Mark Prior actually went to USC.

Al Gore created the question mark.
I believe that young lady is close to 40.

Bettie Page did not graduate from Vanderbilt. She briefly attended Peabody Teacher's College. Many years later, Vandy arranged an "affiliation" with Peabody wherein their students could attend classes there. Coincidentally (I am sure), a significant number of those students were scholarship athletes who weren't up to the academic rigor of a Vanderbilt education. When Peabody ran into financial difficulty in the late 70's, Vanderbilt quickly merged with them.wow, nice post.
Ironically, for years Vandy has whined that they couldn't compete effectively with the rest of the SEC because of their high academic standards. But once Peabody (and its lower expectations) went away, Vandy's sports programs have improved markedly.
In a related note, Bettie Page attended the same high school as another famous Vandy alum whom I don't believe has been mentioned yet - Dinah Shore.

Vanderbilt always has been competitive in basketball. Dating back to the 1960s, they were an upper eschelon SEC team, which was tough to do in an era where Adolph the Bigot and his Kentucky Wildcats dominated the conference. Vanderbilt had an excellent team in the late 1960s through the mid-1970s and played us once in the NCAAs -- in 1974 when we marched our way to the NCAA Championship game.
Some of the school's stars included Jan van Bredakopf (spelling??), who was son of NBA Coach Butch van Bredakopf, the "F" Troop -- Joe Ford, Jeff Fosnes and Butch Feher -- Will Perdue, who played for the Chicago Bulls, Terry Compton and Tommy Hagen.
Vanderbilt also desegregated SEC Basketball when it offered Perry Wallace, who played high school ball for Nashville Pearl, a scholarship in 1967. Wallace was a good center and paved the way for a diverse and frankly much better SEC.

I remember the "F" Troop quite well. I went to high school a block away from Vanderbilt, and that was their heyday. We would play our important football games in its stadium.
Relative to football, their basketball team was decent. For years, Vandy and Northwestern were neck and neck for the title of suckiest major D1 football program.
High school a block away... Can't think of one high school that close. MBA, Harpeth Hall, Pearl Cohn? (Iirc that is the magnate school down by the frist.). Assuming HH based on your ID.
Father Ryan moved from 2300 Elliston Place about 15 years ago. They were one block north of West End Avenue in the shadows of Vanderbilt's athletic and residence hall complexes.
Ding ding ding! Class of '80, y'all!

Also:
1. Shouldn't we be doing Rockhurst first? Just asking.
2. You aren't supposed to start new "famous alumni" threads if we have started that thread in an earlier year.

BTW, this thread is how dgies and I discovered that we went to the same high school. Go, Father Ryan Irish!

By the way, does anyone know what happened to Ari Gold? I saw him when I looked up the old Vandy thread and he used to be a pretty prolific poster.
I happen to remember him because he was the first person ever to respond to a post of mine when I first joined Scoop.
Rockhurst alum: BA in Economics

When's the last time Marquette beat Vanderbilt? All I seem to remember are the tough losses. I hate the Commodes.

His son was in my class at high school. He was an incredible, honest and very decent man. I grew up on his newspaper and my first sniff of journalism came because of his work. Incidentally, he had the crap beaten out of him during the Freedom Riders efforts through Alabama. He was close to Bobby Kennedy and when he aided a woman being beaten by some southern rednecks, he was clubbed with a lead pipe.
Oh, he also was editorial director of USA Today from its launch through the 2000s.
Rest in peace John Seigenthaler.
