But keep searching for any thing to blame Obama for, Maybe your going to blame him for the drought in Texas or the floods in the east.

[quote name="bmtball" post="1036598" timestamp="1313611988"] [quote author=rounder17 link=topic=86220.msg1036521#msg1036521 date=1313602196] Why is everyone giving this guy a hard time? He is putting kids in front of scouts, not an easy thing to do. [/quote] Agree 100%.  Why are people so quick to shoot holes in a guy trying to help out local kids?  Might the costs paid help defray the costs of bringing all these scouts in?  In case you haven't heard, the State of Texas, along with many other states, are cutting the budgets of most universities.  Which directly impacts athletic budgets.  So to get a gathering of all these scouts, maybe he has to offer to pay some of their expenses?  The "what's in it for him" is that by gathering all these scouts, maybe he can get a full combine, so he can scout players for his college. Funny how so many people are quick to take credit for a kids success on this board.  But criticize those who legitimately give a kid opportunities.  DaBears-if people listened to you, no one would get recruited.  Just send out e-mails and wait for them to come to your high school game? (perhaps a high school coach?)  Insane.  To get recruited today, not only do you have to have talent, you have to be seen.  Being seen today, means being in the right place at the right time.  Unless you have a kid on your high school team throwing low 90's or an athlete who is a legit 5 tool player, or be playing against one of these types of players, you won't get seen just by playing high school ball.  Of the 2011 class who signed on to play college ball, very few did it by just playing high school ball.  They were seen with their select team playing in a summer tournament, they were seen at a college prospect camp, they were seen at one of these combines, they were seen at one of the Monday night games that Fackler runs, and they were seen at a Perfect Game, or simlar camp.  In order to be seen, you need to attend these combines, you need to go to as many college prospect camps as possible, you need to get on a summer team that travels to college venues, or close to college venues.  All of which, cost money.  As a parent, you have to determine if the benefit out weighs the cost. There isn't one magic bullet to being seen, then ultimately getting a scholarship.  It is a long and arduous process that involves a little luck and a lot of hard work.  Coach Harrington is simply giving kids another option to "being seen".  Is that so bad?

[quote name="baddog" post="1018514" timestamp="1308085416"] Just a little trivia.....I once heard the question asked on ESPN I believe..... "[b]What was the greatest feat ever accomplished in sports[/b]?" I thought for sure it had to be DiMaggio's 56 game hitting streak, but it wasn't. It's Johnny Unitas throwing a TD pass in 47 straight games. Go Pence! [/quote] This would be a great thread... Two to consider are 5714 strikeouts and 7 no hitters - Nolan Ryan And never won a Cy Young! ??? Go Pence!
