They're 110 nationally, nothing to be ashamed of as Clemson

is only 67 in the same format and massaged the numbers to get there.
Alabama should be proud of graduating players as should any school and you only need to look to Dabo & Tim Bourret for lauding Clemson Football's APR as proof.
Clemson is a fine school.

Clemson is ranked 23rd in Public universities, and is well known for academics. Alabama is 51st, and rated below South Carolina.. and is much of joke to get into as most everyone knows. APR is important but if not taken in context of how rigorous a university actually is, it's useless.

When Clemson gets at least a Law School, let me know. It's a nice little public school.
I'm happy for the drive by Barker to improve the standing of Clemson, I lauded it then and now, as no more than 10 years ago it was the bane of the ACC, perhaps only FSU below it.
Now, hopefully Dabo and all can bring up their APRs, it's important.

I'm sorry that Clemson is only 67th, that seems to upset you, while Alabama is only 110.
Maybe you should have been upset when Barker was charging more tuition for numbers that were manipulated to reach a goal?
I love Clemson, mostly for the people, have many a family member call it their Alma, doctors, lawyers, business men alike.
I'd like to believe Clemson made them better people, it just didn't seem to take with all. That's a shame.
Now, go back to your nice little public school.

Alabama, since your logic is so fallible. Being ranked a top 20-25 public school each year is quite an honor. But we won't mention our well known college of engineering, architecture, etc. When alabama is rated below south carolina, pretty much anyone can tell that alabama is a joke of a university academically. I'm proud of you though for sticking up for your accelerated high school.

Haha.
Alabama's a fine school, graduating student athletes should be lauded, 110 nationally and I imagine striving to be better.
Clemson is a fine school and everyone that follows should be proud of the work that Vickery Hall, Dabo and the staff have done in promoting the individual before the player. 67th is fine, I'm sure the administration strives every day to improve its stead in the realm of Academia.
I'm proud on any school that would seem to care about their student-athletes, so yes, I'll laud Alabama for their APR and other good people should as well.
And yes, I understand why Barker did what he did in order to garner research monies, massaging the numbers, as it's important to the long term.

South Carolina's ranking is irrelevant to the discussion

of whether or not Alabama is a good school.
DSPs point is that the top 20-25 public school ranking was a manipulated sham.
South Carolina K-12 ranks in the bottom 5 of our country:

The majority of our student population comes from these high schools.

I'm pretty sure being ranked below South Carolina in academics is a pretty clear sign of where U of A stands. And although President Barker did cater to some specific metrics in the ranking, that is something all universities do. So I'm still trying to find how these arguments pan out at all.

And I must say, the in state students I attended with were rather intelligent, and most of the out of state students were very highly regarded. USC is where most in-state students go who want a big school experience, but can't keep up academically with the rest.

Sometimes you need to talk at the level of those you are speaking with. If you look anything like your Bob Ross avatar, I believe I'm doing a good job of that.

I'll make it easy for you

I'll keep it simple for now:
Univ of Alabama graduates: Early and mid-career salaries are $49,000 and $90,900
Clemson Univ graduates: Early and mid-career salaries are $54,300 and $101,100
Now, if a Clemson grad takes that extra salary, and invests it into a basic 401k account, they will have an additional $1.3 million when they retire at age 60... that's a conservative estimate that doesn't include an employer match.
Let me know when you're ready for more.

I totally agree on Feaster. He came here a shifty lightning bolt, thus the gift of the number 28 from C.J. Now he is a straight ahead, no-cut thumper who always takes the pile forward, but never jump cuts at all. You could be right. He may be better at 205 than he is at 222. Of course, ET makes EVERYONE look slow.

Choice first...
Jan 23, 2018, 4:28 PM

I think early in the season when Choice and Fuller were getting carries early in the game it set the tone. They did the dirty work and got hard yards. Later in the game, 2nd / 3rd quarter, you start featuring Feaster, then Etienne, and boom! He takes it to the house. This seemed like the formula early but Fuller got the fumbles, and Feaster become the #1 option. I think all of them need to play, but it's good to get a bruiser in there first and tire down the D.
