The Aguilar Saga

Toppmeyer sucks ass and doesn't belong in Knoxville.

 

When public funding for schools keep getting cut tuition hikes covers the short fall. Now it certainly seems like a lot of money goes to building fancy buildings, but the state cutting funding is certainly a big part of sky rocketing tuition costs.

 

He's a whiny little turd. He went off on me on twitter once when I made an offhand comment about how hard it was to read his article because of all the pop ups, pop unders, pop in the middle of the screen ads that USA Today runs. You'd have thought I called his momma a commie or something after his long-winded, uber-defensive rant of a reply. I think I told him to just block me next time and put us both out of our misery or questioned his reading comprehension or something. He's a turd.

 

As far as Aguilar, I'm coming around to the opinion of screw eligibility, but I like anarchy.

 

Does anybody NEED 7-8 years to finish college? No.

Did I TAKE 7-8 years to finish college? [uck fay] yeah I did and had a great ass time doing it.

 

I laughed because I finished with like 160 credit hours over 5 + years.

 

Ok Stetson Bennett

 

Putting something out that pisses off fans is the only way anyone is going to read his drivel. It’s about all these guys have left.

 

I was able to do that at Tennessee, mom worked at Vandy and they paid x amount towards tuition at the time too.

 

And for all Tennessee students it can be completely free through Tennessee Promise/Achieves. I’m 100% certain that if it had been available to me, my parents would have made me go that route, because obviously, I was not ready to go straight to a 4 year. Hence why it took me 7 years.

 

I hate that mother[uck fay]er

 

I don’t really celebrate anybody losing their jobs but what kills me every time this happens is how almost every other journalist circles the wagons to tell us all how horrible it is

"Journalist"

 

Yep, I worked part time and paid for my school. Started in 87 (still on quarters my first year) and it was $500 or so a quarter (cannot remember, getting old).

Now a full time job wouldn't even pay your tuition.

 

I was on the 8 year plan myself

Class of 95

 

Shes 13 and if things don’t change dramatically this will be the route my daughter takes.

The 16 year old will be fine and will probably push himself to graduate in 3 years knowing him.

 

I called mine the 5 football season plan. Then tacked another one on in grad school.

 

I worked full time during summer and winter breaks and up 30 hrs during the semester and still couldn't break even back in the 2000's. It has more than doubled since then.
