I used to think the same.

Then I saw this promo video for the U. It had flocks of geeks dancing around to saxophone music. My initial reaction was "holy cow, the U has a bunch of people who look like tunnel singers." Then, as the video went on a more and more nerds were frolicking around their campus, I began to wonder if they actually have a larger critical mass of such weirdos than we do.

The backlash was swift, Ute PR dept tried to remove the video and pretend it never happened, but luckily it has been preserved.
