Question about stupid coots
Jul 26, 2016, 10:01 AM
|
|
Why do the coots think that USUCK is so much better academically than Clemson? They mention it all the time when speaking of recruiting. I know plenty of people that got in to USUCK but not Clemson. Also every article that comes out about a university's return on investment, it has Clemson ranked on top of of USUCK.
I have never actually lived in South Carolina so I'm not around a whole lot of coots but pretty much my entire family currently lives in SC. Obviously they are delusional, stupid, and ignorant but they have to be lying to themselves when speaking of each university's education.

Clemson considered leaving the ACC with them.

Almost left for the same reason, because the ACC imposed a qualifying standard higher than the NCAA's. It put USC & Clemson at a huge recruiting disadvantage, because our state's educational achievement levels were so low (average SAT scores were the lowest in the country) & because we had to recruit against SEC schools who weren't so encumbered.

uhhh, they know that Clemson is ranked higher

academically. I've never heard a coot say otherwise. That would be like Clemson fans saying that we are academically better than Georgia Tech. It's just not true.
Sometimes they will spout off how awesome their Graduate International Business school is, but that is about it. They rank pretty high among the 10 or so schools that offer that degree.

I honestly can't figure out how CU is ranked higher than GT on that list of best-value colleges when according to their numbers, GT is more affordable and their graduates average higher salaries.. but I'll take it nonetheless.

Inferior to a lot of schools in this state. Every notable publication in the world verifies this.
Best I hear is they claim certan programs are bether at scar than clemson
For instance, scar's law program is better than clemson's.

Use of the word " stupid " in this particular instance was superfluous. Anytime you are talking about them , just say their name and everyone will just infer the known lack of intelligence .

One thing you will never hear a freshman at Clemson say," The only reason I am here is because I couldn't get into USUC."

Like everything else, when it comes to academics, Clemson is superior to The University of Second Choice.
We all know it, but more importantly, regardless of what they say, they know it too.

This thinking is consistent with their delusion. They're also a "power" football program with a storied "tradition".

in addition to a Veterinary School, I wish Clemson would
Jul 26, 2016, 10:48 AM

expand its degree offerings by establishing a School of Journalism/Broadcast Journalism.....possibly in conjunction with degree offerings in Advertising....perhaps all these could be combined under an umbrella of an expanded School of Communications
Clemson should have initiated a Vet School long ago.
BTW....if some usuck fan tells you the junior college in Columbia is ranked higher academically than Clemson, just turn and walk away....chances are that individual is afflicted with early onset dementia and has lost any grip on reality they may have had

much like politics
Jul 26, 2016, 11:51 AM
|

you can show actual facts - in someones face - and it does not register. they will spout opinion as fact. fact: clemson is much better academically then usuck and is recognized as such. opinion: cocklovers believe, in spite of facts, that they are better academically. you see where i'm going with this..

Your question was addressed in your subject field. Trying to reason with the unreasonable is futile. Acootdemics...please. Not close.
