Big 3: Nicest Sounding Name?

[blu2blu]

I don't think that Excelsior sounds much more like a diploma mill than the other 2, I just think it sounds kind of cheesy

This is pretty much what I have been trying to say the entire time, good work.

As for the New York bashing that came from me going completely off topic after reading the SNL comments and the Excelsior explanations. As for 9/11 and Hurricane Katrina those were national tragedies. The attacks were not a personal shot at NYC but America as a whole. Those are beyond the scope of this thread.

I visited some of my wife's family in "upstate" New York and while I agree it was rural you can't deny that NY is a blue state through and through. I couldn't order sweet tea in any of the restaurants but that's a personal complaint. Maybe that is where my dislike for NY comes in. Second digression: what the heck is "upstate" anyway? In my experience that means any place that isn't NYC. Is that true? No one ever says upstate California or upstate Florida. Weird. I did get the opportunity to meet some New York rednecks. Ever met a redneck with a New York accent? Hard not to smile, lol!

I grew up in Texas, the greatest nation on earth, so I'm inclined to not like any state. Don't take it personally.
