re: GG Says Georgia Better School Than LSU

You go to UGA to get a WIFE---you go to Georgia Tech to get an EDUCATION.

How do the measure the "overall academics" of a school?

They can't, and they really don't even try to do it in any valid way. So said the president of Stanford in a letter to US News and World Report when it issued its annual college rankings a few years back. His letter essentially said the rankings are bullshite and meaningless. In that year's rankings, Stanford was ranked the #1 school in the country, so he was not just complaining because of his school's ranking.

The above being said, it is entirely possible that Georgia is a better school than LSU. I don't know. But I can guarantee you that Guilbeau has no fricking clue whatsoever about it either. It's just his daily dig at LSU.

Any idiot can sit on a street corner and say a million stupid arse things. Occasionally, one of them will be true, but that does not make the idiot any smarter. It's just random chance that something he says will be right. Same is true with Guilbeau.

I seriously doubt he has the capacity to bang anybody.

My brother-in-law is from Georgia, went to Georgia, and went to business school at Georgia. I've been there often and it's fun. It's a very good school academically as well.

But so what? I think the laid back lifestyle that once resided in Athens when my brother-in-law went to school there is long over. Now it's about rich Atlanta kids blowing coke and growing mustaches in an attempt to by funny and cool. The people that go to school there are tools, straight up. I would never trade my experience at LSU because the academics aren't as highly regarded as Georgia.

LSU was great and the standards are getting tougher every year. And a gameday at LSU makes UGA look like a joke.

i grew up in Br and live in athens. the poster who attended both schools has a great perspective, obviously.

uga vs lsu academics: uga IS more selective. yes grades in GA are inflated due to hope, but that's why colleges use the sat. uga's latest entering fresh class had an AVG 2-pt sat of 1300+. that's elite. but as several pointed out it, as far as future success it basically boils to what you want to major in, and who you know vs. what school you went to.

uga vs lsu campus: very different aesthetics but both beautiful. one advantage uga has is the way they get money. the major construction projects uga has been able to finance over the last 10+ years are just unbelievable. i'm talking probably 12 large new buildings including a 'student learning center' that is huge and first class modern, a whole new set of dorms grouped as a 'village' and several new parking decks.

BR vs Athens: athens is very cool and fun and funky. BR has the excitement of a big city, a state capital and a unique, fun culture. it boils down to whether you prefer tall, leggy blondes or petite, naughty, brick-house brunettes.

as for anybody who says either BR or Athens blows, well there's always the outlier in taste. that's why porn sites have 'fat' and 'granny' options.

I could've gone to Georgia or LSU, I chose LSU. never regretted it for a second

That is probably true, but who cares what the best school for him and is daughter is? His opinion is what makes it so.

REM Automatic = weaver Ds
grilling outside = Boars head
definitely a lot of cool and unique bars/restaurants downtown ath
