| Got this off of a description of a facebook group, "Sorry USC, the grass actually IS greener on our side." I found it kind of funny so I'm going to post it up. I still love all my USC friends, it's just that your school sucks! LOL
The scattered nature
of UCLA groups demonstrating our superiority over USC requires some
sort of consolidation, hopefully this is it.
I'm not even going
to go as far as saying I'm sick of USC students claiming their school
is better academically/athletically than UCLA. It's kind of funny.
USC’s
only claim as far as academics are concerned is their higher average
SAT scores. Take into account, however, that the averages USC posts are
calculated differently than the averages UCLA posts. Primarily, USC
averages the highest scores their admitted students received of all
their attempts (and we’ll give it to USC students, the weekly allowance
their parents gives them was enough to pay for the SAT thrice.), while
UCLA does not. This is primarily because we don’t need to brag about
SAT scores for the following reasons…
High School Standing:
UCLA:
* 97% in top 10th of graduating class
* 100% in top quarter of graduating class
* 100% in top half of graduating class
USC:
* 85% in top 10th of graduating class
* 95% in top quarter of graduating class
* 100% in top half of graduating class
So,
for the most part, we graduated high school with higher academic
standing than USC students. Now, they claim to have more merit scholars
(I'm too lazy to actually confirm that fact). REALLY? MERIT SCHOLARS?
If
USC students want to claim their living in the ghetto prepares them for
real life, let’s consider a real life award... how about.. the NOBEL
PRIZE? No one after high school cares for a merit scholar. UCLA has, to
date, graduated or employed 10 Nobel Prize laureates. Don't believe me?
Google some of them:
* Ralph Bunche
* Bruce Merrifield
* Glenn T. Seaborg
* William Sharpe
* Paul Boyer
* Donald Cram
* Louis Ignarro
* Willard Libby
* Bertrand Russell
* Julian Schwinger
Oh,
but USC has some Nobel Prize laureates too! Oh wait... they have... 1.
And he didn't graduate from USC, he worked there.... Congrats George
Olah. So we're looking at 10 times the amount of Nobel Prize laureates,
even though UCLA was founded 39 years after USC... hmm... way to have
better academics.
But USC sports kick the shit out of UCLA!
Right? Wait a second... if I recall... USC has a better football
team... but... didn't they lose in 2006..? Well, I'm sure they beat us
in other sports... like basketba... no... hmm... let's just look at
NCAA titles and decide.
#1 UCLA: 99
#2 Stanford: 93
#3 Southern California: 84
#4 Oklahoma State: 48
Now
I'm going to be fair. USC has strong athletics, beating the shit out of
Oklahoma State at 84-48. However, notice the top. It's not fair to say
UCLA SUCKS at sports if we're at the top; likewise it's not fair to say
USC sucks since they're... ok... nevermind. USC sucks.
I'll take a quote from the group "UCLA SUCKS AT EVERYTHING"
"Sure
Bruins, revel in your kid-proofed, PG-13 bubble of a neighborhood.
Meanwhile, we’ll thrive in the real world. Something about hearing
constant sirens reeks of legitimacy."
What I hear is bitching
and moaning from someone that was stupid enough to go to school in
South Central LA, and on top of that throw on a red shirt. There is
nothing PG-13 about Westwood, it's just a nice area, stop being
jealous. If it's so childish why are SC students always here? And
there's no pride in freakin constant sirens. Why don't you say
"Something about people getting shot constantly reeks of legitimacy"?
Nothing
about living in the ghetto helps you thrive in the real world, assuming
you're not going to graduate USC 200,000 dollars in debt to become a
gang member. How does interacting with drug dealers and gangs help
someone become a better... I dunno... grocery store bagger, or whatever
you do when you graduate with a degree from USC.
So invite all of your friends, be proud to be a Bruin! After all, the grass is greener on our side.
I Love UCLA!
