Yes, I knew George well. He was still teaching classes and now we are figuring out how to teach those classes.

Wow, that’s amazing at 99 and teaching. So are you now the oldest in the department?

I am not

Although I am getting closer

He was my mother’s chemistry teacher, good friend of my paternal grandparents, and a pillar of our church.

Did you know him @Volprofch05 ?

Hmmm, I was a chemistry major at UT but don't recall this guy. Probably because I was in the organic area during my years

Ain’t no BVS up in here!!

Yeah, George was an amazing guy. In his 90s, still had more energy than most of our new people.

I tried googling the difference between chemistry and organic chemistry and I still don’t get it.

I never touched weed. I stuck to alcohol

My wife always says we we have no chemistry and I don’t get that either.

Is Klinefelter still kickin'?

The owner of my company just informed me that I am the third oldest in the company. What a kick in the testicles.

Is that his nonchalant way of asking you to retire?

@VolPack22
If the Braves sneak in to the postseason, you better hope they draw the Mets next week.
You and I both know the Mets would find a way to choke.

Nope, Don passed away in 2019 at age 84. He taught a very large number of students in Organic. It's amazing how many people I have met who took his class.

 

[cobbwebb0710]

One step farther. How lucky are Vols to have CJH to be able to bring a QB like Nico to Tennessee?

I’ll humor you...
How lucky are we that Fulmer hired Pruitt, which got them both fired, so we could hire Danny White, who would hire Heupel...

Uh, oh. Probably has a individual younger and willing to take less pay. It's okay you've probably had a nice career. Just kidding.

He taught thousands every year in freshman chemistry back in my day, via TV sets, in the 1980s.

I had a few organic chemistry teachers but the one I remember was Dr Magid. I hope I remembered that name right. I remembered on a final exam he explained a new sugar that he named after Phil Niekro. He called in Niekros. I loved that

I was thinking younger AND hotter...

@VolPack22 is bipolar as hell. One minute the Braves aren't going to make Playoffs and fire Snit. Now wearing the shades because the Braves are just 1/2 game back of WC.

The student has learned well from the Master.

Young grasshopper is merely overcome with radiant joy for his sport ball team.
Soon he will grow within himself and learn to harness and channel his emotions and thus will one day become as free in his sportdom, as the floating butterfly.

There are 3 certainties in life: Death, Taxes, and the Mets being the Mets. My confidence is somewhat brimming due to the fact that I never trust the Mets to breakthrough whenever their fans need it the most. If the Mets get swept this series then I don’t believe they even make the postseason. They will tuck their tail and hide. Chris Sale isn’t going to make it easy for them and Max Fried is itching to be an impactful pitcher in the postseason again. I believe this will be a sweep because the Mets won’t score more than 4 runs combined off those guys. The pitching is the only thing that gives me hope. The offense can go in the dumps at any moment but the pitching has been there all season.
