I don't have a clue what he is talking about. He points to my 2008 State Champ Hat and says "They've won a number of times." Okay, I get it now. I tell him that is one of the years that I had a son on the team.
Then he says (and I swear this is true) "I don't recognize them as state champs because they didn't play the big teams. I graduated from Taylor." No break, not pause. I guess he added the Taylor thing on so I would understand why he had no clue.
So understanding that he is not going to realize that the break in the Division I and II is pretty arbitrary, I just say, "the 2007 team could have beaten anyone." His answer to that? "You think they could have beat UT or A&M?" Had to ask him to repeat that as I didn't have my ears on and was not sure I heard him correctly. I had to clarify that I was only talking about high school teams in the nation. I should have answered "Well, we did have two DBacks from that team that walked on the field at College Station and started as true freshmen."
"A mind is a sad thing to waste." You would think that people who went to school in Texas would have a clue about how this thing works, but they don't.
