The late Charlie Daniels was a huge Tennessee fan. He is probably just as famous as anybody mentioned.

Kevin Nash actor and former WCW and WWE star played basketball for Tennessee, and is a big fan.

Colonel Allen West, former congressman, is a Tennessee grad and huge fan.

Author, Kurt Vonnegut, was a Tennessee guy.

LSU has Mayor Humdinger from Paw Patrol. Mayor of Foggy Bottom and obviously corrupt. Loves to wear purple suits. NIL wouldn’t be a problem if that guy was real.

More like infamous, but for Arkansas it's gotta be Bill (poon hound) Clinton.

Ole Miss has Sean and Leanne "Run The Damn Ball" Tuohy. And their son Michael Oher.

Bama of course has Greg Sankey as their biggest fan

OU has Jim Ross by gawd. He would come out to Boomer Sooner while in WWE.

Other big celebrity Georgia fans that I've met and spoken to personally in the past and have passed on include actor Lyle Waggoner of "The Carol Burnett Show" and actor Pat Harrington of "One Day At A Time" TV sitcom.....these two actors actually attended UGA football games back in the 1970s and '80s.

Deborah Norville, Georgia-native, UGA graduate


Parvati Shallow, winner of TV Reality show, "Survivor"


Wayne Knight, star on "Seinfeld" ("Newman" character), graduate of UGA

Good list. From the country music world, add Whispering Bill Anderson. Trisha and Garth have a sky suite or at least they did as of a year or two ago. At least Garth wears black Okie State gear when they attend together.

I guess Reba took a year off from being a Sooner fan?

Melissa Joan Hart aka Clarissa explains it all, Ringo Starr has been spotted wearing bama hear via a friend he has from Troy, Jason Isbell, Courtney Cox, and Jimmy Wales (Wikipedia) are probably the biggest. Not certain off hand but I’m pretty sure Gucci Mane is a bama fan.

There were quite a few more, but I gave up! :)

My other alma mater, USC, takes the cake and beats ALL other schools in the country when it comes to grads & fans who've become movie stars, singers, and such. There's actually a small encyclopedia of notable people who've graduated/attended USC.

Condoleezza Rice and Sela Ward are big Bama fans

I always laugh when Tennessee fans claim Kurt Vonnegut....

Leo has probably worn a hat for every school at one point or another.
