I don't know who any of those people are. Except for George Rysn and then only because I live in Illinois.

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.

Recognized Matta, that's all.

[Sir Lawrence]

Kurt Vonnegut went to Butler?  I don't think so.

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.

[Dr. Blackheart]

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.

[Sir Lawrence]

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.

I know who Jim Jones is, you'll forgive me if I don't recognize him out of context and in a photo wearing sunglasses.

Just having fun....but now that you mention the shades, JJ and Dean-o must have had the same eye problem as most images on Google include the shades.

I was ready to call bull on the Butler website, but I did find a second source.  One semester, then off to Cornell he went.
