Football- Bubby Brister
Basketball-Calvin Natt
Baseball- Terry Matthews
Track- Joe Profit
WB-E.J.Lee
Ski team - Anyone from last 25 consecutive years National Championship
Fishing team-Anyone from last years National Champonship team.
Oh wait

I'm not reading the whole thread, but if Ruffin G. Pleasant hasn't been named yet, then you should all be ashamed of yourselves.

How about the person that made it all possible. Joe "fan". You know the guy since birth gave up everything for LSU sports. Lived 24 7 LSU sports. Sad for days after a loss and on cloud 9 for 1 day after a victory. And gave $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ for tickets and parking passes.

Metry - I like your inclusion of a lot of the old guys. I agree it's too soon for Miles. Dalton Hilliard is one of my favorite players of all time. I also like the effort you spent into picking non "big three" athletes.

However, did Kevin Faulk steal your girl or something?

Oh....My....Gawd.
How in the Ole War Skule did I ever forget Kevin Faulk ????

Pistol Pete and Cannon, no one else is quite worthy yet, even though I am a huge Bert Jones fan.

Pettit was an NBA All-Star in each of his 11 seasons, was named to the All-NBA First Team ten times. In 1970, he was inducted into the Naismith Memorial Basketball Hall of Fame. Pettit was named to the NBA's 35th Anniversary Team in 1980, and was named one of the 50 Greatest Players in NBA History in 1996.

I agree he's overlooked and it's hard to put a 3rd basketball player up there - so if he's not first, who gets bumped? Shaq or Pistol? And if he's first, why isn't there more of a consensus? Too far back? Maybe, but there are lots of votes for Cannon on here.

Pettit - also pretty sure he was the very first recipient of the NBA MVP award.
