OK, as you know, I'm not a fan of either university...Don't hate em, but I don't love em either. And scottsdale people are well...i stand by my previous statements... I work off probabilities and according to my experience, scottsdale is snobsdale... <quote><b>"The only people who refer to Scottsdale by such names, are those people that can't live there....many of those people end up in Tempe"</quote></b> Or in paradise valley...which is much better than scottsdale...
No.....people in PV don't refer to Scottsdale by those names.... they refer to them as PV hopefuls...;-)
