  1. Lots was the wrong word - the dean of the finance department told me "some" their recent graduates got positions at BlackRock and JP Morgan. In 21-22 class, they had 221 graduates with 41 in finance where 97% either got jobs or are in grad school. Employers of students graduating in finance that year include: Baptist College Ministries BC Shumen BKD CPAs & Advisors BOK Financial Cinemark Theatres Deloitte EY LLPFellowship of Catholic University Students (FOCUS) Fleming Construction Group George Kaiser Family Foundation Goldman Sachs JPMorgan Chase & Co. Magellan Midstream Partners, L.P. Northstar Wealth Management Nuance Communications Verizon Volkswagen Group of America Walmart Corporate Interesting thing Tulsa offers is a 100% guarantee you will find a job within 6 months of graduation. (What that really means is they will pay for your first semester (or year? I don't recall) of grad school if you don't land a job.) https://utulsa.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/05/2021-2022-FDS-Report.pdf
  2. We've got a list for the kids from a consultant that provided us a top 15 list based on degree (business), grades, ranking, scores and the possibility to get academic scholarships. ASU was on the list but not UofA (or OU since they stopped the out-of-state discounts). (Ol' Miss wasn't either but it's been a personal favorite of one of mine for some reason - probably friends that currently attend there now...)
  3. I've got senior twins and one of them is probably going the same route as yours at AR... Visited the past weekend and we all really like the campus and the vibe and momma loved the downtown shopping area as well. They did say on the tour that this would most likely be the last year of the out-of-state deductions - IIRC, in-state plus 50% for 3.2 GPA, in-state+30% for 3.5 and in-state+10% for 3.7 (or .8?)gpa. If both do go to UA, I'll probably be buying a house for them to share and rent out a room or have a place for us to crash, store my fly fishing gear and visit often... OSU felt like a condensed version of TT but with a few trees and no stench but in the middle of no where. The town of Stillwater seemed tiny and you probably want to roadtrip to anywhere on the weekends. U of Tulsa has an impressive business program that has peaked some interest with one of them but with only 3000 students, it may be a tough sell to actually live there. (Lots of business school kids getting hired at JP Morgan and Blackrock) Mrs. took the boys to visit TCU, SMU, UTA and UTD. TCU was ok "Lots of new money wannabees" , one boys fell in love with SMU (FML). UTD and UTA - saw them and left in the middle of their tour mainly for the comments previously posted especially about the social aspects. ("No way I'm going here...) Arizona State, Ol' Miss, Texas State, UTSA and TT visits still to come. Sucks that the kids attend a HS that hosts the district STEM program (not the school itself but because of the ranking) - a top 10% kid that would be top 6% without all the district kids coming in to attend STEM... Both also have EU passports so applying several business schools in Europe as well - all with English only programs.
  4. We visited the campus on Friday for my kids college visits and I made sure to take a dump both there and on the OSU campus... Same with Pig on Sat...
  5. Kodi will work too. However, I don't have to find the stream on XBMC, that is done automatically once I select the channel of my choice. Add "Daddy Live" (or many others) as a video add-on to Kodi and it does the same...
  6. Isn't every chick posted on here someone's daughter?
  7. Yup, and Kodi is easy to install on any Amazon device with a few tweaks... (if anyone needs directions, visit troypoint.com for instruction on Kodi installation as well as the various plug-ins...)
  8. Just get a XBMC box for $100 and watch anything you want for free. Every imaginable sports channel you want, it has and it's free after the initial $100 for the box. Or just download install Kodi for free... But both Kodi and an XBMC box rely on streams and for me at least, finding a decent stream for this game sucked... At least no more need for live LHN anymore...
  9. Just saw this game review by a couple of Sooners that basically kept swallowing the orange sword praising the way we played...
  10. PSA- with this heat, check your tire pressure. Mine were at 40 today...
  11. The last 2 bills I got had recommended amounts below the tip line for 18%, 22% and 25%. I usually tip 20%+ UNLESS they use the total amount which includes the tax in the total when calculating their recommended tip %... Sorry, I'm not tipping you on the total including the taxes...
  12. "Week 0 Saturday September 26 (Times Central):" Glad week 0 is a month after week 1...
  13. Our MUD installed "wireless" water meters in the past few years. I'm waiting for them to start using those to tell when people are "illegally" watering their yards at night - currently restricted to 2 nights a week based on the address - to start sending out fines...
  14. Its trying to become marble...
  15. Seeing your post made me think - why not use the holes that were for the volleyball net to add extra umbrellas... Thanks!
  16. I have an oak that covers part of my pool. I can always tell when it's Polaris days as that's the few weeks when the oak starts dropping acorn in my pool and my cleaner is in the shop...
  17. Probably been said before but a water feature is a must with this heat. We run ours overnight a few times a week to drop the water temperature and it makes quite a difference especially since the freezes killed off most of our shade (Japanese blueberry bushes).
  18. Blame Tonga... With Links to NASA and European Space Agency technical papers on reasons for the current heat increase globally... (Volcanic cause and not man-made CO2 increases...)
  19. Coming home to a garage freezer that crapped out and full of meat really sucks...
  20. Left 95 degree Barcelona for a few days in 70 degree highs in London before heading back to the Texas blast furnace... Loved my buddy giving me his rooftop apartment with a huge terrace in BCN for a week but didn't know that there wasn't an elevator... 79 frigging steps up with a wife who loves packing her suitcases to 49.9 pounds... Luckily, you can get cases of wine delivered to your door...
  21. 1 (maybe 2) episodes dropping tonight
  22. Evening on the Med in Spain does not suck…
  23. Talked to a UA 777 pilot neighbor of mine as I'm concerned about out trip from IAH to LHR on the 4th. He said that - as of today - they are "protecting" international flights from delays... (He's working a desk while he is training on a new airplane certification.)
  24. Aren't these delays related to the smoke and weather in the NE?
