:mjlol:I guess Nationally both teams are irrelevant on that stage but we have a decent number of GT fans on here @Rekkapryde @staticshock @daemonova and I am probably missing a few..
When I saw Tech offense struggle against the Wolfpack at home under the lights, I look to other things. I'm glad they won.

@Silkk don't part yo lips about the INSTITUTE, the coliseum been a turnstile girl for other teams, Tech might be top 30, 35 team in the country with no solid qb play for the middle of its games.

We blasted yo ass in El paso, sent Lane begging to Saban, dont come at the INSTITUTE!

U Chicago degree is one of those things where it’s some powerful alum but no one gives a fukk unless the hiring manager or owner of the company is an alum, it’s like you paid all that money to have a good degree but a small base

Ivy education
Ivy debt
Whole lot less recognition
NOT in the business / finance world. Booth is up there with any business school recognition wise...up there with Wharton and others for sure

"The University of Chicago (UChicago) discontinued its Division I football program in 1939 because the president at the time, Robert Maynard Hutchins, believed that big-time college football was incompatible with the university's academic focus. Hutchins also disliked the idea of athletes being role models and the popularity of football on campus"

Doubtful any black athletes were a part of those teams back in those years, but it's still :mjpls: sounding

They've also been purposely avant garde (for lack of a better term) regarding their academics too. They don't have a traditional engineering school opting for a pro-theoretical, anti-applied bias. And engineering is about as applied as it gets. However, they have a school of molecular engineering but only since 2011. And they of course have a medical school b/c too much money to overlook that.

To me, just seems like pure hypocrisy to say "engineering is too scientific for our elite theoretical minds, however we'll have a full on medical school, and then we'll open an engineering school if someone provides the money for it" (Pritzker family provided funding for both the engineering and med schools)

regarding academics:

UChicago is considered "Ivy-adjacent", meaning it ranks higher than some Ivy League schools. It's also considered a Tier 1 school, along with other major private research universities like MIT, Stanford, and Johns Hopkins
Interesting I didn’t know that. I remember they used to send me pamphlets to go there but fukk that I hate the cold

you were just turning away ivy-adjacent schools huh? :duck:

"Harvard offered me a full ride but I don't like boston accents"
Um I don’t like the cold and I’ve never left Texas and I have to stay home to help my mom. I didn’t even waste the money to apply so I didn’t turn anyone down I said they sent me hella pamphlets. Also technically here in Texas you got automatically approved if you are within a certain percentage of your high school class so why leave

Some of these old head CFB players that ended up not panning out in the NFL gotta be salty af when they got a rollie or $12k to play for a school and now players are getting 7 figures.

Imagine what Peyton Manning or someone would've gotten today
Cam woulda asked Auburn for half their operating budget or shut down mid season
