[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It’s no Michigan!  There are guys in northern VA who wear Michigan hats so often I swear they have been sewn into their heads.[/quote]

I live in NOVA and I've never seen anyone in Michigan gear.  And who the hell wants to go to school in the upper mid west?[/quote]

[b]Clearly, very many people.[[/b]/quote]

You know this stuff is all regional right?  Outside of about 10 schools, most high ranking schools aren't held in the same regard outside of their region.  As a Virginian, I'm gaga over UVA, but I get that people from other states wouldn't be as much.  I know that Michigan, UT, UNC, some of the non-Berkley UC's are extremely good schools as well, but I don't hold them in the same regard that people in those states do.  Even a lot of the SLACs that get so much love on DCUM are not well known to me, but obviously they carry a lot more cache in the north east.  I think the thing to remember is that unless one attends an ivy caliber school, most fantastic schools don't have wide spread recognition outside of the region they are located in. [/quote]
