I was examining the top 25 ranked football teams in the nation and i noticed something that saddens me: every school I applied to is ranked higher than Texas.
The University of California at Berkeley, which a surprising number of Texans don’t realize is called Cal (which is fair since I’ve known a surprisingly large number of Californians who had no idea that Texas and Texas A&M were different schools) is ranked number 2 in the nation. Cal has had a surprising amount of BCS related drama with Texas, which makes my use of a Cal hat for studying particularly awkward for those pesky fall finals. I’d certainly have had a better football weekend if I had chosen to go to the family school, Stanford.
The University of South Carolina at Columbia Gamecocks are having a pretty impressive season with wins at Georgia and over Kentucky with only one loss to the currently #1 LSU. These guys offered me a full ride, but since I ended up not actually studying International Business I’m really happy I went to a school with good programs outside that one area
