re: What are LK’s greatest wins?

Revenge win over Kentucky last year
quote:

Bama has a better business school than Auburn.


They are literally tied according to US News & World Report.
quote:

The furthest place you’ve been away from Alabama is Atlanta.


Bud I've been to 49 states and 40+ countries. Believe me when I tell you you've got nothing on my experiences in life. I know Dallas so well that I could sniff the Frisco/Plano on you from 500 miles away and there's probably a dozen other major US cities I know even better.

Those are fine areas to live if you like that type of place. I'm not sure why you get so easily rattled over everything. Be you and move on.
quote:

Southlake and Plano have some serious $$$.


No doubt. It's a new money hub. The Indians love it over there nowadays.
quote:

I doubt you know shite about Dalllas.


LOL

quote:

No way someone who thinks Auburn is this national powerhouse


Whoever said that???

quote:

The Dallas suburbs such as Plano, Southlake, etc. are better than any place you’ve ever lived.


Haha. Sure. I'm not Indian. As I said, Highland Park is more my style.
quote:

My brother was accepted to Auburn within 1 week of applying and had a 2.9 GPA in high school.


That's awesome. Did he go to Auburn or take the full ride to bama??
quote:

Oh so harsh. You couldn’t afford a nice house in West Plano. ELOL.


LOL I literally pegged you without you even giving any details. I'm pretty good at that type of stuff.

I'm more of a Highland Park type, FYI
quote:

one really cares much about Auburn.


No one gives a shite about Tennessee who hasn't won an SEC Title in your lifetime.

I hope you enjoyed your night out at the Plano Chili's.
quote:

A Corolla is exponentially more reliable than a Mercedes.


Some people are just Toyota Corolla people. That's okay.

quote:

Also, go back to my superiority complex comment from this afternoon.


Sorry you got triggered by facts.
quote:

The academics are close enough.


But they really aren't. I don't think some of you Bama people realize that Bama now ranks behind UAB academically and the margin for being passed by Samford and falling to 4th in the state is razor thin.
quote:

I don’t think this is the flex you think it is. Sounds like you’re poor if anything.


Uhh. No. That's not it at all.

Think of it as like a Mercedes vs a Toyota Corolla. Both will get you where you want to go (maybe). One brand can charge a premium. The other has to sell it cheap to attract customers.
quote:

I know plenty of Auburn grads who have students in Tuscaloosa because they got more scholarship money


Absolutely. Like I said, Bama pays the better applicants to come, and Auburn mostly makes those same high profile applicants pay full price. There's enough demand for Auburn to be able to do that.
quote:

The top kids might have gone out of state to Ivy schools or some shite, who knows. It's not like there is some even distribution or anything.


Right. But in a school like VH, there's probably 550 or so kids in a graduating class. You've got about 50 kids who go to Ivy Leagues, Vandy, etc.... schools definitively more prestigious than what an instate school can offer. You've also got about 30% of kids who either don't have the grades to go to Auburn or maybe Bama.

I know for a fact there are countless kids from OTM schools to end up at Bama because they didn't get accepted to Auburn... but we'll just leave that there.

Auburn and Bama are primarily taking kids who are between the 30th and the 90th percentiles at a school like VH... so the average of these is likely going to be somewhere around the 60th percentile type of kid. That's likely a kid with a 28 ACT and a 3.8ish GPA. The more of these types of instate kids you can add, the better. And Auburn is taking 40-50% more kids from these schools each year compared to the other school across the state.
quote:

Auburn got 149 of those, which is roughly 25% of them. That's nowhere near a large majority.


I'm talking about a majority of those who chose Auburn or Alabama. Auburn took 149 students from VH and Bama took 90. That's quite a difference. Now think of that type of difference over 15 consecutive years. That's what we're talking about.

... now realize it's been about the same thing for Homewood, Spain Park, Oak Mountain, etc. and it's been happening for 15+ years.
quote:

I guess you probably don’t realize that at Cow College.

You’re irrelevant in your own state. That really has to suck.


You sound incredibly stable.

No one gives a shite that you live in Dallas. If you are a real person and not a bammer alter, you probably live in some shite suburb like Garland or Frisco and think that's somehow a flex. I promise you, you can't out quality of life me. But unlike you I have no desire to blast my personal credentials on the internet to some bitter internet troll.
quote:

Do you think every kid from said school is equal or something? How do you even know if you are taking the top kids from these schools?


If you lived in Alabama you would know the difference in attracting a large majority of the kids from Vestavia Hills compared to a large majority of kids from Minor. Every year for 15+ years. I assure you there is a big difference.
quote:

did you get that from AI or do you have an actual link to that?


Go to the website for the Alabama Commission on Higher Education. They have loads of data in their portal.
quote:

Where’s my Alma Mater, Minor High School?


For the most recent data, Minor High School sent 11 to Bama and 2 to Auburn.... see, yall got us there. Congrats.
quote:

BTW, Auburn has become dramatically more selective in a really short time. Auburn had an 85% acceptance rate in 2020 and its down to 46% for Fall 2027. In the same time, the average SAT went from 1150 to 1345!


Shhh. Pointing out facts will enrage the locals. They don't like seeing these things.

Michigan ahead of USC is just lol


Nah. Michigan has been way more consistent over the years IMO

Michigan has spent 944 weeks ranked in the AP Poll (#2 all time) while USC is at just 831 (#6 all time). That's a very wide gap.

Final AP Poll results:

Top 25 finishes: Michigan 65, USC 52
Top 10 finishes: Michigan 41, USC 29
Top 5 finishes: USC 19, Michigan 18

It's true USC has more titles, but Michigan's consistency puts them ahead in my mind.

This is good work. I honestly can't find much to argue with.
