That's cause it only takes an ACT score of 18 to enroll. Lots of dumb kids have no choice, they cant get in anywhere else.


Some kids simply aren't great at standardized exams, but are perfectly capable of doing college work.

Texas and Florida are going the opposite route, trying to maintain or raise their status as public elites or public Ivies. Tennessee raised its standards considerably over the years. Georgia was always strong, and of course Vandy is in the highest tier.

Organic Chemistry is the same at Ole Miss as it is at Harvard, but the bigger names definitely give you an advantage when you're trying to land jobs at major firms.

That’s because we’ve lowered the standards for college students where you can get a 3.0 gpa just for being literate.

Freshman class average SAT is 1130. All of these gorgeous girls, spending so much time and effort to look their best, all to impress a group of guys that are functionally retarded.

I have a son who graduated from a US News Top 5 school. I have another son who graduated from a Public university in the US News overall Top 40. They took some similar classes. The content is not the same in complexity or depth in those 2 schools. I can't even begin to imagine the difference at Ole Miss. Your worhtless okie arse needs to shut the frick up when it comes to things you know nothing about.

My daughter and her husband are both college professors. For some of their freshmen students, they are literally doing remedial classes. They have kids that cannot write a complete sentence. Forget Algebra. It's terribly sad.

And she was an SEC athlete. She said a lot of the males in the major sports were basically troglodytes. If SEC schools didn't spend a ton of money on tutoring, they'd never maintain eligibility.

Being rude and acting like a savage isn't a sign of intelligence. Just saying...

And besides that, you're wrong. The difference between Yale and Ole Miss is Yale has a lot of professors that win big international awards. But guess what? Most students never see those professors, because they don't teach survey courses.

Everything you say on this topic proves you have no idea what you are talking about. Please stop. I know you don't like the idea of some universities being superior to others, because OU is an academic clown show, but your lies don't impact the truth.

I never said some universities weren't superior to others, but I'm completely correct about everything else. I know how it works, because I'm close to it.

I'm guessing you don't have children that graduated from those schools, because you don't write like a person that's old enough to have college grads as children.

I went to great schools, btw.

It's funny, but there hasn't been much back and forth between Texas and Oklahoma this year. Probably because you guys are both new and are busy dodging bullets from the other SEC schools. This feels more normal.


Sorry, just a comment, by all means continue.


I think you were just saying something about his mama.

Ole Miss gets all of the retards from Texas and Georgia who can’t get into UT or UGA. They literally don’t turn anyone away.

it hurts them academic ranking wise. Bama has dropped in rankings since they started chasing OOS kids


Why would this be any significant ranking metric? Do you really think the quality of students have gotten worse over the years while bama has dropped in rankings?

Mr. Grits, we're on the same page as usual.

When I read that subject, my mind immediately went to Ole Miss sorority girls "exploding," IYKWIM.

Ole Miss has a nice compact campus in a very safe town relative to a lot of SEC campuses. It’s an active but closely monitored night life and the Greek system is still decent. It is viewed as the higher class of all the three major universities in MS even though MS state has several programs that are more respected.

It’s a great destination for the SEC college experience.


But the Alumni are extremely pretentious, the prevailing culture is basically pimento cheese sandwiches and chicken on a stick and all the southern old south charm has been whittled away but liberal professors and woke leadership. Ole Miss hasn’t been cool since they quit playing Dixie in the grove.


frick them all with a bag of scabby crab infested dicks.

Ole Miss does seem to be building hype.

Alabama is now 70 percent out of state

Bama has been chasing the short term dollar on the coat tails of the football and sorority/tik Tok success. Problem is most of those OOS kids are the dumb trust fund babies from up north who couldn’t get into an ACC school (let alone anything Ivy League) so they come South to cosplay southerner for 4 years of college Disney world before returning home to work for daddy’s company/firm, rarely to return.

They still get a decent portion of kids from metro ATL but increasingly those same kids are the transplants to the area with no real reason to stick around the South unless it’s back in ATL, Charlotte, Nashville, or Houston/Dallas.

TLDR - They get OOS tuition dollars up front but their alumni pool isn’t sticking around to work in the state and they have little reason to donate once they leave (same issue Ga Tech is having right now)

As long as the majority of the state supports Bama they will never have GT's problem.
