Spent Monday afternoon canoeing with family in SE Ohio before heading to Texas Roadhouse in Athens for dinner. We were seated at booth in back of restaurant, directly below a painting of Bobcat fans tailgating outside Peden.

I told family that one of the painting's subjects looks like Ed O'Neill, while others appeared to be Arsenio Hall and Matt Lauer. My wife thought the female is Sarah Jessica Parker, but I wasn't aware she attended Ohio University. Instead, I suggested it is Piper Perabo, someone I've heard of but not quite sure what she looks like. There are two other subjects in the painting but I wasn't able to get a definitive answer from any (young) employee who they might be. I'm relatively sure the likeness of Roger Ailes is not up on the Roadhouse wall.

Anyone BA posters aware of this painting and can shed some light on the subjects?

I don't believe SJ Parker is a Bobcat, but she is from Nelsonville.

Rumor has it Sarah Jessica Parker was born in Nelsonville Ohio. Ed ONeill enrolled and then transferred. Pretty sure McGyver (Richard Dean Adnerson) is on the wall too. Maybe Paul Newman is on there as well?


Who else should be on that wall?

My youngest asked me why I wasn't up there. My oldest replied that
I'm just a teacher and everyone up on the wall is a millionaire.

Beverly D'Angelo used to hang around Athens before she got famous. She was friends with whoever owned Blue Eagle Music around 1977 or so.

And she looked soooooooooo hot at the time. Smokin' - bigtime!

She is from Columbus, so not a stretch, but the time was probably around 75, as she had began her broadway career in 76
