UD is...
"Salty." (Scott McLemee)
"Unvarnished." (Phi Beta Cons)
"Splendidly splenetic." (Culture Industry)
"Except for University Diaries, most academic blogs are tedious."
(Rate Your Students)
"I think of Soltan as the Maureen Dowd of the blogosphere,
except that Maureen Dowd is kind of a wrecking ball of a writer,
and Soltan isn't. For the life of me, I can't figure out her
politics, but she's pretty fabulous, so who gives a damn?"

Fulmer Cup

Okay, so thanks to a reader, Red Stater, UD now knows about the Fulmer Cup.

The Fulmer Cup is a yearly competition for the most criminal university athletic team. Based on a numerical system in which the more heinous the crime (felony burglary, dealing cocaine, felony armed robbery, aggravated battery, misdemeanor assault, etc.) the more points your school receives, the Fulmer Cup recognizes exceptional criminality on some of our most competitive sports teams.

The current top five schools, and their point totals, are:

1:Illinois - 24
2:Penn State - 21
3:Idaho - 17
4:Michigan - 12
5:Florida - 11
