This new Frazod sucks...

I want the mean, rude, pissed off guy that just got round house kicked to the ballsack by chuck norris back!

I'm not trying to knock Florida; it's a fine university and certainly one of the better institutions in the SEC, but it isn't on the same level as Texas. Academically, Florida is similar to KU and MU.

TX is one of the better public universities in the country. Here I'm talking almost exclusively about graduate programs, since most public universities' undergraduate programs are comparable. Academically, TX best compares to the likes of Michigan, Ohio State, etc.

Yup.

I dunno why, but for some reason I had it in my head that Deaton and Alden wouldn't **** this up. That it was all a smokescreen and they had a genius master plan in the works.

I have no earthly idea what, in their entire history with this program, led me to believe that was likely. I don't know why I didn't just assume that they were as clueless and out of the loop as they've ever been. I don't know why I didn't just realize that all of this was going on while they sat in the corner with their heads buried. I don't know why I believed the stupid looks on their faces were calculated, rather than the vacant stare of a reerun baby.

No, they're as worthless as they've ever been.

**** me.

Disagree. While Florida is not on par with Michigan, some of the California schools or UNC, it is an elite public university.

Can someone post the mega conferences for me again.

There was smoke, and the MU folks mistook it for fire.

Yes, because academics are the driving force behind any of this.

BTW, welcome back MU.

Again, I'm primarily talking graduate programs. On that list: Oklahoma, Auburn, Florida State...way too high.

But this gets back to my initial point, I don't think the level of education that a student receives at the undergraduate level is noticeably different once you get past the elite-tier universities in this country (Yale, Stanford, Cal-Berk, etc.) Florida, Kansas, Ohio State, Wisconsin...all about the same.

Graduate programs? Now we get major differences.

What page is that goddamm conference aligment on....

**** sorting to find this is pain in the ass.

Driving force? No. Major consideration? Yes.

If you think Nebraska isn't jumping at the chance of moving to the Big 10 largely because of academic reasons, you're mistaken.

Florida does have some outstanding graduate programs. Their school of Law and Business continually fluctuates. However, Florida has strong Engineering and Medical schools. Is Texas better? In some areas, yes. However, Florida is an elite public university both scholastically and athletically.

Just look at their admission criteria compared to most other public universities.

Who gives a shit, dumbass? It doesn't mean anything.

In short, they're AWESOME1111elevENty!!!!!!!!!pissmypants111111111111!!!!!!!!

And folks at Kansas or Missouri could make much the same argument. Look, you went there, you're proud of your institution, and you should be.

Is it a solid school? Of course. But I do not consider it "elite."
