my Mountaineers are #4 baby!

[ClassWarrior]

1. Bucky Badger's #3.

NGU.

[sasquatch]

2. Ohio University made #5

When I was a freshman in high school I was told that there was a drug sweep that kicked up 500lbs of marajuana.

[davidinalameda]

4. I believe it

I've partied a few times in Athens

[Hand]

17. So do I!

Three years of grad school there--I HATED Sunday because the bars were closed... :party: :beer: This was back in the early 70s, when sex was still legal, and there was plenty to be had. Ai yi yi...

ON EDIT: Then there was the potent and readily available Meigs County Green. Aaaaaaaah... :woohoo:

3. Only in the USA is 'partying' considered a qualification for school

criteria.

[sir_captain]

9. Only because in most of the rest of the world

they have so little work to do at University that everyone can party as much as they want to

[tjwmason]

22. My university boasted in its prospectus

that the town had the highest density of pubs for any town in the U.K.

[MountainLaurel]

5. I'm sure Hardesty's blood pressure just shot up

Considering how hard he's been working at getting rid of that image.

Morgantown, where if the keg hasn't been tapped by 9 am, it's a wasted Saturday.

:evilgrin:

[davidinalameda]

14. he's done a lot to work on the image

but face it, WVU is and will always be a party school

and the earliest I ever started drinking on a Saturday was 8:30 am

It was for one of the Pitt games.

I was hammered by the 3rd quarter

[MountainLaurel]

15. I missed all that

Being in marching band. We had the Kool-Aid Rule: no alcohol 24 hours before an event. A lot of people broke it, but I did only once: You only have to have one splitting hangover headache while standing in front of 55 trumpet players and 30 percussionists before you learn that lesson.

[davidinalameda]

18. when were you at WVU

I was there from 86-88 and again in the early 90s

[Strawman]

6. Sparty's not on the list?

I think I need to go back there for another 6 years and get shit straightened out.

[supernova]

7. Wow! No East Carolina University

I'm surprised. :crazy:

[driver8]

8. When I was in college, we partied with some Wisconsin girls from

Madison -- holy cow could those girls drink!!

I am also surprised that ECU isn't on the list.

[bugslsu9]

10. LSU is left out to make y'all feel better

It was the original Playboy professional party school after being the best for a decade. They decided to give others a chance.

[davidinalameda]

13. that may be true

but WVU was the all time Playboy party school

[fishnfla]

11. I think the partying in Madtown is more than just drinking

I mean, ever tried the brownies at Mifflin Street? Near as I can remember, anyway. :eyes:

[dean_dem]

12. Christ, I can just picture the W&L-ers...

a bunch of Birkenstock-wearing, Dave Matthews-listening Republicans. Sounds like a party to me.

[underpants]

19. Really-Washington and Lee?

I thought all they did was complain to the student ethics board.

Washington and Lee?

[Rowdyboy]

16. I have friemds whose 21 year old daughter goes to Ole Miss and

doesn't drink or smoke. She the perpetual designated driver for her friends and her parents think she's nuts (they both partied their way through college). She's just a little different.

Personally, I think Ole Miss would be a nightmare-way too much small town conservatism and MASSIVE Greek )fraternity/sorority) influence.

[davidinalameda]

20. and it's in Mississippi

:scared:

[Rowdyboy]

24. Babe, I'm ALREADY in Mississippi!

And it can indeed be :scared:

But most of the time its just :banghead:

[davidinalameda]

25. poor thing

come out to the promised land--San Francisco

of course you have to deal with cowards passing themselves off as democrats here in California but that's everywhere though

[underpants]

21. Morgantown:"What do you guys do for fun around here?"

"Get drunk and ride the monorail"

WOOOOOOOOOOHOOOOOOOOOOOO

Oh and generally act like a**es at the football game.

I see that the 'Eers finally couldn't hide anymore and are going to play Marshall. Oh that is going to be so much fun.

[Squeech]

23. Once upon a time

I pretended to be a student at Brown University. We used to claim that we didn't pay tuition, we paid a cover charge.

The administration in their wisdom decided to put the frat houses on campus, the better to keep an eye on them. The result was, they defined acceptable social behavior. And their standards were pretty abysmal. There was one frat called Toad Hall-- I forget what their original Greek affiliation had been, but they were so horrible that their national had cut them loose years previous.

There was one footballer whose boast was that he never drank fewer than 100 beers in the course of a weekend. He would start immediately after his last class on Friday and just pound 'em for the next 60-some hours.

This may all be small potatoes to you, but it sure impressed me. And I don't mean favorably. I never finished school.
