Every single Aggie post is about anything but football. Searching for vindication through other means I guess

This, this right here. Aggies be talkin frivolous bull shite about ANYTHING but football, and season is less than 30 days away. This is the very reason aggie will never taste sweet success in the SEC like LSU, Bama, UT, UF, AU, and UGA.

I guess next up for aggie is a men's fashion show for gameday.

Iowa City is actually a really good college town.

Urbana Champaign being #2 on that list is what completely invalidates it. That town is kind of a dump.

Of the Big Ten towns excluding larger cities, I'd put it something like this:

1. Ann Arbor (sucks to write that but it's a great college town)
2. Madison
3. Bloomington
4. Iowa City

Then a pretty big drop off after that.

college station and bryan texas are 5 miles from each other... total pop for those 2 is 200,000 people... that's not a town.

so this is dumb... just like aggie fans.

This is so true and it's a little embarrassing. They seem to spend a lot of time searching for anything positive, other than football, to post about anything Aggie. It's like they're desperate to convince everyone else they're relevant.

Hopefully, you good southern people will come to find it endearing. It never became that way in the SWC/Big12, but we're mostly sumbitches.

No, they're not. There's no space between them at all. They run together. You cross between them without even knowing it.

Wow, this article is so breathtaking in its lack of originality. every year, same old thing, best college football town rankings, let me guess. the next ranking will be best football atmospheres, or best college bands, or best fight song.

why is College Station considered a college town? Doesn't it have like 120k people? Gainesville couldn't be much bigger, if at all, yet is apparently considered a small-metro

Per the article.

Midsize Metro
small cities, with populations between 250,000 and 1 million residents.

College towns
metro areas with less than 250,000 in population

Any list that prioritizes diversity cannot be taken seriously.
