that's kinda how i feel. good people, maybe. all that folksy charm or whatever....but it's not my scene. horrible scenario, but if i had to choose one of the Texas schools it would be UT without even thinking about it. Maybe even Baylor over ATM.
after walking home from King Soopers on this beautiful morning in Boulder....I shudder to think.
JMHO, tho in a very very distant third... Lubbock. Only because its a 5-6 hour drive to Colorado's mountains and about 4 hour drive to the nearest ski resort in New Mexico.

I used to think that heaven was Lubbock in my rear view mirror...
Have you ever been to Lubbock? They don't call them sand aggies for nothing.
I'd take Norman long before I even considered Lubbock.
I lived there for a few semesters as a former Tech student. Don't ask why I went to school there.. but when it was over with the ex, I got the **** out of there and moved back to CO.
Besides Boulder and Austin where else in the Big 12 would anyone want to live and go to school? Ugh.
Lubbock, TX?
Waco, TX?
College Station, TX?
Norman, OK?
Stillwater, OK?
Manhattan, KS?
Lawrence, KS?
Ames, IA?
Columbia, MO?
Lincoln, NE?

Norman, OK isn't really all that bad. Some decent bars, and OKC is pretty close. Columbia, MO is decent, too. Not great, but not gawd awful, either.
I would do Norman, Lawrence, and maybe Ames. Norman is not a bad town, Lawrence is a good college town, and I like Iowa folks.

Tough question. Fort Collins beats them all.
If youre 70 years old and dont want your kids to visit you... then yeah ill second that statement! But as a football town.. :laugh:
I don't know, I lived in the Fort for about 5 years and really enjoyed it. Nice college town (not as nice as Boulder) but without the extreme liberals. Not as many Texas (sorry DBT I could do without most of em) or Californians either. As for a football town, they remind me of Cub fans. They know there team sucks, but they support their s***ty team with pride. Other than the Ewe fans that live there, I love Fort Collins.
Just not my cup o' tea i guess... but i think that damn ram that roams around there really kills it for me.
I'm not saying Ft. Fun is a great town. It's just a better town than 9 or 10 of the B12 schools. If your kids won't visit you in Ft Collins, they sure as he'll won't come to visit you in Stillwater or Manhattan. Those campuses are in the Styx. They make Lubbock and College Station and Lincoln seem like thriving metropolises by comparison.
At least the Fort has Colorado weather, good beer, and access to Colorado mountains.
