This is so dumb. No actor or actress, unless they're one of the greatest of all time, should be on any list like this. She's a D list actress who's never done anything of real value.

The thread is about Alums, they don't have to be fans just alums.

No, but I am a UK alumnae.
This thread is about alumni of the University, not about the state itself, so I'll stay right here.
ETA: There's no "s" in my screen name.
Also, there should be an "a" in between "even" and "real".

Yet he lives in Oxford and donates tons of money to the Ole Miss Law School. Also, most, if not all, of his books are about Law and everyone knows that has nothing to do with MSU.

My first thought - "Haha the Jerry Springer of sports went to UT!"
Then I wondered, "Where did Jerry Springer go to school?"
Looked it up and it's Tulane.
It all makes sense.
