<p>Michigan, Colgate, Williams, UCLA, Bucknell, Lafayette, Lehigh, Wisconsin, Notre Dame, Boston College, USC, North Carolina, Duke, Stanford, Tulane, Texas … which schools am I leaving out? Should I delete any?</p>
<p>Then there are schools like Arizona, Indiana, Oregon…which schools are similar to these?</p>
<p>dstark, I am not so sure that Tulane belongs on that list. My son has said that it is nothing like being a DUCK fan, or living in a college town where the whole town (or what feels like it anyway) finds its way to the stadium on a Saturday afternoon.</p>
<p>Yeah, I’m not sure either. I guess from what you are telling me, I should take it off. Oh well, it still has Mardi Gras.
Is baseball big at Oregon? I am assuming basketball is.</p>
<p>Here are ones off the top of my head that you should consider adding to your list:</p>
<p>University of Illinois - Urbana Champaign, Georgetown, Penn State, George Washington University (their bball team is surprisingly good this year)…</p>
<p>Illinois is a one sport school. PSU is now a no sport school. Same for Gtown. GWU plays at too low a level but is decent.</p>
<p>Dartmouth and Cornell are pretty into sports.</p>
<p>Bowdoin’s a pretty athletic campus. Can’t beat the Colby/Bowdoin hockey rivalry!</p>
<p>Johns Hopkins - only wrt lacrosse, I think</p>
<p>Oregon does not have a men’s baseball team, only a women’s softball team. Both men’s and women’s basketball is big at Oregon. In fact, I believe that the Oregon women’s program has the highest average attendance of all the PAC-10 schools.</p>
<p>Berkeley, University of Washington.</p>
<p>I don’t think Johns Hopkins is going on the list.</p>
<p>How can Oregon not have a baseball team? It’s a Pac-10 school? Neither does Colgate. What is wrong with these schools?</p>
<p>Trinity U in Texas is a big sports school, even though it’s only Div. III (I think)</p>
<p>Go GW Colonials(just got accepted ED and am really happy about this bball season…sux we don’t have a football team)</p>
<p>University of Georgia(Athens is my hometown) is SO into football. UGA is a really great school academically, but it’s hard to find people here who aren’t fanatic Dawgs fans.</p>
<p>stanford has awesome sports programs, but i dont think they support their teams very well. (except for basketball, when they sell out whenever they’re good)</p>
<p>You know, I believe this might have been one of the first, maybe THE first, questions I asked when I first came to CC eons ago. This is what my S wanted: big time sports, good academics, and overall liberal atmosphere. Which is why Michigan made sense for him, and why it’s pretty funny that he ended up at a school not exactly knownfor its sports excellence! :p</p>
<p>garland, you are being too humble. If I recall, one of your son’s school’s most famous sports alums, the late Mr. Chester Forte, would regale his listeners with the school’s magnificent record for sport futility! LOL</p>
<p>Oh, dstark, Oregon does not have a baseball team because given our weather, if you stood around that long outside waiting for nine innings to play out, you would be covered in moss before the 7th inning stretch.</p>
<p>Funny, CD. And there fencing team is actually pretty good…</p>
<p>Add Hamilton and possibly Kenyon.</p>
