<p>This was brought up in another thread, but I wanted to post it here. I was surprised by how many impressive alumni have graduated from Florida State. It seems like the FSU administration never boasts this point. </p>

<p>Thanks, SSobick. Very informative link.</p>
<p>Haha, I didn’t know that Richard Simmons went to FSU.</p>
<p>Looking at that faculty and alumni list I’m amazed at just how underrated FSU is as an academic institution. It’s so sad what TK did to that school.</p>
<p>Hunter S. Thompson… Cheryl Hines… Richard Simmons… Norm Thagard… former governor of MD… Faye Dunaway… Awesome!</p>
<p>I checked out UF’s notable alumni wiki and a lot of these people were repeated on that page… hmm.</p>
<p>Faye Dunaway actually graduated from Boston University. But she also attended FSU & UF.</p>
<p>Norman Thagard got his MBA from the Warrington College of Business at UF.</p>
<p>He’s also on FSU page. Kinda some overlapping there.
He teaches @ FSU though?</p>
<p>Thagard is a member of the FSU engineering faculty.</p>
<p>Norm Thagard graduated from my High School… Lol. We pretty much re-named a road after that person!</p>
