The Captain Lou Albano. Did not know he went to UT.

From Wiki...

His skills were such that he received 32 offers of full scholarship from universities around the country, and he chose the University of Tennessee on the strength of their football team. Here, Albano was teammates with the likes of Darris McCord, Doug Atkins, and his roommate, Sam Rutigliano.

 

[OrangeVolMan]

I had to look him up. From what I read he was expelled from UT.

Lou Albano went to the University of Tennessee on a football scholarship and quit to join the Army in the 1950's.

I think listing Kevin Nash would have been more relevant to modern fans and still get the humor box checked.

Kurt Vonnegut (Slaughterhouse Five), Country Music Singer Deana Carter... Lou Albano is kind of an off the wall inclusion for our alumni.

That's a good one!

David Keith, he is about as famous as any of the previous.

 

[Smokeyman]

If you’re judging purely on talent and impact on the country, then Kurt V is the choice no question. Only the best writer of the 20th century and one of the best ever.

 

[ru4real-really?]

"I'm a victim of a strange set of circumstances"

and "We've got to be careful of who we pretend to be because thats who we are"

I'm an old fan of Kurt!
