Kinda funny that freshmen weren't even allowed on the varsity team, and now 1 and done is so common.

You can make an Legit argument to maybe equal Auburn, but no SEC team can top them.... Yet. Would be interesting to know which SEC team has the most national big 3 championships based on individual player rings. Just off the top of my head I know Faulk has several NFL, Theriot has two baseball, Shaq has several basketball. I think the Rant did this with Olympics and Florida won going away.

Good point. All three sports are completely different now. Could you imagine if Anthony Davis had to play for 3 years? Interesting to think how these changes have impacted the overall careers of athletes

mean, he wasn't though, when you look at the numbers in terms of yard per carries. Bo was more productive. Faulk got more touches because he never got injured.

And yes, Faulk's greatness lies in his durability, intelligence, and versatility.


Yds/carry is a factor but it's only one factor. In almost every stat at the college or NFL level, Faulk's are better than Bo's. He accomplished more on the field than did Bo. Everything else is just speculation.

FTR, Russell Shepard avg 6.9 yds/carry.

Shouldn't there be an * next to Clemens and Durant's hasn't even reached the peak of his career so let's hold off there Longhorn

Y'all are forgetting that dual-sport (BB & Baseball) juggernaut that was Alabama's mega douche, Sam Haginas.

No he's not. Faulk was more productive (and durable) at every level and a more complete player. Bo was a great athlete (if not the greatest ever) but was one dimensional


How can u call Bo one dimensional and a great athlete?? Being multi-dimensional is what makes u a great athlete. And Faulk is more complete? I guess running a sub 4.2 40 and putting Brian Bosworth on his arse isn't enough to be more complete than ole K. Faulk.

That's only because Pistol couldn't play as a freshman.

100 bucks says you had no idea who Brian Bosworth was until watching the 30 for 30 episode.

Not comparing Cannon to Bo per say.

He asked for your top player in football, basketball and baseball.

I think LSU top three are comparable to auburn and the LSU players listed for basketball and baseball had better college careers than what he listed for his tigers.

We can top Barkley twice. We can compete with Frank. I don't think we have an answer for Bo.

You don't have anyone in the NFL who had better than a mediocre career?
