You need to shell out a few more thousands for a better reading comprehension teacher. I said USNWR TOP 200 not Forbes.

You have a student population of 40,000 and a decade of bowl games and a few appearances in the Top 25. I would certainly hope that you could average 27K attendance.
LOL on anything trying to make Houston sound like it belongs in the same sentence w/ UT, SMU, A&M, TCU, or Baylor in regards to student quality or prestige. I would venture to guess that the number of SMU applicants who even bother to apply to a safety school like Houston is less than 5%. UH is light years behind the institutions listed above. Houston peer institutions are other bloated enrollment state entities such as East Carolina, Marshall, and UAB.
Congrats on running a diploma mill and having a good football program. Other than that UH is one of the many turds in the punchbowl of Texas public higher ed.
Back off Warchild seriously.

SMU will be in the top 50 of the USNWR rankings by 2015 and will likely push ahead of UT-Austin by 2020. UH will still be in the muck between 140-180 if they are able to maintain some of their momentum by attempting to shed the "commuter" label. Still can't change the location of the school or the overwhelming perception by prospective students of UH being a safety school. That will take decades worth of infrastructure improvement, endowment growing, public relations and marketing, and transformative leadership. In other words let me know where UH is ranked by 2050 bc until then they won't sniff being considered a Top 100 caliber university.

Allow me to repost your comment with Forbes in bold. Cougar King wrote: Also, were ranked in USNWR Top 200 , Forbes and other publications.
You brought up Forbes, not me. You also said were not we're. Your trolling needs some work still. I'm disappointed in you Kenny.

I have to side with CK on this one. His sentence did not say UH was ranked in the top 200 by Forbes. It clearly says top 200 by USNWR and just that they are ranked by Forbes without saying what Forbes ranked them. It might have been a poorly constructed sentence, but that does not make it a lie.

Comparing SMU and UH is asinine. Like I said earlier in this thread, the percentage of kids that apply to SMU that even bothered applying to UH is probably less than 5%. UH is less than a safety school option for an SMU applicant let alone someone who is accepted to SMU. We are going after an entirely different type of applicant than UH. The only thing UH has going for it is that its got a respectable football program and a solid law school. Other than that its virtually UNT-South.

Then it's still a poor sentence and we're caught up talking about sentence structure instead of the actual point. Thanks Grant

I read yesterday that the UT QB transfer Connor Brewer is headed to Arizona-I guess this memorable thread is actually about Cayleb Jones the UT WR transfer

Funny, because I and everybody I know has NEVER had a problem at UH. A lot of the folks in third ward are some of the nicest you'll ever meet. Just because it's a black neighborhood, doesn't mean it's as violent and dangerous as you're trying to propagate. It's funny how we can still bring 33k+ to "one of the most dangerous neighborhoods in America" yet SMU sits in a wealthy area yet gets outdrawn by SLC, Allen, and many other DFW high schools during the season. When you opened Ford to play Kansas, about 12 maybe 13k showed up? When we open our new stadium next season, no less than 41k will come no matter who the opponent may be. Pretty damn good for a school that you claim is "dangerous". Tell me about Cincy, USC, Memphis, Louisville, Fresno, Harvard, Temple, Yale, UPenn and many other schools located in "bad" neighborhoods. We're in a "dangerous area" yet more and more people are staying on campus, recruits are telling P5 schools to shove it so they can stay on Cullen. SMU has never amounted to anything in the scape of athletics or culture without cheating and being dishonest. Then again, I guess you can say lying, cheating, stealing and using unethical tactics IS SMU's culture. http://crimeblog.dallasnews.com/2013/05 ... ding.html/http://smu.edu/pd/CrimeAlerts.2013/Arme ... il2013.pdfhttp://www.smudailycampus.com/news/four ... fr9J20uEnkHow ironic, it looks like you can get mugged at SMU too.

Everybody you know has never had a problem. That's worth repeating.
