Yes they do. Most people don't know this and OU is better known for Halloween. |

OU's School of Journalism is top 5 in the country. Does OSU even have one anymore?

I know that it was 7 or 8 in USN&WR--ten years ago. Where it is today? I have no idea. Any reference on the top 5 ranking? I do know that it's never been considered one of the "Big 3" journalism programs in the country (Columbia, Northwestern and Missouri).
I'll get back to my original point. A journalism school--no matter how good--does not a quality university make. It's a peripheral discipline. It is not a fundamental core to any university--even Columbia or Northwestern. It might be a great journalism school at OU--and by all accounts it is--but it goes next to nowhere in making OU a great university.
And FWIW, I went over to the Scripps homepage and looked at the admissions requirements for Scripps (25ACT/top 15% of h.s. class) and comparing them to Ohio State's freshman class statistics for last year, about 90% of our freshmen could have gotten into Scripps had they wanted to. Just because Scripps is highly selective relative to the rest of OU does not mean that it's highly selective in the broader sense.

Yea, but I'll nominate them for a Darwin Award afterwards. So, they'll have that going for them.

OU + positive rushing yards = moral victory

Even though I have 2 of the last 3 posts in this thread, I still have fewer posts here than in the Official Thread regarding the USC Game.
I say this only to preemptively deflect any suggestion that I am part of the following "issue": This thread is longer than the USC Game Thread. Seriously.

Well, this is the game before USC, shouldn't it warrant more posts? One game at a time?
