!%!% gets real when you run track in college. It's more of a job than anything, you have to love the sport and not just be really good at it. You go away to college for your freshman year and you have all the freedom in the world for the first time and you don't know how to handle it. Our whole freshman class ended up transferring or quitting by the second year besides about 4 people. Just about all of us were on academic probation after our first semester. In study hall everyone just went on Facebook the whole time instead of doing our work. During winter break this chick we had that was an All-American pole vaulter in high school met some dude that flew her out to Cali to shoot a porn, promised her she was getting 7 grand and a free round trip. She got the free trip but only came back with 700 bucks 

. My girlfriend at the time was good friends with her and had told me about it and I didn't tell anybody, but then two weeks later the !%!% hit the internet and everybody on campus found out. It was the most popular video on a few porn sites for a few days 

. Our coach found out about it somehow and she just dissapeared from campus a day later. Good times.

@Buc Em: you aint lying about it being a full time job! I spent more time on the track and in the weight room than I did class. And dont get me wrong, I was always a good student going into college. It was just that the pressure to perform and not wanting to be the freshman who couldnt hack it had my priorities all messed up. College as a whole for me was bad from the start: being a freshman in a new city, with his own house (thanks to my parents of course), fly car, was an athlete, and looked halfway decent...shoooooot class could kiss my ***!!! I was majoring in anatomy and physiology ya dig!!! But trust after my first year I was on AP, and once that letter came in saying that I was in jeopardy of not only losing my scholarship but could potentially get kicked outta school, I knew I had some major life decisions to make.

And to ol boy who asked about the recruitment stories...

I got vids

Lol that one of the biggest reasons why I played only one year there and I hated the head coach. And yeah the whole campus went home every weekend because there was nothing to do there.

Because I hate football. I only did it because I got a scholarship. That and I hated the town but I'm grateful that I got the opportunity to get my education paid for. Although I hated my college experience in its entirety I'm just glad I came out debt free. It was tough but now that I look back I'm glad I stuck it out.
