"I'm sure the source and list can be debated....". My disclaimer failed miserably! Rough crowd to get a discussion started.
Of course any list is going to be debatable. In fact, yours truly is #93 on the Princeton list, so WTF? What's a guy got to do?
Spiny, I certainly agree that Ernie Nevers, Bob Mathias and Hank Luisetti are worthy of being on any list of Stanford greats. However, I think if you asked the general public to name the top Stanford athletes of all time, none of them would be on there.
List be damned, I think it's good enough and the questions are still valid. What say the rest of you?
