I'm not. All I said was that 33girl and DF were criticizing his reference to podunk state schools.

They were not saying that he was wrong about the culture at A&M, they were criticizing the way he said it. So a defense of what he said about the culture at A&M wasn't addressing what they were complaining about. I was just trying to get everyone on the same page. My yardstick of suckage and Bieber references were simply attempts to keep it light. If they failed in that purpose, I apologize for generating more confusion.

As for reading too much into his statement, as DF indicated, that's a carry-over from another conversation elsewhere in GCLand.

Believe me -- I do take your word for it that he's right about A&M, and for the most part I don't care who considers what school podunk.

And I'm particularly glad we agree about the Bieber.
