  • A third-grader at DaughterGeeding’s school was asked about his homework, and he said he needed to watch YouTube videos to learn about baseball.  The parent followed up to see what the actual assignment was, and the kid was right but just didn’t explain it all that well.  The PE teacher told them to try to learn more about the rules of baseball and softball and provided options of watching YouTube videos or spending time with their parents watching games.

  • It would never happen, but it would be funny if Mack Brown gets the new Athletic Director job at UT, fire Charlie Strong, and appoint himself head coach.  I root for the Longhorns, but I don’t keep a close eye on things, so the whole Steve Patterson firing was a surprise and one I don’t entirely understand.  From the sounds of it, he’s not good at communicating and not much of a people person.
