And you only come on here to try and discredit me, and take up for your true savior..once again you are wrong. Ask him where he got the original source. 34 wouldn't know what the heck the waybackmachine is..
Thanks for checking in on me though..

Are yall 12? who cares who the first "source" was to point something out? Not being negative towards you or anything and don't mean anything negative by my comment but does it really matter? It seems like yall go back and forth on stuff like this fairly regularly. Just curious as to why it matters who the first to bring something to light is?

UT is very hard to get into for a straight out of high school student. TAMU also has high standards, both of these schools have defined benchmarks a student needs to achieve, like ACT/SAT scores and GPA. UGA, on the other hand, is a little easier to get into, but doesn't rely on set benchmarks as much, volunteer work/extracurricular activities of prospective students, etc., plays a significant role.

Most of the upper tier schools have that requirement, perhaps as a discriminator. Of course, virtually all the applicants to Harvard, Yale, Princeton, etc., are going to be in the upper reaches of high school performance and SAT too.

I wish they'd be granted permission to bring back the flag, the colonel and Dixie with the understanding that they are officially not the University of Mississippi and can never refer to themselves as that.
And bring in a descendant of Jefferson Davis as president and a descendant of Ross Barnett as provost.

Hell, just let Lafayette Co. outright secede from the Union...again. Economically, they would probably compete with Haiti....shit, they could change their nickname from the "Harvard of the South" to the "Haiti of the North".**

Now THAT'S a plan for them. News article circa 2034:

"The small landlocked nation of Lafayette has had their application to the OECD denied for the second year in a row. Johnathan Beauregard Davis the Third, Grand President, had this to say on the rejection: 'Lafayette is a beautiful country of rolling mountain hills and exquisite deciduous forests topped by the crown jewel of academia--Ole Miss University. We do right implore the OECD to reconsider their decision.'"

You have got to be kidding, some dickhead said that. Talk about out of touch with reality.

I'm pretty sure he was just being facetious ... it's hard to quote someone from the year 2034
