Arkansas should at least include Basil Shabazz as an honorable mention. He was a freak even if he didn’t reach his full potential.

Just to add to your honorable mentions list you have Julio, Phillip rivers, demarcus ware, Bart star, joe Namath, Ben Wallace I’m sure I’m missing some here.

I know John Daly probably should be removed and replaced by the bottom 3 options, but grip it and rip it.
Seriously? Great ones, but as a pure athlete, Matt Jones has to be on the list...

no Roger Clemens?

I actually had him on the list and removed him because he was actually born in Ohio. Almost made the same mistake with Biles and Hamm. They all got to Texas as soon as they could.

I forgot about Babe Didrikson Zaharias.
And I grew up around Beaumont. I should be flogged....no....it has to be a punishment.
Carl Lewis was born in Birmingham, AL.

Obviously from the SEC footprint Texas will win this debate just because of population, but damn, Alabama has a strong list for such a small state.

Even though the dipshits from Texas don’t know what a “list of 5” means
