FSU used to always rank pretty high on these rankings. Based on some of the posters around here, I can't believe Iowa never made the list.
Did Iowa ever win the Playboy "party school of the year" award?

About 20 years ago, I had a good friend in Panama City that was from Iowa. She was a lot of fun but nothing crazy. Then, one weekend, a few of her guy friends from Iowa came down to Panama City to visit. We partied with those guys all weekend long and they were certifiably insane! Me and my buddies were never one to shy away from a party but those dudes were on another level.

Iowa was regularly Top 10 u til the anti-boozers gained lower.
Didn't some publication back in the day rank party dorms? Burge #1? I recall hearing this. Myth?
In 2014 Iowa won the Princton Review number 1 party school. It seems like I remember them getting ranked in Playboy, but when I did a Google search of Playboy party I got side tracked
I don't know what party potatoes are, but apparently they have them in Iowa. Rock on.
It's another one of their weird food jokes. Like Casey's pizza.
Gotcha. Have to learn the local customs and favorite items and places. BTW, what are the best beaches in Iowa?
I think a “party potato” in Iowa is like what was done to the apple pie in the movie American Pie.
Party potatoes are no joke dick whisker. Just ask @McLovin32
Casey’s pizza is real, Taco pizza and Buffalo chicken flatbread pizza are both quite tasty. Gotta get the whole pie fresh, The old crap single slice in the revolving case sucks.
Yeah party potatoes are the real effin deal.
No name sand bars on the Mississippi River - my favorite was referred to as “local” on NE Iowa
My favorite beach was about 30 minutes south of Jacksonville Beach. It was called "The Crossroads" because A1A and another state road intersected where you could get on the beach.
Totally lawless back in the day. You could camp, fish, drink, smoke, get naked... whatever... no lifeguards, no beach patrol, no cops. Nirvana.
The beach access is gone and there are condos there now.
Grew up in the Midwest, and it’s a whole different animal than down south. Biggest partiers imo.
I remember going to high school parties with 6 kegs plus, so I know that Iowans can get down

These are both correct. We hit #2 party school in Playboy’s 2014 rankings, and #1 in Princeton Review’s rankings a year later. (Google that year’s honorary class president, “Vodka Sam”)
Don’t forget loose-meat sandwiches (maid-rites) and it’s offspring, the walking taco. Iowa’s culinary gifts to America.
Are you telling me that you’ve never heard of the Iowa Great Lakes OR the Coralville Reservoir*?!?!
*We has some sick beaches in the Devonian Era, brah
I love me some walking taco. I'm not sure we are talking about the same thing, but I'm sure I'd like the kind you are talking about.
My knowledge of Iowa is very limited. It is one of a handful of states (mostly midwest and northwest of there) to which I have never been.

Taco pizza was invented in Bettendorf Iowa at a regional pizza chain called Happy Joe’s.
It's the Iowa take on the Frito pie, but with Doritos. Another famous Iowa/Dorito contribution like the aforementioned taco pizza.
We didn't surge into the top 5 in obesity for nothing, Trad!

A lot of time and effort goes into our fatty-fatty-bo-batty achievements.
