    we need some definition on "has ever produced."

    Did Houston produce Biggio? Did Houston produce Olajuwon? What qualifies one for this "award?" :)

    Let's not derail the thread. I have opined on the topic already. Use the search function. K?Thx!

    Back to the topic at hand, I'd have to give consideration to Mary Lou Retton, Alberto Gonzales (Rice) and ZZ Top, in addition to the other names already listed.

    yeah, your post wasn't an attempt to derail the thread. I guess you were just saving residents of San Marcos some energy.
