By the way, there is no Tastee-Freez in Mo-town, but there will probably be a couch burning someplace where you can toast your weenie after WVU kicks your alma mater's ass in football this fall.
WVU isn't even in the same league as my Alma Mater. Only was a threat to Miami back in 1994. Besides this is a party school thread...Anyone who can't take the heat needs to get out of the frying pan. But hey, good looking out, maybe you can hand me some horseradish for me to put on my oysters after Miami shows you who is boss this season!

It's college football my friend, not brain surgery and I am not out to hurt anyone. But, The Miami Hurricanes are!

Basketball, Football, Lacross, Soccer programs are among the best in the nation. back to back Final Four appearances won 1 title. top 25 rank football team. top rank Lacross, soccer. Especially ranked in top 25 engineering schools. Top 10 in Business, top 5 in aerospace engineer....you name it, the school got it all. And the kids in UMD know how to have fun too.
lol. I know. I live in MD and a zillion kids from my school turn down their other schools to go there for the in-state tuition.....I think the last graduating class had 239 admitted and 104 went there. It works as my safety school.

And of course, I'm aware of their good sports program, although I don't play those myself. UMD-CP is probably high up on the list of party schools, even if they're not top 10.

Some stuffy princeton review guys or PLAYBOY! Who ya gonna believe???
You're all not even close when it comes to Wisconsin eh!...

Which leads us straight into the legend which has sprung up around this famed list.
Then there's the computer bulletin board-fueled story about the magazine (usually Playboy) that was ranking the Top 10 Party Schools in the country. Students at the University of Wisconsin were taken aback when their school didn't rate even an honorable mention; after all, everyone knows about the legendary cheesehead antics that go on in Madison. But when the kids contacted the magazine, they were told: "We don't rank professionals."


Update: Playboy published another top party school list in 2006, naming University of Wisconsin-Madison No. 1 in its study of "books, babes and beer."

"From books to babes to beer, Playboy magazine believes that when you say Wisconsin, you’ve said it all.

In its upcoming May 2006 issue, to hit newsstands this Friday, Playboy magazine ranked the University of Wisconsin No. 1 in its list of top 10 party schools, a Playboy representative said Tuesday.

“At the University of Wisconsin, students have the best of both worlds,” Playboy Publicity Manager Theresa Hennessey said. “They get a great education and have great social opportunities available to them.”

This is only the third time in Playboy’s history that it ranked “top party schools,” and the first since November 2002.

According to Hennessey, Playboy editors based their party school rankings on informal surveys of students and professors at 250 North American universities.

Hennessey said Playboy ranked schools based on a number of categories besides drinking and partying, including academics, athletic programs, school pride and the “local scene.”

And after Playboy editors added it all together, Hennessey said they believed UW was the most deserving of the top spot.

The ranking is the latest in “party school” distinctions UW has garnered over the years, including the No. 1 “party school” ranking by the Princeton Review this past year.

While UW administrators said these rankings are “cause for concern,” they also said that the rankings demonstrate the “diverse opportunities” available on campus."
