Is always fasinates me how much time the UGA “fans” spend on the Tech sites. Makes you wonder about their own sites doesn’t it. Maybe UGA has not progressed to having on line info yet. Not once have I ever bothered to go to a UGA site. Why would anyone bother anyway?

Engineer at Oxford – You cut and pasted all but your last paragraph from Oxford’s Department of Engineering Science web site. Those direct quotes should be in quotation marks, and attributed to the source.
According to The University of Georgia’s web site, 21 Georgia graduates have been named Rhodes Scholars; 15 from 1904 – 1973. 6 have been named 1996 -2008. Some were in the sciences, particularly biology, but the majority were in Law, economics or the liberal arts.
None were in engineering. However, Eugene Booth, Rhodes Scholar in 1934 is very famous for his work at Columbia University and his role in the Manhattan Project as a physicist. The book, “The Making of the Atomic Bomb,” for which Richard Rhodes won the Pulitzer Prize, includes Booth’s accomplishments in some detail. It’s a great book, over a thousand pages including bibliography and attributions. I highly recommend it to everyone.

Two engineers on the whole football team
Blah ha ha ha aha ahahahahahah
One in civil engineer and the other an agricultural engineer
What a tough institute
Just as I thought the Tech football gives diplomas just like everyone else
Where are the real engineers you know Electrical, Nuclear, Structural, Mechanical, Aerospace, Computer etc
If Tech was a premier academic program why are most of its athletes in Business and not ENGINEERING
Oh whats funny out of the 16 football graduates 12 got a business management degree thats funny not engineering. I guess the business school is where they give diplomas at Tech

Agricultural Engineering? Only Georgia offers that.
FYI, here are the majors for returning Ga. Tech Lettermen for 2010:
GT 2010 Upperclassmen Lettermen:
Chandler Anderson, JR starting P: Biology
Anthony Barnes, SR starting LB: Management
Austin Barrick, SR starting OL: Management
Sean Bedford, SR starting center: Aerospace Engineering (1st Team All-ACC)
Scott Blair, SR starting K: Computer/Electrical Engineering
Mario Butler, SR starting CB: Management
Nick Claytor, JR, starting OL(5 starts): not updated*
Kevin Cone, SR, starting WR (3 starts): Mechanical Engineering
Lucas Cox, SR starting A-back, now B-back: Management
Correy Earls, SR starting WR: Management
Mario Edwards, SR starting DB: History, Science, and Technology (VT XFER)
Anthony Egbuniwe, SR starting DE: Management
Robert Hall, SR starting DE: Civil Engineering
Brad Jefferson, JR starting LB: not updated*
Roddy Jones, JR starting A-back: not updated (2008 & 2009 All-ACC Academic team)*
Joshua Nesbitt, SR starting QB: Management
Dominique Reese, SR starting DB: Management
Osahon Tongo, SR letterman DE: Management
Logan Walls, JR starting DT: not updated (2009 All-ACC Academic team)*
*Tech’s player bios haven’t been updated for 2010, so four juniors in 2010 don’t have majors listed yet (Roddy Jones*,starting A-back, Logan Walls*, starting DT, Nick Claytor, OL, 5 starts; Brad Jefferson, starting LB, are the four).
I have the list of majors for Georgia returning lettermen, and I have posted it on Georgia-oriented blogs, but it is not relevant here.

SmalljCox how many Pre-Med and Pre-Law football players do the Dawgs have on the football team? I know I saw at least 10 UGA players studying to get in the Vet School. By Vet school I mean chasing fat fake blonde Soroity chicks in trying to give them a personal physical ie Mettenburger.

CochjCox call me names call Tech names. HOW many of your BLACK(2679 students) are taking Hard Majors? C. King went to GAC for Football and L. Bennets money. C. King couldn’t pass classes at GAC for his whole High School Career. UGA don’t want FSU or Miami in the SEC. UGA would never get another Black Football player. Why go to Athens and be stupid, when you can go South, play ball, meet people that look just like you, and be Stupid?

They don’t talk on the blogs until Football really starts. I wish CUZ would let us know how Baylie is doing and 45 needs to tell me what time the Cookout is this coming weekend. I will wear my TECH STUFF and bring MUCHO Jack if he has the ICE. HAHAHAH

DelbertD,
I think the Rhodes Schoarship Commitee was just pointing out that the ACC did not seem to that much stronger accademiclly than the SEC, and that GT when compared to other schools did not produce much with all that talent..It seems that most of the Tech fans want to talk about accademics instead of results on the football field.
I think that most people who choose not to study math, just think math is boring and that unless you want to be an engineer or math teacher, anything beyond algebra is a waste of time. Therefore, scoring high on the math portion of the SAT does not really indicate inteligence, just interest.
(I know Tech students are smart, but I think most students at all colleges are smart.)

Just Thinking Please Look at the offers for RHODE Scholars. What type of degrees and #s of Degrees are offered? Many of the Rhode Scholarships offered are not in degrees Tech Offers. Tech students compete with fewer schools for fewer degrees. More student compete for more degrees from Rhodes in the History, Lit, and PolySi field. Hell an FSU football player got a shot at and completed his Rhodes Scholarship. I wish more Tech students would get a Rhodes Scholarship but I Don’t think that makes TECH less important in the Technological Fields. That is just me and my opinion.

Did you read about the English corp. that just made the longest KILL SHOT? He was a mile and 1/2 away. It took 3 sec. for the bullet to hit it’s mark. He KILLED 2 DESERT RATS and their Machinegun with 3 shots. He aimed 2 ft. high and 18″ left to kill the RAGHEADS. I bet he didn’t know math but his Spotter and the sight maker knew som math. Elevation, Wind, and Velocity all factored into those KILL SHOTS from a MILE AND A HALF. Your so richt you don’t need math or understanding of electricity to LIVE, but being stupid of them could cost you your life.

Hey superDawg. Hate to correct you, but your private lake is by definition actually a cesspool. I sent my daughter to Georgia Tech to get a quality education. That way I can focus on being UGAy again, and again, and again…I own you! I could point out that you are a loser, but you have likely been told that more than once.

POAD, If Georgia Tech was such a great school like MIT, they would still be able to get the RHODES SCHOLARSHIP and if the ACC was so much better academically they would too. Only three schools from the ACC have had more RHODES SCHOLARSHIPS than UGA. I am not saying take Georgia Tech and the colleges in the ACC are not good, but these people who are always writing about how tough the academics are at Tech and the ACC are fooling themselves. Besides very few of the Tech football players are getting engineering degrees. Then Tech want to boast about the management school, yet they don,t produce the Rhodes Scholars.

Buzz, I got a degree from UGA in Psychology (pretty easy degree compaired to an engineering degree.) And yes, I started out my first after graduating making 30K, while the average Tech grad starts out at 60K and gets a 3% raise the rest of his life. However, after five years I was the salesmanager for my comapany making over 100K and a company car,phone, expense account etc.. But perhapse the most rewarding part of the job is going down to the engineering department at 11:55 am and telling the Georgia Tech graduates that they will have to take lunch late and change some lay-out drawing for me, while I take customers to lunch (and a few beers). “We need them finished before we come back, sorry.”

I would like to point one thing out that is glaring and hilarious in this thread. Note how ONLY UGA graduates feel the need to post their salaries and lifestyles. We get it pups, 1 out of every 1000 of you will do well financially as a result of making good financial decisions in combination with some good fortune, which is the same as with graduates from most schools. Nothing about UGA sets you up to have better odds.
When I was interviewing for medical schools 5 years ago, one interviewer told me, “You have a 3.## at GT?? Don’t even worry about it, that’s better than most 4.0’s at UGA”. That is how the two degrees are viewed by those in the highest echelon of education.

Apparently we do not put that much stock into your degree as compared to other Universities. Are you saying Oxford is not the highest echelon of education.

It is the Tech fans who are always posting about their 60K average starting salary. It is the Tech fans who are always saying that UGA graduate flip hamburgers and work at BP. To say that ONLY UGA fan write about their salary, IS JUST A LIE. Now look in the mirror and think to yourself.
