San Antonio, the third-dumbest city in the nation?

[Duncan]

I don't understand what #53 of 55 total means?

San Antonio is laid back 'n stuff, so seeing as how it's okay to arrive 10 minutes late to everything, SA misses out on 10% less edumacations. or is it 15%?

So I guess this explains Spur fans, doesn't it?

If someone needs to explain Spurs fans to you, then who needs the education; the explainer or the explainee?

Without question.

I thought this was an interesting take on the survey results, from the San Antonio Current:

Hey, who cares if the pointy-headed four-eyes over at Dailybeast.com ranked the Alamo City 53rd out of 55 in its list of “America’s Smartest Cities?” The Beast don’t know us like that, y’all (the accompanying photo to San Antonio’s rather snarked-out entry features a cadre of Battle of the Alamo re-enactors, btw— hardly representative of our most innovative thinkers, verdad?) We’re a uva lot more intellectually gifted than we look. San Antonio might not boast as many graduate degree-holders as Louisville, Kentucky (?!) or as many bookstores as Seattle, but , that’s not because we’re dumb. IT’S BECAUSE WE’RE POOR.

i don't know but something about the fanbase you belong to and the button up collard shirts they wear under their jerseys scream in' to me. is dallas a big moron city like utah? oh my bad, i meant mormon...

I'm just mad they decided to put Las Vegas and Fresno behind us.

So basically, what they're telling me is, San Antonians are smarter than only pros utes and illegals? (Oh, sorry, I mean "opportunists" and "resourceful dream-seekers.")

Really? We can't even beat out those two demographics?

New Orleans deserves to be behind us on the basis that A)that their forefathers decided to build a city below sea level, and B)when a big-ass hurricane was headed straight for them, they didn't leave!

Portland deserves to be behind us because they drafted Greg Oden.

The entire state of New Jersey deserves to be behind us because they invented the guido.

L.A. deserves to be behind us because of The Hills.

I think we need more coffee houses in San Antonio. And people wearing berets! What's different is I don't talk about postmodernism at coffee houses, it's mostly chatter about work or my sex life.

It's more fun when your talk of work and sex lives intertwine.

More than claiming to be any measure of intelligence, this study really shows the overall commitment to higher education in an area. It is not news to anyone in the field that this is lacking in San Antonio.

[CosmicCowboy]

Third dumbest? After spending a little time in the political forum this does not surprise me.

[sonic21]

So.... the top 11 are all in "blue" states.... 9 of worst 14 are in "red" states....

[LnGrrrR]

I figured Boston would be high. MIT, Harvard, etc etc.

This is not a surprise given the discussions I have in the NBA Forum.
