When I coached, I could always a trace a straight line from problem kids to their parents.

I assume there's a MU support group for this sort of issue.


Not uncommon. More of my Marquette friend's kids have gone to UW than to Marquette. Including multiple graduates of MUHS. 

Public flagships have large classes and draw really good students.

I got into UW as well.  The good news is he can choose to not go there!

I got into Michigan and ND.  I chose MU.

....citrus greening...

Its a brutal situation, and its been in the works for years.  I worked for Tropicana a decade ago and the orange growers were already neck deep in chaos about it.  That 8 year grow cycle makes things incredibly challenging even without greening.  I remember driving through an orchard for the first time and seeing rows of what looked like fully mature trees and being told they were still 3-4 years away from producing anything.  And being blown away by the contingency planning needed if God forbid you lost chunks of immature seedlings.

Trop50 was the big focus product at the time for us.  Touted because it was 50% less sugar.  But the appeal was two fold, cause it was basically just OJ diluted in half with water...thus you could stretch your original juice much farther.
