No shortage of intelligent, capable students grace your classroom when you teach at the University of Oklahoma. An incredible amount of incredibly smart students crossed my path during four semesters there. The brightest? Jessica Jackson. USAO did a smart thing recently and hired her as its new sports information director. Teaching her was almost like not teaching at all. She learned concepts so quickly that it was like having another computer in the room. Input the information and watch her immediately apply it. She'll do a tremendous job. She brings strong communications skills and a solid knowledge of sports. Hopefully she can escape the systemic political hogwash that inherently goes with higher education. After my seven-year stint (off and on) in higher education ended this summer, I found that I missed the kids but not the adults. It's good to have one of my students here. Welcome, Jessica.
