Rice alum (current U Tenn prof) in commercial with Peyton Manning
This is awesome:
Professor George Pharr NAE (Wiess '75, later Master of Wiess, and father of Wiessman Matt Pharr '08) and Peyton Manning are the two stars of the University of Tennessee's promo spot that will air during football games this year:

George is quite a stud in materials science:
Quote:Professor Pharr was recently named Macebearer, the university’s highest faculty honor. He is director of the UT–ORNL Joint Institute for Advanced Materials, a Chancellor’s Professor, the McKamey Professor of Engineering, and a joint faculty scientist in the Materials Science and Technology Division at ORNL. His research focuses on nanoscale materials, and his work has the potential to affect everything from medicine to machines. Last year, Pharr was elected to the National Academy of Engineering, the highest honor an engineer can achieve in the United States.

That's cool. George, err Prof. Pharr, was my O-week advisor.
