Wow. Who did you call that was able to set up a plan for you so quickly?

Very good start. Avoiding court is the key. From here, it may seem like years but if you dedicate yourself to it, and do it while you're living with your folks, it won't be long at all. If you ever need some advice hit me up. I'm happy to help if I can.

Don't sweat these guys either. It takes balls to come online and be yourself. Most of these guys here are playing by their internet persona and it takes a moment of weakness to find out who they really are.

Penz has dished most of it out, and he's not a hateful guy. He just likes to make people laugh.

I attended a fundraiser last year that raised $38K in one night for the high school football team.

yes coming online and be yourself is the hard part. Paying the money off is easy

it's all good in the hood. I am jealous at the baseball and football uni's kids get today

Although I imagine things have changed since I enlisted back in 84, the Army did offer a "college loan forgiveness program". Cost you a couple more years on the initial enlistment, but if you qualified for the right MOS's, they'd pay off your college loan over X number of years AND you got it deferred for X number of years because you were in the service.

It was win/win as far as I was concerned and I only had 7500 in college loans for my last three years of school.

It sounds like it took a few years to create this situation.

I actually don't think you have an internet persona. I think you're yourself every day in every way. I like you, so you must be a douchebag. :)

It's embrassing to spend all that money on football, but its privately funded so its not tax payer money.

My little league baseball teams would spend over $180 per player every year just on uniforms.

Every parent laid out this money....
Jersey = $80
Pants = $25
T-shirt = $10
socks = $5
Cleats = $50
Cap = $18

that isn't counting the tpx bats or mizzouno gloves. I guess that is why I played so much basketball. Basketball 5 dollars, with large pizza from dominoes (Dream team ball of course)

Yep, some of them had $300 bats. And not to mention tournament expenses and if you travel....

We would go through an average of $7K in a season for equipment and uniforms only to be used that season for 11 players. No wonder inner city baseball is dying, you can play basketball a lot cheaper.

not to make it a race thang, but that's why there aren't more torii hunters out there

It's not a race thing but a gap between the middle class and the poor. The middle class have money for those $300 bats and $180 uniforms, the poor don't. Now you don't need a $300 bat and can play in a uniform that costs $40.00 or so, and get you a bat and cleats from wal-mart but, you won't be able to compete with the better equipped teams. You will be regulated to "rec" ball and not the higher level of competitive baseball. The poor kids can play competitive basketball reasonably cheap. It's economics, not race.

Mcan, Are your parents wealthy enough you can steal from them without them noticing. And if they do notice you can always just tell them you have a meth/heroin addiction and can't help yourself.

Utopia has been an awesome place to live, eh...
