On Monday, I took a couple of boys and headed to OKC to pickup a load of metal & panels.  The ag pickup does not have XM radio, so FM stations it was.  As we traveled, I flipped channels to stations located in Woodward, Elk City, Weatherford and finally OKC.  As we neared OKC, a senior student made this comment, “I was looking forward to you playing a bunch of rock music on the KATT, not all of this football talk.”

         I replied, “This station is the KATT.  Every station in Oklahoma is talking about this football coach leaving.” 

And then, that night, Notre Dame has their coach leave.  Oh well.

         Chasing a dollar (hundreds of millions of $s) or chasing an easier path to a national championship, whatever.  Either way, any of these talking heads or fans airing their concerns by “calling in” or posting on social media would do exactly the same thing as these coaches, if given the opportunity.  

         I know.  I’m just an Okie State fan/GRAD.  I don’t know what it’s like to have a big time coach leave.  Uhh…..Les Miles left and won a national title at LSU.  Jimmy Johnson left for Miami and won a national title and then a couple of super bowls.  We had an up & coming basketball coach that baled on us and left us with some probation.  

        I’m not the biggest Mike Gundy fan, yet we are experiencing the best and longest stretch of success that OSU has ever enjoyed.  It’s all good.  

       I feel very confident that the u of o will find another successful football coach.  They might have to fire one or two until they get it right, but they will.  Same with Notre Dame.  

       Now, back to the real world of herding kids and animals.  

And today is December 1.  There is a birthday boy.  Duke started a new job this week on a wind farm near Weatherford, OK.  And today, he turns 21.  Oh no!!  Just what the world needs.  Another Kelln male that is legal.  

Have a good one!
