Here's something describing this year's freshman class as the second-largest in the history of the state. I'm not sure what's first or what 2011's numbers were.

My point is that your "student gap" argument is dumb.
quote:
Where did I claim it was linear?
Your entire damn argument (taking the past few years and using that as a model to project the future) relies on the assumption that these changes are both constant and consistent, therefore linear.

I simply said that we've outpaced you for 8 years in a row on "percent growth"(even provided links proving it) -- by an average of 5-8%/yr. "Probably not"? Give me some -- ANY -- reason to think otherwise...based on every bit of empirical data we have at our disposal?
I wasn't disputing that, engie. This is what you don't get.
Your argument is simple: State is growing and improving in a way that Ole Miss cannot or will not be able to match. Essentially, "SCHTAYYTE SCTACKED AND OLD PISS frickT!!!1" My argument is that such a belief is ridiculous.
quote:
Either we are contributing more money to our endowment funds every single year than you are -- or we have been superior investors every single year that I can find. Which conclusion do you prefer?
Superior investors perhaps? If investing in less volatile assets makes one "better" then have at it. Also, where have I disputed that State hasn't done a good job of raising money? I have said as much several times. Why you somehow still haven't seen that I don't know.

And my argument is that for 8 years now(at least), we've dominated you financially. 4 more years at the same pace and our endowments are equal.
But of course, Olllllll MIsssss gonna fix this!!11!1 Can't be having rich leghumpers!!1!

How can the leghumpers at the cow college be superior investors to the rich folks in Oxford? Shirley you jest.
"Less volatile"? Seriously? Less volatility = smaller risk, smaller reward. If this was true, it would mean State was invested in more volatile assets, correct? Then how do you explain us taking 15% LESS of a hit when the market crashed? Surely you aren't implying that we are THAT MUCH better investors than you are?
