    actually he's a nice guy. always acknowledged me because i was on the radio station there and was involved in the radio productions. i have no idea if he knew my name but always acknowledged me, of course due to injuries and suspensions i've only seen him once at MSG in the four seasons I've been covering the NBA.

    I mentioned John Legend earlier though he was still John Stephens at Penn. His roommate was Devo Springsteen and apparently they've won a few grammys.

    I also went to college with Donald Trump, Jr. and Ivanka Trump. Donald was a total loser who would always start fights and have his lacrosse and fraternity brothers fight his battles for him after he started something.

    Mark DeRosa of the Cubs was the starting QB when I was there.

    Becki Newton of Ugly Betty was also there. I've never watched the show but I met her in my bartending days.

    And Jessica Prunell who played young Kyra Sedgwick in Born on the Fourth of July and was also in the Babysitter's Club went to school with me as well. Jessica left Hollywood after Penn and is now a lawyer in NYC. She was a really cool girl and never let on that she was an actress. We even went on a couple of dates freshman year. No one really knew who she was until the school paper did an article about how she turned down a sitcom deal to come to Penn and how Oliver Stone was coming as a guest speaker on campus and wanted her to introduce him. And once that story broke everyone on campus started treating her different, but she was still the same down to earth person.

    I'm sure there were other people there as well, but this is all I can remember right now.

    Lots of famous sciencey types (Ernest Rutherford, John Dalton etc.)

    I went to school with a girl that now does sex chat lines if that counts? I meant to say she was a model before that. Clearly I thought she was great. :)
