Shit guys...UN_'s dick is bigger than ours....

Did anyone look at the Time comparison tool? It's obviously flawed, as they only only list the following for NDSU:

Alf Clausen
American composer and conductor


Rick Berg
American politician


Joseph Steffan
American lawyer


Craig Dahl
Player of American football


Neil Wagner (baseball)
Baseball player



Obviously, there is more famous living NDSU alumni that should be added to that list.

The Time tool is inaccurate.

Gus Bradley may be a good one to add to the list...

Mike Jacobs to receive honorary doctorate from UND. That will surely up their ranking.

I believe the Forum IS a rag

If any of those brilliant clowns at the Hearld were any good, they wouldn't be working for Forum communications. Honestly, they could just as well hire porterhouse to be their editor in chief.

That would be interesting. Our one newspaper is more influential than our other one, but please don't quit buying that one.

I am just shocked an amazed at how UN_ fans are taking this article to prove their relivence. "See, we are better, despite all you have done, we are better then you." Man, they are dilusional. This article talks about relivance, but then just lists famous people who went to (not necessarily graduated) from both schools. It just seems like the research done for this article is lazy. I have no problem citing current or former congressman and people like them as reasons to prove influence; but to list professional athletes is just stupid. How much influence do they have that directly relates to to university? Just how do they show their influence? By making a lot of money playing sports? Do any of the these pro athletes at UN_, or NDSU for that matter, give and money back to their school? I bet the total dollars is low. I would argue that people in business, especially ones in the local community are more influential then them. But if UN_ fans want to pump up this article to somehow show that they are better then us, go ahead; they just look pathetic doing it.

The issue I have is the fact that the Time "comparison tool" uses Wikipedia, which is obviously missing some key alumni...This whole thing is as credible as the stuff _arrel1976 or SueVolley posts on SS.com.

Unfortunately there is a whole generation of young people in middle school up to college for whom Wiki is treated by educators as an equally credible source as the World Book Encyclopedia was for generations before.

Sadly, I see Wiki treated as a respected source everyday. TIME is only reinforcing what I see all the time.
