Technically that's just 3 but might make LSU 2nd behind Auburn

Haven't seen any other schools offer up their best to challenge our claim to #1

So many people getting butthurt over observations that aren't insults. He's one of the greatest basketball players of all time, as is Barkley. But neither of them were supernal athletic specimens in the sense that most people think of the concept. In excellent shape? Absolutely. Great athletes in the same sense as Bo? Not really.

The battlecry of each of these great Auburn men other than #GOAT Cam Newton.



I think the battlecry of Cam, Barkley, Frank Thomas and Josh Donaldson is league "MVP". Nobody in the SEC can match that. Hell throw in BOs All-Star MVP and you have one hell of a trivia question.

I believe LSU is the only SEC team to have MVPs in football, basketball and baseball:

1958 Heisman, Billy Canon

1970 Naismith Award, Pete Maravich
1991 Naismith Award, Shaquille O'Neal

1989 Golden Spikes Award, Ben McDonald
