04s
Some golfer (probably Andy North)

All good players. Patrick Peterson is a good one to consider. Theriot was not the most athletic. He wasn't even the best middle infielder to play at LSU. Aaron Hill or Larson perhaps. Probably Hill. You think Augustus is a top 10 athlete at that school? Over decorated Olympic sprinters? Come on. The others are hard to quibble with.

I'd have to assume Auburn has some female swimming legends.

Theriot won us the CWS and won a WS on the last run. I can agree that maybe in the field there are better choices, but guy is clutch. Augustus, meh, i could take her off but she lead the Lady Tigers to what, 3 final 4s in a row?? Now she is lighting up the WNBA(apparently cause God knows i dont watch that crap). I put Peterson on since he is just a freak of an athlete. He isn't decorated outside like most of the rest of that list.

1. Pete Maravich
2. Billy Cannon
3. Shaquille O'NEal
4. Tommy Casanova
5. Bob Pettit
6. Todd Walker
7. Y.A. Tittle
8. Aaron Hill
9. Semoine Augustus
10. Kevin Faulk

Probably some of our softball players too. Amanda Scarborough, Megan May, or whomever was leading us to titles in the 80's

I actually had Danielle Adams on my original list.

Sydney Colson, Amanda Scarborough, Megan Gibson, and Shawn Andaya (Pulliam) would definitely be on my top 15 list (along with tennis player Shon Madden).
