We'll know Tuesday but I can tell that the renovation includes tutoring classrooms one of which will have my wife's and my name on the door.

Doors don't really cost that much.

I really hope that the side facing the stadium looks awesome. The stadium could use a little splash of awe.

I repeat my request for an outdoor pavillion on top. Not sure what else could be added that would splash that awe. Big Wall sized Fathead? I agree, it's an opportunity to get rid of that bland. Even if it can't be afforded at the moment, have a plan and be sure the modifications will be consistent. I think I'd plan for the day when the video board takes up a significant amount of that end-zone real estate.

It's always the name-plate.

Everyone go buy a Megamillions ticket and we can have whatever we want the athletic department to have

Just not a comment I'd make regarding a donation that someone has made, sarcasm or not.

Come on man, who donates to buy a door? If H2O had made it, you wouldn't have assumed some nefarious purpose.

In case that wasn't sarcasm, the door is merely a symbol of the gift made by the donor. The gift doesn't actually by a physical door.

Very nice NMR! Looking forward to seeing it and the rest of the renovations. Larimer is one of the oonly (maybe THE only) building on campus I've never entered.

The donation goes toward the room being built. In this case it is a tutoring room and their names will be on the door. If I recall correctly this was at least a $20,000 dollar donation level. Eastisbest you are out of line here!

I'm not a big fan of east, but c'mon, it was just a joke. Some people are taking it too seriously.


But back to NMR point - Thank You for the donation. Without people like you, UT Athletics wouldn't be as succcessful as they are.
