re: Who is the Most Famous LSU Athlete Ever?

unfortunately this is a generational opinion, as most will answer by what they've seen, heard or are aware of within the past decade or two. Ask those of us who are much older and you could include players such as:

Y. A. Tittle
Alvin Dark
Billy Cannon
Bob Petit
etc.... As they were quite famous many years ago when there wasn't the instant media and overall coverage of recent athletes.

Obviously more recent players will have a greater impact on popularity and notoriety.
