    Well, there were only four slots available. If there were eight I'd add Shaquille, Bob Pettit, Jimmy Taylor, and Dale Brown. And there would still not be enough room for Y.A. Tittle, Tommy Casanova, Charles Alexander, and Jerry Stovall..

    I take Shaq over Cannon for the PR aspect. Do we really want a convicted counterfeiter on our Rushmore?

    coaches are out.
    to be up there you should win, so all lsu bball players are out. its a short list unless you want to put T&F athletes up there---cannon, maybe clayton, and pick a couple basball players that won multiple titles--walker and ??

    excluding three all-time top 50 players is usually a bad idea.

    Here's one that no one will like (and I'm keeping coaches out to make it easier)...
    Pete Maravich, Billy Cannon, Ben McDonald, and Seimone Augustus
    (each considered to be the best in their sport at one time or another)

    Pete Maravich, Charlie Mac, Skip Bertman, and Dale Brown.
    I guess it should contain the most important coaches in the schools history. I know Saban won a title, but I give Cholly the spot b/c of longevity. Its very tough though. Pistol gets it b/c he was one of the few athletes that actually transcended his sport.

    Can we leave out our only Heisman Trophy winner? I think not.

    i will take bertman, shaq, maravich and cannon. cannon should be chiseled in such a way that he can be morphed into perrilloux.
