<p>"all of my stats courtesey of the wikiwikiwikiwiki"</p>
<p>Right and very dubious. Those lists are useless. Who knows how it was gathered, which areas were focused on, how particular people were selected, etc., etc., etc. Those lists aren't intended to be used in this kind of a discussion.</p>
<p>if wikipedia is not meant to be used on an internet forum, then what is it meant for?</p>
<p>possibly flexi, you could check on csu fullertons website for alumni</p>
<p>Ok southpasadena, I called Vita McCoy at CSUF's alumni relations office, she is an administrative assistant...when I asked her where could I find a list of notable CSUF alumni, she put me on hold for a moment, and said the only comprehensive list she knows of was located on.......GUESS WHAT!?!? WIKIPEDIA. Although I disagree that it is "comprehensive" they do not have anyhting else as of yet available on the internet, in print they do have a sports recruiting pamphlet, but again that would be inapropos for this discussion.</p>

<p>It's ANY LIST, not just the wikipedia one.</p>
<p>i think we can all agree that if your a bright motivated person then you will suceed no matter where you go. I just believe that success will come easier if you go to a better university because you will receive better opportunities and be amongst other motivated students.</p>
