You need to tell your Coogs there is no such thing as a lesser person.

When I went to Houston Law in the late 90's, it was ranked higher than SMU.

Not sure I understand. The Coogs, specifically UH Law?, believes there are "lesser" people?

UH Law hit a rough spot in the 2000s. I thought it was from a concerted effort to recruit more URMs and not focus as strictly on LSAT and grades. Glad to see it's back up and am glad to see Dedman doing so well. It would be fantastic to have three Top 40 law schools in Texas.

You yourself said they "focused on scores and grades again instead of the 'whole person'". I was speaking in jest in case you have not seen the SMU ad that has the statement "there is no such thing as a lesser person".

I guess if you have to explain it, it did not hit.

Tristate, it's a stupid shirt that made its way into a less-stupid SMU commercial than that epic-ly bad "World Changes Shaped Here" animated garbage.

Oops, I missed the "no lesser person" SMU ad. I liked the world changers concept, if not all of the stories attached to it.

I think the SFA billboards are pretty solid. Lumberjacks Make Great ____

World Changers was a solid concept. The execution, however, was beyond awful

I prefer half naked kappas dancing to pay their attorney fees as ads go.

I have said this before but will say it again: if an agency presented that ad to me they would be taken off the project immediately.

Seriously, what is happening with the business school? I just check U.S. News and they have UTD ranked ahead of Cox.

A status quo dean who uses his fund raising prowess to avoid scrutiny and a president who will not hold his deans accountable unless they are really horrible. I have always supported Turner but I am done. Time for him to go along with numerous deans starting with Neimi...
