DD. Mine caught the ODP bug from her teammates who joined last year. They seem to enjoy it and that's enough for us. If she didn't bring it up not sure I'd care enough to push it.

Makes perfect sense, there is a buzz with my DD and a core group of players on her team. We are all signing up the girls - car pooling and just focusing on letting them have fun. afro

This can probably be done. I can fit a flat screen, directv receiver and some HD tailgate football in the back of my bus. Advantages of having an excursion. I have put it together before and I know I have a stash of some older 42in flat screens. Time is the only challenge, but I got 10 days. I'll get my guys at my shop to work on that and with any luck we could be in business. I'll send an official word when it is done, but tentatively plan on bringing a chair Smile

Count me in for the 2nd and 3rd weeks, the first one I will be hunting up north - chilllaxxxing with my 20gauge and some nice dogs.....

by Blank77 14/09/12, 07:25 am

Where do you get the dogs to hunt up North? Do you do it like Ice-T style in "Surviving the Game?" Picking up homeless or pound dogs to hunt, although it sure doesn't sound like too much fun and do you eat them?

Not on this one, going with the BIG DOGs who are already taking care of the dogs for this hunt....check this one out it is really nice. http://www.firesteelcreeklodge.com/theranch.html Hunts like these are a blast when someone else does all the work and you kick back and well .... for the rest you need to be there.
