There are tons of places one can get a really good education if one know’s what one is doing and/or is lucky, and at most of these one can also get a really bad education.
That said, Roll Tide. (But I’ve got a sister that pulls hard for Ohio State).
You’re right, of course. Personally, I went from a very small suburban high school to the largest college (on one campus) in the country and loved it. And regarding The Tide, I tend to root for ‘Bama unless they’re playing OSU. Lot of respect. Saban being a player for and graduate of Kent State, and former OSU and Browns assistant, helps. Combined, the traditions of the two schools are massive.
