1. Burrow - undisputed GOAT cfb player, Qb, athlete.
2. Shaq/Pistol (tie) - Shaq's lifetime stardom bumps him up to tie with the Pistol's college accomplishments/stardom
3. Skip - Goat college baseball coach + as AD brought our entire athletic dept out of the stone age and instilled a new era of championship mentality.

Doug won’t be on Mt Rushmore. He will be under it, holding it up like The Boot or Magnolia trophy

No one ever mentions Bob Petit. He is up there with Shaq and Pete for basketball.

I would think a sports hall Mount Rushmore should have the best from the three major sports for men and perhaps one female athlete. Pro careers should be considered.

Mine would be:

Maravich (College career dwarfs everything else for anyone)

Burrow (Projection - I think he’ll be a great pro)

Skip (Skip is more important than any single player)

Seimone Augustus (great college career, extremely solid pro career)


In reality, I’m sure someone from women’s track and field deserves the honor if based purely on NCAA titles.

Joe Burrow cannot be with the other's mentioned (Shaq, Pistol Pete, Burrow, YA Tittle) because he has not proved himself in the pros......if that is part of the qualifications.

This is the answer.

We still sell Cannon merchandise in the gift shop, but he’s doesn’t get carved on the mountain.
