Pharmacy??
must be considering community college degrees that get you counting pills and filling bottle


Unless you're a compounder, that's pretty much what pharmacists are.  I know a guy who was a compounder and got shut out by new federal regulations for clean-rooms a few years ago.  He and people like him couldn't afford those, so he had to just be a pill-counting monkey, as he called it.  Said he went to school and became a pharmacist to make compounds, that's what the real trade was, in his opinion.  Said any idiot can count pills and fill bottles, but that's all smaller, independent pharmacists can do now.

Well, of course, I actually saw Texas at 11 and figured this was an attempt to rile up Texicans.  For me, rankings either are based on something objective, or are just opinions.  And the objective part can be subjective, like how variables are weighted.

Anyway, ...

Most empirical lists, such as the ones @medinabuckeye1 posted about all-time various rankings, or all-time wins, or things like that, I've noticed LSU is routinely just outside the top 10.  In that 11-15 range.  They seem like decent ways to conceptualize a magical bullshit "Best Program In History" list.  If somebody wants to weight MNC's, fine, but I don't have any advice on how to do it.  

I forget, but I think Texas is usually in the top 10 of empirical lists.  

So I immediately saw LSU in the top 10, Texas outside of it, and didn't look any further.  Somebody threw a bunch of logos together and generated some clicks.

I can't see the list graphic that CD posted, sometimes on my work computer our firewall blocks various images and other external sources.  

But I'll assume from the responses that it's a slight to Texas.  And therefore I am suitably enraged and declare it to be "total bulljive."

Yeah, his stuff is very good, bearing in mind the AP rankings are ... what they are, but still, they are based on something tangible, and the rankings LOOK reasonable, to me.

Obviously the list of Blue Bloods is subjective, mostly, but I have most SEC elite programs just outside my own list.  LSU, UGA, Tenn, maybe Auburn, all quite good programs, but not historically elite.  I consider Texas and OU to be BBs.  OSU, USC, Nebbie, ND, UM, Bama ... PSU is just outside IMHO.  

But of course my list is also opinion.

They have Texas at 11 behind Florida, UGA, LSU ... the rest of the list is semi OK, I think, I didn't look hard.

For what?  All time "best program?"  All time "arrogant fans?"  I don't know the context of the list.  But if we're outside the Top 10 in "all time arrogant fans" then I'm even more angry.  We should at least be in the Top 5 for that one.

I believe Texas is in the top 7 or 8 in both all time wins and all time win percentage.  Those are typically the "objective" criteria one could use in order to rank all time best programs.

I'd switch PSU and UNL. The latter has played its way out of the Bluebloods since 2001.

Claims to be that.  The one below might be accurate.

Most things like this, esp on FB, have purposeful mistakes to garner engagement.
The one thing people like to do even more than get mad and react is point out errors.
