everyday conversation...


"Is Trinity University a Catholic school? Or Baptist?"
My response: "No, it was founded by Presbyterians, so that's how it got the name 'Trinity', but it's not affiliated with any religion today."

I can't begin to count how many times I've had this conversation. At least 50 times. Maybe even 100. Do I get sick of it? Yes, sometimes I do. But it's not the questions people ask that gets tiresome. In fact I love talking about it. It's what their asking means. It simply means that they don't know any better. They have never heard of Trinity. The fact that they don't know...that is what gets tiresome.

I don't blame people for not knowing about Trinity University. Not at all. In fact I had never heard of the place myself until I received a letter from the coach. But sometimes I just wish people understood. I wish they knew what a great place it is. I wish they knew that the education is excellent. I wish they knew that the soccer teams are a big deal. I wish they knew. Just a little bit.

I miss people just knowing.

  2. Don't worry Dan, your besties know. We know you would never go to a university without stellar academics and sports. And now you go to BYU, and everyone knows what BYU is around here... haha
