Only the SEC has hot coeds.

The number of hot girls at Michigan vs any SEC school isnt close lol
September 16th, 2013 at 8:12 AM ^
I'm sure this is just SEC bias showing, but like Miss St. getting major rub because they play in the SEC, Kentucky and Arkansas sure do get some "hot girl" rub being in the same conference at Ole Miss, Georgia, and Florida.

Kentucky thing started (IMO) mainly because of Ashley Judd. Not saying it isn't true, just saying that my roommate and I were very close to driving down to UK one day to attend a Wildcat club hockey game for a complimentary "Ashley Judd in nothing but a hockey sweater" schedule poster.
Actually, the rest of their posters are pretty good, too.
September 16th, 2013 at 9:31 AM ^
They still sell them at the games they have had better posters she isn't that hot and yes UK has a ton of hot girls running around. We both played at Midnight makes for a fun interesting crowd. Every game is sold out so you gotta stand in line early if you wanted to do so.

I remember that calendar hanging in the Coach and 4 and wondering why I hadn't gone to Kentucky.
But yeah, it's a school that got a lot of buzz because a pretty cute actress went there. I mean, Lucy Liu went to UM and she's rather attractive, but because she doesn't pop up at basketball games people forget that.

The problem I always felt was that the hottest girls at Michigan were just as the hottest girls elsewhere but there were too few of them compared to other campuses.

September 16th, 2013 at 8:50 AM ^
This is so true. Was there some exchange program?

Although the Bears went winless my senior year...

HAIL!

cry out for visuals.
And this thumb from an earlier pageant, where she evidently was Miss Michigan:
September 16th, 2013 at 12:50 AM ^
Reading comprehension fails me.
September 16th, 2013 at 10:58 AM ^
...is very nice.
September 16th, 2013 at 3:11 PM ^
Unfortunately with wrap after walking the stage...
And she was rocking the maize in her evening gown/winner's outfit.
September 16th, 2013 at 12:17 AM ^
As much as I loved Michigan, I always felt the girls were too smart & classy. Michigan State girls - hot, dumb, and slutty - have always been more my speed.
September 16th, 2013 at 12:20 AM ^
No one cares.

It looks like she has an alumni entry in the UM directory. I don't think MSU's online directory shows alumni, so I'm not sure how to check on that one.
September 16th, 2013 at 12:50 AM ^
According to some other Twitter people, she spent a semester at MSU, before coming to UM, where she graduated
September 16th, 2013 at 12:56 AM ^
I have tons of friends that are friends of hers. She defintely went and graduated from Michigan.
September 16th, 2013 at 12:57 AM ^
She almost got beat by Miss Akron. It was really intense.
September 16th, 2013 at 1:26 AM ^
September 16th, 2013 at 1:35 AM ^
I wonder how many points the Akron metaphor would have gotten in the posbang era?

the interwebs! Thanks for the lol on a Monday morning.
Methinks this is perfect for, but too late to end up in, TWIS.

Reading the comments section from the article in the original post makes me weep for this country.

From Jezebel.com:
Two days before the 2013 Miss America pageant, Miss New York Nina Dalvuluri —the self-proclaimed Miss Diversity — was allegedly caught on tape calling outgoing Miss America Mallory Hagan "fat as fuck."* Keep it classy, ladies. Another beauty queen overheard and taped Dalvuluri's conversation in a hotel room on July 16th, during which a friend of Dalvuluri's also made racist remarks. The recording has been making the rounds on the pageant circuit and brought to the board of the Miss America pageant. Hagan's rep says there is no validity to the story whatsoever, but Dalvuluri sent her a Facebook apology:
“I want to apologize for the awful statements made by people in my room . . . There were people who claimed to be my supporters and said things I never agreed with, nor supported . . . I was never a part of the words or statements that may have been hurtful . . . I’m sorry if someone said something that was inappropriate.”

But what you say in privacy vs. what you say in public....I mean, in our living room my wife said "ohmygod she's so big" and then they showed the last year pics, and she's certainly put on a pound or twenty. I wouldn't say "fat", but certainly not what you'd expect the reigning Miss America to look like. Hey, after you've completed your responsibilities go wild. I mean, some of them are way too skinny anyway. That's why I like the winner (and a few others) who actually have some shape and when they turn their hips their stomach doesn't look like I should be donating money to UNICEF.

Rima Fakih, who was a University Of Michigan-Dearborn student and graduate, was the 2010 winner of Miss USA, which is actually a different competition (Miss America dates back to the 1920s, whereas Miss USA started in the 1950s, I believe).
September 16th, 2013 at 9:01 AM ^
ALL YOUR PAGEANT ARE BELONG TO US!!
September 16th, 2013 at 3:20 PM ^
I think Miss USA competes in the Miss Universe pagent, primarily. They're the Trump pagents. (Though I just found out last night there's something called Miss World too that Miss America might go on to compete in).
September 16th, 2013 at 5:45 AM ^
Congrats! Welcome to the club with Kate Upton
September 16th, 2013 at 6:35 AM ^
Congrats to Nina! Her sister is a good friend of mine.
In related news, this makes me weep for America.
