I’ve seen the infrastructure of New Orleans. LSU does NOT have a good engineering program.

Are you including tips for Auburn?

I tip pretty well when I'm ordering delivery or eating out. I bet it adds up.

First of all, that’s a textbook non-sequitur.
You decide to draw a curve through those 2 completely unrelated conjectures?

Where did you go to school again?

If Vandy is no. 2, athletic brand is not factored enough historically speaking.

Vandy is number 1 in every other category. And their current athletic department isn’t bad.

Naw, I just assumed you’d forgotten to factor that metric in the career outcome data.


Thanks to our high academic standing, we can afford to pay those speeding tickets.

We don’t recruit from Georgia though…terrible engineering school


You have a point. Georgia is ranked #92 in the country in Engineering schools.

Of course, LSU is ranked #106, sooooo

I guess you were lucky you got hired?

Most of the metrics seemed slanted towards academics. That said, and i could be wrong, but it seems like Vanderbilt (except for football) has always had middle of the road athletics. Baseball and basketball at least. Not great by any measure, but not horrible, either. That said, I am old and might not be remembering well.

Again...LSU is ranked #106 as an Engineering school and Georgia is ranked #92. You said Georgia was a horrible engineering school, so you don't hire from there. Where did you get your Engineering degree from, and if it was from LSU how did you get hired? Also, are you still going to argue that LSU is a better Engineering school than Georgia?
