I have seen threads about WR's, LB's, DL's, etc. on here recently. But I wanna know y'alls favorite athlete of all time. Be it football, baseball, track, tennis, basketball, boxing (yes we used to box), swimming, full contact chess, illegal blood-badminton.

1. Gabe Northern
2. Bradie James
3. Wally Pontiff (not just cause he died - he was effing great, and was only getting started)
4. Brad Cresse
5. Chad Lavalais
6. Trindon Holliday
7. Tyrus Thomas
8. Abram Booty
9. Matt Mauck
10. Chuck Wiley


I know my list sucks. I coulda put folks like Kevin Faulk, Brandon Larson, TM7, PP7, Cecil the Diesel, Josh Reed, Glen Dorsey, etc. But I like those cats for one reason or another. I feel like SOME of them don't get much love. I am sure after I see 3 posts I will want to change my list too. Cause I know there are some I am not thinking about. Trev Faulk, Ray Wright, Booger. Anyway, I am not asking for your opinion on the BEST, just who you liked for one reason or the other. TL;DR. Ban me

Chris Jackson was my favorite Tiger to watch. His freshman year was amazing. I remember rewinding the recording and watching some of his moves over again and again.

Sorry Birdman, I fail once again. I meant LSU athletes. But ya know, feel free to share others as well. I only like LSU athletes myself. Can't think of a single athlete in my top 100 who did not play at LSU. Though 101 might be Terry Bradshaw for me.
