[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]No school has a better combination of party scene, academics and big time athletics than Wisconsin. [/quote]
UCLA? Florida? Georgia? UNC? Duke?[/quote]
UCLA - better academics, athletics are generally on par, not as big a party school
Florida - bigger football but not academics or party
GA - Nope
UNC - better academics, but no to the other two
Duke is a small private school with a big hoops program and thats about it.[/quote]
Wisconsin is a nice school, but please try to be serious.

UCLA's academics are stronger than Wisconsin's and the "party deficit" you see exists because there's so much more to do in LA than drink! Clever spin to try to elevate keg stands above skiing in the morning, surfing in the afternoon, and world class entertainment at night, but just no.

Florida no longer trails Wisconsin in academics and its sports programs are stronger generally, not just in football. And those kids also do nearly as many keg stands as the Badgers do.

Georgia's athletics are clearly stronger (#1 football team in the country; Wisconsin will be lucky to finish the season above .500) and academics are pretty much on par. Athens is a great college town; individual preference whether it's better than Madison.

UNC's sports are on par with Wisconsin's. (I'm actually not sure its academics are better.)

Duke's academics are clearly superior and basketball is legendary.

And you ducked Texas, which basically is Madison with better weather and racial diversity.[/quote]
So you obviously have a very massive bone to pick and you would argue that basically any random school in the country is better than Wisconsin. Enough already. No one cares about whether Georgia has better athletics or School X has better this or that. [/quote]
Is this third response your best and final? Because it's blather. Read the chain. A Wisconsin booster set out the criteria s/he thinks makes Wisconsin #1. A number of specific (not random) schools were offered as potentially besting Wisconsin on the criteria chosen by the booster. The booster pushed back, largely by overstating Wisconsin's relative academic and athletic strengths and then got called on the overstatements. And then you had your little conniption.   :roll: [/quote]
