No. I never said they weren't intelligent if they went there. I said if they were intelligent I would want them to go to A&M over a school like Arkansas. If I had a brainiac kid, his potential would be better reached at Rice than it would A&M. Rice is a better school than A&M. Both are light years ahead of Arkansas.

Sorry. If I had a star football player I would rather him play for Southern Cal than Arkansas State. Sure. He could get drafted out of either school if he was good enough, but USC is a better football team than Arkansas State. The Trojans would help him more. How the frick do you not get that? I'm not saying graduating from Arkansas makes you stupid, but I might change that if you can't figure out basic reading comprehension.

You said that aggies are smarter which is just a ridiculous comment. Maybe you meant better educated which I would still argue overall but 'smarter' is just dumb. Hell some very smart people didn't even go to or finish college. I'm pretty sure Bill Gates, etc. could out smart all of us and he never even graduated. Are you out in the real world yet? If not, your argument makes more sense.

Are you shitting me? That is EXACTLY what you said!

If they are intelligent and want to be successful, Texas A&M or Florida.


So if your kid decided to go anywhere but A&M or Florida, you would dub him/her as not being intelligent? Absolutely ridiculous.

Disagree on all counts. If you have a smart kid that is tenacious, he/she will achieve whatever they want to at any major school they go to.

I know literally dozens of people (myself included) who are doing graduate work at the top universities in the world right and/or very successful in their respected career and who also graduated from SEC schools that aren't called A&M or Florida. So how exactly would going to A&M have benefited me? What "edge" would it have given me?

Your posts wreak of insecurity and I honestly will feel really sorry for your kid(s) if you ever have them, if that is the type of mind frame you are going to emboss in your household.
