#1 rush chairmen signed Hoseman. Interpret however you would like.

- You are such an idiot Spencer I was not using a dwarf hunter that summer I was using a Tauren Hunter. Looking back on that summer maybe it wasn’t that great of an idea to play online vidoe gaems 23.75 hrs a day for 3 straight months straight.

- I have to assume Colwell was only signed as desperate attempt to get Towler in the house. Though that ended up working out horrible for everyone invovled I would have to admit it was worth the risk.

Honorable mention needs to go to Silas Flores. He signed Westberg, as well as six other guys who were solely responsible for almost turning into the modern day Dekes. Then again, I assume Siegel had a lot to do with Westberg’s signing, so I’ll credit that to Adam and let Silas reclaim his spot as one of the worst human beings on the planet.

As Beef mentioned, objectivity seems to be lacking from your rankings. I might not be in a position to judge here but let me list some undeniable evidence that you grossly inflated your summer rush value: Zach McPherson, Petey Pab, Chase, Ian Hargus, Clint Russel, Nate Welch…For brevity’s sake let’s just say everyone besides my little bro who smoked an unhealthy amount of weed (can’t quite recall his name…adam maybe?). That said, I will admit that I too was wooed by Kevin’s ultra-fratty alter-ego. Here are some bits of the Big Dog wisdom that made him a great rush chair: “why live in a boring old dorm when you could be paying the same price to be living in a house drinking beer and getting on chicks all the time?” and my favorite “yeah this is the party room, we have to redo the floor every couple years because it gets so much foot traffic.” I’ll give you bonus points for blatantly lying with a straight face while treating me to “rush events” like watching you, Justin, Fandel, and Lervold play Halo. Thanks again, Kev.

Also Trevor, Ryder and I have no business on any kind of best rush chair list (regardless if you only have 5 options to choose from). Some blame, however, must be placed on the treasurer and president who were too concerned with leveling up their ringwraiths and dwarf hunters to notice that we were thousands of dollars over budget before signing our first guy. And, although our unique strategy of solely recruiting dudes who had no intention of hopes of enrolling at UW didn’t pay off I still think we should get some extra recognition for spending an entire day shoveling various types of maggot-infested rotten meats out of an industrial fridge and battling the mutated monster flies it spawned.

I’m honored. I can’t wait til we get to do a VH1 behind the Rush summer. It will be revealed (to absolutely no one’s surprise) that Loren and I had to fight Sparks tooth and nail every step of the way. It will be like the awesome Styx Behind the Music. Sparks wanted to do Mr. Robato while Loren and I wanted to stick to the ole’ rock and rollin ways. Sparks definitely brought something unique to the table, yet I still can’t figure out exactly what it is. Let’s call it the Lovable Monster theory. I will go on record that I would definitely put Kris Krustangel and Josh Robinson ahead of our group on the list. I’m sure Loren and Trevor would agree, since that’s why we joined the house. If not for Josh pegging random M’s fans in the back of the head with peanuts from less than 3 feet away, I’d be Chi Psi or some other horrendous thing. I do think that we could take all comers for athletic supremacy though (if we could cut Loren).

Don’t forget Marcos and that guy who dropped the house to pursue a choir major…… I think we signed them as well.

So flawed. #1 is clearly Kowalski, Stahnke, and Camm. They signed Barrett Price and the Nerpals. Case closed.

Oh, it’s not closed? How about Colwell and Towler too? Chew on that gristle for awhile and come back with a list that makes sense.

Also, I’m not sure if any of those three were actually rush chairs, but whoever signed those guys is #1 in my book. The book I’m referring to is, of course, The Book Of People Who Must Be Crushed Into Dust With A Giant Hammer. I’ve got a couple publishers interested so far, but nothing concrete yet.

This post is great (or fucking awesome! – in fraternese), but I think what you’ve attempted here is too ambitious, and perhaps too difficult to pull-off with any semblance of objectivity. I think that everyone of us has a soft-spot for the dudes who signed us – I think most in my class would give porter/robinson the nod for the #1 slot – anyway, Adam is gonna blow a gasket when he sees that Sparks performance as rush-chair has finally been validated by electronic media. Bravo.
