Title: I have a confession...
Post by: EllToPay on May 21, 2009, 11:32:40 AM
I took Ronnie's Leadership Class my senior year.

I'll open up the floor for any questions you have about said class...

Was he super smug?  Did he just joke around all the time or was he a hard ass?  Did he open the floor for questions about the football team?  What was the most awkward moment(s)?

No. However, I did kiss his ass by saying "great win" after our one point victory over Illinois State.

Moderately smug at first. You should have seen him the class after the Texas win. Acted like he was king of the world.

Joked around a lot, wasn't really a hard ass. Acted like he knew the answer to every question thrown at him. Didn't really open the floor for football. Used examples in football to relate to real life.

Real awkward when his wife came to class. He'd look at her and wink like every 10 minutes.

No, but he and the other instructor let class out five minutes early once, though.  :woot:

Give more details.  What was said between them, from him about her, etc.  Did he ever raise his voice to anyone?

Wore glasses a couple times. Always wearing a suit.

Smelled good. Old spice, IIRC.

People were never late. Always 10 min early to see him make his grand appearance.

Was he all smug like "I know" or did he realize you were being condescending?

Negative.

We read Built to Last as a class and asked him questions about it. The moderator would ask him questions, and he'd be staring off into space until she said, 'Coach...' Then he'd make up some BS answer. Everyone was in awe of him.

Nothing said out loud between them. She'd just sit in the back of the room and observe. He'd talk about her at the end of class. One time her parents came, too. Then he started kissing ass after class telling us all how great her family is. Then he'd give that standard Ron Prince smug smile.

Never raised his voice to anyone at all. Wish he would have tho. Couple kids in the class he didn't like, I could tell. Probably a couple powertards.

Funny story. One time after class I went to the bathroom to take a piss, and Ron walks in behind me and pisses right next to me. Looks over at me and said, 'Whats shakin...'

Very awkward, imo.

Then he tries to tell me and my buddy in the class about how he's trying to get the team out and about and do some community service work. I nodded and acknowledged him, like I was saying, 'wow, that's great of you coach!'

Mentioned Jack Welch about three times every class.

Al Groh was mentioned about 10 times every class. Not kidding.

You know how every class has that one student (usually a girl), that always ask questions and always trying to answer the questions the teacher throws out? Well, there was one of those in this class. She and Ronnie had some connection. He'd always call her by name and give a little smile after she talked.

I think they were bonin'.  :AA:

Good question. It was the first time I took a leadership class that a gay man or woman didn't teach it, so yes by default.

I would have looked down and then looked at him with a straight face and said, "This. Its as long as a broomstick; hard as a hatchet; so damn hard a cat can't scratch it!"

And then I would have given him by best "Wildcat Growl".

Ron probably handed one out to everybody the first day. They were probably the large variety that takes extra effort to pull the giant, bear trap like rings apart. Heavily loaded with leadership stuff too.

Wonder what title Ron had printed on them?
