January 22, 200917 yr Everytime I see the bolded I can't help but chuckle... What about the thought of the faces of 3 men and a horse chiseled into the side of a mountain? :lol:

January 22, 200917 yr Ali and Rupp are the 2 guarentees IMHO. The next 2 are up for debate. I like Paul Hornung and Issel myself, but you could go with Denny Crum, Secretariat, Johnny U, Pat Riley, Never Nervous...and still not go wrong.
January 22, 200917 yr 1. Ali. The most recognizable athlete on the planet for YEARS. 2. Rupp 3. Secretariat :thumb: Those three have to be there...unless we're banning horse heads from the mountain. The 4th one is not so easy. How about we chisel 4 small heads of Farmer, Pelphrey, Feldhaus and Woods? :lol: That was a joke, BTW. Personally, I've always been a big fan of Denny Crum. I wouldn't argue another selection, but he'd be my personal preference.
