September 26, 20187 yr Impressive. Kid will be visiting Austin for an Engineering program this weekend.

September 28, 20187 yr This just goes to prove that a UT degree is twice as valuable as an A&M degree. “Walker has strong ties to the two universities, having earned a bachelor’s degree and Ph.D. in mechanical engineering from Texas A&M and a master’s degree in mechanical engineering from UT Austin.”
September 28, 20187 yr It will be redirected to the football program, somehow. Petty cash for Jimbo’s recruiting slush fund.
September 28, 20187 yr Awesome! He must've been jealous of the the EERC building and wants to see more upgrades on the Mechanical/Petrolium side. Maybe they will remove that horrible Mark di Suvero ironwork sculpture.
September 28, 20187 yr I'd like to see some it it subsidize a good fried rice eggroll kiosk, hold the fencing operation.
September 28, 20187 yr I wonder how much that would buy in Thermodynamics cheat sheets (jr. reports that most of his classes are not too bad toughwise, at least manageable, but Thermo will be kicking his ass up, down and sideways. Says he needs to use "83% of his available total brainpower for Thermo." this semester). Edited September 28, 20187 yr by phdhorn
