A couple of weeks back, I did a piece at AACFootballFever.com going on about my favorite alumni at all the schools in the AAC.
I said Cincinnati’s greatest alumnus was the Big O, but I could just as well have picked One Fine Day star George Clooney, financial wizard Charles Keating, trumpeter Al Hirt, former Treasury Secretary Salmon P. Chase, comedian Nipsey Russell, Vice President and Nobel Prize winner Charles Dawes, anti-gambling killjoy Kennesaw Mountain Landis, Growing (Up) at 37 author Jerry Rubin, or the sturdily built former US President and Chief Justice William Howard Taft.
