Famous Alumni thread, just for fun

[LSU_Ed]

On an LSU non sports forum yesterday someone posted about a female weather personality in New Orleans named Dawn Brown. Someone replied with no one beat Jill Brown from the Weather Channel. I agreed and decided to Google her and guess what? She's an Ohio State grad! Well, I'm going to have to excuse her for that.

Anyway, I thought it might be fun to list famous grads from both schools. I'll start with a few. I know I'm leaving out sports people, but I'm sure some will add them.

Joanne Woodward
Rex Reed
Hubert Humphrey
James Carville
Bill Conti (Oscar winning music composer)
ME!!!

Add yours from OSU although I think Jill Brown is at the top IMO.

The lists of famous LSU and of OSU alumni are well populated in Wikipedia.

Yeah, but

I can say without a doubt our best golfer was better than yours.

He just attended, isn't an alumni. But, you are correct.

Useless

The lists of famous LSU and of OSU alumni are well populated in Wikipedia.

Jill Brown wasn't listed.

He attended for more than sufficient length of time to fall within the OSU Alumni Association definition of alumnus.

8. Can I be a member if I've attended Ohio State but not graduated--or not attended at all?
Yes, nongraduates and friends of Ohio State are eligible to join the Alumni Association.
If you've completed at least 15 hours of course work at Ohio State, you're eligible for active membership. Active members have full benefits of membership, including voting privileges for the Association board of directors as well as the opportunity to participate in the Alumni Retirement Income Plan, to apply for football tickets and golf course privileges, and to buy passes to the Recreation and Physical Activity Center (RPAC) and Adventure Resource Center (ARC) campus athletic facilities.

I think it would help raise her profile if she changed her name to Tits McGee.

He was enough of an OSU alum to be granted the honor of Dotting The I...

My personal favorite, or at least the one that made me laugh the most when I found out he was an OSU alum, is Curtis E. Lemay.

 

[LSU_Ed]

Hmmm, I think at LSU it is required that you graduate

He attended for more than sufficient length of time to fall within the OSU Alumni Association definition of alumnus.

I hate to say this, but it almost sounds like the Texas A&M "Former Students Association" which I think is extremely funny. Of course Texas A&M is the butt of many jokes around here.
