When did University of Houston join the SEC? And second, the answer you are looking for is the Pistol

I still qualified the statement by saying she's the GOAT American soccer player

Well Auburn CFB sucks and they don't have an NFL or MLB team. Like their fathers and grandfathers before them, their minds drift towards goats.

My B, thought he went to Georgia. Then Shaq is the only one close to Barkley. I'm factoring in overall basketball careers and Pistol Pete turned into a bum and a junkie. I made a pledge to DARE and I'm a man of my word so I can't in good faith support a junkie as any type of GOAT

I believe Bill Russell is from Louisiana, making him better than any player you mentioned in basketball.

Also don't forget Karl Malone.

I never claimed Barkley was tGOAT basketball player, just the GOAT from the SEC. Malone and Russell didn't play in the SEC.

Malone may have had a slightly better career than Barkely, but in their primes Barkley is easily better.

Barkley led the GOAT basketball team ever assembled, 92 Dream Team, in scoring... Sounds like the GOAT to me

Bad thread. Obviously trolling some.

Herschel is a better overall athlete than Bo IMO, but you are an Auburn fan so you are biased.

It doesn't mean that anymore. If someone is good at something, they're the GOAT. Thanks MSB.

Bo is the only athlete to be an all-star at the highest level of two of the major sports

Bo was a more effective RB in college and professionally (YPC)

Herschel might hold a slight edge on the track, and have compete in shitty niche sports like bobsledding and mid-level MMA but that doesn't make him a better athlete.

Bo is widely and universally regarded as the GOAT athlete. Herschel isn't. There's a reason the Bo vs Herschel debate only pertains to GOAT college RB

We have less swamps here which makes it easier to get around, so we have access to more than just our sisters
