Hey Vandy fan, move on back to the rivals Vandy message board. Also, same can be said for Vandy football with what you said about UT academics. According to Dave Ramsey, private schools are poor investments. You can do whatever you want by attending a public institution. Private offers you no advantage other than bragging. Example, do you know what a person who graduates from UT's med school is called? Doctor, which is the same as a Vandy med school graduate. But, UT's is cheaper.
No we are just saying idiots like you should stay on Commodedore threads and quit proving you guys can't hang with the big dogs. Never have and never will. Stick your elitist attitude where the sun don't shine preppy boy!
Can you comprehend that?:hi:
First (to the second post here), its Commodore, don't call someone an idiot if you can't even spell the taunt you are trying to throw at someone. I won't even continue with someone who can't spell or use grammar.
Secondly, to the man trying to claim I have an allegiance to a school because I know what real education is, it's
strange that I'm called a vandy fan for saying UT is not even close in academics as vandy is. It's not an argument. And yes, remember, if we got back 100 years... vandy was dominant in football also, so once more the argument is invalid. UT was never a top academic institution and never will be, but vandy was a top football school (and has a better chance at being consistently average than UT does at being great at academics.)
But you're right, a person from UT is called a doctor if they go to med school. Same as Vandy, Same as Cumberland, same as Tech, etc.
Now guess which one the majority of the world is going to say they want as THEIR doctor? The vandy grad. It's like asking if you wanted to play with Bill Russell or J.R. Smith in basketball, both are NBA players, but one is on a whole other level.
Sorry you guys have these orange tinted glasses on so far up your asses that you can't even see the difference.
You can say private offers no advantage other than bragging, but that's a load of **** and anyone who gets into private schools know that, because the connections alone are worth the price of admission. And that's not counting the actual difference in education (which exist to the point you can't imagine probably.) As a man who has attended community college and state college in high school as well as a private university I think I have a pretty decent handle on the subject.
I grew up forty minutes from knoxville, loving tennessee. I've skipped classes and tests in college to see games in every sport (including Baseball, softball, and women's sports, something most fans don't even pretend we have.) My father was buried in tennessee gear. If they had half the education other schools offered me, I'd have went in a second, but they don't, and that is not an opinion, it is a statistical fact that several corporations will tell you about. Just because someone doesn't agree with your views about how the world works doesn't mean they are that way, especially when the vast majority of the world will disagree with you on the subject.
Now continue arguing about something ignorant and don't worry, as I won't be back in this thread where it seems we have gone from making fun of a coach at a bad football into arguing if a top 20 school in education is somehow on the same level as a sub 100 school.
Just because I acknowledge the fact Vanderbilt beats us in education, always has and always will, does not make me a fan of them. I hope they lose every game. But when I fill out my forms for medical school, guess which school is at the top of the list? And there is a reason, and that reason has not a damn thing to do with sports.
I couldnt agree more.GBO
