If you went to college, where did you go? Who was your school's biggest rival?

[I Have A Dream]

I'll start: I went to Penn State - University Park campus.



I think that our biggest rival was The University of Pittsburgh (Pitt).

[MistressOverdone]

1. University of Delaware

Villanova

[GoneOffShore]

153. When were you there?

I was at UofD from 68-71.

Three years in the theatre dept. And lived in Colburn Hall opposite what was then the student center.

[chemenger]

2. I went to Pitt

:thumbsup: and you (Penn Staters) were our rivals :thumbsdown:.



Actually, I spent my first two years at PS - McKeesport Campus then transferred to Pitt for last to years. I know ... I'm conflicted.

[auburngrad82]

3. I went to Auburn and our biggest rival was Alabama

But my brother went to Georgia so UGA vs AU was a big rivalry for us.

[av8rdave]

74. Funny...my son goes to Alabama and says biggest rival is Auburn

Amazing symmetry in nature!

[pagerbear]

4. Pfeiffer College (now University) in Misenheimer, NC

Also grad school at Indiana University and University of Miami. (But I still don't have a grad degree.)

[pagerbear]

6. Rival: Catawba College in Salisbury, NC, I think.

Or Davidson College. I dunno. You can't swing a cat in NC without hitting a private liberal arts college, usually church-related.

[DS1]

5. Framingham State College. We had no football rivals

The team sucked so bad the last year, they lost every single game, and at the LAST game went up against another team that had also lost every game, and got thrashed by said team 48-0.

ouch.

[Lyric]

7. Was just accepted to WVU (West Virginia University)

Biggest rivals are Pitt, Virginia Tech, and Maryland.

[Wetzelbill]

103. rock n' roll!

Congratulations!

[kwassa]

8. Rhode Island School of Design "The Nads"

Team cheer: Go, Nads, Go!

Rivals: prep school hocky teams

We were a powerhouse threat

[crim son]

136. Great school.

One of my favorite people in the world went there.

[NewWaveChick1981]

9. UNC-Chapel Hill.

I graduated in 1985. Biggest rivals were Duke University and NC State University. :hi:

[hiaasenrocks]

61. I hate NC State.

And I've always enjoyed seeing the UNC campus. Beautiful place.

Oh, and...Go Tigers! Down with the Gamecocks.

[fizzgig]

10. colorado state university

our biggest rival is probably the university of wyoming (the boarder war games, as they are called, are a big deal here), but we probably dislike the university of colorado more

[datasuspect]

11. i went to "state"

"tech" were our nefarious archrivals.

[LeftyFingerPop]

30. I went to...

The Sam Houston Institute of Technology (S.H.I.T.).

Our biggest rival was... Louis And Xavier Asses in Training Including Vaseline Education. (L.A.X.A.T.I.V.E.).

[regularguy]

37. Beat State!!!!!!!!

[Oeditpus Rex]

71. Reminds me of an old MAD bit

A parody of college football movies a la "Knute Rockne — All-American" old and new.

In the "old" version, the coach said, "This is gonna be tough! Look at this schedule! Tech, State, Tech State, State Tech, Tech State Teachers..."

:D

(In the "new" version, it was, "Look at this schedule! We play nothing but set-ups and pushovers! All the better to get the number-one ranking!")

[1gobluedem]

12. University of Michigan

Big rival = Ohio State.

Go Blue!

[huskerlaw]

13. University of Nebraska-Lincoln

Our biggest rival? Well...Colorado likes to think they are, but the win-loss record is too lopsided (in our favor, of course). Actually, when I was in school, our biggest rivalry was any team from Florida. ;)

[momophile]

27. I was just wondering this before I read your post

I figured you all hated Oklahoma or Kansas more.
:hi:

[DrDan]

44. Kansas?

never Kansas . . .

[huskerlaw]

45. Actually,

I think if you define "rival" as "team you hate the most" Colorado probably would win, LOL.

Oklahoma is obviously our long-time, old school rival, but now it's more of a respect thing than a hatred thing. And Kansas? They're just annoying, I wouldn't say it's a rivalry, per se.

:hi:

[DrDan]

40. well as a life-long Husker fan I would have to say Oklahoma

even though I did go to school at USC

[huskerlaw]

41. I agree, long-term

but currently? It's actually kinda more Texas.

[DrDan]

43. yeah - probably - I am still in a Big-8 frame of mind

this whole Big-12 thing is just too much to figure out

[huskerlaw]

Ah, the Big 8

Those were the days.

I went to UNL from 1996-2003 (2 degrees, I'm not THAT slow) and during my time there, we managed to play all 3 major Florida teams for the national championship (or did while I was in high school). That's why I mentioned them in my original post.

Colorado still wins for team we hate the most, I think. Just because they're so easy to hate. But IMO, a real rivalry isn't that lopsided. That's why I think I'd have to go with Texas...they remain the team we gear up to beat every year as of late, and though the win-loss record isn't in our favor, it's at least usually a really good game.

[Deep13]

14. Worcester (MA) State College

It was a commuter school and no one gave a shit about school rivalries.

[deepthought42]

15. I went to Anne Arundel Community College...

and then Randolph-Macon Woman's College. No big rivals as far as I know.

[PRETZEL]

16. PSU Class of 81 here.

and most definately it was Pitt.

[I Have A Dream]

18. We were there at the same time.

:)

[PRETZEL]

77. That's cool.

I lived in the dorms (shunk hall) til senior year. Should have stayed there. Ended up with idio for a roommate (hint never room with someone from your home town).

[I Have A Dream]

105. I lived in Stephens Hall (South Halls) during my freshman year.

It was right across from the Cattle Car, which had the best subs that I've ever had. :9

I moved into an apartment after that.

Too bad about your roommate ruining your apartment experience. :(

[La Lioness Priyanka]

17. i went to nyu. columbia was our rival, i guess?

[Zoigal]

19. Washington U (St Louis)

St. Louis U was probably the biggest rival.

[crim son]

137. My sister went there.

Excellent school!

[crim son]

138. University of Oregon

but I wish I'd gone to Reed, like the poster above :P

Rival: Oregon State U, damn them to hell forever!

Oh brother, posted in the wrong place. I'm not going to let it disturb me though.

[LaurenG]

20. University of Texas El Paso - UTEP Miners

http://www.utep.edu/

our biggest rival was New Mexico State University - NMSU Aggies.
http://www.nmsu.edu/

[GalleryGod]

93. GLORY ROAD !

[EstimatedProphet]

21. MU-Columbia

And the big rival was KU

For grad school, Mississippi State, and the big rival was intelligence.

[Burma Jones]

22. Knox College, Galesburg, IL

Our biggest "Rival" was Monmouth College of Monmouth, IL.....

Monmouth began its college football rivalry with Knox College in Galesburg in 1888, making it the sixth oldest college football rivalry in the country. The two schools play annually for the Bronze Turkey trophy in November (originally on Thanksgiving). Monmouth leads the series with 56 wins, 50 losses and 10 ties.

[trackfan]

23. I went to UCLA, our big rival is a little school across town.

[DBoon]

34. you mean CalTech?

Has to be, UCLA and CalTech are the only accredited universities in the Los Angeles area

:evilgrin:

[Richardo]

36. Ba-ZING!

This Bruin Alum thanks you for that one :rofl:

[DrDan]

42. ahem - I am an alumnus of that cross-town "little school"

[GalleryGod]

94. You mean that Vocational Skool for Fartball Players and Murderers?

[unsavedtrash]

24. Alabama

Auburn is our biggest rival.

[bertha katzenengel]

25. Los Angeles Baptist College/BIOLA.

Yes. It's true. I went to a Baptist college. There I had my first lover. She turned out to be absolutely fucking nuts. Psychotic. Certifiable.

[trackfan]

60. A really nice girl from my HS (late 70s) went there, I think.

[bertha katzenengel]

63. May've crossed paths with my sister, who was there 78-80.

I was there 81-84.

[momophile]

26. the Cornhuskers are my school's rivals

I went to Univ. of Colorado at Boulder. I don't know if the Cornhuskers consider us their #1 rivals though. Anybody?

[cobalt1999]

28. University of Florida

here is a hint for the biggest rival...

"Why does the St. John's River in Florida flow north?" "Because Georgia SUCKS!"

[CottonBear]

56. Hey! You suck! Go Dawgs!

Dawgs hate Gators and Yellow Jackets! :evilgrin:

Gooooooooooooooooooooooooo Dawgs! Sic 'em! Woof, woof, woof! ;)

Signed, UGA graduate, Cottonbear

[RubyDuby in GA]

65. Hunker down you hairy dawg!

Or should I say simmer down! We're all friends here - except for any of those who went to Alabama.

:hi:

Signed,
Graduate of Dead to Me U

[GalleryGod]

95. AKA: "Gainseville"

as oposed to Tallahasse.

[Downtown Hound]

29. Humboldt State University

We didn't have any rivalries going on with anybody. Everybody just wanted our weed.

Hahahaha!

Besides, our football team sucked anyways. But we did have good basketball, volleyball, and rugby teams.

[XemaSab]

91. Humboldt alumna as well...

as far as rivalries, the natural resources departments were always taking on Davis, Berkeley, and Cal Poly.

'Cause Davis, Berkeley, and Cal Poly suck. :D

[RubyDuby in GA]

31. Dead to Me University

Also known as Georgia Southern University and this is why it is dead to me:


the President of the University invited him, along with the College Republicans.

Biggest rival - Furman


Someone from Furman help me out -- what is a purple paladin?

[DBoon]

32. UC Irvine

Biggest rival was our local landlord ;)

No football team by design

[helderheid]

33. NMSU

[Writer]

35. The University of Texas at Austin

Our rivals depend on when we are in the fall.

Around October: Univ. of Oklahoma

Come Thanksgiving: Texas A&M Univ.


HOOK 'EM!

[rockymountaindem]

38. Victoria College in the University of Toronto

Our biggest rivals were St. Michael's College in the University of Toronto, and York University. That second one didn't count for much as neither of our schools were really into sports that much, but we still made fun of York at every opportunity.

[DrDan]

39. SoCal -

UCLA and Notre Dame as rivals

[Reverend_Smitty]

46. I went to Rowan University

our biggest rival was probably The College of New Jersey. We had a fun little chant at the games "F-U-C-K T-C-N-J"...we were clever :P

[regularguy]

49. JINX!

Sorta.

[Reverend_Smitty]

50. lol...at least we are both Profs

[Lady President]

109. Washington & Jefferson College

I'm an alum of Washington & Jefferson College, and there wasn't a lot of love for Rowan. :)

Our biggest rival was probably Waynesburg just because they were so close geographically.

[regularguy]

47. Glassboro State College (NJ)

Not sure we had rivals, although it sometimes annoyed me that Universityy of Delaware students seemed to be getting a bit drunker than us. Must've been the availability of Everclear.

[geardaddy]

48. Hobart College - Geneva, NY

I wasn't aware of any rivalry. The lacrosse team (div III when I was there) won something like 11 straight national championships. Now the lacrosse team is div I, but all the other sports are div. III.

Go Camp Ho-Ho!

Edited to add this:

• National Championships: 1972-76-77-80-81-82-83-84-85-86-87-88-89-90-91-93
• Patriot Leauge Titles: 2000, 2002
• 25 NCAA Tournament Appearances

[underpants]

51. VCU biggest rival.....Duke

:bounce:

[IA_Seth]

52. School of Hard Knocks

Our main rival was known as "the man".

[I Have A Dream]

54. ...

:thumbsup:

I'm rooting against "The Man".

[ceile]

53. St. Edward's University

That's in Austin for those that have never heard of it. And since it's such a small school (no football team) we didn't really have a "rival".

[CatholicEdHead]

55. University of North Dakota

North Dakota State

[Goblinmonger]

70. Damn Straight UND!!!

When did you attend? I got my B.S.Ed in 88 and my M.S. in 92.

[HEyHEY]

57. The police

[DFW]

58. University of Pennsylvania

I don't recall that any other school considered us
important enough to be their rival.

Maybe the fact that we were located in West Philadelphia
was punishment enough in their eyes?

[Mz Pip]

59. UC Berkeley

Biggest rival - Stanfurd.

Go Bears.

Mz Pip
:dem:

[salin]

89. I refer to that downthread (in text not in title)

and the year when the mascots brawled and both had charges filed against them...

And as one duer used to say: "Grow Trees!" (the change in the Stanford mascot to officially a cardinal but in mascot world a "tree")

[billyskank]

62. The University of Warwick.

It does not have a rival that I knew of.

[Mr. Blonde]

64. Oklahoma State

For most things OU.

For wrestling which is the sport I cared about most, it was Iowa and Minnesota.

[SPKrazy]

99. Yay! Another OSU Grad!

OU suuuuuuuuuuucks!

or so we always wanted to believe

grad 1984

:hi:

[Mr. Blonde]

116. Don't worry

they still suck.

Soon to be grad, next May.

[SPKrazy]

119. Well hang in there man!

OSU wrestling has always been good!

and OU SUCKS!

good to know they still do! :D

[Adsos Letter]

66. Sonoma State University

I am returning there in August to complete my MA in History.

We have no rivals...

:hide:

[querelle]

67. McGill University

In Montreal. We had no rivals because we were simply the best. Oh those losers at Concordia University thought they were better than us, but they were nothing but insects compared to McGill.

Q

[Bjornsdotter]

87. I took a few classes

...there a long, long time ago. I loved it.

Cheers

[crim son]

135. Funny.

My STBE taught at McGill for a while. Physics. :hi:

[AwakeAtLast]

68. Ball State University

Muncie, Indiana



A favorite motto was "I would rather Ball U. than IU" :eyes:

[Wetzelbill]

102. well, at least your rival was Uterus University

I mean, it could have been worse. :) Probably not as bad as the lame effing joke I just made but still...

[AwakeAtLast]

128. It could have been that university that used to have a beaver for a mascot

I can't remember which one that was. :D

[Joe Fields]

69. Longview Community College, Rogers State College, UMKC..

They all three were wimpy schools. No one wanted to be any of their rivals.

Seriously, Longview and UMKC are located in Kansas City, MO. Rogers State College is in Claremore, OK. Hey, I just went to school. I didn't follow sports or who any rivals were. I wasn't into that scene.

[Squatch]

72. WSU Cougars and our biggest rivals were the UW Huskies

[Oeditpus Rex]

73. Community college

Hartnell College in Salinas, Calif.

Panthers. Grrr.

Our rival was Monterey Peninsula College — the Lobos. In the days when there was something called "school spirit" on community college campuses, MPC students would come to Salinas during the week of the Big Game and paint a yellow streak down the back of Beauregard, the granite panther statue in front of the main building.

I don't think anybody's done that since the '60s. :(

[TZ]

75. Penn State? And here I thought you were a nice person (LOL)

I went to the University of Maryland, College Park (go Terps!) and Penn State was annoyingly always beating us in football while I was there. My senior year we actually tied with them and that was a cause for victory. While I was there I think it was Penn State that was the biggest rival (and maybe somewhat University of Virginia a little). These days though..its definitely Duke.....:hi:

[I Have A Dream]

151. There are many things about me that you most assuredly would not like, my friend.

:hi:

Sure, why not?   Go Terps!

[TZ]

156. well thats what makes life interesting..

who wants to know people who are just clones of themselves? You and I would not see eye to eye on certain stuff, but thats all made up for by the willingness to say go terps!!;-)

[av8rdave]

76. Air Force Academy...biggest rivals Annapolis and West Point

[KamaAina]

78. Yale, although unlike Gee Dubya Bush '68, I made cum laude.

So there!

Our biggest rival, as you all know, is Hahvahd, which admitted the said Bush** into its business school after he had already demonstrated that he is a :dunce: , not to mention been turned town by his own state's public law school. :P

Hahvahd to Yale: "You may be winning, but you have to go back to New Haven!"

Yale to Hahvahd: "Sssssssssssssssssss!"

[Catshrink]

148. Boola boola

me too!

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

79. NC State and Duke

common enemy number 1: UNC-Chapel Hell

Go to Hell Carolina, go to hell!

[Tikki]

80. UCSB......

The Women Gauchos Basketball Team was quite good when I was there (1993-1995)....
Maybe Bakersfield was their competition?


Tikki

[femmocrat]

81. George Washington University, but....

I have no idea who their rival was... we didn't have football and no one went to the basketball games! Sports weren't a big deal when we were busy protesting the VN war.

[smtpgirl]

82. I'm going to MD and Duke & UNC are BIG rivals

not on campus though, virtual classroom, but I am very familiar with the College Park Campus. I grew up not far from there.

My mother went to UMD and so did my sister. I graduated at this house, Cole Field House, 6/6/78

[Fox Mulder]

83. I went to the University of Minnesota, Morris.

I don't think we even had a rival. I wouldn't know, though, as our sports teams lacked good qualities so I never paid any attention to our athletics department.

[Awsi Dooger]

84. USC

The rival is UCLA. I still have no idea how Notre Dame enters the discussion. We play the Bruins in every sport all year long. Notre Dame is one football game.

Regardless, I'm more of a Canes fan than SC fan. It wasn't exactly gambling rooting for USC. But attending every Canes home game for more than a decade when they absolutely sucked was a great investment that paid off. The rival is the Gators, too petrified to play Miami annually for the past 20 years. I mildly dislike the Bruins but the hatred for Florida is limitless.

[Mendocino]

85. Bowling Green

Rival-University of Toledo

[Gopens]

86. Texas A&M University

Traditional rival: University of Texas

More recent rival (because we can't beat them in anything, apparently): Texas Tech.

[salin]

88. DePauw vs Wabash - oldest continuing football rivalry in the country.

Used to be the oldest "West of the Alleghanies" - but the other rivalry (can't remember what it was) stopped playing within the last 20 years.

When I was in grad school in the SF Bay area... there was an annual party in SF to watch the game - as some channel televises it (? these are really small schools) - and folks watch it. Granted my brother and I are "rivals" - but neither of us pay attention until after the game - for the bragging rights.

The grad school rivalry was more interesting - stanford vs cal ... nerds go nuts. There was the year where the mascots got into a brawl and both ended up with charges filed against them...

[BleedingHeartRN]

90. Kentucky (GO CATS!!!)

And because we DOMINATED the 90's in men's basketball, we have many rivals:

1. dUKe - because we can't ever get over that '92 game when Christian Laettner hit a 3 from no-man's land at the buzzer.
2. Tennessee - Do you know why the UT Vols wear orange? They can wear to the game on Saturday, hunting on Sunday, and picking up trash on the interstate come Monday morning :D
3. Flordia - these days they are the team we love to hate.
4. Indiana - not so much now, but when I was a kid, Bobby Knight was as his worst. The games had to be played in L'ville because the rivalry was so intense, they couldn't play in Indianapolis or Lexington.
5. Louisville - but only since that dirty traitor Rick Pitino became the head coach.

[WilmywoodNCparalegal]

147. ahem... it was a two-pointer

by Laettner :)

Just wanted to rectify it... (and rub it in a little)

[GalleryGod]

92. St. Joe's-Philly. Evil Empire= VanillaNova.

[puerco-bellies]

96. New Mexico Tech vs Sobriety

[Omphaloskepsis]

97. University of Oregon and Portland State University...

Can't say that I ever cared about sports or rivalries.

[Zoigal]

108. Hi Ompha

Went to U/O for graduate work. Lived in Eugene for 25 years.
Miss that town. You live in Springfield now, right?

[Omphaloskepsis]

113. I was born in Springfield..

I moved to Eugene after High School. Then I lived Portland for a few years and then I moved back to Eugene.

[Wapsie B]

98. I'm a cornfield alum of the University of Iowa

Our biggest rival is

The

Ohio State University.

[FuzzySlippers]

100. Thanks for the info!!

:hi: I went there but I had no idea who the big rival was. I never paid attention. :D

[Wapsie B]

106. You must not be into football Fuzzy.

To me, beating OSU and Minnesota in the same season makes it for me. Throw in Michigan and that'd be a year for the ages. Almost like 2002.

:hi:

[FuzzySlippers]

111. Afraid not.

:hi:

[Wetzelbill]

101. Right now, the University of Arizona

and our rivals would be Arizona State.

I also went to the Art Institute of Seattle, but we had no rival. Unless you count those pesky Art Institute of LA punks.

[hellbound-liberal]

104. Two schools: Florida State and University of Maryland at College Park

Though many consider The University of Florida to be our biggest rival (including my wife who went there) I was always much happier when we beat Miami. When I was attending they were very obnoxious. When I went to Maryland, Duke was always our biggest rival. I suppose it still is.

[ElizabethDC]

107. Georgetown Univ

I'm not sure who our biggest rival is - it kind of changes with each basketball season.

[dajoki]

110. Temple Univ.

Back in the early '70's when I played football there, it was Villanova.

[Kerrytravelers]

112. USC - twice. BA and MA.

The main rival is UCLA... or FUCLA, as we like to call them. Funny thing, though. Many of the professors teach at both Universities. And in the MA and PhD programs, some students go to one another's campuses to take classes. The rivalry is felt mainly in the undergrad population.

We also have a "hatred" for the Cal bears and Notre Dame... and about anyone else we play against!

Terri

[mvd]

114. Ursinus College

After I graduated, I studied web design and computer programming at a local Penn State campus.

[AngryOldDem]

115. University of Dayton

In basketball, when I was there, the biggest rival was Notre Dame.

[driver8]

117. Heartbreak Ridge...

Just kidding!

State University of New York at Fredonia -- I guess our biggest rival was either Buffalo State or University of Buffalo.

[bamacrat]

118. ALABAMA!!

Our biggest rival is and always will be Auburn.

ROLL TIDE ROLL

[unsavedtrash]

143. ROLL TIDE ROLL!

:woohoo:
2007 A Day Game. Wish I could have been there!

[bamacrat]

146. I was there but could never get a seat

I was there 30 minutes before kickoff and then was turned away in the second quarter. It was madness, good thing I live nearby.

[jmowreader]

120. US Army Intelligence School...

Goodfellow Air Force Base, TX, and Fort Devens, MA, campuses.

Now...you want to have a REAL fun time? A few of us did this shit at Fort Devens. We'd catch the T to Cambridge, go to the bars the Harvard and MIT students drank at, and joke that we attended the "most exclusive institution of higher learning in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts." Which was true. Anyone who's got serious brain has the possibility of entering either MIT or Harvard--if you're smart enough, they will find you the money to get you in. But to go to USAISD? You need serious brain PLUS a top secret security clearance.

[treestar]

121. UNC Chapel Hill

We hated NC State with a passion.

[MassLiberal]

122. Middlebury College

I never paid attention to football and I don't know if we had a rival. Maybe Williams College?

[TheCentepedeShoes]

123. I knew someone who went there

Don't they have a dorm where only French is spoken? That sounds kool.

[MassLiberal]

126. Oui -- Le Chateau!

It IS kool.

[Awsi Dooger]

129. My grandfather went to Middlebury

He was in a language dorm. I visited campus in summer '86 and had a great time looking through old yearbooks. He was a star catcher on the baseball team and also played football.

[SacredCow]

124. LSU....

Ordinarily, I'd say the biggest rival would be Texas A&M, but now that Saban has proven what a whore he really is by going to Alabama... Well, let's just say lots of folks here are looking forward to giving them a proper ass-whoopin' in Death Valley!

[TheCentepedeShoes]

125. Texas Tech

Rivals were (are) UT (friendly) and Texas A&M (not so friendly). Mr 'pede just got me a new flag to fly on game days.

[Lethe]

134. yep them Raiders are some scrappy fans

dang back in the day we pelted the A&M band with stale tortillas.

Nothing worse than losing to A&M or UT :)

[Flying Dream Blues]

127. University of Texas at Austin...

Biggest rival...OU

[jakefrep]

130. John Carroll University

Our biggest rival was Baldwin-Wallace.

[southerncrone]

131. Tennessee Tech

Then, biggest rival = Middle Tennessee State

[wildhorses]

132. harvard on the highway --

rival...?!?!

:rofl:

[SPKrazy]

139. ...

you may have the best education of all!

:hug:

and you are quick as quicksilver!

:hi:

[wildhorses]

141. i dunno about that --

have you seen all the brainiacs in gd:wow:

:hi:

[SPKrazy]

142. meh, they are just

good researchers


computer savvy folks with too much time on their hands :P

you are real people though wH

seriously

:hug:

[ellisonz]

133. Reed College - Portland, OR.

Lewis and Clark College sucks: most famous grad: Monica Lewinsky.

[LibDemAlways]

140. My dad's a Nitany Lion, too. He graduated long

ago - 1942. Still looks forward to receiving his Penn Stater, but it's bittersweet. Most of the names he remembers turn up in the obit column!

As for me, I went to a run-of-the-mill California State College. I don't know if we had any rivals. I never would have thought of going to a game.

[I Have A Dream]

152. Yes, that would definitely be bittersweet for your father.

:(

[sandnsea]

144. Montana Grizzlies!

Go Griz! Boo Bobcats. :spank:

[KitchenWitch]

145. University of Minnesota - our biggest rival was ourselves!

:rofl:

[lizerdbits]

149. Virginia Tech class of 1997

Spent my freshman year at Mississippi State but went back to my home state after a year. They both have vet schools which is what I wanted to do until I realized I'd have to deal with people a lot. I think I'm better off working in a lab, it suits my personality better.

Forgot to say University of Virginia is the biggest rival. My sister went there.

150. California Maritime Academy

Now part of the California State University system.

When I was there we had 250 students (that's two-hundred-and-fifty, no zeroes left out!). When I started it was all men. (the Homecoming Queen thing was kind of weird). After 2 years we started getting female students. 6 in the first group graduation in 1976. One got pregnant and dropped out (actually both protagonists left).

We had intermural football. 8 teams. I was in the First Engineering Division. Our team's name was "the Fighting Artichokes."

I don't know about rivals. We had basketball games against other small colleges in the SF Bay Area. For many years we always won home games. The other teams got the word. "You win, we kill you!" One day we played a new school who did not know the rules. They won, they lived. We never won another game after that.

It was a strange school then. 4 years were crammed into 3. 2 weeks vacation during the summer. As second classman you did 22-1/2 units including physics, calculus and electrical engineering. I had a job offer 6 weeks before graduating (most people did). I graduated on a Saturday and went to work Monday.

I understand the school now has crew and competes against UC Berkeley and others.
