This contest intrigues me; is ahead on kids based only on number or total weight? Same question for spouse? Heath is an expanse of uncultivated land so I'm assuming total acreage? If PR meant "health" then I think the incorrect spelling of a one syllable word word decide the "school question". Reminds of that show "Superstars" in the 70s/80s when athletes from different sports would compete.

you are right, greenie, you are ahead of me in everything in life! as such, a head's up about any unexpected obstacles, which seem to appear more and more as i grow old and decrepit like you, would be appreciated! especially given my even-weaker-than-you state, which, i must admit, has to be pretty bad. not gonna go into the details, but the fear of losing to you in a tongue lolling contest keeps me in my place.
mcg said:My concern is that the basic story line of "enrollment is down but the leading indicators are showing improvement" has been the basic messaging for a long time now, yet enrollment never seems to increase.
SoldierGriz said:Texas A&M has increased enrollment every year since 2001. Doubled in size..
UT has not had the same trajectory.
You'll find similar results nation-wide.
It's the curriculum and majors offered...schools not offering a suite of engineering degrees are simply not doing as well as those that are.
Where is UM on Cyber security? How about artificial intelligence? Biosciences - how have they expanded and adapted?
Gotta add some stuff IMO.

for asserting his superiority in all areas. I’m kinda thinking an underlying insecurity, or a fear of inadequacy, belies the braggadocio. This guy triggers easier than Trump at a Romney Rally.

Actually, you have the insecurity, not me. Let's hear what you have. What college sports did you play? What level of education did you get? What's your job or profession? Do you have a nice and pretty wife, and great family?
Or, are you just a (small) mouth on the internet? Put up or shut up.

You have way more luncheons with important people than me PR, No doubt. But I’m not so challenged by every other poster on egriz that I feel the need to resort to compare the size of my...wallet to validate my authority and gain their affirmation. I know you “played the game” back in, what, 1967? So what? You may wear a nice suit but you’re still just a troll.

I agree Soldier. All these areas are at the forefront of society and the economy now. Not that a “classic” education isn’t valuable but kids aren’t just gentlemen scholars. They have real loans to repay and need to know they have a reasonable chance at a career. Education and training are not necessarily the same but it’s important that the University can do some of each. I like this thread. All are Griz fans but also passionate about the education quality of the U.
