Agree with a lot the list, great work. Here is my two cents (or buck-fifty)

QB: You nailed it.

RB: I loved Collins, but he played three and half games. It's just crazy to list him first, especially over Faulk. Collins was a jaw dropping player, but he had no real impact because he played in so few games. After Faulk, it's a tough group really, but the lack of Addai and yes, Hester, is a tough blow. I'd rank both ahead of Mealy and Collins.

WR: Clayton should be #2. We forget just how stunningly awesome he was.

TE: LeFleur's my #1, and I'd have Harold Bishop ahead of Savoie.

OL: I'd find a way to make Andolsek higher, but wow... we've had some great OL players.

K: Jasper is a huge omission. Completely unjustifiable to put Corbello and Lefleur ahead of him. And wow, Browndyke NOT being #1 is going against the grain big time.

KR: Looks good.

DT: I want a way to rank Gillyard, but I think you're right.

DE: What? not Alem? /stifles laughter

ILB: What a loaded group. Seriously, look at that list. Amazing.

CB: Seems about right. Maybe I'd move Tory James up a slot, but Webster was a total badass.

S: No space for Clarence LeBlanc? That guy was one of the most ferocious hitters ever. And Roman's career ended poorly, but he probably desreves a spot on that list.

P: No complaints. We've had some really good punters, too. Kessler was the man.

Coach: I don't really want to open up the can of worms, but I think Miles is clearly ahead of Arnsparnger, as a lot of the decline of LSU can be traced back to him, and even if you believe the same thing is happening under Miles... he at least has a MNC to show for it.

"DT: I want a way to rank Gillyard, but I think you're right."

Gillyard was the DE opposite Northern rather than a DT, correct? Anyway, I wanted to say that Gillyard should be on the list but there were too many hosses ahead of him.

On the OL, don't forget about Whitworth, Black, and Ralph Norwood. Not sure who I would bump down but I suggest that Nacho could have been a bit overrated. I would definitely put Andolsek at #3.

RB's: I just don't see how one can favor Cecil (very little actual production to go with all that talent) over the SEC's 2nd all time leading rusher and #1 all time total yards man in K Faulk.

Having him over Colt David, the all-time scorer, is aginst the grain.

Gillyard was an end and ended up teaching SPED in Hammond. He's not in my top 10.

Nope. None.
