    So if your son doesn't go on

    a mission, can you use Jake Heaps as a cop out as to why your son didn't go.

    Of course I see that come up on Cougarboard, it is expected. I do wonder though at BYU if someone of Heaps status would get pressure from any influential people to go, because of the example it would set if he didn't.

    I don't respect parents who blame the example of a football player for making it tough to raise a kid and make him do what the parent wants him to do. Why should that guilt trip be layed on someone.

      If he's starting QB at a Division I school instead.
      If we disagree on something, it's because you're wrong.

          If/When I have a son and he chooses not to serve a mission, I will definitely blame Heaps/Max/Bronco.

                          Nope. Neither Funk nor I have served a mission.

                                  For most my adult life I regretted not going. I don't feel that way anymore.
