I'm not trying to be an a-hole here, but you are either incredibly stupid or incredibly delusional if you honestly believe that LSU is a better university than Tulane. Like I posted earlier, in every conceivable statistical measurement Tulane stomps a hole in LSU....especially at the undergraduate level. We can post stats and actual facts if you like, but that will make you look foolish. Do you believe that LSU is a better university than Emory or Rice because you offer more PhD programs? The idea that LSU's professors are better is also laughably ignorant. You guys need to worry about catching up with schools like Alabama and Auburn academically before you set your sights on highly selective private universities.
You are the delusional one. As an institute of higher learning and advancing knowledge the scope and size of LSU research and graduate and undergraduate programs blows away Tulane.
If you're so concerned about numbers and rankings look at who gets more federal research dollars. It's not even close. As far as facutly the fact that LSU offers Ph.D.s in political science and english while Tulane does not proves that faculty at LSU are better in a wide range of programs. You see the highest degrees and the highest levels of learning are conducted at the graduate level. A person on facutly in Political Science, English, Sociology, and Georgraphy for example is at a better program than corresponding programs at Tulane because the best faculty want to be at places that offer the highest and best degrees. A ph.d. is better than a master's. No one at Tulane who graduated with a masters is better than someone with a ph.d. from LSU.
Go ahead and look up federal research dollars. But in the end LSU as a place of learning and knowledge and education is better than Tulane if you look at the numbers that really matter (graduate programs and federal research dollars).

I am the delusional one?
Why don't you post this brilliant quote on the SEC rant:

I'd love watching the fans of every other school tell you how wrong you are. I'm the delusional one, yet you are the one trying to argue an opinion that would be contrary to what probably around 95-99% of people unaffiliated with either university would believe. I love the rant

So if we can find one single hard stat that LSU exceeds Tulane in, and I'm not even sure if this is true, that means LSU is better? Even if Tulane is bringing in significantly stronger students, has nearly twice the endowment money, probably 4-5 times the spending per student, their grads earn significantly higher salaries at beginning and midpoint of their careers, and Tulane is ranked way better in every single ranking system, LSU is better based solely on research dollars? I love it

Yes, those are the only numbers that matter. No one goes to college to earn money and the quality of the students should just be thrown out of the window
I would like you to answer this question that you ignored if we are going to continue this ridiculous argument: Do you believe that LSU is a superior academic institution than Rice, Emory, or Wake Forest? Your logic would suggest that you actually believe this...
ETA: I'm not trying to bash LSU by any means. I posted earlier that I believe you guys are underrated by US News and definitely on par with schools ranked much higher like Alabama. But I do think that this is a ridiculous argument.
