[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]does unc have any famous alums except for MJ or ESPN people?

It isn't a serious school.

UMD is way better. just look at the success stories from umd[/quote]

um.  no.  but to answer your first question:

Thomas Wolfe
Clyde Edgerton
Charles Frazier
Walker Percy
Andy Griffith
Lewis Black
Jeff MacNelly
Frank Bruni
Carl Kassel
Robert Ruark
James K. Polk
David Sentelle
Mia Hamm

But those are just the names I expect that someone reasonably well read might know.  Plenty of other luminaries in arts and sciences (as well as NC politics and business).  I suppose it is possible that none of them are as famous as MJ, but who is?

UNC-CH has taken a beating during the current administration and with the academic scandal, but the institution is bigger than the current foibles, I should hope.

(I'm from NC and about half my family went to UNC-CH.  I did not, finding the size too overwhelming at the time.  But having interacted with lots of people who spend their whole lives in private school bubbles, i'm a big proponent of state school undergrads and consider it a significant plus when making hiring decisions.
