Do you have a degree from there? I don't expect most folks to care much, but I live in Columbia, wife works for the University and my grandparents taught there for decades between them.
For those of us that are a fan of the University and not just their laundry, it does mean
something, even if that something isn't as significant as a BCS game.
The program's not in fantastic shape right now from a W/L standpoint, but it
is producing quality kids. As someone who views the University as more than just a football team, that's relevant, though certainly dispositive or even paramount.
We're struggling for good news here, fellas - you might want to take what you can get.
