And I just realized bo Jackson, frank Thomas, and Charles Barkley were all there at the same time. Could you imagine having 3 of the best players ever in the big 3 sports at one time? That had to be a great time to be an auburn fan

Dang, I forgot the Big Hurt was there. That's nuts.
**** Auburn.
I think Thomas came after Bo and Barkley left.
I remember the first time I saw Charles Barkley...he was a freshman, and he was jumping against Kalpatrick Wells to start the game. Barkley is only 6'4" and fat, while Wells was 6'9" and the prototypical center.
I was laughing at Barkley for being so fat and short...until I saw him jump. It was like he had a rocket in his shoes. He outjumped Wells by about 6 inches.
If he hadn't have gone pro before his Senior year, I was going to bring a pizza and cookies with me before the game so we could've shared.
I remember thinking to myself, "If he only lost a bunch of weight, he'd be an alltime great". Well, he did and he did.
