LA Tech Smack Talk

Thanks!

Maybe that's because for the past 10 years you've been hiding from us?

We have blown you out of the water in every way, academics, research, sports, facilities, enrollments, funding, graduate programs. Oh and we're located in Lafayette.

Meanwhile, you're still in Ruston...

But congratulations on the win, you played well.

In your Superbowl, that is.

Academics?

Academics?

To everyone who realizes that USNEWS is not the end all be all of academia.

I have no idea why you are citing something called "web ranking". If this is supposed to be an academic ranking and LSU is ahead of Tulane and ULL is ahead of Loyola (and LaTech) then it is obviously a bs matrix. I support the Cajuns but to try and pretend that the University is something that it is not is simply delusional.

Using the USNEWS ranking to override all other rankings is tantamount to the same ____.

Thankfully, this guy gets it. It was merely jest, the crappiness of the website should have given that way.

Academics?

The only place-- and I mean the ONLY place-- that you're ahead of us is in USN&WR. And as I have pointed out elsewhere, that is probably because of "exaggerated" metrics. Either way, it won't last long, because:

Graduate programs? You're way behind us.

Research? You're way behind us.

Engineering? You're way behind us.

Sciences? You're way behind us.

Liberal Arts? You're way behind us.

Visual and Performing Arts? You're way behind us.

Library? You're way behind us.

Foundation? You're way behind us.

Carnegie? You're way behind us.

Fundraising? You're way behind us.

Enrollments? You're way behind us.

Physical plant? You're way behind us.

Let's face it.

You're way behind us.

----FUN AND DONE----I have heard Rush say that once he comments on a subject there is no more discussion----Thanks for your research and don't stay away too long---great post!!! Oh and Fun "Gallia est omnis divisa in partes tres"---As I was looking at my old Latin on the Gallic Wars it occurred to me the areas of LSU, Louisiana, and Tech----pretty much three different inhabitants!!!
