We didn't make it either. How will they cope with this and their low rated signing class?

I feel a bill coming in the MS legislature to correct this travesty.

It's all that Steve Robertson's fault. If he hadn't been snooping around the campus would have easily made the list.

B.S. I've been there many times, its nice...but not the #3 campus in the country.

Perception is reality...for some.

Sewanee is definitely beautiful! The former SEC champ has won only 1 game in the last two years in DIII. Maybe something for UNM to strive for!

I'll admit, the grove is beautiful, but the grove alone does not a beautiful campus make. Everything else about their campus is AVERAGE at absolute best.

Anyone who actually believes Ole Miss is one of the top 20 most beautiful campuses in the country needs to get out more. That is the most self aggrandizing group of people I've ever seen.

Taking off my maroon glasses, I think the OM campus is attractive enough. Around the center of campus, they have a unifying brick design and the architecture isn't as big a crapshoot as MSU.

However, there are just as many pretty campii in the State of Mississippi, much less the US. The prettiest campus I was ever on was Rhodes college, where every building had a round-brick design.

The NCAA people are ugly, so they must have been on campus creating a false sense of ugly when this determination was made. So in other words, it's another way the NCAA is hurting OM, and this ranking should be credited towards probation.*

Architecture crapshoot? Only thing I can think out of place really is the space needle building.

Admitting OM has a nice campus doesn't make your dick smaller (at least I don't think it does**). They do.

Guess what: we have a nice campus too. In fact, most of the campuses in the SEC are gorgeous. The difference, is anytime some article mentions the OM campus, and its beauty, their rubes sing it to the heavens demanding everyone look in awe. We get it: now stfu.

I really don't care that they get attention, or that they eat it up like they do. All of your OM buddies and coworkers love to bring this topic up to get under your skins. Who the **** cares?

I don't care who you are...OM fan, LSU fan, Bama fan, or Kaiser Soze...no person in their right mind would say this doesn't fall under the definition of "beauty"....

I'd also throw in Simrall and Allen Hall as out of place architecturally.

The business school is also different but the color of the bricks masks it pretty well.

McCool is pretty horrendous from the front, IMO, but the renovated area in the rear is how all our future constructions should be handled; it looks great.

For those of us that haven't been on the unm campus lately, maybe we need to organize a mission trip. I'm sure the Reverend Freeze would be glad to speak at our event.****

Did State dye the brick in the front and sides of McCool when they did the expansion/renovation? I think the brick used to be more orange, like Dorman Hall.

I don't care for all the red tin roofs on every one of their buildings. Yes their campus is nice, but I believe it's pretty much on par with most other colleges. Meaning average. No way they are a top 20 campus in nation.

It used to be worse, but yeah. There are very few buildings that are visually similar, and a lot of just plain bad designs. McCool Hall is a Post-modern pile of garbage (and the addition couldn't really help). So is the new Library addition and the CAC. You've got mediocre Modern designs like Allen, Bost, Dorman, etc. And you've got some really lovely Beaux Arts buildings like Lee & Montgomery Halls or Italianate buildings like the YMCA or the Industrial Eng building.

At least now, the University has figured out they can't let MS architects do whatever they feel like and to stick to some common guidelines.

In recruiting teams, beautiful campus was code for a bag of cash from the network.
