Look, folks. This is simple.

Georgia Tech is an Institute...and a major research university.
Lots of other institutes of post-secondary education are also Universities. (Not all are research universities.)
Vippy-Sue is a collidge, no matter how much they might want to attach an "I" or a "U" (or both) to their name.
Athens has a pretty good remedial middle school...which doubles as a top-notch elementary school for their "student"-athletes.

Rice is an Institute isn't it?

By definition, Georgia Institute of Technology or Georgia Tech is a university. To say otherwise suggests you don't understand what a university is. We are a university because: 1) we offer multiple undergranduate programs; 2) we are a collection of various colleges; 3) we offer postgraduate degrees is multiple programs.

A university (Latin: universitas, "a whole", "a corporation") is an institution of higher (or tertiary) education and research which grants academic degrees in various subjects. Universities typically provide undergraduate education and postgraduate education.

Taken from http://www.gatech.edu/about on our website:

Located in Atlanta, Georgia, the Georgia Institute of Technology is a leading research university committed to improving the human condition through advanced science and technology.

As a leading technological university, Georgia Tech has more than 100 centers focused on interdisciplinary research that consistently contribute vital research and innovation to American government, industry, and business.

There is no doubt that Georgia Tech stands out as a distinctively different kind of university, one that is eagerly encouraging and developing the revolutionary technologies of the 21st century

It appears Mike Leach of Washington State shares Johnson's disdain for the posturing of the SEC, as well it seems as being a victim of "that can't work in this league" philosophy ... though it already clearly did. Actually the best quote is four paragraphs up but it wouldn't paste. It is a mirror to Johnson's reception.

But this one is pretty good, and he sounds and acts a lot like Johnson:

"This is a great time to be in the SEC, everybody's got the same offense: run right, run left, play-action," Leach told the newspaper. "And they tease themselves and say we threw it four more times a game this year than we did last year."

""First it becomes it won't work," Leach said. "Second, they basically say oh it's a system, suggesting that people who don't do it that way, who just run it up the middle, stick all your a***s together so one hand grenade can kill everybody, that's the right way to do it. Since they do it the right way, they're OK with the fact they lost.""

Was this the quote you were referring to? It's hilarious.

I love snobby threads.

An Institute is superior to a university. All Institutes are universities, but not all universities are institutes. An Institute implies a dedication to experience and expertise in a more limited, more highly valued ... subject matter.

I love the fact that Georgia Tech is an Institute. I am old enough to know that WGST was the old student radio station (Georgia School of Technology), but I hope Tech never changes from that.

As to the SEC .. love the football. But they got their butts kicked this year by the smart kids.

It is, and it is. Is that not a wonderful line?
