If I remember correctly wasnt Andrew "poncho" Glover all SWAC in football basketball and track all in the same year? I think '88 or '89?
In Track-n-Field, it's (Ohhh, I forget his name, National Champ a few years ago)... That dude
Yep. :tup: I think he left in '91. I think he played with Jake Reed and Walter Dean.
Some of you guys are horrible and can't follow directions. You were to choose 1 from your university and one from another. Without people who are or going to to the hall of fame.
Some of you guys just put down 1-15...Everyone has plenty of great athletes, but can you find one meeting those parametersabove??????????

You need to change the name of the thread then... How can you have a "GREATEST HBCU ATHLETE" thread and not include the "GREATEST" players....?
Maybe you shoulda said something like ... "the best players that are unknown" or something...
Good point, someone change this thread to
"the best players that are unknown"
I'm kind of torn on the men's side with Townsend from baseball...
That boy was nice...Fast as a deer and in 2004 at SU, he hit a ball that went foul down the left field line that got out of the park in 1.5 seconds...Thank god it was foul because if it was fair, he deserved 6 runs for the run rocket...
Females....Jackie Winfield, bar none from Southern and any other school in the conference. She dominated from the word "go."
For JSU, you'd have to begin with Walter Payton. He set virtually all rushing records at JSU, before going to the Bears. Then comes Lewis Tillman, Willie Richardson, Kevin Dent, Jimmy Smith, Sylvester Morris, Dennis Conner, Charles 'Ray' Davis, and Robert Kent.
Basketball-wise, you have to list the Short brothers, Eugene and Purvis. Followed closely by Lindsey Hunter and Trey Johnson. On the women's side, Bertha Hardy comes to my mind.
On the baseball diamond, it's Dennis 'Oil Can' Boyd.
In Track-n-Field, it's (Ohhh, I forget his name, National Champ a few years ago)... That dude..
Like I said, hands down, She was the GOAT, female athlete during my lifetime in the SWAC.
I remember several games in which Jackie just laughed in the face of the people guarding them....seconds before she either took them to the hole or drilled a trey in their grill...
The coldest part about Jackie was she just made it look easy as hell.
