Talking about performance or pure athleticism? Hearst has to be on the list. He was a freak

gotta have Georgia Gymdog Karin Lichey on there...

On 2-23-96 Georgia Gymdog Karin Lichey became the first and only gymnast to ever record a perfect all-around score of 40.

The individual all-around score that Karin Lichey received can never be broken. It can only be tied.

And legend has it he drove his motorcycle up & over Stegman Coliseum...

Q: Jake, I have to ask you the most important question of all. Did you really ride a motorcycle across the top of Stegeman Coliseum?

A: “Well, you’ve got to call Brad Johnson [UGA running back, 1966-68] because he was the witness. That is an important question. It was an exciting ride. I had an old BSA. I went over the top. Going down the other side was tough. That’s when I got afraid.”

That was back when our good ole boys would drink and fight and cuss and spit and nobody GAS. Nowadays guys like jake scott would get kicked off the team before their sophomore year.
