Ohio State, Notre Dame Make GQ List of America's Douchiest Colleges

Earlier today, KVB tried to convince everyone that Ohio State and its 102,329-person capacity stadium is the best football stadium in the Big Ten.

Well, guess what? GQ thinks that KVB, Kirk Herbstreit, and the rest of their Buckeye brethren are douches.

In fact, in its list of the 25 Douchiest Colleges in America, Ohio State came in at No. 19, right between other notable instidouchions of higher learning, Morehouse (No.20) and Boston U. (No.18). ย 

And wouldnโ€™t you know it, the tagline for Buckeye douchiness according to GQ is โ€œThe Excessive-School-Pride-Douche.โ€ GQ also says:

"

"Affectations:ย Dressing for class each morning as if you were the offensive-line coach; writing prison letters to Maurice Clarett.
Overheard at Buckeye career-building workshop:ย โ€You can put โ€˜Won a national championshipโ€™ on a rรฉsumรฉ, right?โ€ย 
Most likely to:ย Suffocate a hapless Boilermakers fan with a giant foam Number One finger, after off-hand comment about how the marching bandโ€™s โ€œScript Ohioโ€ wasnโ€™t allย thatย impressive.
Honorable-mention excessive-school-pride institutions:ย Duke, Michigan, Texas, Penn State, Yeshiva University."

"

For the recordโ€”and this should surprise no oneโ€”Indiana did not make list. Purdue, however, somehow escaped GQโ€™s wrath. ย How about the โ€œWears-Plaid-Every-Day-Doucheโ€โ€ฆthat would have worked.
