As a grad student I could name the top 5 professors in each of the top 10 colleges representing my discipline, and what their research interests were and possibly the names of a few of their graduate students.

Wow. As a grad student, I was working on such obscure stuff that I could name every anthropologist that had ever visited the villages I was working in, and where they had slept. I didn't always know who they had slept with, but could identify about half of them.
