Correct (except not lisjjen). In other words, accusing flcath of just being wrong.weee wrote:I think he was accusing you of being both over and underinclusivelisjjen wrote:This is where speed reading will fuck you.

He's been just spewing hate ever since the rankings came out, so I felt it was necessary.

Re: Texas is now T14
+1. It was a stupid distinction in the first place. The difference from some "T14" schools to other schools is almost nonexistant in some cases (and there are markets, like Boston, where non T14 schools will be preffered to many of the T14 schools every year). And the difference between schools inside of the T14, such as YHS and GULC is very large.lisjjen wrote:And T14 is as terrible of a reason to go to a school as ever. It's ambiguous. It's socially constructed. It doesn't overide the actual factors that you should make your decision on and it never did.
Somebody had to say it.

I mean... Yes. But I think the question can still be answered. (Unless of course the answer is "Penn doesn't have a Big Ten football team, that's Penn State!")lisjjen wrote:Are we trolling?

The "confusing Penn, NYU, and UChi (which I forgot) for state schools" gag has been around here almost as long as the similarly knee-slapping "retake" joke, and inserting 3 capital T's in the name of a law school to mockingly assert one's low opinion of the institution's reputation.birdlaw117 wrote:Correct (except not lisjjen).

Not saying you have to laugh, but not getting the (very common, almost institutional) joke is never a good thing.

I make JoePa references every time I see my classmate who went to Penn for UG; I'm fairly confident he thinks it (and, by extension, me) is totally lame given how cliched it is.

Oh yeah... the one and only lay prestige ranking thread. I think there's only been one of those on TLS right?
Don't worry about it dude, maybe I was just off base. If you've been trolling this whole time, you need to brush up on your skillz. In return, I will brush up on my troll identification skillz

As far as trolling goes, I was deeply disappointed that UCI was not ranked this year (ideally in the new 100-150 range). THAT would have been a field day, after all the 'UCI will be top 20' threads and 'UCI is top 8' press releases.
The GULC/UT thing was kinda lame in comparison; I'm not aware of any formal statements by the dean of GULC predicting perpetual T14-ness.
