The Denver Boot was invented by Frank Marugg, I have read the University of Denver's Alumni site and it does list Winter's as the inventor, so if anyone has more information about this, it would be appreciated [[User:64.140.0.3|64.140.0.3]] 07:04, 1 August 2007 (UTC)

There is word that Denver will be fielding a football team soon. This website may help: [1]

University of Denver is primarily in the University neighborhood. See this pdf from the City and County of Denver: [2]

A lot of the text here seems to have been written by the school itself and certainly violates NPOV...

I imagine a lot of it is from the DU website.

If there's a lack of controversey, i guess you could make one up. Would that NPOV it?

"David Maxwell - Lives in 304 and loves the crockpot" article vandalism, I looked up the edit history and saw that this was indeed vandalism, removed it Cananadian402 20:40, 15 February 2007 (UTC)[reply]

The "Background and Rankings" section states that the reverse initials -- i.e. DU -- is a common theme amongst Midwestern universities. It cites University of Oklahoma (OU), University of Colorado (CU) and University of Kansas (KU) as examples. This is wrong on two accounts: a) none of these states are in the Midwest and b) none of the universities that are actually in the Midwest (e.g. University of Michigan, University of Illinois, University of Cincinnati) format their initials this way. -- Stereoisomer 04:11, 3 March 2007 (UTC)[reply]
