i go to Tennessee. but i was very close to going to auburn. i also have a lot of friends that go to bama, so i probably would have enjoyed that school as well. with that being said, im glad i chose to come to UT.

Actually it's very likely I'll try to get into UGA for their graduate program...it'd be a nice place to get a master's in microbiology before going off somewhere even better for a phD

Which other SEC schools besides your alma mater do you think you would have enjoyed attending during your undergrad years and why?


I went to state and loved it. So since it sucks so incredibly bad there according to you guys, I would have attended any SEC school and probably enjoyed it. I mean shite, it's college. I was very close to going to Pepperdine and then went juco route to play baseball first. Wish I had gone through with it.

I'm about to graduate from Tennessee. I would have liked to have gone to LSU. My sister and Bro-in-law both went there. The only thing that swayed my attention was out of state tuition. Tenn has the HOPE lottery that was too good to pass up.

Ole Miss was on my list but all of my friends that couldn't get accepted into Tennessee went there so it was a no brainer for me after that

Probably Bama since a lot of family and friends went there and I grew up a Bama fan.

Edit: I did go to Bama for law school (a long arse time ago), but had a great time in Tuscaloosa for 3 years.

I almost went to FSU (had a room mate and everything) , and ended up attending Tulane for a couple of years.

To answer the question I guess I would say Vandy, GAg or Bama, because they are academically better.

Thank God I ended a Florida Grad.

I went to Bama for undergrad and did some grad work at Ole Miss. I'm a Bama fan, but Oxford was an amazing place to live. I wouldn't recommend it to undergrads unless you are positive you want to be greek though. It's an awesome place for grad students though.

Damn, parkjas2011! I may have to cut you some slack for that one. That could not have been easy to admit. Good job.

I loved AU's campus. cool college town (more of a college town that tusc, imho). hot girls. good parties always on the ready.

However, field of study mattered and i could not bring myself to even apply at AU.

I almost went to Ole Miss as an UG; had a full ride to go play in their band. (Yes I was a band nerd)

I seriously looked at BAMA for Law School, but I wanted to keep my kids closer to mine and the wife's folks.

I got into Vandy and Alabama but chose Ole Miss because it was close to home and cheap.

Graduating in a few months from Arky, contemplating Grad school at Bama or LSU... It will probably be Bama.

I would have enjoyed Ole Miss or Vandy.

I would have hated having to attend Tennesee or Georgia.

SEC schools besides your alma mater you would have chosen to attend and why?

I'd say LSU because they're my favorite team to hate. The biggest reason being I can be my true alcoholic self because God knows every other Cajun is


Really? I did not know that. So every one of the millions of Americans of French Acadian descent living across the nation is an alchohic.

Wow, you must have had an expert marketing demographic research staff and a huge budget to locate every French Acadian American living all over the country to inquire about their drinking and spending habits, etc, AA memberships, DWIs, etc.

Did your corporation fund a similar study of redneck alcoholics?, or the number of Mobile residents who love their purple drank?

BTW, contrary to what the rest of the ignorant universe thinks, less than 1/10 of Louisiana residents are of French Acadian ancestry. It is probably even a smaller ratio on the campus of Louisiana State.

Sorry for the double post... but I visited Bama on my way down to Spring Break. That Campus is BEAUTIFUL and intimidating to outsiders. The way every building looks somewhat the same, the gold engraved logo at certain intersections, the huge columns on the stadium, its amazing.
