Bradie is a questionable selection. I love the guy and he was a great Tiger, but I feel like those accomplishments are pretty standard for the Hall of Really Good.

Faulk is a shoe-in and cannot believe he's not in yet.

This... in fact I would characterize my reaction as shocked he is not already in...

I think him not winning any major individual awards and only being on one AA list as an all-purpose player is what's held him back this long. Had he been on better teams, he would have been in a long time ago

LSU is about to start stacking guys annually in the hall of fame after our run the last 20 years. Those elite guys we had are going to start hitting their time for the HOF.

James should have won the Butkus Award his senior year with 154 tackles.

I don’t think that’s the hall of fame accomplishment that will get him in

With that said he should have been a shoe in as a first ballot HOF.

Faulk should be in without question. James ……..loved the guy as a player but cant see hall of fame.

Side note about Faulk- best running back in LSU history probably………which reminds us once again of Cecil Collins coming in with even more talent and throwing it all away.

I always thought Josh Reed would get consideration before Bradie James.
