We won the first ever annual Rose Bowl...we beat Brown 14-0!
Our first school colors were baby pink and baby blue (the colors of the sunset here on the Palouse) and our mascot was a terrier named Squirt.
Second largest Greek System in the PAC 10
We had to be shut down early in 1980 and the students sent home due to the Mt. St. Helens eruption covering campus in an inch of volcanic ash
We have a dairy on campus that makes world famous cheese (Cougar Gold) and some of the best ice cream around
We are the most rural of all PAC 10 schools. (70 miles to the nearest "city")
Our clock tower chimes in the keys of G and C for "Go Cougs"

The campus is made out of concrete, exterior and interior.
More about the architecture.... We are one of the two schools in the nation that has kept the same theme of architecture throughout all of the buildings.
Our campus was designed by Paul Rudolph for a college in Texas but in the end ended up in Massachusetts.
We currently have a grant studying botulism. I tell families that on the tours and they get freaked out.

my school is located at the beach
Dawson's Creek, One Tree Hill, plus many movies have been filmed on our campus (Wilmington has the third largest movie production studio in the US)
on a side note, Val Kilmer tried to get into one of our social functions downtown once but he couldnt get in because it was a closed event

The Microsoft-will-pay-you-for-forwarding-this-e-mail originated at ISU!
Something to be proud of besides that one Mystery Science Theater 3000 episode about the Iowa State College of Home Economics!

Well I do believe we are the only school that pepper sprays it's football fans.
Oh and does any other school go around and round up all spare couches before big football games so they won't be burned?

Our city and university have tear gas in 4 distinct flavors. None were that tastful during the riot but they were stupid enough to shoot them into the wind so they didnt do much for crowd dispersal.
As for couches... we've had a few. In the past there have been sections of road that had to be replaced as the couch fires destroyed the asphalt.

No, but the city did pass a resolution banning couches on porches after students set them on fire in riots.
Ahhhhh.... Boulder.

We have the second largest group of interconnecting buildings in the world - second only to the Pentagon.
