You guys get so uptight about anything that has Alabama listed at the top, or above Auburn.

No, just telling you the truth. AUs campus use to be one of the best, but they took down too many old Oaks and replaced them with crepe myrtles. UA looks nice because of the Old Oaks, they block the quilt look from the different buildings. Again, the buildings I mentioned before, should disqualify both.

I think it's the point that any campus in America has its quaint places and it's ugly places. OM's campus isn't ugly, neither is State's or certain parts of Southern Miss's. It's the fact that these idiots online release "Top Whatever" lists without doing proper investigation. They are just going off what someone else has said. Alabama has a beautiful campus. Other than BD though there isn't much on Bama's campus to differentiate it from any other campus. Vandy is the clear example here. Is it a nice campus? Sure. But Sawanee's campus is on a whole other level. But no one ever talks about Sawannee so the google hits aren't there. It's lazy fricking journalism. Especially from a "travel" magazine.
