    Smile Proud as can be.....

    Well, my oldest son took the ACT for the first time a few weeks ago. Got the results in the mail today, and what do you know. He scored a 28 on the test.

    Uk has already told him that if he scored a 27 or higher he'd get a full free ride for college on the Big Blue Campus. Plus earn a stipend each month on top of the free ride.........

    So proud of all his hard work and studying and he well deserves the free College education.

    Plus i believe he can take the test again if he wish's and might be able to score even higher if he can.

    Considering the IQ ,or LACK THERE OF, of his father his momma must be an absolute GENIUS. But considering who she married that theory will not hold water either. There must have been some baby switching at the hospital. Tell him the reason that a fine institution of higher learning like the University of Kentucky will accept him is that Indiana turned him down because a 28 ACT score at IU is good enough to skip the formalities and only 1 credit shy of receiving a Doctorate. Last I heard, a 7 ACT score at IU was good enough to head up the Psycology Department.

    Great news. That will leave enough money in your pocket for a new truck and boat.

    What is wrong with this picture? An Indiana Hoosier fan DAD and a son that is considering attending University of Kentucky fishing in a U of L Open Bass tourney. If the son was not carrying dead weight around he would have won the tourney with ease.

    lol Woody...I'll have you know I fished the tourney 3 times in a roll and never placed outta the money.....Got a 1st, 2nd and a 3rd place finish when I entered the Open Tournaments......

    Only reason he's not a Hoosier fan is because of his momma....At the tme when he first started learning about bball....His momma was a U of L fan...She wanted to make it more interesting in the family. So she got him to root for UK out of spite for me and my love for my Hoosier's. Oldest is a momma boy big time and youngest is a daddy's boy....

    Now she's not a U of L fan anymore, she's a " And I Quotew " Oh those are pretty color's for that team" I'm a fan of said team now....

    But for one thing for certain...She never persuaded my youngest son to go against the grain....He's all Indiana...his entire room is decked out in the Hoosier Stuff 100%.....

    Cracks me up...When were in public and he see's a person wearing a Plain hat with a Big " K " on it...He'll stop the person and say...Man I didn't know people rooted for Kansas this far east...... You should see some of the faces on some of those cat fans....lol
