If TexTech wins the MBB Natl Championship ...

[Fosterpark Squatter]

FWIW — Acceptance rate can be calculated in several ways.

I'm not trying to say Tech is good academically but it's definitely better than or at worse equal to UK with no metric presented giving a definite answer. I use to live near Lexington so maybe I'm biased having had to deal with their fans. If you guys had to deal with UK fans instead of only expierencing Tech ones though you would probably be more likely to agree.

I'm cheering for Tech. I like their team and I like their coach.

I'm cheering for Tech because they're Big 12.

 

[McFroggin]

I’m 100% Guns Up!

If Tech wins, good for them. Tech has received more than its share of misery and am sure their fans would be grateful.

In terms of academics being pushed more in collegiate sports and to de-emphasize the business aspect, I would be for that as well. There is a long list of schools including our own at times that could improve in this area.

Meh. Whatever. I guess it is good for the big xii but I am still bitter about how tech looked down on us when we were in the mountain west and conference USA.

 

[Farmfrog]

I’m not going to cheer them on to win but it would help the perception of the conference. I can’t cheer for anyone that 99% of their fans have a little man complex.

UK 147, TTU 189 in USNews and World Report rankings. For what that’s worth.

By the way, it is at “worst”, academically...

Just glad I won’t have to listen their BS if they do win...

We do not know any of the same people that went to tech

Ah, but I know not one here in Mississippi of the Midwest.

 

[Farmfrog]

Most of the Tech fans I know, especially the guys have the little D syndrome. They act like they’ve superior to everyone because of their school size. I have a great disdain for them.

 

[MagicFrog]

they will have the lowest Academic ranking of any school to achieve that crown since TexElPaso in 1966. (Kentucky has the next lowest Academic rank of NCAA MBB champions.)

Just puttin' it out there.

I doubt anyone outside of you and a few others who are bitter about their success will care. Just puttin' it out there.

I don't know. I've got UVA in my bracket wager with my wife. If Tech wins, I owe her dinner. So far I'm up 2 dinners (NIT & WNIT) to her 1 for the NCAAW Baylor win tonight. I do hate losing.

Tech fans are the trashiest version of trailer park trash.
Go Cavs!

And the acceptance rate is 20 points lower at tech meaning its harder to get into. If an unbiased person sees tech or uk on a resume they'll probably have an equal impression for that portion I doubt techs lower acceptance rate or uks slighlty less low usnews ranking is really going to differentiate their academic prestige in peoples minds. Not sure why you're so adamant about it are you a closet Wildcat fan or do you just really loath tech that much, also thanks for the petty grammer correction.

 

[tcudoc]

also thanks for the petty grammer correction.

It’s “pretty grammy confection.”
I assume you’re talking about your grandmother’s cakes.

I have bias about Kentucky one way or the other. I as merely pointing out something.

Your welcome for the petty correction. It’s never too late to improve one’s self.

And yea, I’ve been called out for petty errors before .

 

[Hoosierfrog]

See there was one right there! I have NO bias as far as Kentucky...
