After watching the SEC storied on Bo Jackson, Charles Barkley, and Frank Thomas, I told my SO that there had to be another school in that situation. She said there wasn't and challenged me to think of one. So I'm coming here for help to prove her wrong.

Name a school that had a baseball player, basketball player and football player enrolled at the same time that were as good as those three.

If UGa had an iconic baseball player in the early 80s, they'd qualify. Dominique and Herschel were in Athens at the same time.

LSU had Pistol Pete and Tommy Casanova on campus at the same time as well, I think.

Joe Adcock and YA Tittle played at the same time for LSU... unfortunately I think Bob Petit was a few years later for basketball.

Is your SO a woman? Because if so she is way too into sports for knowing that!

I know this argument is laughable, but Bo isn't in the hall either.

Charles Barkley and Frank Thomas weren't at Auburn at the same time.

Surprised nobody else pointed this out. Frank Thomas was 15 years old when Charles Barkley played his last game for Auburn.

Ok. If it doesn't have to be same year, but can be same time period (ie early 90s), is there a better big 3?

Fair point ... but you should be ashamed for making it.
