Auburn should just discontinue their athletic department. Having all of those GOAT athletes come through their pipeline and they've hardly ever won shite.

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.

Surely I must be misinterpreting your point, because there's no way you meant to say Shaq wasn't a freak athletic specimen.

Alabama's greats have been mentioned and Tennessee has two which are tough to beat in Peyton Manning and Reggie White which are off the top of my head.

Per PFF, LSU did boast the best cornerback in the league, but it's not Patrick Peterson...it's Tyrann Mathieu. And he was phenomenal in 2015.

PFF aint the gospel on all things football.

Tyrann had probably his best year so far and he's a star player for sure. But is he really the best CB in the whole league? How much time does he spend covering the #1 WR? He's a good pass rusher and good all around tackler but I dont think he's lock down in coverage.

I was thinking similar things about Bama. They should just let their players play three years and have them learn a trade. Most of them after three years (four in some cases) are never worth a shite.

Ahh, but they excel at a high level while at Bama and win championships. As a Bama fan, that makes me erect.

Sorry that your football team sucks and that you're using an angle that L5U folks have perfected as their own.

Auburn has gotten a lot better at traditional Bama sports Gymnastics and Softball

though I know about as much about Gymnastics as I do Swimming and Diving - the Swimming part is easy fastest person.... the Diving part.... not so much

How about those mulligans in 11 and 12. Speaking of golf, how about Major Champion Jason Dufner.
