Our daughter is also in second grade, and this somewhat tracks with our experience (except for the teachers, they've both been excellent). Perhaps our biggest objection is that (for both years in public school) the teachers reward our daughter for excellent performance by giving her tablet time...

The "problem" is that we're in a (supposedly) excellent district. We moved here specifically for the public school. But it's not close to offering what we hoped. Maybe that would change as the kids get further along, but our current experience doesn't give us much hope. Again, this is...

I didn't attend public schools in Oklahoma, so I'm hoping to get some insight from those that have navigated this topic already. We recently started our kids in a fantastic public school district in Oklahoma, and initially felt really good about that decision. We wanted to do our part to...

He cares about being a college football head coach at the D1 level. Wild thought, huh?

It's a complete circus.

Hey, folks! Following up to a music video I posted a while back, we've now released the full album titled "Honky Tonk Therapy" (finally!) Take a listen on your favorite service. We'd love any clicks, likes, subs, etc... if you feel so inclined. Hope you enjoy :-)...

The current system sucks as a whole, but with the amount of money randomly distributed across a huge number of schools (and constantly changing based on donor activity), I can see how it would be foolish to not look around at as many schools as possible to potentially find life-changing money...

I definitely get a Moneyball vibe from the coaching staff and GM.

I know it's the current system, but you gotta feel bad for NT. They are basically being penalized for succeeding. I know it's happening elsewhere, but this is just so bad for college football. Completely unsustainable.

It wasn't a matter of skill. It was a matter of effort. Little interest and effort were devoted to it, and it really exposed that approach once NIL + open transfer happened.

I know it's an oversimplification, but I don't think anything will change until ESPN starts losing money or the federal government gets involved to force changes. I'm hoping both happen.

Nothing against Glass - he seems like a great human and a solid coach. But our program became a good ol' boy club, and nobody was holding any of them accountable. I don't like seeing people lose their jobs, but I am glad to see us more or less clean house so we can start fresh. Maybe that...

I appreciate the kind and helpful feedback! We made three videos in this session. We'll be releasing another once the full album is released in early January. I'll post here when the second video final cut is ready!

Here's what I liked. - He WANTS to live in a small town (not that Stillwater is tiny), and he feels like Stillwater is a great place to raise his kids - He loves the Big 12 - He enjoys mentoring and getting to know the players - He doesn't seem to have a chip on his shoulder - He seems to align...

Post #193 in this thread, on the previous page. It's a pretty good, short interview that's worth watching. https://rideemcowboys.com/threads/official-eric-morris-is-the-new-osu-coach.2173/post-195358
