Campus Tours (or not): OK State and U/Oklahoma

In this episode, I travel to Oklahoma to do two campus tours.  One of those at Oklahoma State University in Stillwater OK and the University of Oklahoma in Norman.  What happens on this trip is the culmination of poor planning and preparation and the most freakish winter weather event that no one at the National Weather Service could have forecast.

ET 25: First D1 Baseball Game, Gotta Get Out Of Stillwater

I went to my first NCAA Division I baseball game at O'Brate Stadium, froze my hands off, missed a bases-loaded homer while I was at the concession stand, and recorded all the weird stadium ambience so you can feel like you were there.

Between the echoing organ, the slow innings, and my frank take on why Stillwater’s economy feels so stuck, this episode mixes game-day vibes with a candid chat about where I might go next — Eugene or Tuscaloosa, anyone?

Short, honest, and a little salty — join me for cold seats, Jeep woes, and plans to leave a town that’s run out of chances. Catch you on the next Everyday Tracks.
