Does DD wear a tshirt or uniform shirt representing her TB organization when going to see a college game? We're going to an end of season tournament and at least two schools of her interest will be playing.

Thanks for any input.

I would definitely wear a t-shirt or jersey. They may not recognize her otherwise. I cannot recognize my own TB players in street clothes with their hair down so I can imagine what it is like for a college coach. I will say it is the norm at SC for recruits.

I recommend wearing a shirt of the schools biggest rival. UCLA game, wear a Cal shirt. Michigan game, wear an Ohio State shirt. Just make sure you eat your Wheaties in the morning. :)

On a serious note, all college games I've been to, the girls always wear something from their travel team or little league team. Most important, have a lot of fun and enjoy the game. They are a blast!

Wheaties would be nice, but sadly I'm at the point I can't afford to skip my Fiber One.

We did good, looks like. DD's in a TB tshirt and I'm in my nicest coach shirt. DW is sporting one of her favorite tournament souvenir tees. Watching Coastal Carolina and Charleston Southern on a beautiful night. I think Liberty's up next. Time for a couple if hot dogs soon - which helps explain the Fiber One.

Rise, DD hits an SC camp this summer. I hear it's a decent enough place.

My DD 3 did something like this about a year ago.
The kids' HS mascot is the Spartans, exactly the same shade of green and white as Michigan State. One time DD 3 went to a volleyball clinic at the HS, got a t-shirt that says "Spartan Nation".

The next spring she went to a 12u and younger clinic after a Badgers softball game. I have pictures of DD 3 with both the mascot and the Badgers HC wearing that Spartan Nation t-shirt. The HC saw the shirt and asked me what HS DD3 was going to attend. Lady knows the local high schools.

A week later we went to watch DS in a rowing regatta hosted by Michigan. We stayed at a motel in Ann Arbor. DD 3 was about to leave the room with her Spartan Nation shirt. I asked her to change. We got to the race, and wound up sitting next to the family of a Michigan State rower...
