Twelve years before the Trailblazers helped Chicago by taking Sam Bowie in the first round of the NBA draft, the Blazers screwed up big time taking LaRue Martin out of Loyola-Chicago with their first round pick of the 1972 NBA draft. This allowed the Buffalo Braves to draft this Tar Heel. This guy would win a pair of NBA championships with the Lakers in 1982 and 85, and three more as a Heat assistant coach (after playing seven years in Italy). Identify this 1973 NBA Rookie of the Year who won three NBA scoring titles from 1974-76 (the Blazers also passed on Dr. J that year ... man have the Blazers screwed up drafts!!)

This guy earned his law degree at Loyola, and married a receptionist at the law firm he helped start, also adopting his wife's daughter, Lisa. This guy was a delegate to the 1970 Illinois Constitutional Convention. A long time friend of the Daley family, this guy gleefully started impeachment proceedings against his political foe, Rod Blagojevich. Identify this longest serving Speaker of any State House of Representatives in the country, whom proved too much for Bruce Rauner to handle when Rauner fatally admitted that this man, and not the governor, was in charge of Illinois (his opposite number, John Cullerton, President of the Illinois Senate, is also a Loyola alum).

In his retirement, this alum became a senior fellow at Loyola, though this was after his federal prison sentence for mail fraud. Prior to that, this guy was an 18-term Democratic congressman. Identify this member of the House, a personal friend to John Kennedy, who served as the powerful Chairman of the House Ways and Means Committee from 1981-1994.

Susan Ralston, who earned two degrees from Loyola, worked as the senior adviser to this guy from 2001 until she was forced to resign in 2006, after admitting that this guy routinely sent sensitive information using his RNC e-mail address. Unlike another of her former bosses, Jack Abramoff, this guy never went to jail for his crimes. Even as a teen, this guy's political dirty tricks drew the attention of the Watergate investigations, and despite full blown shenanigans to win leadership of the College Republicans in a disputed election, George H.W. Bush proclaimed him the winner. Name this all-around scumbag (and turd blossom, according to W. Bush) who was George W. Bush's senior adviser and then Deputy Chief of Staff, who should have gone to jail over the many scandals he was (allegedly) involved in from the firing of US attorneys to impeding Congressional investigations to the whole Valerie Plame thing.

This guy got his BA from Loyola, and was working on his law degree there until he was dismissed from an internship over murky circumstances. This guy won the Grammy for Best New Artist in 1961, but he is not a singer or musician. This man entered the entertainment industry as a copywriter for a production company in Chicago, and while his first self-titled TV series in 1961 lasted only a season, it earned a Peabody Award. He subsequently had two more self-titled series, each of which had longer runs, in 1972 and 1982. More recently, he has had guest appearances on The Big Bang Theory. Identify this comedian-actor, whose early comedy albums include several referring to his "Button-Down Mind".

One of this Loyola alumna's early inventions was an earring organizer which she sold to JC Penney. One show she is associated with is Clever & Unique Creations on QVC, but she is better known today for her work on a show that allowed her to invest in the Scrub Daddy. Identify this woman with some 120 patents to her name, one of the featured sharks since Season 4 on Shark Tank.

L. Scot Caldwell got her degree from Loyola after taking time off form Northwestern to start a family. While her career achievement may be winning a Tony Award for her role in August Wilson's Joe Turner's Come and Gone, she might be more widely known for her role as US Deputy Marshal Poole in a film that was nominated for a Best Picture Oscar. Name this film which had many scenes set and filmed in Chicago, a film that lost to Titanic for Best Picture, but which did see Tommy Lee Jones win an Oscar for Best Supporting Actor.

First and last name needed. This guy had the decency to oppose Donald Trump in the 2016 GOP primaries, but after Trump threatened to release secrets about this guy and his family, this guy's bones got really soft and he got behind the Trump campaign. A member of the TD Ameritrade Board of Directors, this guy is also currently the Republican National Committee Finance Chairman. It is because of him and his family that a percentage of every Cub ticket goes to support the Republican Party. Identify this son of Joe and Marlene, and brother of Laura, Tom, and Nebraska Governor Pete, one of the current co-owners of the Chicago Cub, who is also a 1994 Loyola alum.

Ian Brennan graduated from Loyola in 2000, but is best known for dramatizing his time at north-suburban Chicago Prospect High School. This TV series which Brennan helped produce would win a Peabody Award and a Golden Globe for Best Musical or Comedy Series. Both Gwyneth Paltrow and Neil Patrick Harris won Emmy Awards for their guest appearances on this series. Identify this series about the New Directions which ran from 2009-2015.

Like Ian Brennan, this woman attended Prospect High School before graduating from Loyola. She was seen giving birth to James Tiberias Kirk in 2009's Star Trek, and appeared in over 100 episodes of House as Dr. Allison Cameron. Name this actress who is likely better known for playing Emma Swan in the fairy tale inspired series Once Upon a Time

John York earned a doctorate in pathology from Loyola's medical school, but it was thanks to his marriage to Marie Denise DeBartolo, that he became co-owner (with his wife) of this organization when his brother-in-law, Ed DeBartolo, Jr. got mired in corruption scandals and lawsuits. While York and his father-in-law later sold off their interest in the Pittsburgh Penguins, what sports franchise is York currently a co-owner of, a franchise that has been in the news in the past few years because of a protest being led by one of their (now former) quarterbacks.

First or Last Name needed. Leslie David Baker earned a BS in Psychology from Loyola, but today is remembered for playing this television character. Identify this character, a Dunder Mifflin sales rep, who loves his wife, his daughter, Pam Grier, and a hot, chewy roll of buttered dough.
