Ree Drummond Drops Son Bryce Off for His Freshman Year at the University of North Texas
As fall looms and college campuses reopen their doors to students, parents across the South are taking their kids to university. One of those parents was Ree Drummond. The Pioneer Woman packed up her son Bryce and dropped him off at the University of North Texas this weekend—and like many other parents, needed two separate trips to Walmart to get it done.
Drummond reminisced about the adventure in an Instagram post, it took "2 trips 2 hours apart to 2 different Walmart locations plus 2 hours of organizing and 2 iced coffees" to get "Bryce's kitchen all set up and stocked yesterday." Well, all that plus a "500 mile drive to Texas and back." For Drummond it was all worth it though to make sure that Bryce had everything he needed "to make an egg." It's no surprise that a Food Network star would want her kid to have a fully equipped kitchen, even while living in the dorms.
Devoted fans of the Pioneer Woman and her telegenic family may recall that Bryce was recruited to play football at the University of North Texas. According to Drummond's blog, Bryce "graduated high school a semester early and took college courses over the summer and fall to satisfy his high school requirements" all so he could play ball starting in January of this year. Those who've kept close tabs on the Drummond family over the years will know Bryce is the third child of Ree and Ladd, so the college drop off isn't new for Mama but of course never gets any easier. As she noted in that same blog post, "Excuse me while I go cry for four hundred years."
But they got through it and Bryce is settling in on campus. He's ready to work hard on the football field, fighting for the mean green, and, of course, he is expertly prepared to cook eggs, maybe even for the entire team.

She’s a Pioneer woman who uses car, drinks Starbucks and shops at Walmart and is proud and vocal about her son going to a college no one outside of Texas ever heard of. She sounds like a cunt.

Bryce and Todd have been conspicuously absent for all of Ree's shows since the pandemic started. Instead, she has a rotating crew of Alex, Paige, Stu, and Mauricio.

He also plays football, so I'll bet he wishes he got into Alabama or Texas A&M.

Are you kidding? UNT is far superior to Arkansas. At some point Arkansas made an effort to recruit kids from Oklahoma, Texas, and probably other nearby states. They go for white kids with money who cannot get into UT or A&M. UNT is fine, especially if he was recruited to play ball. To graduate early like that and to start in January requires quite a bit of focus. I'm not saying the kid's a genius, but he is not on the face of it the dumbest of the kids.
As far as A&M, I get the feeling that they have lowered their standards to compensate for enrollment drops caused by Covid. Since the kid is out of state, they probably lowered their standards even more. The big universities want that out of state tuition.
I'd guess that the UNT kid is the smartest and it's a tossup between the A&M and Arkansas kids.

[quote] Guess she's not rich enough and he's not bright enough to get into a good school
Trust me, they have the money.
The Drummonds are one of the largest landowners in the United States.
[quote] With a cattle ranch spanning across some 433,000 acres, Ladd ranks as the 23rd largest landowner in the whole of the U.S. Ladd's family likely started to build a presence in the region at the beginning of the 20th century. Ladd's net worth is thought to be around $200 million — which far exceeds Ree's otherwise more than impressive $50 million.
[quote] Drummond Land & Cattle, the company Ladd co-owns with his brother, Tim, is thought to bring in $2 million a year. The company receives some of its funding from the U.S. government. According to Daily Mail, they received around $23.9 million between 2006 and 2017.
They easily could have paid for Bryce to go to a good school.
But I think both Ladd and Ree are fairly down-to-earth, and pretty discreet about their wealth.

The whole time line doesn’t make sense. He graduated a semester early and:

Why is he being dropped off in August? Why isn’t he playing now? How do you graduate then take classes to satisfy high school requirements?
None of this story makes sense other than her binge shopping at Walmart buzzing on Starbucks.

Is she still on TV? Out of all the other FoodNetwork hosts why? I really miss Pie Near Woman. Someone from her town supposedly knew what a lying cunt she was in real life and created a humor site based on her. Unfortunately unlike Ree, it went dead years ago. It was hilarious though, lots Ree's bull shit exposed and her fake perfect life of living on the ranch. Pretty sure it was a gay man.

She doesn't actually live IN Pawhuska--apparently it's quite a drive from their ranch. And I don't know if Pawhuska is large enough to support a Walmart or a Target. When they show her shopping on the show, it's usually at some non-chain local supermarket.
Fun fact: Pawhuska and their residence are in .... OSAGE COUNTY!

r45 She's probably the most prolific of the "stand-and-stir" Food Network presenters. She's the only one who pretty much has a new episode every single week--and now they're repackaged some of her segments into new shows that also air every week (one is on Saturday morning--the other is on Sunday.) None of the other hosts: Valerie B., Molly Yeh, Ina, Trisha, et. al, who are still producing shows, has this kind of schedule.

I’ve always wondered how the family acquired so much land in what was once Native American territory. Maybe someone married and killed their spouse, following the storyline of “Killers of the Flower Moon “ a book being turned into a movie with Leo DiCaprio and directed by Scorsese (bleh). The book is pretty good, btw.
