<p>Michigan comes to mind first. Then maybe USC? I don't see too many people in Cal getting too excited about their school. </p>
<p>on a side note: I went to visit Stanford yesterday for fun (I live in the east bay) and wow, holy **** Stanford shopping center is like a rich people gathering place (The only LV other than the one in SF?). The school itself is hugeeeeeeeee it felt so different from the "crammed" Berkeley.</p>

<p>I think Notre Dame and Texas A&M would probably fit into the top 10</p>
<p>UNC Chapel Hill! :)</p>
<p>Usc .</p>
<p>I think Cal has a ton of school spirit when you consider how much emphasis is put on academics there.</p>
<p>My top-10 would be: </p>
<p>Michigan
UNC-Chapel Hill
Notre Dame
Wisconsin
Boston College
Oregon
Duke
Ohio State
Cal
UVA</p>

<p>I would certainly include USC in there. Does UCLA have more spirit than Cal?</p>
<p>I'd add Penn State too.</p>
<p>Texas A&M for sure...it's nearly cult-like.</p>
<p>UT Austin ---Hook 'Em Horns</p>
<p>I agree with UT Austin. Every home football game is like Mardi Gras and when they play Texas A&M, it's like new year's eve in 1999. Everyone wears burnt orange all the time. They LOVE their Longhorns. Hook 'Em.</p>
<p>Clearly you prior posters are not from the South, and it looks like everyone on this thread is just going to tout his or her school or regional schools -- so I guess I'll do the same. Clemson fans are a virtual cult, and Alabama, LSU and FSU are pretty "spirited" as well.</p>
<p>I'd have to add Penn State.</p>
<p>Go 'Noles! :)</p>
<p>I would say USC, even when you exclude the school spirit associated with the sports teams. The alumni network does a great job supporting the school. Donations by alumni and supporters consistently rank in the top 3 among all schools in the country (with Harvard and Stanford usually right ahead or behind).</p>

<p>How great was the school spirit at USC in football those lean years in the 80's and 90's?</p>
<p>^ Dude, L.A. is now chock full of USC bandwagon fans. When L.A. gets pro football back and USC again has some lean years, watch how quickly those bandwagon fans hop off...</p>
<p>Guys, school spirit is not the same thing as the fan support for the football team, OK?</p>
<p>USC alumni have always been proud of their school, and people say it was more so than right now.</p>
<p>Sharkiez, </p>
<p>vc08 is a teen USC hater, how do you think of his opinion:) He said he is going to UCLA but constantly promoting CAL. It is especially skeptical since even most of CAL alumni think UCLA has more school pride than CAL.</p>
