Class Reunion--Oklahoma Baptist University

I just returned from Shawnee, Oklahoma where I attended my 35th (!) college reunion. I told Paul and Ryan that in some ways it seems like I graduated about when they did. But I must admit that I have a few more miles on me than they do. :) OBU is consistently ranked as one of the best values in U.S. News and World Report. I had Ivy League and Rhodes Scholar professors when I was there. I never had a class that was taught by a graduate assistant, and almost all of my classes were small.

For all those reasons and more, I joke with Paul and Ryan about the "real green and gold" being in Shawnee instead of Waco. But I'm a huge Baylor fan also, especially basketball. I missed the exhibition game last Saturday, since I was in Oklahoma, so I'm looking forward to seeing the Baylor men this Saturday.

I'd like to know who reads our blog, so the first person who reads this and calls me can have 2 of our tickets to an upcoming game. We have new seats that are very good--6 rows up near mid-court. So let me hear from you!
