Can you point out where I claimed to be the most informed anywhere?

Yes. Let me go through all 2,052 of your posts to do that.

But FYI -- misinterpreting EE-BO's post does not happen because of a lack of familiarity with UT. I've been in TX for 12 years, 4.5 of them in the Austin area. It was a poorly worded sentence.
There's a difference between having friends and associates all over the country and having close relationships where you end up spending a lot of time with those people and even visit those schools regularly. It's a very insular and small world EW talks about. It's not the final word on all things that go on at a particular campus, but if you're part of that scene you've got a pretty good idea of how things are in that little part of the world.

I live in DFW and frequently travel to Austin, Houston, and San Antonio. I have been to campuses in all of those cities more time than I can remember. That doesn't mean that I should be the go-to guy when it comes to campus culture. EW seems to pop up anytime anything Southern is brought up, and he speaks definitively about the campuses.

And "how things are" in the Greek bubble =/= campus culture. Y'all should know that.

What he's talking about is traditional NIC/NPC campus culture at these southern schools, and from my experience he's been right about the schools he talks about. I don't think I've seen him claim to be the all knowing oracle of all things having to do with each of those schools. Just experienced with a particular slice of them.

By the way, I do feel particularly dirty having defended EW, but you're kicking at him for something he hasn't claimed to be.

No evidence, then.

Exactly.
