Maybe it's due to the fact I graduated from the UT system, but I thought it was well known that UT Austin had a top notch CS program.

I think it's probably if you go to a top 10 school, you know of the other top 10 schools for your program. As a CompSci undergrad at Georgia Tech I knew of UT, etc. Even if you don't go there for undergrad, there's still a possibility of going there for post-grad and people talk.

Well for my part it's probably because I'm Canadian and don't need to know this type of knowledge:)

Though judging by the negative votes on my post I guess I'm being punished for my ignorance.

I thought I made a decent contribution to back up the original posters claim. I guess its true that no good dead goes unpunished:)

Sorry to hear about the response. Hopefully I didn't come off as being negative. I thought maybe I was learning something as well. Different people have different experiences. I myself don't know much about Canada except that it appears to be a beautiful place I want to visit some day.
