Wesleying deserves to win

the Michigan OTR is awful, has anyone ever read it? Wesleyan has 2500 (ish) students, Michigan has practically a trillion. This is not a fair match up, anyone who notices or cares about substance would clearly prefer Wesleying, is school loyalty or empty bravado was not an issue. I want a recount.

Why only some school blogs?

How were the school blogs on the list chosen? For example, I'd suggest the student-run school blogs at Ohio Wesleyan University...at: http://scribe.owu.edu

What does "best" mean?

If "best" is tantamount to "largest audience", then FOXnews is the highest standard of journalistic integrity.

wesleyan is clearly not rigging it, you can't rig it if there is ip tracking, and they aren't winning.

well judging by the fact that wesleyan has had like 10 comments combined on their past 25 posts, I don't really think it is worth a damn anyway.

Pathetically? What's wrong with a simple question?

What does that even mean? Did you attend Wesleying?

LETS GO BLUE!

The Michigan OTR is clearly the best. Its entertaining, it often discusses issues that are important on campus, and its contributors are witty and talented!

Hail to the Victors!
