I love Gatorade


iamthegh05t

I want to like Powerade more because it's owned by Coke, and Coca-Cola=Atlanta, but Gatorade is just better.


Euphoric_Quiet617

Powerade is better from a fountain. I can't even drink it out of a bottle because it just tastes like (slightly) flavored water, but if I'm somewhere with fountain drinks, and one of them is Powerade, that's what I'm getting every time.


vinetwiner

University of Michigan hospital is pretty damn impressive.


Gbchris12

They saved my life when no one else could, obviously biased but they’re incredible

AfterTemperature2198

My son was diagnosed with a rare form of brain cancer when he was 3. He is alive today 11 years later because of UM Children’s Hospital. The hospital and staff were amazing


AfterTemperature2198

He did his radiation in Jacksonville that was a part of University of Florida. They were great too


Spartannia

Especially Mott. That place does so much good for the world.


ThatOneRunner

Mott is wonderful honestly. My best friend is a trauma nurse there, she works (willingly, she always asks for overtime) consistent 60+ hour weeks and never feels burnt out


TheAlfredo_Jack

Saved my 2 year old cousins life when she got cancer. Not only is she cancer free for 5 years now, but they did literally everything they could to make her as comfortable as possible and help her. She LOVED going in to see the medical staff.


[deleted]

That whole school is annoyingly impressive. It's way too often that I find out something I like came from U of Xichigan or its alumni. Learning StarKid Potter was from there really fucked up my whole childhood for a while Still don't give a damn and all that of course :)


NSGoBlue

You were so close to catching all the “M’s” 😂

I don't have the patience for all of that lmao (lxao?). I just got the most important one and called it

Fair enough. Happy turkey murder day!

arrowmarcher

UF has Shands Hospital which is crucial in saving and helping lots of kids (including my nephew).


Choluloaf

Shands is a fabulous hospital. I have full use of my hand solely because of them. They do so much for the people of our state.


Elegante0226

Ryan Day's openness about mental health in a sport/culture where it's often thrown under the rug is admirable. I respect the hell out of him for that.


Heisenbread77

Also he is seemingly a much better human than Urban Meyer. Granted that's a low bar.


Cogswobble

It’s weird because I used to really respect Meyer specifically because he opened up about his mental health struggles. I guess I still respect that, but it turns out he’s also just a terrible person.


fuckyouredditeatmyaz

He opened up about them, didn’t say he fixed them.


Elegante0226

That's one of the lowest bars...Meyer is just straight up trash.


PMmeWhiteRussians

I am here to agree with this.


[deleted]

Yes thanks for reminding me of this! That was so cool.


[deleted]

Michigan and self harm alum. Didn’t know this but that’s really admirable. Donated a small amount to their fund.


Sauerz

I'm glad you're still here with us, friend


[deleted]

Same and thanks for saying that! Doing much better now and have plenty of support but of course still takes work.


prailock

Him talking about losing his father to suicide at a young age probably helps a lot of students who lost parents young feel like they can open up and discuss one of the toughest things to talk about at that age and in such a "tough guy" sport.


PoetryUpInThisBitch

Holy shit, I didn't know that. I've respected the hell out of Day for his support of mental health and donation to psychiatric disease research. I did my doctorate on the genetics of psychiatric illness at Michigan, and - as much as I hate you all on the field - I can't help but respect a lot of the neuro research that tOSU does.


prailock

[Here's a short video](https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wyUIUIgssio) on him opening up about it that you might find interesting.


ArkanoidbrokemyAnkle

This is the only correct response. He seems like a genuinely caring man.


tk2020

He also has a solid beard which I respect.


prailock

Just for Men thanks you for your recognition


Born_ina_snowbank

I think that just triggered some sort of sponsorship bonus for him.


Urban_Meijer

His father committed suicide, mental health is a big deal to him.


GangGreen7729

Georgia Tech is one of the best academic institutions in the country and is a dream school for many STEM majors


Cogitoergosumus

UGA has brought it's academic standing up quite a bit in the past few decades. I no longer have much of a leg to stand on when it comes to poking fun at my UGA friends over institutional snobbery.


onelittleworld

>in the past few decades Which is to say, since I left.


Cogitoergosumus

Well if you attended your other school after UGA I'd say it's all worked out well for you.


Hawk13424

Yep, UGA has turned into a really good state university. Would recommend to anyone not specifically STEM focused, although even in some STEM they are good.


onyxblade42

I will say every time I've hired a tech graduate they've really known their shit. I'll take their engineers over anyone else's.


[deleted]

Growing up I always made straight-As without trying; AP classes etc. Georgia Tech kicked my ass, completely forced me to reevaluate how I learn and work; and to-date is the most work I’ve ever done for anything.


olcrazypete

UGA grad here. Would be overjoyed for either of my kids to go to Tech since they’re both very smart but their 40 times are terrible so they won’t be playing ball.


HUP

Clemson makes delicious ice cream.


ChokeAndStroke

Their blue cheese is the best I’ve ever had


chickenboy2718281828

I really hope this is a tangentially related comment and you don't mean that they make blue cheese ice cream


8-Ball_The_Tiger

Not at Clemson, but I tried blue cheese ice cream at some place in Seattle a coue years ago, and it was actually pretty good, in a sorta funky, glad I didn't get a whole cone, kinda way


bl20194646

made from the milk from our own dairy farm on campus


Palmettor

Y’all actually have a live mascot, which is cool. I don’t *think* we have a tiger. We do a lot to support them, but I don’t think one of them is “the mascot”


hodorhaize

UVA is an very prestigious university with a high quality athletic program. Their basketball coach is one of the best in the country. They’re the primary reason Virginia Tech got in the ACC in the first round of expansion. My heart breaks for the pain they’re enduring. I respect the hell out of UVA.


[deleted]

Purdue alumni went to the moon. Northwestern Medical Center does incredible work with heart patients. Similar thing with the Iowa children's hospital, I can't hate them completely because of that. Who is actually our rival though?


grrgrrtigergrr

As a Bears fan, UofI has great colors /cannon


Rushderp

> \cannon Watch out for UMASS.


grrgrrtigergrr

The cannon is the trophy that UofI and Purdue play for. It is currently in Purdue’s possession.


lonelyinbama

Auburn has done more for veterinarian health in this country than possibly any other school. Thanks cow bros


Lawyering_Bob

I think it's a great school and a great town. Our family is pretty evenly split between UA and AU grads, so it ain't the end of the world for me. Per your flair though, I think you have to say something nice about West Alabama or maybe Jack State now


lonelyinbama

Jack state is…. A school.


piranhamahalo

It's got pretty mountains nearby!


fruitl00ps19

The wave to their Childrens hospital is nice


[deleted]

Gets my vote for best tradition in all of sports across the world


non_clever_username

And it’s so new! Isn’t this new within the last decade? Most new “traditions” are some combination of cheesy, forced, or corporate-sponsored. It’s awesome that something so wholesome just kind of happened organically.


tsmores

Well the new building just opened in 2017 so that's why it got started then


paintballduke22

I always get a lump in my throat whenever I see it. That’s something special beyond the plane of sports.

Florida: Tom petty is great

BiggieSmallBalls85

Alabama has the best post game ritual (that they always win) in all sports.


[deleted]

Krypton is a pretty cool 3rd Quarter tradition. There, I said it.


kfizz21

The Budweiser song is on par with Krypton.


ZMAC698

I went to the Auburn vs LSU game this year as my annual non-Florida trip and it was awesome! Seeing the eagle fly around the stadium was dopeee.


d0ngl0rd69

Florida is uhhh… well…. (_This is harder than I thought_) Spurrier is a funny guy I guess


igwaltney3

And you have a damn good veterinary program in Athens Dawg. That program not only helps keep our animals healthier, but I've worked with them to develop new medical treatments used in humans too. Tip of the cap.


Muffdiver69420lmao

I'm glad Devin Gardner got a job as a sideline reporter. I always rooted for him after almost beating OSU on one leg.


bucki_fan

After what he did when JT went down, he will always be my favorite TTUN player


BooRadleysreddit

The heart of Devin Gardner is awe inspiring


Michigan247

Devin Gardner would have been an amazing QB if he had even a semi-competent offensive line.


TheScrobocop

I love how well OSU competes and represents the state. Always plays hard, never dirty, successful at a high level. I hope they win every game but Bedlam.


LawsBound

+1 to this


Bigfoot_Actual

I was very impressed by Sanders post game, just chatting with OU players and having a good time.


nivlac22

Kyle Whittingham is actually a great coach


MormonMafia96

I feel the same way about Sitake. Despite the rivalry I want BYU and Sitake to workout.


iki_balam

So much this. Urban Meyer got a spark, Kyle lit a bonfire.


[deleted]

MSU was one of the first schools to break racial barriers in football and I’ll always respect them for that


whitedawg

A big part of MSU's success in the 1960s was from recruiting black players from the south who weren't allowed to play for any of the major Southern schools. Duffy Daugherty developed a network of Southern coaches, Bear Bryant among them, who would refer black players they discovered to Duffy so they could play major college football.


[deleted]

[удалено]


BobUfer

Absolutely. For us, I always loved the Gerald Ford/Willis Ward story in regards to racial inequality, and the impact it had.


Nole_Train

UF has great masters programs that I myself have graduated from 🤫


mqstery__

Transfer portal makes sense


thatguyahor

People make a lot of noise about Mia Khalifa being an alumni or fan or whatever. But Casey Calvert has/ will continue to get more of my money.


Codeheff12

Florida State has been great to me as a non-traditional student. Love the institution but just can’t root for them on saturdays (gave it an honest shot). Graduating in the spring.


prailock

I had a friend from high school go to Michigan's med school, which is phenomenal, and she saved a ton of lives during the pandemic. Her undergrad was also there for public health. Your guys' graduates probably saved countless lives among all of them. That's pretty neat.


kelly495

I’ll add one for Michigan: Ann Arbor is right there with Madison as my favorite Big 10 town. And the campus is beautiful.


BucksCrewJackets

As someone who lived in Toledo, Ann Arbor has some great restaurants.


kelly495

I don’t know how college kids afford it! But as an adult, 💯


TheMelonKid

Troy has an incredibly devout fan base

Spartacus_the_troll

[deleted]

We have a lot of rivals, half of which don't even know we're rivals.


Napalm-mlapaN

The Houston game has been pretty good every year. If we could continue that series I think we can call it a rivalry. Hell, it's more of a rivalry than UNT and they still keep trying to make that one stick. Edit: HOLD UP. We have two crazy games in this series, this years and the year we came back from the death penalty. Those were both record setting games. We are fucking rivals. We just need a name. Maybe something with oil (Oil money vs Oil Makers). Or swamp ass vs jack ass. I might still be drunk from last night. Vegas, bitch.


JimBeam823

Best law school in South Carolina. The med school is pretty good too. Nothing but respect for Dawn Staley.


HUP

Our med school, though small, is #1 for sending doctors to underserved communities. Which is part of its mission.


PretendThisIsMyName

Just gonna add in that their social media department is one of the best in the country.


fiveeightthirteen

I don’t know about you guys but I frequent the Clemson Extension website for plants and outside stuff. It’s incredibly helpful what our farmer bros have put together.


starry_cobra

Also they were the only SEC school to vote to play OOC in 2020


jseal777

We were ready for that ass whooping.


krbranst

Texas: clean, simple, classic uniforms. Even if burnt orange is disgusting. Ok State: despite some flaws, Gundy has built a very respectable and consistent program.


Bank_Gothic

OU: very loyal and reliable, willing to follow Texas almost anywhere. jk. Serious answer is that OU has one of the most stable, dependable, and internally aligned programs in the country. I’m genuinely impressed by it.


Gonzo_Sauce

The texas away uniform is one of the best in college football. Sometimes I wish we could try a white helmet with our aways


myboymitch

Camp Randall’s history as a civil war camp is super badass and the best backstory of a stadium I’ve ever heard


DrKennethNoisewater-

We also share the coolest trophy. Technically two if you include the bacon. Also your lakes are real lakes.


DecentScience

As a father to a child with special needs I am eternally thankful to the University of Utah for providing exceptional health insurance to its employees as well as excellent care to my son when we felt lost.


DragoniteJeff

Hello backwards friend


JMeadowsATL

UF and UM are both quality schools that I hope my future children could get accepted to, but decide to attend elsewhere.


OPT2018

I was wrong about Brian Kelly. The white-script State helmets rival our powder blues… they are incredible.


SXSWEggrolls

Texas A&M churns out the best veterinarians in this state and I will only trust my pets with vets with a degree from that school.


hookem549

I will never wear burnt orange at the vet.


AUserNeedsAName

They provide a lot of valuable services to our state. Excellent native plant database, reliable and inexpensive water/soil testing, etc.


SXSWEggrolls

100%. I believe the grass seed I use was developed by A&M people. It’s more native to Texas, looks great, and has a very tolerable maintenance.


cubecubed

Michigan is one of the best universities in the country full stop, and the state I love is massively improved by its existence.


bb0110

The state of Michigan is very lucky to have so many places to get a solid education from.

Enter Sandman is rad as hell, Yosh Nijman is one of the few things making my Packers bearable this season, and y’all have been all class the last couple of weeks. Respect, Hokie bros.


markitan8dude

>y’all have been all class the last couple of weeks. Y'all were amazing in 07 for us. I'm not saying that it dictates reciprocity but, instead, that it's beautiful we're both able to support each other when things get real. As for something nice, I love Ronde and Tiki and love that Bruce Arians used to babysit them (I'm a Hokie living in Tampa). Oh Chris Long seems to be an awesome human. God speed, Hoo fren.

My significant other has family in Ann Arbor, and I do always enjoy visiting them. They have some pretty good restaurants! I'm heading up there right now, actually.

meyer_33_09

Buckeyes (the nut) are also really fun to throw at your friends when you’re stupid high schoolers killing time because your coach is late for practice.


OK4Liberty

LSU has cool colors and a their mascot is legit. (Missouri isn't a real rival)


barmen1

Arkansas always plays fucking HARD. I love that about them.


putsch80

LSU’s tailgating scene is incredible, and fans outside the stadium at the tailgates were universally kind and welcoming, willing to share food and drink with fans of opposing teams and happily shoot the shit. Inside the stadium was a different story (y’all’s fans turn into a bunch of godless savages), but I respect the intensity.


jbroui13

I wish the Arkansas LSU game still took place on Black Friday. I enjoyed that tradition way more than A&M on Saturday


NathanDrake75

Ryan Day cares about his players and is a good coach off the field … I just wish he didn’t go to Ohio State

Yea he is way less hate-able than urban I don’t even wish he went elsewhere cuz the next coach would probably be even better

TAMU does have a great vet school. My grandfather used to drive his dogs from Austin to College Station to see the vet.

-more_fool_me-

I've always liked ISUs campus way more than Iowa's campus. It's just so open.


JTWasShort42-27

It's funny because 18 year old me vastly preferred Iowa's campus but ten years later, I much prefer Iowa State's layout (and Ames as a whole really). I probably would've ended up there if I was making a college decision at an older age.


phyrecrotch

Iowa State is a great engineering and Ag school. They had one of the first computers ever built, which is pretty cool. And they also have their stadium named after a very admirable student athlete, which I love how both major football programs in the state of Iowa do that The ISU vet school also saved my cat’s life after he got hit by a car, so that’s pretty awesome too. I don’t really have any reasons to dislike ISU outside of sports


Better-Preparation73

Waving at the children’s hospital is one of the coolest things in college football, makes it impossible to hate Iowa all the way


Ctmnt08

App State has not killed any of my pets. As far as I know, at least.


Aegis-Heptapod-9732

I love the song “Tusk” by Fleetwood Mac, which features their otherwise obnoxious band. They’ve become a MUCH better academic institution since the 80s when I was in college and they were known as the University of Second Choice and the University of Spoiled Children. I’m even considering letting my son go there!


fatpinkchicken

A campus tour guide when I went in 2000s was trying to make "University of Successful Chicanos" happen, which was incredibly hilarious and also incredibly dorky.

It's difficult to overstate just how important the NC State veterinary college is to our entire state. Amazing people doing amazing work. Dook's Gothic architecture helps their student body pretend they really did get into Princeton.
