that we beat institutions such as the prestigious Wabash College. I thought that the Little Giants would edge us out.

If you've never been to a Monon Bell game, then maybe you shouldn't comment about the spirit of the Little Giants. Although on a much much smaller scale, the alumni support and overall school spirit rivals that of anybody in the country.

They like to pose shirtless next to a Lambroghini, although a Lambroghini on a much smaller scale.

Not at home versus Northwestern.

I'm glad we're getting recognition. It's a very spirited school indeed. It's partly because of great moments like this:
Seriously though, where the hell is OSU? We may hate them, but they seem to have a lot of school spirit. That's one thing that makes the rivalry so great. They seem to have much more school pride than Florida. Am I missing something?

That just sent shivers down my spine all over again. +1

Shit like this makes me cry. And of course I'm forced to watch it like 6 times in a row.

Having lived near Columbus for the last 11 years, it's hard to believe that this rabid fan base, which borders on cultic, does not rank higher.

I completely agree. Having seen cars with a block M be attacked and damaged in the streets of Columbus makes me think they have some spirit.
PSU also ranked Biggest Party School by USA Today this past year. Whom did they just edge out? Florida:

(please note Michigan did not even make the top 20). I wonder to what type of "spirit" is this Encarta feature referring, exactly? Alcohol-induced?
I agree that OSU should be #1 after living in Columbus for a couple of years. What an obnoxious yet spirited group of fans. I currently live in Orlando and have not witnessed much UF spirit around here. Might have something to due with the demographics here in this area though. I'm sure it's much different in Gainesville.
