12.15.06 NEW FAVORITE SPORT: UNDERWEAR RUNNING
I was a fucking stupid 17-year-old. I had a great GPA and a good SAT score, and I decided to go to Northwestern. I based this decision off of things like the US News & World Report's college rankings and buildings with ivy on them. What I should have taken into account was the fact that I needed a parka for most of the school year in a town that was the heart of the temperance movement in the early 20th century.
I should have gone to UCLA. As LAist documents in a delightful photo essay, the students there have a midnight "Undie Run" on the third day of finals week.
Just look at those kids. So stressed out from all the studying. Seriously, Northwestern: Stop asking me for money.

NEW FAVORITE SPORT: UNDERWEAR RUNNING
I don’t know man. There are at least two girls (it’s like playing where’s waldo, they’re not hard to find) in that photo that I would not have carnal relations with. But if you throw in some liqour drinks, OK, they can party too.
No shit, you went to NU, CC? Me too. There actually was an undie run at Northwestern (spring quarter reading week, run to and in the library…yes we’re huge dorks) but it was rather poorly attended. If I remember correctly, my buddy Brendan got a DUI that day driving to see it.
What the primal scream didn’t get your rocks off?
This doesn’t compare to streaking the Lawn at Virginia and then getting back to the Rotunda steps to find my pantaloons had been stolen.
No way, Rob. You streaked the Lawn? I may have seen you naked. Lord Jesus.
Siobhan didn’t actually go to UVA; she was just there to see naked young men.
MattWithLeather–if you did ROTC too, then we were the same teenager. The same dumb, misguided teenager. I ran around in my underwear in college, but that was only to get to the TV when I heard the Simpsons theme. Still pretty sexy though.
When do we start comparing SAT scores?
I did TOO go to UVA. Butit’s true that I still like to see young naked men. No doubt about it.
Oh, Jack, you’re so cute when you’re like this.
Naked Mile > Undie Run. Winner: Michigan. #3 in the polls, #1 in attracting sex offenders to campus
I’ll take UCLA’s coeds over Michigan’s.
USC and Florida might have strong claims to *that* national title.
Leave it to UCLA to do a half-assed job of ripping off Cal. It’s naked or nothing, Baby. Meet at the Campanile at midnight.
Too many aspiring anorexics in that photo.
This is nothing compared to the Eastern Michigan “Don’t get shot or raped” Mile
