<p>Texas gets a bad rep from the rest of the country it seems. People are astounded when they come here and see that next to nobody wears a cowboy hat and rides a horse. Besides, Austin is a completely different beast than the rest of the state ;)</p>
<p>well vanderbilt girls are fine but its in the south…</p>
<p>UCLA. And FSU on gameday.</p>
<p>Everything? lol
UCLA>Texas
both sports&location</p>
<p>Texas was given best “America’s best sports college” by Sports Illustrated, whereas UCLA hasn’t won anything in who knows when. I’ve visited LA before, and it doesn’t have nearly the college town vibe Austin does. Austin bleeds UT.</p>
<p>Ucla>asu>usc</p>
<p>^ What city did you live in?</p>
<p>
</p>
<p>Lol. You assume I have not.</p>
<p>On another note, I’ve decided not to apply to grad programs in the Northeast. The people there are much too snobby and elitist for me.</p>
<p>Pizzagirl, you’re completely wrong there. Way to demonstrate your complete and utter ignorance. We appreciate it! Now we know not to ever listen to anything you have to say lolz</p>
<p>UT-Austin is extremely sexy. for the record, Austin is the least “country” city in the state. The whole place just radiates awesome weirdness and free-spirited partying. HOT women, too…</p>
<p>I agree with My Name is Jonas on every count. In short:</p>
<p>1)Austin is nothing like the rest of Texas. We were the only district that went Democrat in the '04 elections</p>
<p>2)UT beats the pants off UCLA in sports. wth? UCLA may have been decent 50 years ago under John Wooden, but c’mon. UT has recent titles across the board from football, to track, to baseball, as well as consistent breaks into the late rounds of March Madness. you should really get out more.</p>
<p>Pizzagirl was most likely semi-kidding.</p>
<p>If she was, ditto but to Grape_Drank. whose name alone reminds me of Cleveland from Family Guy and thus invalidates everything he/she says haha</p>
<p>ucla is # 1 in NCAA championships. no way texas > ucla.</p>
<p>UCLA has gotten farther than Texas in March Madness for past several years.
What’s Texas got besides the title with Vince Young :o</p>
<p>um when exactly were all those championships won, genius?
I’ve already acknowledged Wooden’s success.
try RECENT championships.
we own you in that respect.</p>
<p>whoever mentioned the SI “best sports college” ranking is absolutely correct. I just double-checked the stat.</p>
<p>Actually, UCLA has the most national championships out of all D1 programs, negating your claim that UT has a better athletic program.</p>
<p>My vote goes to UCLA and USC. Great academics, beautiful student population, amazing locale, and the 1st and 3rd most national championships, respectively.</p>
<p>UT comes in 7th, due in large part to their female athletics, which place 5th all-time. As a matter of fact, the men’s program does not have the most national championships in their own state. That distinction believes to the UTEP Miners. The most successful program at UT; swimming and diving.</p>
<p>For the big three - Football, Basketball, Baseball - UT takes 2/3. Barely losing basketball.</p>
<p>This was never about comparing the two.</p>
<p>Did I not JUST address that first point??!! list the dates for those championships, please. Thanks.</p>
<p>“Texas has claimed 47 team national championships, includeing titles in football (05), women’s indoor track and field (06), women’s outdoor track and field (05), baseball (05 and 02), and men’s swimming and diving (00, 01, 02).”</p>
<p>That basically says it. </p>
<p>Saying Texas only had Vince Young is ridiculous lol. He actually won a championship for his team. Did Kevin Love win a championship this past year for the Bruins in b-ball?</p>
<p>yeah, bourne is right. RECENTLY (a word that UCLA fans seem to have conveniently forgotten) we almost pulled off the nigh impossible trifecta. So thats a load of crap trying to highlight our diving success and saying we can’t win anything else.</p>
<p>The fact remains that UCLA has over 2.5 times NCAA national championships than Texas, granting them historical superiority.</p>
<p>Now, to the “recent” argument</p>
<p>Since 2000, UCLA has 21 national championships compared to UT’s paltry 7. Once again, you are in correct. In fact, UCLA has 3 times as many national championships RECENTLY, up from 2.5 times historically.</p>
