Can't disagree. I'd maybe replace Mullins or Eli with Bianco.

Bo

Pat Sullivan

Barkley

Tracy Rocker (he is always overlooked. There are more Heisman winners than Lombardi/Outland. He was also 1988 SEC POY as a DT)

Still some of the craziest stuff in the history of the conference. I tip my hat to him for being an Auburn man through and through and an SEC legend. Housel probably bleeds blue and has orange hide if you cut him open.

But I ain’t apologizing.

Connor Shaw?

If that is on your Mt Rushmore then your crappy school needs to drop down to G5

But that'll likely create less interest among Recruits and you guys will still end up losing to USF, UCF, Memphis, FAU, FIU and other G5 schools, it seems like losing in big time Sports is just hard coded into the gamecock's DNA

Just face it south carolina is a long term loser at big time college sports

I like the way you broke it down by category.

Also like what Genghis posted about people who helped your athletic programs over several years vs athletes that were just there 3-4 years.

At UT if you just did athletes it would be hard for me to leave out Bernard King or Doug Atkins.
