Auburn has an 80 percent acceptance rate. And is a backup school for kids that can’t get into UGA.
Whatever makes you feel good about yourself. If only UGA could compete after graduating. It’s all about earning potential and UGA grads don’t even come close to Auburn grads. Since you got that great Georgia education you don’t do math well, huh.

I wonder what the instate UGA acceptance or admissions rate was prior to the Hope scholarship.[/quote]
I don't have the stats but I asked a lady in the first building to the right just past the arch to change a dollar for the parking meter and she handed me 75 cents and a diploma....
Baddumpbump...
UGA has certainly become far more serious academically in the 30 years or so since HOPE has existed. Some folks would say it destroyed UGA...going from a party school which it had indeed been named party school of the year many times prior to '93 and seldom since.

UGA has about 2500 engineering students...ATM, Auburn and UF all have 3-8 times that. Engineers make a good living...and are worked like mules. Working 7 days a week 12 hours a day and earning $150K is a fools game...a skilled tradesman can do as well without any debt and a helluva benefit package.

On all seriousness, I was thinking about something similar just the other day and concluded that A&M and Florida are most alike- and very different from so many of these redneck schhools (they know who they are).
I was thinking that Georgia is a tweener. it has decent academics but prob more than its share of the southern redneck.
A&M’s rednecks are of a different type than the southern rednecks. Our rednecks are the kind we’re proud of. i better not elaborate anymore.
Suffice to say ranchhand and oilfield hands vs backwoods hillbillies.
ATM is in Texas where you can not sling a dead cat and not hit a Texan...that in and of itself means it would be viewed as comic relief to anyone in the industrialized world. No one outside of Texas takes Texas seriously and have never been worse the wear for it. Texans will not accept it but they are the laughing stock of the rest of the world and as we speak being invaded by folks who will make Austen the norm from Texarkana to El Paso...

Not an accurate list.

According to the list posted previously in this thread we make the same right out of college. Except we get to have professions where we work in air conditioned offices. Auburn grads, on the other hand, have to work in barns.

We can all agree Tennessee fans are reprobate hillbillies. But the State of Tennessee is a different story. It is a State on par with Florida when it comes to class, culture and wealth. The mountains, lakes, white water, valleys and history, in addition to 5 major metro municipalities and 3-4 minor ones that facilitate employment, medical, and entertainment opportunities, make Tennessee a cut above the rest.
What is a metro area in Tennesse??? Nashvile? BAHAHAHAHA. Metro Atlanta has almost exactly the same population as the entirety of Tennessee...

Georgia is literally no different than Louisiana, Alabama, and Mississippi. The only thing your state has going for you is Atlanta. Outside of that Georgia is a third world shithole just like Alabama and Louisianan
LOL...Yes. Atlanta, the only regional metro area in the SE, and the capital of Georgia, does indeed make Georgia different than the rest of the south. Memphis and New Orleans had their day but that day ended shortly after WW2. As Boomers die off Miami, never a regional metro area like Atlanta is, will see a severe decline in population and associated decline in importance outside of tourism...Atlanta not only makes Georgia unique amongst southern states every other state outside of Texas in the south is home to more people and better paying careers because of Atlanta. It is the capital of the empire state of the south and has been since reconstruction...like it or not if you live in the south chances are good that almost everything you buy and own came to you through some institution in Atlanta...from the finances, building, transportation and sale.

You could your hand up a bull’s arse to get a good look at a T-bone, but wouldn’t you rather take the Auburn grads word for it.

Georgia will never have the economic power that Texas has. And Atlanta is not on the level of Austin when it comes to the tech industry. We have a much more diverse economy than your state does

As you would know if you had read my post and not gotten your drawers in a bunch I wrote that Texas was not included. Yes, Texas is the same to the plains and mountain states that Georgia is to the SE. What texas is not is the south culturally...it is more akin to the midwest with the exception of Houston. Houston is a nice bridge between the south and the midwest and sw culture of the rest of Texas...

I'm not how we're "better" than the excluded fan bases.

Comparing Texas culture to Midwest Culture is always an ignorant take.
Houston is not a bridge to much. It is a big, jumbled, immigrant packed industrial town that benefitted from being on top of the origins of the global oil industry.
East Texas could be considered a bridge, but not Houston. Some of the smaller border towns, the Piney Woods zone, and even places like Tyler or Longview have more distinctly southern traditions and attitudes.
Most of Texas on the other side of Dallas has a Southwestern or Western feel. Arizona and New Mexico especially have much more in common with the very rural and undeveloped swaths of West Texas.
South Texas is pretty unique given the border and the heavily Hispanic population.
North Texas is also its own animal. It is too loud and spendy and new money and full of S%^t for any midwestern community to find kinship.
