    We? have an entirely different set of problems down in Miami; and even though Miami is statistically harder to get into than UW, that's not the real problem.

    Michigan has been an elite university for a longer period of time than Washington, and is still markedly more difficult to get into. And they fill that mother fucking stadium up every Saturday, rain

    I wouldn't have guessed it, but you are right the Miamuh is statistically harder to get accepted to @creepycoug and they are even ranked higher the UW in USNWR. So why is their endowment then so pidally ass (it's smaller than CUOG ).

    Kind of a shame I like herby. But i couldn't care less. I don't follow husky sports for the administration or media to give me kudos I follow it because it's awesome

    Would have been a jack doog and I guess was from 18-20 until I transferred in. Stupid take from Herb. When half your family went to the school I guess you still aren't a valid fan until you yourself do.

    Endowment is a funny thing. Some great schools have big endowments and some don't. Washington has a relatively low endowment relative to the size of operation and relative to its status in the research university category. Compare/contrast with Texas A&M, whose endowment is a multiple of Washington's.

    OTOH, elite academis and high endowment resources do tend to correlate. I would say where you have average to low endowment and high academis you have a outlier. It happens, just not that often.

    Miami just became popular for some reason, and it's in a high population state and kids OOS wanted to go to Souwf Beach. It all added up to a supply/demand dynamic that led to more selective admissions. But of course, Miami is not the research university that Washington is.

    Tadd Foote wanted the Harvard of South Florida

    This is exactly what he feared. We think Miami is a football factory

    Although b4 we? thought of it as a football factory we?, and everybody else, thought of it as "Sun Tan U" and the place Jewish parents sent their retarded kids who couldn't get into real universities in the northeast. Kind of like the east coast USC.

    Foote was, by far, the biggest arrogant POS egghead administrator that ever walked the earth. Can you imagine being in a room with that dumb fuck arguing with Jimmy Mother Fucking Johnson? Lolz. Imagine how emasculating it was for Foote to have to watch Jimmy move on and rule the NFL. Those two men fucking HATED each other, as you can well imagine.

    JJ was the best at what he did; Foote was just another wishful thinking academic egg head who nobody remembers.

    What else is there to do in Ann Arbor aside from rocking khaki pants?
    Sure.gif.

    But both Ann Arbor and Madison are surprisingly good small cities with plenty to do. They are islands in a sea of shit.

    There's a plenty to do if you don't care about football. Not as much as in Miami or So Cal, but it's still there if you don't want to watch sports.

    The point is that Michigan is a school with a strong sports culture that values football. The fact that it's an elite university has done little to change that.
    I always thought they were the anuses (ani?) of each state. Lots to do in both those states as far away from those towns

    Huh? Ann Arbor and Madison? You are literally the first person I've ever heard make that observation. They're both fantastic college towns/cities. This isn't even close to being accurate.

    A lot of Husky fans were born into it or picked it up as kids long before a college choice. That's what drives Cuog crazy. No kid grows up a Cuog fan. First you have to be rejected by UW and attend WSU

    I'm a jack Husky who did drive by at UW and helped Charles Jackson and Wayne Moses stay eligible.

    College football we can all agree is way more fun than the NFL. So if you grow up in Washington and have half a brain you're going to be a Dawg fan even if you don't graduate from UW. I was a close to going to the University of Montana but still would have been a rabid Husky fan cause of my old man.

    You left out part of the story. Didn't you once say that Wayne Moses threatened you or something like that?

    Wisconsin is the only show in the state. Everyone can really behind the badgers and it is non-controversial. There is no balkanization that makes people choose sides or just become disenfranchised.

    There is a superior average fan culture here. For an intense fan who just cares about what happens on the field then Husky stadium is (was? I haven't been to a home game since like 2015 Apple cup or similar) better. For someone who just wants to have a fun experience on a Saturday then Wisconsin beats Washington every time. The campus parking lots and surrounding neighborhoods become one massive party. It is incredibly fun. Folks trickle into the game late but the in-stadium experience is more entertaining to people who only casually care about football. There are plenty of things to do in Madison on a Saturday but 6 days a year gameday is the best activity in town.
    Wisconsin was founded by mein tuff bier swilling and sausage loving Germans which is more conducive to game day atmosphere. They sell bier at the Wisco HUB on the lake for crying out loud.

    We? were founded by a bunch of uptight, tee totaling Swedes and Norskies who wanted a booze free campus. Lame.
    This is where I met my wife and @MadHusky (separate occasions, both unplanned).

    I have a friend that went to Wazzu that fits your description perfectly. I always ask him if it’s annoying to pretend like you’re a huge Cuog fan and hate UW.!
    I always wondered what I would do as a parent if one of my kid had to got to CUOG instead of UW due to lack of grades and/or mediocre test scores. Could they just go for the degree but remain a DWAG at heat? Like a young version of Dick Baird?

    The kid next door to us growing up was older than us kids so we kind of looked up to him. Then he went to WSU. I was young but my dads had already firmly indoctrinated me. I remember thinking - wow I didn't think he was such a loser. No more looking up to him

    My sister had a crush on Bill Moos. At least Bill made something out of himself
