That's the skew, engie. You have basically cherrypicked favorable years to say "look at how much it has grown!"


I picked every single one I could find. The last 8. We've beat you on them all by at least 2.1% and up to 20%.

You call it "cherrypicking", but you can't cherrypick any form of data to dispute it.

And on the terms of research money :

I'm still calling you on it. You're like the Al fricking Gore of endowment growth. You pick out the figures that fit your model. It's circular logic, engie.


How is it circular logic? My initial argument was simple -- you wanted to complicate it -- yet you've found NOTHING to make any part of it less than 100% accurate. You are downplaying it, while providing nothing to combat the facts I posted.

You thought the numbers would tell a different story -- they didn't. Sorry. My initial argument was well-thought-out and well-executed. Making me spell it out for you has done nothing but proven that true.

And therein lies the problem.

Again, ask yourself what you're trying to prove.

ETA: Basically, engie is trying to convince us that Ole Miss' prospects for the future aren't good. I ain't buying it.
