Montana's US News and World Report college ranking

Depends on who is doing the rankings.

MSU is the success story in Montana with its record breaking enrollment and it's rankings. UM needs to do a lot better job in selling themselves.

USNWR or Forbes? All rankings can be arbitrary, but I hope you know USNWR is the most important metric. Anyone can be ranked high in Earl's Rankin' of Fancy Book Learnin' and Radiator Repair Shops.

Good news for both schools. For the record I don't know too many people that think Forbes is a rag. Pretty credible report, again good for both universities.

Great news, but hardly a surprise.

Legit question to the cat fans: If quantity = quality, what will you be saying when UM's enrollment inevitably passes that of msu? And what were you saying for the decades when UM's enrollment was higher?

Penn has fewer than 10,000 students. Using the cat metric, that school must SUCK.

There is certainly no arguing this!

 

[grizpsych]

Yes, this is terrific. It's amazing what a new President and new football coach will do for a school.

Go fuck yourself. They had nothing to do with this list!

 

[ordigger]

Don’t worry, we are looking down at both of you.

 

[goatcreekgriz]

Never doubted it.

You are right CDA, they all can be arbitrary. It appears that with UMs steeply declined enrollment that students and their parents do not agree with you on USNWR.

That may be. But, you won't ever find someone who thinks Forbes is the authority over USNWR. For better or worse, that's the "real" ranking.

Throw enough money at ads in the market and some fool will buy it.

CDA, apparently students and parents do not agree with you. Results are what counts. UM enrollment is tanking despite USNWR rankings. MSU is getting results thus record breaking enrollment.

Do you really think it is just the ads? MSU is now over 17,000 students. That’s a lot of fools both students and parents. Do you really think that? If so, no wonder UM enrollment is declining.

The reality is CDA, is it doesn’t matter who you think the authority is. The proof is in the results and MSU is kicking UM’s butt. Rankings in failing magazines don’t mean krap. What counts is results. Students and parents feel MSU is the better school. That is reality.

UM is ranked higher in the only ranking that matters, you fucking dunce. How hard is that to understand? The only point you initially made was that MSU was ranked higher in a ranking nobody cares about. Maybe enroll in a UM logic class. That could really help you.

Yep, another Friday night just before 10:00 pm. Wash down the weeks troubles with 4 Icehouse 5.5' tallboys, crank up some Brad Paisley, sit down in the nicest chair in the double-wide and log onto e-Griz.

Why the hell are you drinking Asshouse??? Steel Reserve is where it’s at!

Kidding. Holy shit am I kidding. I need another IPA...

Ursa you ARE really living the dream. Right on man. :thumb:

I believe Ursa was suggesting that’s how 33 ends his week.

I know for a fact Ursa drinks 4 Loco to get ripped up.

The only dunce is you, CDA. You must have taken one of those UM logic classes. What matters is how students and parents view the quality of the school and where they subsequently enroll. Apparently they do not agree with USNWR as they are choosing MSU by a very wide margin.

Everett is of course correct. I only drink Four Loko Watermelon. A night with Watermelon Four Loko is like a summer fling – always unpredictable and the memories last forever.

I think. :|
