USC Ebonics, evidently.<BR/><BR/>Citing five examples to promote some kind of Troy superiority aesthetic, and three of them are shite Hollyweird players? That's just pathetic. Tragi-comedy, really.<BR/><BR/>Now, I'd like to see someone strolling around the USC campus with a video camera and microphone asking people to name USC's most famous student. Somehow I don't think "John Wayne" would make it into the top five. It would be funny if it did (and quite telling) but suprising nevertheless. I'm pretty sure The Juice would be numero uno.<BR/><BR/>Wait...now I rest my case.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-34137080.post-87097960162612432062008-09-22T23:35:00.000-07:002008-09-22T23:35:00.000-07:00Three of those are Hollywood celebs who contribute...Three of those are Hollywood celebs who contribute nothing to society. Tim Leatherman has given more to society than Will Ferrell has.<BR/><BR/>Orfalea founded Kinko's, which was recently bought out for $2.4 billion, Oregon State has the founder of NVIDIA, which produced $4.1 billion in revenue last year.<BR/><BR/>Neil Armstrong was the first man to set foot on the moon, but that achievement isn't really any more impressive than say, Buzz Aldrin's moonwalk. It just came a few seconds beforehand. But USMA doesn't try to lord Aldrin over anyone. although that's mainly because USMA has a more impressive distinguished alumni list than any other university.<BR/><BR/>USC certainly has a superior arts program, but when it comes to research and hard sciences, OSU, as one of two Land, Sea, Space, and Sun grant universities is hard to top. For a Tech company, as you used for your example, an OSU grad would be quite competative. <BR/><BR/>By the way, Linus Pauling is the only man in history to win two unshared Nobel Prizes.

Come on now. I know its a biased blog and all, but we ought to still be realistic here, right? Oregon state grads will be hastily picking up my laundry and making my dinner reservations at Morton's Steakhouse for my clients and I, come 10 years from now.
