He disapproves of such nonsense on the football forum and recommends that you return to your pre-approved nonsense thread in the open forum lest he has to smack you silly.

He also notes and exalts the party-animalness of the Longhorns. Well done, fellas!

U of Texas-Austin tops party school list <!-- END HEADLINE -->
<!-- BEGIN STORY BODY -->By LIZ AUSTIN PETERSON, Associated Press Writer 1 hour, 31 minutes ago


AUSTIN, Texas - The Texas Longhorns earned another national title Monday, not for football but as the country's best party school.<SCRIPT type=text/javascript>if (window.yzq_a == null) document.write("<scr" + "ipt type=text/javascript src=""http://us.js2.yimg.com/us.js.yimg.com/lib/bc/bc_1.7.3.js></scr" + "ipt>");</SCRIPT><SCRIPT type=text/javascript>if (window.yzq_a){yzq_a('p', 'P=sfI_CESOwhWxJL1ZRORQfw0UREwiLkTqFikACIfr&T=1abrakfl4%2fX%3d1156191785%2fE%3d8903239%2fR%3dnews%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d1.1%2fW%3d8%2fY%3dYAHOO%2fF%3d4086794146%2fH%3dY2FjaGVoaW50PSJuZXdzIiBjb250ZW50PSJJdDtjb2xkO2l0O2Vudmlyb25tZW50O2dvdmVybm1lbnQ7QW1lcmljYTtoZWxwO3JlZnVybF93d3dfeWFob29fY29tIiByZWZ1cmw9InJlZnVybF93d3dfeWFob29fY29tIiB0b3BpY3M9InJlZnVybF93d3dfeWFob29fY29tIg--%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3d0A47BFD1');yzq_a('a', '&U=139k8ut83%2fN%3dIAj6EtG_Rvs-%2fC%3d384892.9097098.9861859.1442997%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d3892108');}</SCRIPT> <NOSCRIPT>http://us.bc.yahoo.com/b?P=sfI_CESOwhWxJL1ZRORQfw0UREwiLkTqFikACIfr&T=1af1a6u19%2fX%3d1156191785%2fE%3d8903239%2fR%3dnews%2fK%3d5%2fV%3d2.1%2fW%3d8%2fY%3dYAHOO%2fF%3d141480265%2fH%3dY2FjaGVoaW50PSJuZXdzIiBjb250ZW50PSJJdDtjb2xkO2l0O2Vudmlyb25tZW50O2dvdmVybm1lbnQ7QW1lcmljYTtoZWxwO3JlZnVybF93d3dfeWFob29fY29tIiByZWZ1cmw9InJlZnVybF93d3dfeWFob29fY29tIiB0b3BpY3M9InJlZnVybF93d3dfeWFob29fY29tIg--%2fQ%3d-1%2fS%3d1%2fJ%3d0A47BFD1&U=139k8ut83%2fN%3dIAj6EtG_Rvs-%2fC%3d384892.9097098.9861859.1442997%2fD%3dLREC%2fB%3d3892108</NOSCRIPT>
The University of Texas at Austin beat Penn State University, West Virginia University and last year's winner, the University of Wisconsin-Madison, in the Princeton Review survey of 115,000 students at campuses around the country.
It topped the overall list — its first time atop the Princeton Review chart — by ranking second in the use of hard liquor, third in beer drinking and 13th in marijuana smoking.
For the ninth straight year, Brigham Young University was voted the most "stone cold sober" school.
UT spokesman Don Hale said campus leaders don't take such rankings very seriously.
"I know there were a lot of good parties here after we won the national football championship, and I'm going to guess that a lot of the kids who filled out the survey remembered those parties," he said.
Student body president Danielle Rugoff said the school had a vibrant social scene even before the top ranking. With about 1,000 student groups, including more than 50 social sororities and fraternities, it's easy to find a way to unwind after a long day of studying, she said.
"It's such a unique environment," said Rugoff, a senior government major. "It allows for students to just live life to the fullest and have such a rich academic environment and rigorous academic program and still have an amazing time and enjoy being in college."
The party school list is included in the Princeton Review's "Best 361 Colleges" guide, which goes on sale Tuesday. The company is not affiliated with Princeton University.
It contrasts with U.S. News and World Report's annual guide to "America's Best Colleges," where UT-Austin tied with four other schools in 47th place.
Rugoff said administrators and student leaders work hard to help students make good decisions about alcohol and drugs.
Despite those efforts, a freshman died of acute alcohol poisoning in December as a result of fraternity hazing.
Tests showed Phanta "Jack" Phoummarath's blood alcohol level was 0.50 percent, more than six times the legal limit. University officials canceled Lambda Phi Epsilon's status as a registered student organization until 2011 after an investigation found new members were expected to drink large amounts of liquor.
The author of the Princeton report, Robert Franek, said the lists are simply meant to provide more information for high school students.
"It's simply finding that community both inside and outside of the classroom that I think is the challenge for many students," he said.

I just saw the CFN offense unit rankings list. The rankings for OSU looked pretty good, but what stood out was the O-line at #2. I was a little surprised, but after thinking about it, that's not unreasonable because I don't know who else you'd put in that spot. I know it's solid, I just haven't really heard much about it other than you return 4/5 and add Boone.

But anyway, y'all know more about your line than I do. Is it deserving of that lofty ranking?

I'll start.

Texas won't even know what hit them. You know why? Because I am going to this game. Every away game that I have personally gone to, we have won. Also, in the history of college football, the visiting team has ALWAYS won in this series. It is UNCANNY. 100% of the time, the visiting team has won, and 100% of the time Ohio State has won on the road when I'm there to witness it. So thats like a 200% chance of winning this game, or a whopping 10,000% chance if the two factors are multiplicative (which I'm pretty sure it is).

Fear us.

Sweet job for jinxing us.

Hey, everything has to be proven in real games, but this is arguably the best overall group - and depth - they have had up front in terms of returners, experience and potential in a long while.

The biggest change / loss from last year is highly regarded center Nick Mangold graduating. Datish moves over to anchor that position and man mountain Boone moves on in. This group should give Troy the time he needs, open gaps for our RBs and execute things very well indeed.

The line was athletic last year, but they have maintained their strength while becoming even more athletic this offseason. None moreso than Boone has lost a TON of fat due to his offseason punishments.

LT - Boone has a tremendous ceiling.
LG - Steve Rehring... big road grader, missed last year with health issues.
C - Datish, veteran, smart, versatile player. Next best thing to Nick returning.
RG - Downing - underrated, pretty good guard.
RT - Barton - very solid RT, held his own in every big game... we missed him dearly when he got hurt vs PSU.

my sig: Downing, Smith, Datish.

agreed. one thing that sticks out is the continuity of this O-line unit... it seems that since Troy had them running 11 on 11 drills this summer instead of the usual 7 on 7, the O-line has already gelled in a way that is relatively unprecedented...
