Do y'all see what we have to deal with down here? Arguments like stadium size = good football. Rice Stadium can hold 70,000, how much have they won lately? What most Dwags can't wrap their brain around is this concept that bigger school = more alumni = bigger stadium (14,000 more students currently, so not an insignificant number). I know its tough for them to comprehend such a concept. Not to mention the mathematically challenged notion that somehow 93,000 is twice as much as 55,000. I mean, maybe if it were close, say within 5,000 you could let it slide. So come come back and try again when they expand Sanford to at least 105,000.
As has already been pointed out, the whole harder to get into notion is rather dubious too. Every since the Hope Scholarship was invented every mouth breather in the state started applying to Ugag. It has a broader cirriculum than GT so it makes sense that they would have a larger student population to draw from. The positive upshot of this (see? I'm about to say something nice!) is that the average academic credentials of students entering Ugag has improved (though as Fiz pointed out, GT standards are still higher). So larger number of applicants = higher rejection rate even if the standards are lower.
And as far as the owning goes, well, its been a rough last 40 years or so, but I'd bet most Dwags would trade a lot that ownage for the 2x as many National Championships we have over them.
And with that, I will withdraw from the debate. College sports flame wars are for college sports boards not the PPUSA board.
Besides, its not much fun when your carrying around a bazooka to your opponents pea shooter
