I like Nick...I also like the cute curly haired blonde girl...Amy (?)
 
 Kwame shoulda been fired way back when he impersonated a celebrity at that ball signing thing...

Why not? You and bunnyballs diss everything else on this board. I think that U of MD. is mediocre (at best), and stand by that point.

Kwame hasn't shone at anything yet...the one who I think looks like Matt Lauer that was leading the winning team last night is mediocre..the real estate agent is just that...a real estate agent and they all tend to think they're something special when all they do is show people houses, so she's useless. Troy the country boy outsmarted her at her own game. Troy is good at thinking on his feet but Nick and that Amy are probably the strongest two people to head a company. Nick's problem is he thinks he's this wonderful salesman when he's barely average...he couldn't sell bottled water to a friggin resaurant for crying out loud.  The problem they're making for themselves now is forming alliances when it's a job interview, which will come back to haunt some of them at the end.
 
 I've never sat through one other single reality show, but I enjoy the dynamics of this one...and I like Donald Trump, he's not the horses arse he has the reputation of being.

Beyond reprehensible, because the man has millions upon millions and must be able to find *someone* who can help him.  I was aghast, as if anew, last night.

  For undergrad, it's probably the 4th or 5th best public school in this region. That's all.

but do you think you could tell the difference between somebody who worked hard at maryland vs. somebody who worked hard at virginia, or somebody who did not work hard at either of those schools [/b]

Somebody who worked very hard would eventually get a professorship...at an Ivy league university.

 seriously, do you think that the engineering school ranking (25th) out of  all  universities that offer a doctorate (including private schools) is also a joke?  or the other undergrad programs that rank high - (see business school)?
 If it is, you tell that to my employer because he is paying me well based on my non credible knowledge!
 Don't be a hater.

How many schools are in the engineering school population?
 
 As for the business school rankings -- UMD is tied for 42nd.  Which means it's not very good.  Honestly.  The Wall Street Journal pointed out the business and financial world's dirty little secret in an article a few years ago.  If you didn't go to a top ten business school (Tuck, Wharton, Darden, Haas, Kellogg, Harvard, Sloan, Stanford, Chicago, maybe Fuqua, etc...) then you would probably have been better off saving your money.

Not to get everyone pissed off at the ol' Dupester, but...Business is not an education at all!

As is astronomy, I'm taken to understand.

Hah!  Fancy that.  Me & keithstg on the same side of an argument.   It was bound to happen sooner or later....

 But, aside from picking barfights on bboards with strangers, and bemoaning the fact that you didn't attend Harvard engineering school(Is Harvard even known for their sterling engineering curricula?), DO you CLAIM to indeed 'know something' about..."Principles of Engineering &/or Arm Wrestling", as I believe you referred to it.  And does this knowledge constitute an education according to your worldview?  
 
 Despite, your pronouncement of not having attended the Yale or Harvard engineering program DO YOU still consider yourself to be an "Educated" man? [/b]

1. I never tried to start a barfight with you or anyone else on this board, I only wnated to meet and exchange pleasantries.
 2. I never bemoaned not attending Harvard - I only found fault with your boisterous remark of parents wasting money on non-Ivy league schools with good footbal programs. Thus, I found a plausible exception to your comment as evidenced by my alma mater.
 3. Yes, I do claim to have knowledge of the princples of engineering, evidenced by my professional license to practice in the field of engineering.
 4.  Yes, I do know something about arm wrestling, albeit only from Sylvester Stallone's film "Over the Top"
 5.  Yes, I do consider myself educated - educated enough to know that it is not just a degree from a higher education learning facility that makes one educated or intelligent. Also educated enough to know that I don't profess to know everything.
 
 So how about it, can we meet for a beer at the 930 club and continue this discussion? Don't be afraid, I am educated enough to know that violence is not an answer to anything.  Seeing as to how you have turned down other offers in the past, I will not be offended if you rebuff me. [/QB]

 Dammit!  Now you're being civil. Bah!

  all right!! too many arguments going on at one time.  
 To summarize:
 
 Numbers are like $20 whores, you can do anything you want with them!!!  So the ranking system is all relative to the methodologies and what the School's PR dept. does is another story.
 
 I never claimed that UMD was the best, but it is a good value for a good education - which was meant to find a flaw in Dupek's original statement about good-in football schools.
 
 
 

Sorry...Did I say football?  I meant to say: lacrosse.

A college education doesn't mean you're intelligent, it just means you can remember shit that you read in a book.
