Best TV-Rejected Weatherman
Troy Kimmel
As a kid in Mississippi, Troy Kimmel feared the weather. Now he's a well-known weatherman with more than 13 years of experience teaching meteorology at UT under his umbrella. This is but one of the things that makes him one of our favorite cloud jockeys. Reportedly, a dispute back in 1997 over vacation time factored into his unfortunate release from his home in front of the green screen on Austin's local Fox 7. Too bad for them. Nowadays, you can find Troy's cheery forecasts heating the radio waves on KASE 101 or a number of other stations on the dial. This, combined with serious dedication to his students, guarantees that Troy's chaotic schedule won't even leave a 20% chance for a return to the tube anytime soon. Our prediction? He'll be enjoying his annual teaching hiatuses (i.e., summer vacations!) with no dispute, under sunny skies, for years to come!
