A veritable "who's who" of the red carpet

Wow. Will Ferrell and John Wayne in the same sentence. John Wayne must be rolling in his grave.

Jack Pardee

Henry Cisneros
Red Duke
Lyle Lovett
Rick Perry

Jeff Maggert

Robert Gamez
Bubba Strait

Rip Torn - giving ugly guys a chance in Hollywood since 1956

Joe Dickson

Allsome.

How dare him be mature enough to support one of the largest (if not the largest) universities, in the state of which he's governer. [/sarcasm]

Just because he's supporting something good that comes out of the state, doesn't mean he loves the Ags any less. Goodness gracious.

FWIW-I hope the Trojans BTHOtu, but come on people.

Kim Tomes, Miss USA 1977
Marine MGen Bruno Hochmuth, highest ranking US VietNam war casulty

If we are talking celebrities, the "sips" also have Renee Zellweger, Marcia Harden, Owen Olsen, and I believe the writer creator of the Simpsons and King of the Hill. There are also some documentary film greats who are "sips"

In the business and the legal community, there are just too many big whigs too count. I guess it depends on at what point does one become "famous"

Owen Olsen

Who in the heck is Owen Olsen?

L. Lowry Mays, President, CEO of Clear Channel Communications

Wow, I didn't know that...

and I believe the writer creator of the Simpsons and King of the Hill

Not the same guy. Matt Groening created the Simpsons. Mike Judge created King of the Hill.

Judge went to Cal. Groening went to some weirdo college, Evergreen State.

Mark Moseley, formerly of the Washington Redskins played at SFA.

Bucky.


In a few years, Jorvorskie.

Owen Wilson, not Owen Olsen
