Playboy Names UT Top Party School In The Country

Your beloved University of Texas has been named the top party school in America by the esteemed academic rankings powerhouse Playboy magazine.

“The verdict is in,” the list begins. “The number one party school in the land is the University of Texas at Austin. Big-time sports, gorgeous babes, great academics in an awesome town: Texas has it all. It’s good to be a Longhorn.”

UT beat out West Virginia University and the University of Wisconsin-Madison in the highly scientific list to capture the top spot. No other schools in Texas made the top 10. Take that, Aggies!

Here’s what the folks at Playboy had to say about UT:

“The Longhorns football team fell just short in the national championship game, but here’s a victory the entire school can claim a part of. We’re talking to you, bikinied coed in Devil’s Cove, and you, star wide receiver Jordan Shipley, and even the humanities library, which just purchased David Foster Wallace’s papers. When you add up academics, the weather, the liberal atmosphere, South by Southwest, game day and the nightlife on Sixth Street, UT Austin is one heck of a school. Hook ’em, Horns!”

Apparently, according to the Austin Business Journal, the determination was made by the magazine’s editors, campus representatives, models(!), photographers, online voters, and student readers.

Not sure whether to feel proud or icky after that.

Representing the Longhorns as a bunny is Jenna Lea Deforke (all we’ll show you is her pretty mug), a former College of Education student and Playboy‘s February 2007 “Coed of the Month.”

Bonus: As part of the list’s Honorable Mention roll, Colt McCoy’s fiance Rachel Glandorf (who goes to Baylor) was named Hottest College Girlfriend. Congrats, Colt?
