He used the term "UAT" so I assume he is just another ITAT barner so you can't take anything he says seriously.
It's as stupid as the term "Aubarn" or "Boog U" some Bama fans like to use.

Easy way to spot TideFans posters.

It is just two ways of targeting students, again some programs are going select few, but they run the risk of offending students that traditionally would go there. I think AU is running into this. AU is not GT, but AU is becoming so selective that it is limiting engineering students to those that could have gone to GT and not taking those near misses.
AU has a 70% acceptance rate according to US News.
Stop with the delusion.

Again, Saban's winning has done some awesome things for the University. Haters gonna hate and waste 15 minutes out of their lives to write hate.
Just noticed the little arrows on the right. When did those happen? Anyway, gave myself an up arrow. Sweeeeet.

Right Saban has such a wonderful disposition. Why the hell ANYONE would send their kid to play for that arrogant,rude,pos,is beyond me. Lets see embarressing your kid in front of 90000. Such cute things as having a hidden button under his desk, so ,as he explained ,he can slam the door behind his players, just so he can intimidate them. Over recruits and pulls scholorships in a moments notice. Yep a real great guy. Yea he wins, but other coaches do too, without being a jerk.

Since when did AU become the MIT of the South? I must have missed something.......
Since people started comparing bama to us I would guess.
I mean if bama is our "competition", there is no way for us to not look really good by comparision I suppose.

Yep
I'm sorry the school you hate so much is better than yours. That must make you even angrier, if that's possible .

Oh, it's possible.
The USN&WR rankings do not even register on the annoying scale though. I posted their ranking criteria the other day. It's pretty funny.

UA has gone the appeal to the masses approach when it comes to the college, it gets numbers to go there but it waters down the degrees a lot. They are gaming the system when it comes to rejections so that it doesn't hurt them in US News rankings as much but there are a lot of UAT alumni not pleased with the way the school is heading right now.
I am an Alumni and have never heard anyone say they aren't happy with the way things are headed at the University. Our campus is as beautiful as ever, we continue to rise in academic rankings, new top notch buildings being built or upgraded everywhere. What's not to like?

Find another metric. Trey Anastasio presented a well regarded independent source which you are laughing at. If you believe the source is inaccurate, explain why and provide another.

I wonder how difficult it was for him to avoid using "SpUAT".

Do you have any proof of the increase of provisional students?
I asked the same thing a few months ago when someone (may have been rangers911) was making this same claim that Bama has been bringing in all these "provisional" students that are kept off the books. He said that he was told about it by a high school guidance councilor. Can't argue with that though it's odd that it only appears to be Auburn fans who are aware of this watering down effect of UA degrees
