You could have went pro?

[thecalculator]

Not professional, but Juco college football.
It has nothing to do with an injury I just would rather focus on getting an education than wasting my time playing a game that I no longer have passion for.

 

[soltheman]

I currently play rugby for Minnesota's u19 state team.

While playing for my university's D-3 team, I occasionally play for men's clubs and some D-1 teams.

Our new coach has sent a few people to the Eagles (the U.S' best team,) so we'll see if I have what it takes to get to the next level in the next couple years.

[wade187]

I don't know about pro, but I'm sure I could've went D1 only problem was I couldn't shoot, dribble, and I'm only 5'8. I'm sure I would've made it though if my 8th grade coach aint cut me

 

[obie21]

pro probably not
but i know i could have worked my way into eventually starting at a D1 school at football
had a lot of pac-10 schools looking at me, but my grades + never took SAT.. SMH

do you now realize you were dumb for not going to Everton?

you guys still are trying to prove him wrong

. dude is straight up lying. if he went to oak hill and averaged 34 ppg he would not be getting scholarships from only nc state, indiana, and illinois.

 

[rudy]

i had a dream to be in the nba but there are so many broken dreams

 

[TheGift23]

Shocked GUNNA Get it hasn't replied

wheres that one NTer who played flag football and was a 6'6" cornerback 

ElderWatsonDiggs

I couldve went pro but all the tickets always sold out so i only cop NCAA tickets

 

[ill legal operation]

I should've never quit soccer - I was the only one on my club team that didn't play in college, I was pissed at a lot of politics and just quit...

...matter of fact, it was the coach at Temple that got me into the school, but I got there and just said, ''*@*! it'' - I regret that decision to this very day.

Couple of my friends had quick stints (and some are still playing) in the MLS: Judah and Micah Cooks, Chino, Kenny Arena (Bruce's son), and Amir Lowery...

...everything happens for a reason I suppose and it definitely burns to watch a MLS game and see people playing that I know I'm better than, but if I never quit soccer and learned the valuable lesson of how lame it feels to be a quitter and let behind the scene politics and sneak talk get to you so much that you turn your back on your God-given talent - I would've dropped outta law school.

Life lesson learned...

Chino Alegria?...

  

 

[ill legal operation]

Yeah, Alegria...

 

[TheGift23]

Mmm...son was a bum and never seemed in shape. Of course it didn't help he was on some bad DC teams.

 

[ill legal operation]

...matter of fact, Chino gave me the most beautiful assist anyone ever played me - we were at the USA Cup in Minnesota playin' some scrub Midwestern squad - homie had the ball around our 18 and I was up top (striker), the sweeper was sleepin' in the back so when I made my deep %$% run I was still onside, Chino sent a ball from our 18 to about 30 yards outside of their goal right to my foot perfectly in stride with my run...

...I sent that !%$# scorchin' to the upper 90, but his pass was more amazing than my goal.

 

[jwalker123]

i could have played NCAA i had a dream about playing for the NY yanks
and winning the world championship but i really never played baseball in my life

Damn,

But is that why you're a U.S. fan now?

As for me I would've gotten at least a scholarship for baseball if I kept playing.

I have always been a US fan, but back then i wanted to play for mexico just so I could of played for my dad's favorite team. (Guadalajara only accepts mexican players.)

but after I was cut and returned home, one of the first things i did was throw all of any mexico affiliated stuff to the trash. except for my necaxa, atlante, and atlas jerseys that they gave me.

 

[lynchpin33]

I am not going to say that I could have went pro, but if I had the mindset i had now (workout twice a day before and after work 6am and 5 30 pm) and had a coach who gave a damn.  It could have been very interesting how far I would have went.  A coach who cares and that has good connections is always a gigantic help. 

 

[omgitswes]

if i wasn't so damn lazy, i could of probably been a bench warmer at a D2 school for basketball.
but that's about it

 

[julian wright]

Already there

 

[hyphysole]

never could of went pro, but I have played against players who I knew would go pro.

Such as Jarryd Bayless from the Blazers. Dude killed our bball team in HS
