How many remember McCaffery broke his leg in the Monday Night game on 9/10/2001?

It was the lead story on my first and only sportscast the next morning :(

I remember that game.

And no one can die better then when Denny dies like he can die.

Great regular season coach, horrible post-season coach. Over-thought way too many things.

This will mean something only to Clarkson grads and to those into colloidal chemistry, but Professor Egon Matijevic died today at age 94.

I took Chem 102 from him back in 1974. His lectures were famous - 8am and you better not nod off. He would come by your seat and pound the table with his pointer, give you a quarter for coffee and toss you from the lecture. But he taught Chemistry with a love for the subject that was infectious. A highlight of recent reunions was to attend another lecture from Prof. Matijevic.

If there was a more beloved and respected professor on campus, I never met him or her. He was a giant.

clarkson.edu has his full biography.

When I read this, I recognized the name from my days working at the Shipley Company in Newton MA. Dr. Matijevic was instrumental in resolving some critical patent issues for the the founders of the Company (Lucia and Charlie Shipley). That's a nice remembrance that you wrote.

And the Shipley's are major donors to Clarkson.
 
Re: The Dead Thread: Yep. Still Dead.

This is somewhat creepy. I just got an email from Jerry Hudson (a/k/a Old Pio). I deleted it without clicking on the link it contained.

Did not realize that The Big Lebowski and Mayor Johnson were the same guy. Mostly because he looked way older than mid-40s in Blazing Saddles.
