You guys are hilarious.

Comparing Milwaukee to Spokane is like comparing Milwaukee to Dubuque.

You just can't.

Look, here's the reality: Players will go anywhere for the right coach and the right circumstance. If you're getting your best shot at the NBA and a good education to boot, even Rock Island, IL or Wilkes Barre, PA would look good. Nobody gave a darn what Milwaukee was like when Al McGuire was coach. You came for Al and you found your way. Ditto for Spokane with Mark Few.  Gonzaga hires a great coach when Coach Few retires and players will beat a path to Spokane.

Louisville, KY is no great Mecca of urban wonderland either. But when Slick Rick and Denny Crum were winning, great players found their way!

Why so serious?

This is true. Look at the home of the last two National Champs; Waco and Lawrence. Yuk!

Or East Lansing, MI?  Bloomington, IN? Storrs, CT?

Players will go anywhere, if that's where their coach is, or if that's where their best opportunity is.

Bloomington is actually a really nice college town. You've been watching Breaking Away too much, cutter!

For Kansas, yes. A KU grad told me how great it was, then I visited. 'Great' wasn't the word I would use. Compared to Manhattan, KS, maybe. (never been there)

Agreed that East Lansing sucks. A bunch of my friends went to State and I never really enjoyed visiting. As a town, Ann Arbor is much better

There’s a difference between East Lansing and Lansing, EL is a college town, so much to do on Grand River. Used to visit friends there and bar hop, rooftop restaurants, etc. Just don’t go towards downtown Lansing.

East Lansing is the best........................ for sexually assaulting girls.

Waco is a close second.

Janet Reno should have burned the entire area down back in the day. Waco is nasty, maybe as nasty as Champaign-Urbana.

I visited Waco when a MU friend worked there. Hell hole was being generous.

The worst college towns I've visited are Pullman, WA, Columbia, MO, West Lafayette, IN, and Piscataway, NJ

Waco has something a lot of college towns don’t have.  They have a recent national champ in men’s hoops and a fantastic head football coach
