Plaza 44 groundbreaking tomorrow

Yet we have a communist trial mural greeting us as we enter the quad... :noidea:

They were Anarchists, and the latest scholarship indicates that one was guilty, one not.

My column on Bud Poliquin:

Bud waits patiently every day for the mailman to deliver his sports journalism award. Alas, it's not in the cards for the whizzbang wayward scribe from the blustery burg on the shores of Lake Michigan.

Syracuse.com is like that Aunt that always follows up "congratulations on that great thing" with a "but you know" negative thing.

Freaking Bud.

My Dad worked at the Post Standard and said the guys head wouldn't fit in the elevator.

Must have been the same person that did the Lucille Ball statue...

Did that artist not understand that Lucy and Ray Wise are not the same person?

Yeah, not so good with faces.

Hooray! ESPN quoted Poliquin's column, so he probably thinks he's justified now.

I don't even think the second attempt is very good or looks like Ernie...but it is 100x better than the first pathetic statue.

Correct. The first one did not look like Ernie.
The statue that's on the quad now is the second attempt, by a different artist.

That right there just epitomized the leadership of Doc Gross. Just a complete lack of logistical follow through, despite a great idea. Here's hoping our next AD will just be a little more detail oriented as well as a big thinker.

Is this working for anyone>?

Nope. They tweeted this now:

This is the best statue IMO. Is located in Elmira and was done by the same sculptor who did the one that sits outside the Dome (Bruno Lucchesi). My recollection is that we couldn't have a duplicate of the Elmira one because the sculptor had broken the mold.
