Peyton is 0 for Florida. He knows nothing but tears and heartache vs the Gators.

Bo was bigger as a collegiate player but now I would say Barkley is definitely more well known


Barkley could do what he's doing now for the rest of his life and never be as big as Bo was 1988-1995.

If we're going to differentiate between the Big Three sports, thats easy:

1. Football - Bo Jackson
2. Basketball - Charles Barkley
3. Baseball - Frank Thomas (with Tim Hudson close behind)

Either Herschel or 'Nique


if 'Nique is dominic wilkins he doesn't hold a candle to herschel. wilkings was a whining a-hole that liked to blame his teammates for losses. herschel, imo, is the best single running back ever and the man had and has class.

A two-time consensus All-America at Mississippi State and a two-time NBA champion with the Boston Celtics (1968, 1969), Bailey Howell was a versatile power forward who could score like a guard and rebound like a center. At 6-foot-7, the athletic Howell broke records for three years running at Mississippi State. Howell was named the school's Most Valuable Athlete in 1958-59 after guiding the Bulldogs to their first-ever Southeastern Conference (SEC) title that year. A three-time All-SEC selection, Howell averaged 27.1 ppg, leading Mississippi State to a three-year 61-14 record. Howell, who led the NCAA in field goal percentage (.568) in 1957 excelled for twelve NBA seasons, and upon his retirement in 1971, ranked in the top ten in nine statistical categories, including eighth all-time in points scored (17,770, 18.7 ppg), fourth in games played (950), and ninth in rebounding (9,383, 9.9 rpg).

Shaq maybe in the past 30 but it's hard to argue against Pistol Pete.

idk about that. I'd imagine people around the world know who Tyson Gay is. Jerry is definitely the most influential Hog though.
