Hay look folks, I’ve got cousins, aunts, uncles, brothers, that went to differant schools. Its hard for most people to understand but I love Ga. Tech and UGA.The tech. people call me a undercover bulldog. The Ga. people call me a fair weather fan. But I gotta tell ya. if you go to visit the facilities at the schools you’re gonna see a big differance in Tech and UGA. Ga. has alot of money in the BUTTS-Maeir bldg. The same type building at Tech is no comparison. I guess Tech just doesn’t get the financial help as UGA does.

Good job keeping the football players out of the police blotter this year too, Florida man! What fine representatives of such an “actual” university. Once again, SEC fans are happy to trash everyone else but when the truth is pointed out about the low standards of their schools or should I say football programs that masquerade as such, they become defensive instead of the usual brash ignorance. You should be embarrased at the mockery of higher education that the SEC is.

Florida is as on par with UNC or GT? Hhahahahahahahahahaha! What have you been smoking? Not even in the same league. You must be the worst admissions officer ever, or the best maybe if I were some mediocre student trying to get into school…

An “Actual” College Graduate—-Speaking as someone who has “actually” earned more than one university degree (two of which are from Florida, one from UVa), who has “actually” worked in university administration and understands the way academic professionals “actually” evaluate universities, and who has “actually” conducted job interviews of young graduate students from all of the ACC and SEC schools, I can say with some authority that you actually have no clue about what you speak.

If you want a quick education, run Wikipedia and Google searches on “AAU,” “ARWU,” and Webometrics Rankings of World Universities. The University of Florida surpasses three-quarters of the ACC schools. Moreover, Florida’s undergraduate admissions standards are more difficult than 7of 12 ACC schools (CU, FSU, Maryland, Miami, NCSU, VT are nobody’s Ivy League alternatives), and Florida’s standards are comparable to those of UNC and Georgia Tech. Only BC, UVa, and Wake Forest have marginally more difficult admissions standards (and Florida is nine times the size of Wake Forest, almost four times the size of BC, and over twice the size of UVa).

There’s no fool like a damn fool, and you’re apparently one of the latter. As an alumnus of the University of Florida, I don’t need to be “defensive” about my alma mater, but I am surely not going to let your ignorance pass for truth.

Catch a clue, Snarky. Sarcasm is not the answer. One day, with some maturity, you may eventually learn that there is more to life than mocking that which you fail to understand.

BTW, I am not your “bro.” Most adults prefer not to be addressed as such, but I suspect you’ll learn that in future job interview and evaluation.

Hahahaha! I love it when SEC fans act defensive when someone actually “snarks” back. As usual, ya’ll can dish it out but can’t take it. Nobody cheats more than the SEC and if ya’ll were give the same treatment SMU was given 30 years ago, half the conference would be without football. Every single one of you would sell half your academic departments and professional schools down the river to win a BCS game and it is proven everyday by your academic v athletic accomplishments. That is why ya’ll will always be a joke no matter how many MNCs you win. No amount of money buys class, so enjoy your newfound riches for once again you represent everything that is wrong in college athletics. This despite Tebow, who seems to be a flower floating on a stinking sewage pond of excess. Every other conference has top notch major public universities like Michigan, UCLA, Texas, Cal, UNC, UVA and GT. The SEC has………Florida? HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Georgia? Even better! Forget the private schools, cause Vandy ain’t Stanford or Duke but it still is a good school. Love the Florida argument that volume of research makes quality though. This isn’t used cars bro, it’s about education. I appreciate the attempt however. Have your TV contract, I would rather have a degree worth the paper it was printed on.

ACC by the numbers
1. 6 and 6 vs the SEC in 2008 (50% of ACC victores over Vandy& Miss.St.)

That may be so, but the rest of the ACC wins were over South Carolina, Georgia & Ole Miss. And that Ole Miss team beat Florida & Texas Tech, so you can’t go snarking about Ole Miss being a “second-tier” team in the SEC…

BTW, Mr. Know-it-all, one uses the subjunctive tense, not the past tense, when one is making a conditional statement (i.e. “If I were from Alabama or Mississippi . . .”).

“An Actual College Graduate”—-Thank you for your snarky comment, clearly based in either ignorance or intentional denial.

Writing on behalf of my alma mater, the University of Florida, I can assure you that there are several universities in the SEC which successfully combine academics and athletics. Florida is one of them—it is one of the 3 largest universities in the country, it has one of the three most comprehensive offerings of degree programs, consistently has among the 10 most National Merit scholars, is a member of the American Association of Universities (the premier grouping of North American research universities), and it’s ranked among the top 50 universities in the world on the basis of the volume and quality of its scholarly research and output.

Moreover, my school’s football team can drop-kick your school’s football team into next year . . . any questions, smart guy?
