Scanning the posts today, I've come to the conclusion that probably less than 5 % of the posters are college graduates. Nothing else explains the lack of language skills and analytical reasoning.

Welcome to VolNation, the middle school looney bin of all college fan bases.

Being someone that went to college but did not get his degree because of family and monetary reasons I can say this with clear and concise knowledge

College degree does not equate to being intelligent

Its cool to think since you paid for 4 years of extra knowledge that you may somehow have superior intellect to others. That really depends on the degree that you obtained

Some of the brightest minds in history were never college educated

Haha no joke, just a bunch of speculators and people who want to freak out about a coach who hasn't had a week with a team yet saying UT football is over.

Lol, I'd suggest someone drawing that conclusion based on nothing but anecdotal guesswork and making it public ... probably missed the whole critical thinking piece that is supposed to be the bedrock of the collegiate experience.

I've come to the conclusion that the average age of most of these girls is 13. JMO

Your just trying to make yourself feel like you are in the majority.

I have to agree with this. Only lack of money stopped me from finishing. My family struggled heavily when I was a young adult.

Now I do agree that this board is overly immature.

The entire tone of this thread is one of arrogance and condescension. A person's educational background should not be the qulifier for being able to post on any internet message board. If Op is too intellectually superior to mix with the great unwashed here on VN, I suggest you go start your own board and set the standards wherever you please.

It seems that he is having trouble associating with us commoners

Our use of improper punctuation, grammar, and syntax is ruining his internet experience

if you're a college grad, you likely didn't major in statistics.

I have a BS in Biz Admin from UT, but I also know the world is full of over educated idiots. Is that better than an under educated idiot? You can learn to put good sentences together and spell with a spell check by the 5th grade, if you apply yourself.

My problem is not the under educated posters. I have more respect for them than the overly emotional educated fans who believe in fairy tales, jump on the emotional waves, and just run their mouths bashing everyone in sight just to get attention.

Those are exceptions, not the rule. If you look at large companies, I would be willing to gamble that 95% of their CEO's, COO's, and upper level management all have master's degrees at the minimum.

And what do movie stars, a tennis legend, and a country singer have to do with this conversation? This has to do with intelligence, not being talented and dedicated to your craft.

Now I'm also certainly not saying that having a college degree means you're intelligent, or that not having one means you're an idiot. I know plenty of people who graduated college that I'm surprised don't forget to breathe. I'm just arguing that while those are good examples, they do not mean anything unless you take a huge sample of people in their professions.

I will do anything to insure that my kids get their college degree just because more opportunities in life open up for a person with a degree
