The Gipper -- admittedly fiction, but still a great name.
More fiction: Fast Eddie Felson and Minnesota Fats
Did someone mention The golden bear already? I don't recall seeing it.

George Gipp far from fiction. Great Domer back. First ND Walter Camp AA. Treat the lines as factual. Rock delivered his speech at halftime of a game against undefeated Army and the Irish came back to win. The player who scored the winning TD was killed in WW2.

Bryant "The White Lobster" Barr.
The number two player in importance on the Davidson team that ran to the Elite Eight in 2008, behind Stephen "Steph" Curry.

George Gipp was real, although the myth may have overtaken him. And we do not mention "golden whatevers" around here.

Yes, the 2 biggest names were:
El Santo AND
Blue Demon
A lesser known wrestler, but one of my all-time favorites was Fray Tormenta (Friar Storm). The Jack Black movie, Nacho Libre, is loosely based on this wrestling priest.

True r ed Gipp. I was thinking of the movie.
Bu th r ed the golden bear, that's the well known golfer from Ohio State, so seems to me it should be ok to mention him.
