Re: FFFF Semi (4/8): Wisconsin vs. RIT

Well then you sure as shooting didn't send any of those out here during your last Rose bowl run. What happened? Scared that they'd see the sunshine and not come back... or was it just a 'Let's see if we can't drive the cattle west' tactic?

Either way, well played.

The hot ones were back here having sex.

Also, living in San Diego, I find it positively hilarious that Wisconsin would dare to comment on any school's women. They're in the land of brats and fried cheese curds people.

Congrats on living in San Diego...no one care. I love how people from New York and California love to tell everyone where they're from. It never fails if you are talking with them about something completely different they will find a way to sneak it into the conversation

Are you saying UW isn't a state school?? Maybe our terminology for that is different back east too?

Of course it is - it's a public university. But no one refers to it as "state." That kind of moniker is explicitly reserved for schools that, you know, actually use the word "state" in their name - Michigan State, Ohio State, Penn State, etc.

You won't see any Wisconsin team referring to themselves as such.

That U-Wisco is the equivalent to a state school.

1.1 billion. That is how much research funding our school received in the past year. I guess the NIH, DOD, ect thinks this PUBLIC universitiy is worth the investment.

Also, per university policy, we do not accept classified grants. If we did, we would most likely have much more funding, but we want to be able to actually share our knowledge .

I didn't start the talk about the quality of the local young ladies... don't pin that one on me. Just joining in on the good natured ribbing going back and forth. Your other bucky brethren got it. Guess I touched a nerve.

What does San Diego have to do with the ladies at RIT or UW?

The terminology in NY is different. NY has the whole SUNY thing, and that's really it.

Most states have 2 levels for their schools. University of [State Name] and [State Name] State. Typically the U of schools are more prestigious, get more funding, and are more difficult to get into.

Examples: University of Arizona and Arizona State University. University of California (there are a few of these, the most popular is Berkeley, but UCLA is another) vs Cal State xxx (like Cal State San Louis Obispo, Cal State Northridge, etc). University of Oregon vs Oregon State... and on and on.

Our state school would be University of Wisconsin-Milwaukee. They have, in the past, thought about changing the name to Wisconsin State but I guess (to the best of my knowledge) it never materialized.

UW-Whitewater was rumored to be wanting to switch to Wisconsin State University a few years ago.

What does San Diego have to do with the ladies at RIT or UW?

Let me replace SD with the words 'A place where the women are well known for being very good looking'

I said

"Coming from -A place where the women are well known for being very good looking'- I can't believe Wisconsin would comment on anybody's women"

Does that make more sense?

The thing was a 'Those who live in glass houses' bit. That's all. Silly good natured ribbing. You people are wound way too tight. I can't believe I have to explain this. If you have 4s you really don't have a lot of room to insult a place for having 3s. Next thing you'll know we'll see a page and a half of people getting upset for being called cockey

Example a Wisconsin native might understand: Can someone who drinks Budweiser really make fun of someone who drinks Coors for drinking crappy beer?

Awhile back I hosted a visiting scientist from California working on one of our projects. His daughter, he confided, had asked him to bring her back a UC-Madison sweatshirt.

I really could care less what you think of Wisconsin women. That wasn't the point the point was you sneaked into the convo that you were from California, which I found funny.

Good one. Hope he got her a Wisky sweatshirt... sounds like that's as close as she'll get to a U of anything.
