WSJ’s 2024 Best Colleges rankings

The Wall Street Journal published the rankings for the best colleges in the country. These new rankings are largely based on outcomes; essentially WSJ is trying to gauge/rank where best your dollars invested in a college education are likely to pay off the most. They do make adjustments for demographic/socio-economic and other factors. Student satisfaction and diversity scores also weighted.

So, the ones I was interested in:
LSU - 199
ULM - 357
UL-Lafayette - 383
La Tech - finished outside the top 400

Take from that what you will.

ULM vs A&M Prediction

I want to be optimistic about this game. Jiyas legs will help a bit in this game. I believe our Defense will play hard and hold their own. I worry about lack of sustained long drives by our offense that will result in alot of field time for the defense. If there was ever a time to run it up this would be it. Petrino is a scumbag like that. Dont see Jimbo slowing down either with the heat he is under. I believe we play tough but get worn down late. They add meaningless TDs late in the game. Take our medicine and move on.

A&M - 48
ULM - 10

We will still be 8-4

Some Positives

I've been as a big a critic as anyone on here about some areas off the field we've been slacking in, but after a trip to campus this weekend I thought it was fair to give credit where credit is due.

I always come/exit the back way from Old Sterlington Road and haven't been through the front of campus in years. The remodeling of the buildings, especially the new HUB look great. I work on many college campuses as part of my job and ours is looking as up-to-date or better than anyone around our size.

The bookstore has made a huge improvement on the variety of product they offer. The quality of product is much improved as well. I may have bought 1 or 2 shirts there over the years, but saw several this week I wanted. They had over a dozen different Adidas options which we've always begged for.

The scoreboard update and the new in-game graphics and fan interaction segments are much better than before. The fan interaction "contests" and videos, etc. really do improve the game experience during breaks in action.

Overall, we still have a long way to go but taking a step back and looking at it, the improvements over the last couple of years have been nice.
