We crushed their faces!". It's traditions like that that make UGA such a fun school to attend... not walking under the arch, wondering where the hell the chapel bell actually went (rumor around school is that GT people took it after we beat them one year). It does however make the school better.. each year, they turn down more people than they accept... we're not hurting to make our numbers or anything. In order to do that, we do have to keep our academic standards up to par. People come to UGA because there is a wide variety of majors, and in each major, they get a damn good education. The quality of our Ancient Art History program is just as good as our pre-med program. Sure there's some areas that can be improved, but every school has that. It's because of traditions around the school that we get so much attention, as well as because of our football team, which year after year is a considerable force to be reckoned with. Sure Tech won a national championship more recently, but look at the schools Tech plays as opposed to the schools UGA plays.. we get better teams because we're a bigger school, and to be honest, a better team. Those big games are broadcast on national television, and so someone in Colorado might be skimming across the channels one Saturday and see a stadium full of red and black, cheering fans, and say "what the hell?" and watch the game. Looks like they're having fun, the person thinks, and looks up UGA online. Then sees all of our academic programs that we have, all the club sports and clubs, and think "wow.. that looks like a great school!" and now we have one more freshman from Denver, CO. We're more than a drinking team with a football problem, sir.
and YOU'RE right, uga does offer a variety of majors, but lemme ask YOU, ever heard the saying "jack of all trades, master of none"?
and i do go after other teams, but i tend to hate on uga more since their fans are stupid obnoxious and always in other ppls faces about how great them "dawgs" are, not to mention i find it slightly retarded to bleed the red and black when you are absolutely ignorant when it comes to anything else related to the school.
and of course uga isn't hurting for students, i would expect nothing less when the standards are lowered
btw, YOU'VE already touched on the wide variety of majors, running out of items from YOUR "why uga is great" book? oh shit, please don't get into a who has a better strength of schedule thing w/me, i'm just not in the mood to discuss why the sec has more nutswingers than QD on here. and wtf do ppl in colorado have to do with this? leave them out of it, no need to make them look like retarded hicks ok?
hmmmm, don't know what YOU'RE asking me to face, i mean i understand tech has higher standards and you can't drink YOUR whole way through it, but even so, i've never had any problems with parties gameday or not. maybe some ppl just don't know where to look or go?
