Instead of tossing about opinions, let's judge a university by what it offers to it's students. Let's see. . . . The University of Texas, Texas Tech University, SMU, Baylor, Texas Wesleyan University, South Texas College of Law, Texas Southern, and Southwestern all have Schools of Law. Is Texas A&M the largest university in the nation without a School of Law? I guess Texas A&M is a pretty lousy (graduate) school.
Again, unless you can point out any such denigration that is unfounded, you are arguing against fact, not me.
Consider yourself argued against.
I guess 1L is still trying to google "Texas A&M School of Law".
>>If you want to judge a university by a few drunkards at a football game, feel free.<<
You still don't get it. It isn't a FEW, but institutionally supported and ignored or sluffed off by people like you. YOU are the problem, even though I doubt you ever threw anything at a football game (I'm giving you a huge benefit of the doubt here; please tell me you've earned it). But the fact that you get on here and use the word "few" means you are either ignorant, blind, or indifferent. Because you are one of those three, the nonsensical behavior continues to happen. Why don't you call the president of the university out and demand that he clean things up? You'd rather get on me for pointing it out then go to the source or demand things change.
>>Just don't call my alma mater a pretty lousy (undergraduate) school<<
I really hate to say it, but it is. I know of two people that got into tech (one allegedly was offered a scholarship -- but I didn't confirm that) after they had flunked out of Southwest Texas State and Tarlton State respectively. No, not Rice or Trinity, but two schools that haven't exactly set the world on fire academically. I've also worked with tech undergrads, and, with two exceptions (out of about 15 or so), they've been remarkably mediocre in things that other schools' graduates were consistently good at. I will conceed that there is some value in some grad schools at tech. The law school improved tremendously in the last decade and a half and is producing very good graduates. Truthfully, if the same exact school was in the metroplex, it would probably be Texas' all-around finest law school, since it would attrack people that don't want to pay private school tuition, don't want to live in Waco, and would rather get a less theorectical (at least according to reputation) and more practical legal education than you get in Austin.
>>Is Texas A&M the largest university in the nation without a School of Law? I guess Texas A&M is a pretty lousy (graduate) school.<<
Hmmm. You're going to have to explain this one to me. Are you saying the lack of a law school means the graduate program is lousy? I guess that means Princeton, Dartmouth, MIT, Brown, Auburn, Georgia Tech, Purdue, and even Oregon State and Washington State (not to mention all but 4 of the UCal campuses) have lousy (graduate) schools?
Or is this just an idiotic attempt at either humor or insult?
>>Consider yourself argued against.<<
Don't flatter yourself, dude.
