By the way, I remember when the SEC season had only six conference games.  A 
ten team conference and only six conference games.  It wasn't that long ago.

If the schedule fell the right way, it wasn't so difficult to win the 
championship.  Unfortunately, we never managed it (except in '84 and '85, when 
the lousy hypocrites wouldn't recognize our titles).

I think they went to seven conference games in 1990, then eight with the 
expansion in '92.

This is why we had to drop scUM from the schedule.

Yes, they need at least 12 to have the championship game. 
They and the big ten are expanding simply because they're tired of being 
overlooked the last week of the season while the se c is getting all the 
attention.

The big 12 now 10 seems to be happy with no championship game.  Rumor dujour

or 11 are just plain stupid, some teams don't play each other, yet there is
no conference championship.

So, assuming all stupid 10 or 11 team conferences move to 12; we need 3
teams to step up to the big leagues (formerly the PAC 10 needed 2 and the
Big 10 needed 1; now the PAC 10 needs 1 and the Big 12 needs - or will need

So, who will those 3 be? Utah and...

I wouldn't be surprised if Salt Lake City weren't about the same as  
some of the Arizona schools.


I've driven from the Sonoma Coast to Lake Tahoe, it's not that far.  
Granted, Lake Tahoe is on the border.


Now Boulder, that seems like a hike.

My favorite memory of the old Chemistry building was an organic
chemistry
class I had in the old amphitheater auditorium classroom.  I had a young
handsome newly minted professor teaching this class of several hundred
in
1972.Streaking had just hit the campus.  A beautiful young woman
came in
through the front door which was near the pit where the instructor
taught.
She streaked up the aisle yelling about how hot he was and ran out the
back
fire escape door.  Obviously the instructor had lost control of the
class.
Every time the instructor tried to get back to lecturing, he would say a
sentence or two and then burst out laughing again.  After several
attempts,
he finally gave up and cancelled the remainder of class.

 

My frustration was that I had dozed off and missed seeing much of the
young
woman even though there was obviously a lot to see!

New UF chemistry building is needed


Work on the building itself will start when funding is approved.



By Ines Mato
Gainesville SUN Correspondent

Published: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 6:01 a.m. 
Last Modified: Wednesday, June 16, 2010 at 12:23 a.m. 

 

 

A new and much-needed chemistry building is being built in the
historical
part of the University of Florida campus in what is now a parking lot
near
the intersection of Buckman Drive and West University Avenue.

The building will provide more research facilities for chemistry
undergraduates and graduate students who are using facilities that are
50 to
60 years old.

When funding becomes available next year, the building itself will be
constructed, but at the moment workers are doing preliminary work, said
Frank Javaheri, the project's manager. The building will cost $65
million.

"Only the underground and utilities are being constructed for now,"
Javaheri
said.

The parking lot where the building will be put up will be relocated,
Javaheri said, but its new site has not been determined yet.

The new building is needed because UF's chemistry department doesn't
have
enough room for its students, said Daniel R. Talham, chairman of the
chemistry department.

Also, most of the chemistry labs date from the 1940s and 1950s and need
to
be modernized, Talham said.

The new building will provide students with new research facilities and
modern equipment that the old buildings don't have.

The contractor is Skanska USA Building Inc., and the completion date is
scheduled for July 2014.

The building will include four floors of labs and offices.

It will be divided into two undergraduate teaching floors, two floors of
graduate research space, a basement and a mechanical penthouse.

The architectural style will be gothic to match the architecture of the
nearby buildings.

I remember going through chemistry labs around 1980 - and it all seemed very
old then. 

 

I will never forget my first chemistry lab.  You had to bend glass.  Idea
was - to teach you to be careful since everyone burned the crap out of
themselves.

A new and much-needed chemistry building is being built in the historical
part of the University of Florida campus in what is now a parking lot near
the intersection of Buckman Drive and West University Avenue.

The building will provide more research facilities for chemistry
undergraduates and graduate students who are using facilities that are 50 to
60 years old.

When funding becomes available next year, the building itself will be
constructed, but at the moment workers are doing preliminary work, said
Frank Javaheri, the project's manager. The building will cost $65 million.

"Only the underground and utilities are being constructed for now," Javaheri
said.

The parking lot where the building will be put up will be relocated,
Javaheri said, but its new site has not been determined yet.

The new building is needed because UF's chemistry department doesn't have
enough room for its students, said Daniel R. Talham, chairman of the
chemistry department.

Also, most of the chemistry labs date from the 1940s and 1950s and need to
be modernized, Talham said.

The new building will provide students with new research facilities and
modern equipment that the old buildings don't have.

The contractor is Skanska USA Building Inc., and the completion date is
scheduled for July 2014.

The building will include four floors of labs and offices.

It will be divided into two undergraduate teaching floors, two floors of
graduate research space, a basement and a mechanical penthouse.

The architectural style will be gothic to match the architecture of the
nearby buildings.
