ok i'm glad you love Texas but i don't think employers are Texas fanboys like you. they view all the large state universities the same.
I don't love Texas. They are, however, one of the best state schools in the nation. Simply because of the jack.

i don't think you are providnig any evidence that their academics are better than most other large public universities. i assume you are basing this on US News rankings.

Lets clear a few things up.
There are 2 flagships for the state of Texas. Both A&M and tu are recognized as such.
Like Tillman said there are also flagships of a system. I don't think anyone is referring to that in this thread.
A&M accepts more for various reasons, 1 being the university, right or wrong, wants to grow. However, the acceptant rate is a poor way to judge the quality of a university. I would say average test scores of not top 10% or something like that would be a better metric since A&M cannot reject someone in the top 10% in Texas.
Back to some of my earlier comments. UT's big failed Houston campus.
Yes, the land was trash.
Then tu got strong-armed by UH. Seems like a perfect example of a reason not to put all your eggs in the tu basket.
We can do a little head to head comparison for athletics since that was on of the criteria.
Since A&M joined the SEC here is how A&M and tu stack up.
Football
A&M: 44-21, two ranked seasons (#5, #18), 3-2 Bowl Record, 0 losing seasons
tu: 33-30, one ranked season (#19), 1-2 Bowl Record, 3 losing seasons
Basketball
A&M: 101-67, one ranked season (#15), 2-1 NCAA Tourney Record, 0 losing seasons
tu: 91-78, zero ranked seasons, 3-3 NCAA Tourney Record, 2 losing seasons
Baseball
A&M: 184-92, two ranked seasons (#13, #8), 14-9 NCAA Tourney Record, 0 losing seasons
tu: 141-114-1, one ranked season (#4), 8-5 NCAA Tourney Record, 1 losing season
A&M with a clear advantage in all Big 3 sports. But please jump in your time machine and pick non-recent history to make you feel better.

Right. But we discussing the flagship universities of the state, they're referring to A&M and tu in Texas. Sure TTU is the flagship of the TTU system, but they aren;t in the conversation for flagship of Texas.

:42 til 3rd shift, better go press those Cintas blues seed boy.
You and Tillman are putting up one heck of a simpleton's argument, but the sampling itself and the exposure is the real comedy.
Don't forget to change back into the Wrangler slacks before you roll back to the casa.. remember, you told Momma you got that big promo a few quarters back.

not any evidence tillman lynched black people. he probably supported it.
i wud say the student union at florida counts as a main building. tillman isn't used much by most students.
you lying to yourself if you don't think there a bunch of things named after dead racists at florida. lol

again there is no such thing as a flagship of a state, unless the state has one university system and there is a designated flagship.
SC doesn't have a system. Clemson and SC and all the publics are independent.

When one thinks of the State of South Carolina
They first off think of the Low Country.
Second they think of the Gamecocks and University of South Carolina. Where the center of culture is .
I guess if one wants to watch tractor pulls and learn how to plant and consume potatoes than one may think of Clemson
Most people I have seen do not even know what state Clemson is in.

employers know where Clemson is.
i think most football fans do too.
you reveal that you aren't a college graduate b/c you view colleges like high schools. Charleston is most represented area at Clemson among students and Columbia right behind it.
most students aren't majoring in agriculture at Clemson. it offers all the traditional fields including liberal arts. you seem to be a very ignorant person.
SC"s most populated county, MSA, CSA is Greenville. Clemson is about 25 miles from Greenville. it is not rural at u making it out to be.

I understand the culture vs agriculture difference between your university and USCe
Very much like Texas A&M you attempt to manipulate the information because you wish to sound equal or better than your big brother
I know when someone wishes to become a professional in your state in most fields they either go to an out of state university or they attend USCe
Unlike A&M though Clemson is a no body in agriculture and engineering.
Your entire post is wrong even in your personal
attacks on me. I possess a graduate degree from Tulane University with my B.A. from Louisiana State

Every school uses the most favorable data to make their school look good.
In broad areas A&M is elite in engineering, ag, and vet. We have a respectable business school and are building up law & med but they have a ways to go. We also have some very elite niche areas like industrial distribution & animation (tons of Ags at Pixar).
Outside of that A&M has a very strong network, is one of the most affordable, has high starting & median salaries, and a rich military culture.

i don't think engineering employers agree with you.
you got yourself a B.A but you knew what employers think about Clemson' engineering and agriculture programs. lol
i don't think you know anything about USC or Clemson. they are both good universities. Clemson has a larger engineering college. Clemson offers more majors.
going by rankings including uS News, which is no doubt what you use to say UT is better than texas am, Clemson is higher ranked than SC.

I am not sure if you attended the university or still are or maybe not at all. If you did I am sure beforehand you had an idea of what you wanted to major in and looked at the different choices.
Maybe not but I did as I came from a family who consisted of teachers and college professors.
I wanted to major in English but in Louisiana unless you want to pay for 4 years of a private education you really only have one choice unless you want to go out of state.
If I resided in Texas as a high school senior and I wanted to major in English or in any of the other disciplines in the humanities I wouldn't choose A&M over UT or even SWT or now know as Texas St

Good for you. I am glad you attended a school that put you in position to have success in life
People on here attempt to use this platform to demean others and I am guilty of it as much as others
I have my opinions on higher education and what I find important and maybe sometimes I place my accomplishments ahead of others to satisfy my own ego. Hopefully you can see this as well with yourself. My reasoning why is because I am proud of what I have done with my life.

Right because that isn't A&M's lane and I think most Aggies are just fine with that.
