in actuality both schools are great academic schools, neither is really much better.

Pretty much. Never understood the pissing matches between the two fanbases on this, but that's what a rivalry gets you. Both have good programs, and both have joke programs. Both have very successful alums, and both have failure alums. Big deal.

Full disclosure, both accepted me in the early 90's and I didn't have that great of a high school resume. 2.4 GPA, 25 ACT, though I did get a 31 on the math portion.
