    We get it AoG, you couldnt get admitted into UW and quit the CWU football team after 3 practices

    I actually enjoyed this post, since to my knowledge you are the only one that has actually taken account of the fact I played college football if only in a minor way! And that includes the real world too. Also, it was three weeks, not 3 practices. Not listed on the depth chart, I did enough to take a few hits and run a few sprints.

    If anything, UW is a populist school. When the coach says "elite" I take that in the common sense usage that only a very select few are accepted, and then of those there is a very high degree of academic rigor. A statement like that would apply to places like Stanford and MIT. Look, I ~know~ people who went to the UW and they are just fine. I like them. But to say that they went to an elite school is pushing it way too far. Now, in engineering at the undergraduate level, possibly it is elite. I'll grant that. It is very tough to get into UW engineering. Even 4.0 students do not make it necessarily into EE. But at the undergraduate level which is what would concern the football players, the education is about like every other school at this level. In fact, the classes are huge, so you get less professor interaction in general, so arguably it is not as good.

    Don't get me wrong, the UW is a good school, but there is a certain unjustified snobbishness which accompanies some attitudes. Maybe the UW is elite compared to BSU. Fine.

    I wonder what these guys think when they realize UW has the shittiest looking coeds in the Pac-12. I barely recall several Apple Cups when it hit me that the WSU sluts looked better than our pasty granola heifers. This was the 90's too. It has to be even worse now. Jesus.

    You should spend some time with Splooge and develop yellow fever.

    also, you assholes twisted this into a CWU/EWU argument, which it isn't.

    Yeah, but it made it more fun.

    it sounds like dennis needs a bit of a timeout. But, this kind of temper tantrum happens with an elitist poseur. Especially when I say it is a good school.

    Just not elite.
