These are a few that I can remember having in class at least. There were some other FB players softball girls that I can remember the names too but I think you'll recognize a few of these names. One year my floor which had a lot of the track guys on it was the brother floor to the women's basketball team so I got to hang out with Desiree Francis, Gintare Cipinyte, and Ashley Homeyer once in awhile but most of the women on the team that year didn't really come out much and do things with us other than those 3. A lot of the women were business majors like I was so some of them I had in multiple classes out of coincidence.

Cael Sanderson
Darren Davis (he always came in late then took a nap. was a tough class for even those who showed up so I don't know how he passed it!)
Tracy Gahan
Mary Fox (she still owes me a pencil from one she "borrowed" before a pop quiz one time!)
Angie Welle (first time I saw her I was like "dang, hope she is on the basketball team." well she was a freshman same year I was and first game I went to guess who was the starting center!)
Ennis Haywood
Martin Rancik
Erica Junod

One semester I had Will Blaylock, Curtis Stinson, Tasheed Carr, and Rahshon Clark in my Macro Econ lecture and also another class that I can't recall at the moment.

Not an athlete per se, but I sat next to Summer Ackerman for a semester. She was in the first "Girls of the Big 12" issue for Playboy, circa 1996.

I knew her. My buddy dated her for quite a while. She wasn't the brightest gal, but easy on the eyes.

Yea, both the brothers were in the big lecture, and then Travis was in my small recitation section.

I had both of them in either a Poly Sci. class or a psych. class.

Stevie Hicks in English 102 when he was a freshmen and thought he might produce big things someday.

Kurt Backes in a Finance class last year.

Adam Carper in accounting class last year.

All the athletes that come with the "rocks for jocks" class mentioned. Along with the list of them in Psych 101 or any big lecture freshman/soph. class.

It is always nice to see the athletes who came to class and actually looked like they cared to be there. Not the ones who show up late and take no notes. It amazes me how many of them come to class with no notebook, no pen/pencil then wonder why tests are hard.

I didn't really "attend" most of my intro level classes, with the exception of test days. (There were more important things to do: play cards, sleep, girls, intramurals)On test days I did see Cato in Psych 280 and Troy Davis in History. Funniest had to be Doxzon in Stat 227 recitation...guy was not a light bulb.

Bob Utter in rocks for jocks at least the first and last class of the semester. Had a few marketing classes with the Mayor including an 8am class that we would be at the day after a road game. Guy was taking 21 credits his last semester to graduate on time. I remember the Marketing teacher telling Fred how much a person with a marketing degree could make, then someone told him Fred would be playing in the NBA. Teacher felt like an idiot.

A.B. wore those shades all first semester in my Geology class. My teacher always asked him for stories during 'Break Time.' He always said some funny stuff.

Also had Kurtis Taylor in my Pol Sci 251 class last semester.

Marsden and Brock Jacobsen were in my Stat 326 class too.

I thought the title said "Athletes"? :wink:

I had Hoiberg and his wife in a History class my freshman year. But I also went to high school with him so it wasn't a big deal at the time.

Shawn Bankhead and Kenny Pratt were in an HDFS class of mine. They showed up. That was about it. They sat in the back and talked. This wasn't a very big class either.

Troy Davis was in a Theories of Education class. Well, he was there twice and then dropped it. He was also in my Rocks for Jocks class.

Jaycee Holloway was in another class. I can't remember which one. I just remember seeing him and thinking that he wasn't a very big guy.

Mark Currie is in my grad. student office. How he is an athlete and getting his master's in structural engineering, I'll never know.

I had Poli Sci 311 with Walter Nickel. Didn't say anything to him until halfway through the semester when I was talking to a friend about NCAA 2007 and Walter busted into our conversation. He didn't show up too often for class.

I had a few gymnastic girls in my Relig. 205 class, that was nice.

I talked to Adam Carper at the UDCC his first year at ISU. I asked him if Tony Yelk was ever going to play again and he said probably not because Yelk was a p****

I played baseball in a men's league for a few years after graduation and played against Holloway a few times. His size was more typical of a baseball player. I think he played shortstop and outfield.

What is your major? Sounds like you have this figured out.
