That would be like A&M claiming Jennifer Garner because her father Jack was a Former Student.


what? No, it wouldn't be like that at all.

It would be like TAMU claiming Jennifer Garner if she was ever enrolled at TAMU.

What a weird post lol

non-athletes at State - companies are more famous than people.

Davis Wade - founder of AFLAC and promotor of Nick Saban and Deion
Marsha Blackburn - MAGA Senator from Tennessee
G.V. "Sonny" Montgomery - former Congressman of the Montgomery GI Bill fame
George Bryan - Bryan hot dogs and Sara Lee pies
Hartley Peavey - Peavey Electronics and worst Undercover Boss episode ever
Arthur Williams - insurance billionaire, used to own the Tampa Bay Lightning
Jerry Clower - funny guy
Machine Gun Kelly - notable criminal
and of course Sadaam Hussein's nuclear guy.

I know I'm a homer, but Stafford is built different. Any school he ended up attending would be proud to call him an alum.

His best friend from Highland Park went to UGA with him. Stafford stayed good friends with him and he was at the table on Draft night with him. Funny story is that his best friend's older brother went to Ole Miss and Ole Miss was a consideration of Matt's until they fired Cutcliffe.

The Hartley Peavey Under Cover Boss episode was just about the worst ever moment for a company and CEO.
Back in the 1960’s up until the 1990’s , Peavey Electronics was a great company in the music world. Great musicians/bands like Eddie Van Halen, Lynrd Skynrd and others used their equipment etc.

Hartley’s Dad, Mutt Peavey wrote the State Fight song in 1938 “Hail Dear Ole State”


Other notable State alumni include John Grisham, John Stennis, Bill Evans and Janet Marie Smith (Google her name and baseball stadiums and you will recognize her instantly).

There are really too many athletes to list for these large schools. UT had authors Kurt Vonnegut, Cormac McCarthy and James Agee. Varied grads include Dixie Carter, Scott Kelly and Kevin Nash..

Adding to AU's list a number of astronauts, including Ken Mattingly, who never came down with the measles during the Apollo 13 mission - Gary Sinise's character in the movie.

You're an idiot.

There are fifty gump football players who are more famous than her. Let's start with Joe Namath and go from there.

She gets less views than Seinfeld reruns. No one even knows her name. She's just that TV girl who everyone thinks is trans.
