Not Duane wouldn't know...


Now, if we are talking what's hanging up in the Cintas Center....different story.


Edit: No Natty or Final Four banners there. Stick that in your pipe, Not Duane.

You haven't hung a significant banner since Cronin.

You also haven't checked the news update in the Arkansas-PB thread.

But ostriches do that, so I'm not surprised.

Would it shock you to know that I've been affiliated with UC over half my life? Began as an undergrad, did my post-grad, and my RA there. I'm now faculty.

Remember when Mr. Jim's Steak House was part of the Student Union? My family used to eat at the actual restaurant on Reading Rd. before it closed.

I remember my first parking sticker on campus back in 81...I was in the C-Lot...that was a long walk to class. I took O-Chem from Belletiere and Pinhas and Kaplan (God rest his soul) and Physiology in Baldwin from Dan Gist.

John Trela was on my graduate committee--he discovered the enzyme employed in PCR (you can look that up) his grad student at the time was Jerilyn VerHoven.

Remember when the bookstore was attached to the Physics building?

I watched Sander come down from the top floor of the EPA where I worked for a time.

On rainy nights I can head home from Nippert by short-cutting through the engineering building and you can stay inside all the way to Crosley.

I frequently stop by some of the departments I've worked in over in Reivischel to say hello to the staff. I was part of the renovation for the chemistry department freshman labs back in 2010-11 under the supervision of Bruce Ault.

I left there to re-enter research over at the Med Center for a couple of years followed by an appointment as an ACA in Biology. The most recent news there is that we are getting a new A&S dean to replace Ken Petren, to go with our new department head Dr. Culley.

I get IT updates almost daily from Yu-Chin Fu regarding spam and software updates.

Oh...and my father taught at the college of engineering for a time. He is now retired from General Electric.

Do you feel stupid yet?

I hope so.

I always say...when someone wants to make a fool of themselves, get out of the way and let it happen.

NotDuane - we are the same age if you hit UC straight out of high school. Thanks for the trip down memory lane.
I do remember much of what you wrote including the bookstore. I stopped in there a couple years ago - being used as some type of library.

Not sure what the beef is on this thread because I personally have boycotted all threads with Duane in the text and simply don't read them.

Apparently BCat #1 doesn't think I've ever attended UC or hold a degree from the instiution, and he's so laughably off the mark that I can't resist twisting the knife a bit further...

I did my 1st 2 years out at Rays in Blue Ash starting in 79 and then transferred to main campus to finish up.

Remember McDonalds in the top part of the student union? Remember the game room with the pool tables and bowling alleys in the basement?

How about the News Record office just down the hall from Mr. Jims?

I remember 1st year chem with Bruce Ault giving pre-lab instructions over the black and white TV monitors prior to doing the labs.

Remember beating the Delaware Blue Hens in the 1st round in 92 on the way to the Final Four?

Remember KMart breaking his leg against the GD Billikens (Spoonhour) the year we were stacked and ranked #1 in the country?

Pete Mikeal
KMart
Steve Logan
DerMarr Johson
K Satterfield

Why did Mikeal dissapear in the tourney that year? Never figured that out.

Did you know Eric Hicks played here professionally last year for the Kentucky Enforcers? (ABA)

Ahhh...memories....

All until NZ appeared and shat on everything.
