I'm not sure.  We have a generation of kids that only watch YouTube, and are completely oblivious to daytime TV personalities.

This list is obviously an informal troll job, but I’ll chime in: I personally don’t think Phil is obvious anymore than Meatloaf, Fry, Roy Orbison or Norah Jones.  If you asked me for a UNT name that would be universally recognizable to the under-30 crowd, I’m not sure I’d have an answer.

You're probably right. And for the record, I'm under 30 (barely) and know all those folks. The YouTube, no daytime TV crowd is even younger. People mentioned Stone Cold and I think that's also a good one. The reason I say Dr Phil or even Steve Austin are that they're still relevant in pop culture today but that's not really the question either. Troll job but fun to sift through IMO.

UTEP won something for once

Yeah, the only school with a porn star as their most notable student.  On the other hand she claims to have made $50M at her profession so maybe she'll donate a million or so to UTEP.

BTW, jonnyeagle misspoke.  They do not have to be graduates; just have attended the university.  Mia, however, did graduate from UTEP.

does UTEP have a porn studies degree program?

This changes things.

Don Henley and Norah Jones trump Dr. Phil.

Phyllis George? Roy Orbison?

I guess it depends on generations and if they have to immediately be recognized by name. I feel Dr Phil is probably the best choice since every generation knows who he is at this point. Ask teenagers/young adults if they know who Meatloaf is and they'll probably tell you they're not hungry until you play a song and they realize they've heard his music. Dr Phil is known by name almost like Oprah at this point.

I'd be interested to know the demographic breakdown by age of this board, then take a poll of the most "recognizeable" attendee of NT.

I almost added that there were others that might be considered better than the two I listed.
