I just realized how close Wazzu and Uni of Idaho are. Just a few miles. Nuts.

Do the student bodies think of themselves as equals, BYU vs UVU, or BYU vs UU?

Washington in general looks down on Idaho

Back when drinking age in Idaho was still 19, Wazzu students would drive across the border to drink.

But you still have to drive to Montana to get Everclear.

The Vandals even used Martin Stadium as their home stadium at one point.

Wait until you realize that Idaho was a member of the Pac 12's predecessor...

This is a very enlightening revelation

Since COVID I have seen many call themselves Wazzoomers. Maybe it will stick?

and NC State is 25 miles from UNC. Crazy you have 3 that close together.

And Wake Forest isn't too far away either. Four ACC schools close together.

Harvard and Boston College are just across the Charles River from one another.

Tarbo

10/22/20 10:59am

I think it's across from BU. BC is more inland.

10/22/20 11:18am

Harvard, BU, MIT, Tufts, and Northeastern within miles of each other

10/22/20 11:28am

Thinking of schools with football teams. Add others please.

Tarbo

All of those school have a football team. Most are DIII, but they play football

Too bad they both aren't in the Pac-12. That would be a lot of fun.
