had him for CHEM 1301 my freshman year, amazing Prof and my favorite all time.
Probably second only to Pres Khator on rebuilding Cougar pride back on campus.

Very sad to hear this. I did not take a class from him, but I did interact with him quite a few times.

Had to look up when he left UH. I didn’t have any classes from him but his impact was noticable.

“Of course, I’ll probably yell so loudly over there that you’ll hear me here when we beat Oklahoma and then get into the Big 12,” Bott said.
Legend.

Oh wow what a great man. I can’t count how many UH dvd’s I purchased from him of the legendary Phi Slamma Jama & Run & Shoot squads.

As far as I’m concerned, Simon Bott belongs in the UH HOF. The honor shouldn’t be the exclusive domain of athletes and sports personalities
There should be an avenue where outstanding fans, donors, professors and individuals could be honored rather than having them drift into the pages of history and anonymity where future generations have little or no knowledge of their significant contributions.
