Any thoughts on the Vandy game?

 

[Woodrow Call]

Arkansas has three guys that weren't famous as athletes while they were playing, but became bigger names than Lance Alworth. Jerry Jones, Barry Switzer and Jimmy Johnson all played at Arkansas but made their names as coaches and as an owner.

 

[Lawrence Wright]

Any thoughts on the Vandy game?

Yes, my thoughts are in the UF-Vandy thread.

Exactly, not looking for best players, looking for most famous.

 

[ZZ13]

For Auburn, I would think Charles Barkley is more famous than Bo. Bo’s fame was limited in time. Charles fame is ongoing.

 

[ZZ13]

And Kentucky and LSU also basketball players. About 10 candidates for UK. Shaq or Maravich for LSU.

I honestly forgot about Dak and was really into baseball in the 90s. But you're right, it's Dak.
