Is that a good thing?

It’s a good thing for the chemists, our building is ancient

I think he was more like this:

A lot in America were like that who could afford it.

Ancient like still working in a building built in the 20s & 30s?

No, it’s just another avenue for subscriptions for them. Cable and streaming will still be around but I know I don’t watch much of anything on live television other than sports. Would I rather pay $90/month for YouTube TV and only watch a select few channels or pay $25/month for this new service and have Max and Prime but still be under $50/month? And then I can just get an antenna for local channels airing sports. Pretty easy decision for me.

I get that. In my case, wifey has YTTV for movies and series and whatnot. So I have been able to freeload sports. I hardly ever watch non-Vols TV, so I have no idea about services, really.

Some deal @Volprofch05 put together. It's a chemistry building. You know...

1929 to be exact, it cost $180,000 to build back then

My elementary school (grades 1-4) back in the 1950s had to be built in 1910.

Old sorority building swapped for science as University of Tennessee grows with global partners

A former sorority hub is being swapped for a future science building, as the University of Tennessee celebrates a new cohort and the Volkswagen hub.

Wow, that's a far bigger building than the Panhellenic one was. As a former chemistry major, that'd be a nice facility to go to class

LMAO .... Chester running down the street in Dodge City "Mr. Dillon Mr. Dillon".

That equates to $3,376,789 today, per an inflation calculator I just checked.

Sadly, there will be almost no Chem classes in this new building, which will be almost entirely research labs. All of the undergrad labs are in the new Strong Hall, which has already been operational for a few years (I was on the design team for that), which will now be across the street from this new building. As for the lecture courses, who knows where those will be? They could technically be in any lecture hall though.

It's been 40 yrs for me...was it in Daughtery Hall back in my day?

Shoeless Joe Jackson and Pete Rose are now eligible for Baseball Hall of Fame...

 

[VolPack22]

What a POS Manfred is. Waiting until people are passed away to make them eligible. If OJ Simpson was allowed to stay in the NFL HOF then Pete Rose should have been allowed in the MLB HOF. Always such a double standard like not a single one of the HOF committee members or Manfred don’t have any skeletons in their closet. This is sports. People saw Pete Rose play and his stats are still in the record book. Pete Rose did 1000x more for the sport of baseball than Manfred could ever dream about doing. The whole situation is messed up to me.

And will probably be voted in first ballet.

Front Street, Dodge City in 1911.

Since you brought the subject up. The Rockies have drafted Beck, Dollander and Halvorsen from Vols last few seasons. Mock draft has Rockies picking fourth, 3 guesses who the projected pick is..

Pleas don’t tell me we’re gonna have 3 guys throwing in that wasteland?

Didn't Strong Hall used to be a girl's dorm?

Yes, they tore that down, except for one arch way from the original building that remains, and replaced it with a building that holds undergrad labs for Biology, Chemistry and Anthro. The new building retained the old name.

I can barely remember what Rose was doing. He bet on games that would benefit him?
Joe Jackson made bets on a WC?

Supposedly betting on Reds games.
