I guess the real question should be: who is the most famous LSU athlete ever (besides Shaq) that is recognized as having gone to LSU?
Those who mentioned Lolo being known more on an international level due to Track & Field's recognition probably don't know she was a Tiger.
Those who aren't football fans, or are only casual football fans only know OBJ from his off the field persona - and probably don't know he went to LSU.
Fact of the matter is - we all follow sports so likely know where anyone on an MLB, NBA or NFL roster went to school - most people in America don't.
All of this being said, I think it comes down to who made the most noise while at LSU, and Pistol Pete wins that argument hands down.
