I am having a competition with a co-worker that went to FSU about which school has the most famous alumns. So far I have used: the guy who helped develop plasma/LCD technology, Zack Galifklsdhcnieiaf from Out Cold and the Hangover, and John Edwards. Anyone know of any others? I really hate FSU and I work and live in Florida so I am trying to be an ass about it.

Truth, that guy is a fuck bag.

11/6/2009 9:52:07 AM

over the years i have learned that nc state fans should not want to play this game with just about any other school

change the topic

"nc state is ranked 11th out of 12 ACC schools in US News academic rankings, guess who's #12"

11/6/2009 9:52:44 AM

(counting down til somebody says "fake boobs suck" or "State girls are waaaay hotter" or "would not hit that")

11/6/2009 10:07:11 AM

looks like you're both right per wiki

"Morrison went to live with his paternal grandparents in Clearwater, Florida where he attended classes at St. Petersburg Junior College. In 1962, he transferred to Florida State University (FSU) in Tallahassee where he appeared in a school recruitment film.[7] While attending FSU Morrison was arrested for a prank, following a home football game.[8] In January 1964, Morrison moved to Los Angeles, California. He completed his undergraduate degree in UCLA's film schoo"

11/6/2009 10:16:36 AM

They have Hunter S Thompson, Richard Simmons and Casper Van Dien (of Starship Troopers fame)

We can't even begin to compete with that

11/6/2009 10:20:31 AM

I don't know if anyone would want to brag about having richard simmons as an alumnus. Maybe UNC would, but that's sort of their thing.

11/6/2009 10:36:59 AM

haha someone created a wiki page about Nick Autry. I used to play gigs with him. Does that mean I'm famous too?

11/6/2009 10:39:50 AM

brag or not, he's still famous as fuck, and thats the subject at hand

Even if you wanna talk sports, they have Neon Deion.

While they are good players, none of them are as big of a name as Primetime.
