You been in a bubble? First is a Kool Aid drinker. Another is a real life "Hoosier". If you are from Chicago, you must recognize own of its news sportscasters, no? Did you ever take a literature class? Do you ever watch any college basketball besides Marquette? NASCAR I can see that miss...or the only perfect NFL team.

Now that you mention it, I do recognize Matta. Is that Corey McPherin? That counts as famous? Wowwwwwwwww. THE Corey McPherin?!?

Vonnegut was an oversight, but turns out he only briefly attended Butler anyways.

I do however find this notable: "Butler University is credited with inventing the Blue Book. Towards the end of the 1920s, Butler professors asked for a booklet of lined pages with a cover for exams, and because Butler's colors are blue and white, blue covers were added."

Now it is official, Butler is evil. I hated those books.

Yes Vonnegut is from Indy and fits the alum definition.

More hints:

One is the real life basis for the most famous basketball movie of all time.

One is a member of probably the most famous college basketball family of today.

The first one is infamously responsible for a quote or variation of, that is cited here at least once a week if not multiple times a day.

One was the leading scorer on the best NFL ever.

Dr., I'm sorry, but when did Vonnegut attend Butler? Even briefly? I'm a huge Vonnegut fan, and know that he's from Indianapolis, but was not aware that he attended Butler at all.

Author Kurt Vonnegut left Butler in 1942 after managing no better than a "C" average in his English courses.

Back at the height of the Cold War in the mid 80's we had an aircrew ready room at Misawa Air Base that was well stocked with porn - movies (VHS & Beta!) and mags. We had 100 F-16's based there and were the tip of the spear, a 10 minute ride from Vladivostok. We would have been the first to joust with Ivan if the balloon went up. We were on shifts standing the alert and had to be able to be airborne within 5 minutes. There would be 20 F 16 drivers sitting around in full flight gear swilling coffee, doing paper work, and writing letters to Mom while 10 TV's played porn. I often wondered if the last thing I did on this earth was to watch porn before getting shot down over Mother Russia. Video gave rise to the Golden Age of Porn when Hypathia Lee, Seka, Ginger Lynn held court. That stuff all went away because of the Tailhook Scandal and then they began putting women into the cockpit so the changes were irrevocable.

Thanks for all the porn star college educated pics over the years. its a great feature.

To be honest, however,.... I like my porn girls simply hot, buxom and scantily dressed....... and their educational attainment has never occurred to my mind, my member, or my right hand, while watching.

....if anything while watching her porn video.... if I started thinking/fantasizing about her lugging a backpack into my college classroom, in sweatpants, sans the awesome makeup job, and without the five inch heels....well ....it would be such a boner killer....I'd stop the movie....and switch back to ESPN, the MU game second half....or start trolling these posts......now that's living the fantasy, isn't it?
