and in related news blue is now the best color, besting red which held the spot last year.

Ever since I saw the new "rankings" earlier today I had two thoughts:
1) How long would it take somebody to post here touting that NDSU had finally "made it".
2) How long after the initial post would it take NDBison to respond with a smart ass comment.

For the record, NDBison is right. (not about blue being the best color, but the ridiculousness of this ranking)

[IowaBison]

How dare you question the rankings!

I just bought my daughter $250,000 worth of blue accessories. I can't believe I bought all that red crap last year, what was I thinking. It was blue all along!

I have always been a blue guy......I just happen to live in a red place...... ;)

[TheBisonator]

Green and Golden Yellow rule over all others. ;)

Funny how Montana St is in the top Carnegie Classification (for Research Institutions) yet is still "Fourth tier"

Well, at least this will be one less smack point that UND people will have over us... :D :D :D

Just in case you are ever asked "What is the capital of Assyria?", it could save your life to know that it is (or, rather was) Nineveh.

Indeed, but what is the airspeed velocity of an unladen swallow? I'll give you a hint: It's European.

I could give a rats a$$ about those rankings since I've always stated those rankings are nothing more than another way to sell more magazines. Now, if someone did an opensource/free way to ranking schools that I would tend to believe a bit more.

The one good thing that come from this is that UND fans RELIGIOUSLY followed that ranking and always brought it up as another thing they thought UND had over NDSU. That should shut them up now in that area. Thank god.

A blue swallow or a red swallow?

Not at all. They could be carried.
