Around SBN: Indy 500: Coverage of the 'Greatest Spectacle In Racing'

Another thing we're better than the Aggies at

Perhaps even more important than the state of the athletic department is the worth of that degree we all have hanging on our wall. UT comes in at # 29 to the Aggies #164. As a graduate from the Cockrell School, I for one am especially proud that the Engineering College comes in at #13 where the Aggies are not even ranked in the top 50. As a graduate of the University it makes me feel very good my 4 years and countless dollars spent to know that I attended and graduated from one of the premier Universities in the world. Hook'Em Horns and hopefully one day we can come in there with the Stanfords of the world.

Reminds me of when I stumbled across a Nebraska blog

Corn-something or rather. In one of those threads, you had all these Cornhuskers calling UT student “hicks” and “inbreds” and various “they’re so stupid!” descriptions. It’s amazing how some people can delude themselves into believing that they’re so superior when the reality isn’t even close. I of course pointed that out to them.

Because we're Texas and we're evil. DUH.

According to this UT is ranked #15 in the world.

I have not been able to find any evidence to corroborate this article. Can anyone help me figure out what this guy/gal is referencing?

Look at the date

That was from 2004.

One conference to rule them all. One conference to bore them.
One conference to annoy them all, and have ESPN whore them.

Cockrell School of Engineering

Good post. In some disciplines of engineering, A&M is ranked. I graduated in Civil Engineering (1993) and as per US News, Texas is ranked #6 in undergraduate Civil Engineering. Texas A&M is ranked #10 in undergraduate Civil Engineering.

I know

it’s not an actual grammar rule in English to not end a sentence with a preposition (and sometimes it’s almost unavoidable), but perhaps when your post is about the superior nature of your education you could avoid it in the title where it’s easily avoidable.

Could use some English classes, though.
