PC board exploding

Clothfrog is going after everyone today

Extremely difficulty? That explains quite a bit.

Please provide some documentation to support your claims. I personally believe that you are making this up.

Uh skippy,

Pulled right off the link. Nothing made up. Straight black and white.

Uh skippy,

Pulled right off the link. Nothing made up. Straight black and white.

Are you refering to my link? Because it shows:
Avg Math 623-583 advantage UCONN
Reading - 594-576 Advantage UCONN
Writing: PC=590, UCONN 550-650 range
ACT, 27-25 UCONN

and UCONN's avg GPA was not reported.

Wait til Hurley gets his recruits in at URI. Providnce will be the third best program in Rhode Island, for sure.

I read all of those links. It takes quite an imagination to make the claims that you made.

You need to have a bit more faith in Bryant's potential.

Not to get into the pissing match going on - it's weird how any post about PC results in the exact same thread we had a few days/weeks/months/years ago, but the difference between very difficult and moderately difficult isn't the caliber of students, it's the volume of admissions. PC has 3,852 undergrads and UConn has 17,815. If you kept reading and were any good at math, you would see that 61% of applicants are accepted at PC and 47% at UConn. Even that is a flawed stat - it just means UConn gets a lot more applicants (27,247 vs 9,873) and doesn't suggest either is a better school. Bottom line is Connecticut has been investing a ton into UConn and it's on a steady climb up and is already a very good school.

I'd say this discussion backs up UConn having superior math and reading scores.

First link is BS...site is a joke
The next two links are hard data reported by independent sources. Take the time to read the data; then get back to me.

Again, one is extremely difficult; the other is moderately so.

 

[IMind]

Really? PCs GPA and SAT were higher; uconns act was higher. PCs admission status was extremely difficulty; UConns was moderately difficult. What does that tell you?

No place that admits 61% of it's applicants is "extremely difficult" to get into.

 

[PRHusky]

Sean, it is 2012, soon to be 2013, not 1992. UConn today is a better school than PC. That does not mean PC is a bad school. But frankly, no one outside of the Northeast has ever heard of PC. And that is OK; PC is a small, catholic regional school with a different mission than a national research university like UConn.

 

[Northbound]

I always find this humorous because I don't remotely consider PC a rival or an institution that I have distain for. I consider rivals Pitt and SU, for the simple fact that UCONN has been battling them for Big East supremacy and the reputation as the best in the Big East nationally. Just because UCONN may lose to Rutgers, the Hall or PC once a year or every other year or so doesn't make them hated rivals it makes them competitors that have scholarship athletes that have talent and can on occasion rise up and beat what has become a much more highly regarded program. Once upon a time PC was a rival as was UMass, that time is in the rear view mirror. It's like saying Iowa State is a rival of Kansas because they beat the Jayhawks occasionally and are in close geographic proximity, it's a bit absurd.

Arguing about what school is better is pretty funny, I personally could give a , I don't care if any school is ranked better or worse as long as I've got a gig that I enjoy and I've figured out a way to make a decent wage. I know plenty of dudes that have gone to directional schools that make bank so I think that school rankings are meaningless unless it's an Ivy or schools like U of Chicago, MIT, RPI, etc. that get you into a consideration set of an employer the minute your get out and I don't believe that UCONN or PC are such school unless there is a specialty that one school is known for (i.e. I think UCONN has a good school of education).

Sean hold your powder hoss, Cooley can recruit, can he coach, we'll see, the last few games aren't a great endorsement of the in game ability, but anyone can have a bad few games. I'd welcome more folks to the nationally relevant party, because I think that at the end of the day a UCONN kid will be much different than a PC kid. The UCONN kid is going to be about having high standards and meeting very high expectations, the PC kid is about reaching new heights and blazing a new trail to success.

But they are taking over the Northeast with the best coach in the country.

The fact that you can even list those schools is astounding to me

the more line i do just makes me want to list things. u know?

 

[Pudge]

I'm telling you ... the more I read this Providence stuff, the more I feel they are drifting right into the Siena territory. Think about it: good decent Private school. Occasionally good hoop team. OK City to hang out in.

UConn is so much more these days. If Sean had a brain, he would see the advancement of one New England school way beyond all the others. We never claimed to be on the path of BC ... staring down the Charles at BU, MIT & Harvard. Just a really solid research University with a big wealthy state finally putting real investment in the place. In 20 years, that gets you far.

Hfd,

All your rankings show is that you are a fantastic speller.

[alexd]

Bishop Hendrickson????

 

[mauconnfan]

Is that a prep in the RI area?

 

[Yonick]

Hfd,

Sean, it's New Years eve. Take your wife/sig. other out and have a good time. Your not convincing anyone, on this board, about whatever PC can bring to the table. Go out and get drunk, or whatever.
See you @ Gample in about a month.

How is this debate still going on?
