Mixing it up no politics--Favorite MSU player of all time?

So, I am sure this has been done before but who is your favorite Mississippi State Athlete of all time?

Mine would probably be Fred Smoot or Dicenzo Miller. I know neither of them were the best statistically at their position. I was 8 years old when that group was playing and have some great memories from 97-2000.

Baseball would be Travis Chapman or Mathew Maniscalco. Again, I was pretty young and have some awesome memories watching those guys from Left Field. Neither were the best we have had but both were solid and had some memorable moments.

Basketball would probably be Lawrence Roberts. Just loved the way he played the game. Not the most talented but extremely physical and played hard.

Football: Obvious answer to me is Dak but if not him then mine would be Jerious Norwood or Anthony Dixon.

Baseball: Adam Frazier, Jeffery Rea, or Jake Mangum.

Basketball: Winsome Frazier, Jamont Gordon, or Dee Bost.

Football - Gotta go with Sleepy. '91 was my freshman year - will always be partial to that team.
Baseball - Mangum - partly because I got to see so many games thanks to the SECN. But, man that guy just IS MSU Baseball
Basketball - Darryl Wilson

Football - Fred Raynor
Baseball - Tanner Leggett
Basketball - no favorite

Kylin Hill.

Football: Johnnie Cooks or John Bond. I flip flop on which I like better.

Baseball: Bruce Castoria. Loved watching it when he went yard.

Basketball: Lawrence Roberts. Always hustled.

Football - Ashley Cooper or Jeffery Simmons

Basketball- Timmy Bowers

Baseball- Ethan Small or Brent Rooker

Football: Don Smith
Basketball: Cameron Burns
Baseball: Pete Young

Football - Anthony Dixon

Basketball- Charles Rhodes

Baseball-Jake Mangum

Football - Ashley Cooper
Basketball - Winsome Frazier
Baseball - Pete Young

Football - Dak, then Anthony Dixon, J. Abram
Basketball - Lawrence Roberts, Winsome Frasier, and then Vernado
Baseball - Mangum, then Rooker, then MacNamee for that awesome 2 weeks.

Football: Dak
Basketball: Darryl Wilson
Baseball: Palmerio

Baseball: Hunter Renfroe
Basketball: Jarvis Varnado
Football: Nickoe Whitley

Can't narrow it down to just one in each sport so I went with two.

Football: Dicenzo Miller/Eric Moulds

Baseball: Will Clark/Jake Mangum

Basketball: Super D/Dontae Jones

Football: Anthony Dixon

Baseball: Mac

Basketball: WINNNSOOMMME FRRRRRAAZZZIEEERRR for 3

Football - Dak, LaDarius Perkins, John Bond

Baseball - Eric DuBose, Will Clark, Rafael Palmeiro

Basketball - Erick Dampier, Tony Watts, Greg Carter

Football: Rockey Felker and Ashley Cooper

Basketball: Dontae Jones

Baseball: Will Clark and Rafael Palmerio

Football: Terry Vitrano on the strength of his MVP Sun Bowl vs NC in 1974.

Basketball: Jeff Malone

Baseball: The Mayor of Oxford

For me I'd have to say Will Clark.

Thanks for the break from all the politics on the board, about sick of it myself. This is so hard to do; so many great Bulldogs. I can't name just one but I'll give a list. Sure I left some great ones off.

Football - Dak, Miller time, Moulds, JJ, Norwood, Ed Smith, Simmons, Cooks

Baseball - Mangum, Thigpen, Clark, Rooker, Small, Holder

Basketball - Jarvis V, T Bowers, Zimmerman, Rhodes, Wilson, Burns,

Football Stan Black
Basketball Dontae Jones
Baseball Pete Young

Rockey Felker

Will Clark

Wiley Peck

Football: 1a. Dak 1b. Simmons
Basketball: Varnardo
Baseball: Mangum

Baseball - Dubose/Small - both were dominant and gave us all a bit of swagger when they took the mound.

Basketball - Dontae Jones/Teaira McCowan - both helped elevate their respective program.

Football - Dak - simply because he transcended the sport and touched the ball each play.

Dak, with Walter Packer and Johnnie Cooks tied for second.
