Bob Stitt new OC at UNC?

[kemajic]

It takes that 90 minutes from Greeley to lose the feed lot odor.

There are no feedlots in Greeley. It’s illegal to keep livestock...true story.

I remember a former UNC coach saying that "It really doesn't smell that bad"

Ya all forget Missoula with Waldorf-Hoerner paper plant at Frenchtown in the 60s. Come out in the mornings and black soot covering your car. Now, it's temp inversions in winter & wildfire smoke in the summers. Yeah, Greeley so much worse than Missoula, air-wise. :?

There was no ash or soot emitted from the craft mill; that came from the teepee burners right in town. A lot of sulphur emissions is what came out of Hoerner-Waldorf; I did some part-time work in their lab. You could not take your clothes into the house after working out there. I can open a book today that I took out there to study and still smell the place. I had my car sprayed with 50% caustic one night in the company parking lot; they refused any culpability and no lawyer in town would handle a claim.

I dated an amazingly hot woman in high school who lived on a ranch by the pulp mill. Her cloths reeked so badly I had to break up with her. Sad .........and shallow.

I will say Greeley was not a bad place. Surprisingly enough you only got the feed lot smell about a handful of times a month. Never been to Oklahoma but if it’s like Kansas and just flat like an ironing board, no thanks

I lived in Greeley for 25 years. I left due to personal issues, not because of "the smell." It was prevalent back in the 70s until the Monfort feed lots, just north of town limits, closed down & moved to a new location. Feedlots are now east & south of Greeley, some distance, so I'd say smell is no longer a concern. Besides, where the Hell are you going to get your steaks?

Quick story: I was once stuck in traffic on reserve (I know, right?) and my ac was broken, so I had the window open in 100 deg temp in July. Truck in front of me had a dead cow bloated on a flatbed. I was behind this truck for over an hour. I smelled like that cow when I got home. Wife thought I was a walking dead.

Truck was headed for McDonalds.

I don't buy that Stitt is ACC material. My best friend is a huge Tarheel fan, and his friend's mom hasn't posted anything about this change on Bumble or Snapchat. If she doesn't post it on one of those, it ain't happening, pard. Period. Full stop. That's it. Have a great Thanksgiving. Are you still taking this down, Beatrice, what a pro, OK, just post it and go home. Just hit submit. Period, full stop.

If Stitt goes to North Colorado, he can help their football program return to Division 2. He has experience as a Division 2 coach that might be helpful.

what years did you work in the lab and which lab? I worked full time in the lab. Actually when the scrubbers and precipitators were down they would spew ash like material all over the place. We used to say it was the smell of money lol.

The grocery stores that grow them like everyone else gets them.
But it’s still infamous for that smell the four years I lived there I don’t know how many times people would say something about how it stinks in Greeley after finding out I lived there. But now it’s in the past and I’m living in gods country again

"The grocery stores that grow them like everyone else gets them." What does that mean? Every chain runs its own feedlot, etc.? :? What 4 yrs did you live there? As I said, the Monfort feedlot that produced most of the smell has been moved, farther away. I think this was back in the late 70s or so.

As to tepee burners in Missoula (not your point), I think they were shut down before the late 60s when I was in grad school, there.

Off topic? No, because this is about Bob Stitt's move to UNC & the question was raised why he'd want to live in Greeley.

'67-'68. I prepared and standardized all the carboy test solutions and other lab prep work for the testers. Probably some other stuff I've forgotten after 50 years. Supposed to be a 4 hour gig daily. I could get it done in an hour which left 3 hours to study. Could work anytime, usually late night, just so they never ran out. Walking through the foot of black liquor down below was always sweet.

Drove by the site last year; amazing pile of rust.

Interesting that a thread about Stitt potentially moving back to the BSC morphed nearly seamlessly into a conversation about bad smells. Coincidence? I think not.

you guys are almost as funny as a guy who lobbied to be the coach of a team, had some pals pressure the relevant administration to make it happen, then produced a worse record than his predecessor

 

[Spanky2]

The first guy you mentioned is a real coach. The predecessor, not so much.

Since this has turned into a "smells" thread, with "war stories" ...

Way back in the day ('71-'73) while I did a post-doc at the U of Alabama, my wife -- also a chemist -- worked at a paper mill upstream from Tuscaloosa. We lived on the 13th floor of married-student housing. On still evenings (high humidity, of course), you could watch the effluvium from the mill waft down the Black Warrior River, drift across the parking lot, and slowly rise to our level. By the time you were ready for bed, the apartment was pretty much filled (student housing was not renowned for tight construction). You got used to it.

I am surprised that argh has not embraced the 2018 season as he seems like a big fan of mediocrity.

He has experience as a D-I coach too. 3 full years as a winning D-I coach.

Agreed. Only a real coach can go 6-5 instead of 7-4.
