I tried to discuss Pistol Pete and people simply weren't having it.

No the OP was the only one. Apparently AI has more talent with the ball than Pistol Pete.

Lochte > Phelps. Medal count aside lochte is a better swimmer than Phelps. Who has the world record in both IMs? Lochte. I think he's a d-bag, poor rep for my sport, but sadly best to touch the water thus far

I think UNC by itself has a better list than the SEC:

Michael Jordan
Mia Hamm
Lawrence Taylor

Is he really the first baseball HOFer from the SEC?

Many of the great baseball players never went to college.

Good choice tbird... pretty sure I'm the only one here who swam in college and knows countless Olympic medalists and our last coach. There's an outside shot I may know what I'm talking about. I follow said sport in those short 3 years and 50 weeks between Olympics.

Ryan Lochte has the 2nd most olympic medals in swimming all-time, behind some guy named Michael Phelps.




So your saying Ryan Lochte isn't the goat?

We got nobody.

MAYBE P-Willie? One day? Who knows, though. There have been way too many great LBers for me to think he'll get that spot.

Come on y'all....this is a serious thread


Exactly. I heard an interview a few years ago, where they were talking about Pete. Someone asked, do you think Pete's college single season scoring record from 1970 (44.5 points per game) will ever be broken? The other guy said, "Sure it will. Now that you have the three point shot...all you have to do is average hitting 15 three pointers per game for an entire season." Then he broke out laughing.

Obvious answers for Bama

Greatest College Coach - Bear Bryant

Greatest TE (in the duscussion) - Ozzie Newsome

Greatest WR (in the Pro's in discussion, basically changed the game at WR in the NFL) - Don Hutson

Greatest LB who specialized as a pass rusher (obviously tied for this with LT) - Derrick Thomas

Most decorated player in the NBA - Robert "Big Shot Bob" Horry

On the AI vs Pistol Pete discussion, give me Pistol all freaking day long
