Wow, shocked. Most average kids I know want a big rah rah school. Michigan is the only one here that has that.[/quote]

If "big rah rah" means a lot of school spirit and sports, UCLA has a ton of it too.  DD graduated last year.[/quote]

Winning sports. UCLA doesn't really have that for the major sports, unless you are counting women's basketball.[/quote]

UCLA: 124 NCAA championships, across 20 different sports (including football, baseball and of course men’s and women’s basketball)

Michigan: 39 NCAA championships, across 10 different sports (including football, baseball, and men’s basketball)

On top of those lil’ inconvenient details, UCLA also whomp whomps all over Michigan when it comes to academic reputation, and has for decades.[/quote]

Here’s a lil’ inconvenient detail that the UCLA booster failed to mention. Michigan has always had, and still does, a higher PA score at USNWR since the rankings started way back in the eighties.   You know that score that actually shows “academic reputation” among peer institutions.  Michigan whomp whomps UCLA in this most important metric.  [/quote]

If I wanted to attend college in flyover country, freeze my ass off alongside an army of mediocre in-state jamokes and annoying mouthbreathers from NY/NJ central casting, and spend my life defending my alma mater’s reputation based on rankings that have been MIA since before I was born, you’re right - Michigan would probably be a decent target school. Hail, indeed.[/quote]

Hmm.  How do you know the slogan? Jamokes?  What prestigious school did you go to?  [/quote]
