FWIW, my husband has two degrees from the University of Texas and a Master's from Yale - he in no way thinks his education at Yale was superior to that at UT, although he will admit the Yale libraries are AWESOME. And he says that the best thing to help his quality of life wasn't getting an Ivy League degree - it was marrying a Gamma Phi .
I love that - here is a man who has his head on straight - he loves his wife and his Longhorns!!!!
This whole conversation is so weird. I don't want to knock Bama but lets not pretend it is an elite university, even in the South. The elite southern colleges are Duke, Vandy, Emory, Rice, Davidson and one or two others. The Southern kids with the smarts and the $ went to these schools or went North for their education. Princeton always had a substantial group of Southerners. Even John C Calhoun, who was as Southern as you can get went to Yale.
