So while you are content with D3 outcome, there is a bit of disappointment. it’s not your disappointment - be proud your kid did the best with what they had - it’s theirs! Your genes failed them.

every time you respond insisting otherwise you kind of prove him right.

What about how much fun it is to call him out when he talks out of his piehole...which means whenever he talks, period?

You are sad and pathetic person. But that is your problem. There is no disappointment at all. My kid played quite a bit at a D3 school, had a great time, got a great education, and has a very good job. He gets paid very well. Sure, he isn't Christian Pulisic, but how many American Christian Pulisics are there? If my thoughts were that my kid would be the next one then I would be disappointed but that was never a thought.

You mean like that half-second some might think at a kid's childbirth of a dream about her or him being President some day? Like kind of disappointment?

...getting back to talking stuff about NESCAC vs UAA...the UAA have the advantage year in year out because they are 2-3 times larger than the NESCAC schools. It's college vs university. That noted, the NESCAC schools have done a fine job recruiting (if especially from the prep schools) to field competitive teams (not just soccer).
Tufts being the university in NESCAC that might prove the point. They're in some ways a better fit for UAA (enrollment and research) and have taken qualities of both conferences to several D3 championships.
Another way to differentiate the conferences: planes vs buses for travel. Both are so glamorous but I think I'd prefer a bus ride assuming decent cell phone coverage and a nice view of the New England countryside rather than hassling with TSA lines.
