Maybe Auburn - Bo Jackson (Baseball/Football) and Charles Barkley (Basketball)?

Auburn also had the "Big HURT", Frank Thomas the same time as those two. That's probably the best Big Three ever in my opinion. All three in the college HoF and two of the three in their pro sports. Bo would have made that too if not for the injuries. Maybe the only guy to ever make the Pro Bowl in the NFL and the Major League All-star team in the same damn year. That's effin' special, right there.

Looks like Thomas came right after Barkley and Jackson.

Charles Barkley - 1981-1984
Bo Jackson - 1982-1985
Frank Thomas - 1986-1989

Maybe so, but we are 2 deep everywhere and have plenty of players that can play.


No we don't. If Stevenson and Laird go we'll have a terrible defense and offense, unless we clean up recruiting (which we might).

Correct. From the ESPN documentary about the 3 I mistakenly thought they were all there for one year but not so.

Let's be honest. A Fournette NC and Heisman would erase the tears of Ben missing NCAAT and a 10+ ERA by Lange.

There is still hope.

Idk but I think Mett, OBJ, Landry, and Hill is probably the best (or close to it.. USC-w may disagree) offensive skill talent to ever lineup together. It's a shame fat chavis fielded a shite defense.

Hopefully LF shines, but technically that's a new school year athletically. Next school year will be Fournette, Lange and hopefully Antonio Blakeney. Three future 1st-rounders, possibly.
