Before the flood.
@BeastMode Athens GA is one of the best little cities around. UGA is a very good school and the campus is top notch. it is a great place to spend your college years at. I have been to several games there and the college experience there all day before the game is awesome. If you want the city, Atlanta is only an 1 1/2 drive. It is not the same city as Miami, true. I love Miami and the U is my school. but don't knock down Athens and UGA. place is killer.
Sometimes I get the impression that there are people on this board who never want to see us succeed so they can keep pointing out how miserable we are.
Let me know when Tuscaloosa, Tallahassee, Gainesville, Athens, or Clemson hosts a Super Bowl on the national stage so I can compare reactions.
It doesn’t do **** for recruiting. Kids want to play for winners. They go live in Athens Georgia, Tuscaloosa Alabama, Ohio, South Carolina etc....
The weather and city **** is so overplayed
No, Athens is a cool place.Athens is a schithole. I would never let my son go to UGA either. That diploma is laughed at anywhere outside of Ga.

NO.THE U has about 11,000 students....
UF, FSU, Bama, Clemson, LSU etc.... they have from 70,000 to 100,000 students....
Not only do these "State schools" get heavy STATE funding support.... but these schools have by mathematics A LOT MORE donations and wealthy parents/alumni contributing to the schools and football programs...
Miami NEEDS EVERY OUNCE OF JUICE IT CAN GET to bring attention and attraction to the recruits.
So pointing out the CITY or the PR that was masterfully pulled off this week is important because as a TINY ***KING SCHOOL... we need all the help we can get.

Find that a bit much. Not an expert on either school, not an expert on those fields except maybe law. Neither UM nor Georgia is considered a "national" school in law.UGA also demolishes MIA in numerous categories, particularly those relating to Medicine, Law, and Public & International Affairs. He's just extremely biased towards Finance/Wall St & NYC, so he usually lacks objectivity when it comes to this subject. Smh

I believe UM's Bascom-Palmer Institute is considered elite in ophthamalogy, perhaps number one in world.
Don't know about other areas of medicine. Are you talking about the Medical College of Georgia?
International Affairs? Many years ago UM was top-notch in Soviet Studies because they had Foy Kohler and Moise Harvey on the faculty. Richard Perle, former national security staff for Sen. Henry Jackson and later top arms control official at Reagan DOD told me about the quality of the UM institute on Soviet affairs with which these two were affiliated. Now, this was many years ago, the early '70's.
Don't know about now.
I'm not aware of any fields in which UGa is distinguished. But that's just me. I might not know.
I just don't believe people are laughing at UGa degree.
I had a friend with a UM MBA in finance and he always complained to me it was worthless. I worked in a big Wall Street law firm for a while, not finance or investment banking, but I'm guessing neither degree will get you far on Wall Street when you have to compete with the top national MBA schools.
The big Wall Street law firms were very degree conscious and I never saw UM or UGa law graduates that I remember. Mostly NYU, Columbia, Harvard, Yale, Michigan, and some others (Georgetown, UVa, Chicago). There were a few from Boston Univ., Tulane, Fordham, Brooklyn, that I remember among the non-elite schools. Usually, a person or two would get in from those schools, make partner, and they'd start bringing in more.
All the Friday night stuff.....UM cheerleaders and band were very visible...this is the type of publicity money can't buy and it continued all the way through (Calais Campbell, Greg Olsen, JJ, you name it) until everything was over.THE U has about 11,000 students....
