[QUOTE="Bruce Wayne, post: 149539, member: 231"] I did not go to Tech . . . but what I don't get is Tech fans who [I]refrain [/I]from tearing down SEC and other football factory programs that make use of young men for their athletic gifts while [I]intentionally [/I]failing to provide them with a decent education and meaningful degree. It is odd to me since Tech is probably the institution of higher education [I]most distinctly not like that [/I]as can be found at the BCS level. It is a legitimate point of pride that Tech fans should have when they compare their schools athletic programs to those of many or most other programs. Especially those in the SEC. It is also one of the most important selling points for Tech to potential recruits and their parents. When selling oneself why would one ever dwell on anything they think makes them seem like the competition? You start with what makes you most [I]distinctive [/I]and attractive first and foremost. The whole point is to differentiate yourself. And, yes, the University of Alabama is a pretty darn mediocre university. Just because it is a "huge state school" does not mean it automatically deserves anything beyond moderate [I]local [/I]respect. [/QUOTE]
