The 1990 UPI Coaches’ Poll Champion was undefeated Georgia Tech. Colorado, on the other hand, has never won a Coaches’ Poll National Championship.

How long has our streak of better education in the state been going on? Or starting salary?
Did you know that the average Mississippi State degree outpays U(sic)GA in starting salary? In terms of population they must be somewhere around 35-40th in the nation and still out perform U(sic)GA the “flagship” school of the 8th largest state.

UGAy is a joke. Of all of my friends whom have graduated UGAy, they are struggling to earn jobs or earning less than 40k a year in dead end jobs. No wonder they dwell in trailers. However, my fellow GT alumni are enjoying salaries between 50-90k a year with their fulltime jobs with ample room to grow. Numbers don’t lie and as a result, this truth must hurt UGAy retards. Nonetheless, this is not about us, but more towards the congratulations of people whom have managed their time wisely as an athlete and attaining a superior education.

You know deep down that with CPJ at the helm,…..you’re worried about November. Say it, admit it,……scream it out loud. Payback’s coming douchebag,….you can’t hide.

The AJC (Chip Towers)posted a similar article for UGA grads by sport or “athletes” on 5/7, and there were no cheerleaders, dancers, managers or trainers listed. The point is that these categories are not considered sports, and if they are, who won the national championship in each of them this year. Its not to take anything away from them earning a degree at Tech, but more an AJC reporting inconsistency issue. Conversely, if Tech’s support groups for athletes deserve regognition for graduating, then so should UGA’s…

Congratulations to all of this year’s graduating athletes. Your discipline, sacrifice and time management skills mark you as winners and you richly deserve the success you have achieved. I would also personally like to thank you for the pleasure you have brought us in watching you perform on behalf of the Institute.
As the newest alumna/alumnus, I wholeheartedly welcome you to the extended Tech family. Congratulations again, go forth and do great things.

What is the breakdown by race? I am sure that it reveals the social differences( money, family educational history, college preparation in primary and secondary education, etc.etc.) I am just curious especially as it relates to men’s basketball and football.

Good lord Ramble On and Delbert,
You two are a couple of damn nerds I swear. Who cares what university ranks where or about the past.
I could sit here like you geeks and brag about how my bachelor’s in CIS lead me to Atlanta to work as a Unix admin for HP. Then I could brag that my nearly six figure salary let’s my family enjoy life as my wife is a stay at home mom to our three children.
But I don’t, because this is a SPORTS blog and nobody really gives a rats arse about education on a SPORTS blog.
Congrats Tech athletes on your degrees. Unfortantely you’ve spent the past four years of your life playing in front of sparse crowds who don’t really appreciate what you do. Instead they love to brag of your “academic prowess” to put others down, validating their own pathetic existence.
Ramble On, Delbert, Stinger and the like. It must really suck to wake up in the morning being you, huh?

Jan Kemp,
Actually, this blog is why everybody laughs at the Tech fanbase, if what you have can be called a fan base. Let’s talk academics on a sports blog to show our true inferiority complex, because lord knows you’ve got nothing when it comes to the playing fields.
In a few short years Georgia State will overpower yall in football. Mark it down.

Jimmy, the only reason you don’t want to discuss academics is because you’re stupid. You can’t fix stupid now can you? No matter what you do in life you will still be just another stupid mutt. You know it which is why you’re on her trying to be disruptive. A Georgia Tech degree is far superior to any degree from UGA. Always has been and always will be. Deal with it!

Hey, this is a blog about athletes’ graduation. I posted when Georgia announced their graduating athletes, too. The person posting as “Jimmy” brought up the other football stuff. Nothing he posted provided any insight or substantial observations, other than how happy he is with his job, and that he feels inferior for some reason.
The guy who posed as a Colorado fan; well, he pointed out that Colorado had been voted a National Poll Championship in 1990 by the AP, and I pointed out that the UPI (Coaches’ Poll) voted their National Poll Champions as Georgia Tech.
The person who poster as “superDawg” had a concern as to what the BSMgt degree entailed. I gave him the answer.
Also, the guy who asked, ““Did any of the football players who played graduate? Thought so!! HA !!”” wanted information, so I looked it up and provided it.
I do a lot of research for such replies. If you don’t want to know the answer, don’t ask the question.
RAMBLE ON!!!

To sum it up….UH has twice the enrollment as GT with half the football attendance. Roughly 33K students and about 25K football game attendance, you did have your best year in decades last year though, about 40K. Nice appreciation for UH football. BHAAWHWHWHWHAHAHAHAA.
…Your future: You will be fired by your GT boss for blogging all day, an unfaithful wife, and still a douche bag.

Did Reggie Ball learn to count to 4 when he took calculus?
Oh contrare !! Oh-What Bay Bay(or whatever his name is) said when he dropped the pass on 4th down last year !!
Contrare-Redneck for wait just a damn minute !!!
I graduated from the “lowly” College of Education at UGa and passed the state board exam for Licensed Psycholgists.The exam was and still is the national test that Indusrial/Organizational graduates take and I passed that subtest with flying colors.
I’m retired with a great income and live on the Toccoa River in Fannin County.
So screw all you nerds who think you are so intellectually and academically superior.
And to GT Graduate Student-It’s who not whom.
And Jan kemp is dead.

Ramble, Delbert, the rest of you Tech nerds et al,
The fact is you geeks always bring up academics on a SPORTS blog because your athletic dept sucks. You people are boring me now. I’m out for the weekend. Good luck to you Techtards studying over the weekend to pass your citizenship exam.
Ramble, i’ll be thinking about you over the weekend as I pay my maid for the wonderful job she does. She’s an engineer like you nerds. She received her degree from Tech in Custodial engineering.

“I graduated from the “lowly” College of Education at UGa and passed the state board exam for Licensed Psycholgists.The exam was and still is the national test that Indusrial/Organizational graduates take and I passed that subtest with flying colors.”
Your resume does not include French, I’m guessing (”au contraire).
I didn’t see “Psycholgy” or “Indusrial Psycolgy” on the web site. I skated through with Introduction to Psychology, Abnormal Psychology and Psychology of Adjustment as free electives.

Engineer at Oxford

The Department of Engineering Science at Oxford is the only unified department in the UK which offers accredited courses in all the major branches of engineering – our students develop a broad view of the subject much appreciated by employers, but can also choose from a very wide range of specialist options.
Every year the Department of Engineering Science, one of the largest departments in the University, produces around 160 new engineering graduates. They go off to a huge variety of occupations – into designing cars, building roads and bridges, developing new electronic devices, manufacturing pharmaceuticals, into healthcare and aerospace, into further study for higher degrees and in many other directions. Some of our graduates also develop their managerial, financial or entrepreneurial skills, and go into commerce, financial services, or start their own companies.
We see 60 to 70 students each year take higher degrees, either MSc or DPhil by research, and since October 2006 a number take a taught MSc course in Biomedical Engineering.
We have a substantial research portfolio, including much that is directly supported by industry. In the Department there are no barriers between the different branches of engineering, and we are involved in a great deal of multi-disciplinary research collaborating with groups in other departments from Archaeology to Zoology.
This broad view of engineering, based on a scientific approach to the fundamentals, is part of the tradition that started with our foundation in 1908 – one hundred years of educating great engineers, and researching at the cutting edge!
Georgia Tech students have only been granted 3 of these scholarship, while UGA students have been grant 16.
