True
Flores is ridiculous but left him off & other O&G guys (Cook's, Taylor's, Bernhards, etc) because I figured the common folk had unlikely heard of them or their companies. But also, for example, Anadarko VP & the CEO/founder of Houston Energy are LSU grads too.

Just so we're clear, I grew up in an OM-heavy family, so it's all in loving jest.

How about Darla Moore (Rainwater), Gary M. Parsons (XM Radio), Buck Mikel (Fluor Daniel), David Holl (Mary Kay) ...
I mean honestly, our Distinguished Service Award Winners are like the who's who of American Business.
But then, we do have the #1 International Business School and probably the finest Business School in the South.
