i can only speak on behalf of the big 12, but all the SIDs i worked with say that manhattan is the worst, followed by lubbock, then ames. waco's probably after that. i don't know a ton about stillwater. i've been to lincoln, which is kind of boring but seems mostly alright, and lawrence which seemed pretty similar to columbia. my problem with lawrence is that the campus is built on a hill and i'm fat so it was a bitch walking to and from the stadium. Stillwater fits as a cowtown. The people there take that as a compliment.
