Statues In Front of Indoor Football Facility

[OrangePA]

It sounds like multiple statues are being considered.

 

[OrangeMojo]

John Mackey? Jim Brown? Floyd Little? Jamere Knox?

 

[jekelish]

Brown, Davis (or would they not go with multiple statues of him on campus?), Schwartzwalder...

...and then maybe guys like Little, Csonka, McNabb, Monk, Morris, Mackey, Idris Price? Depending on how many they end up going with?

Well done.

I don't think you can have a statue if there's still a question about whether or not you have another year of eligibility.

Tomcat?

Was going to to post similar but vote for Orangeeyes. Tomcat would probably settle for a Gingerale dispenser beside his seat in the dome.

 

[44PRIDE]

No Ernie Davis statue please. Seriously. That dude has a Movie, Statue, Field and Dorm already made in his honor.

I'm hoping for Jim Brown.

 

[SUFan44]

Sir Mawn Wilson is my vote.

Tomcat, OE, and CTO in the foreground, with Bees, Jake, and Bill O in the background. Start the donation thread, here's my $50. If we don't raise enough for the statue, give them what we make to have them just pose like that for an hour or two before the Clemson game.

No way to counterbalance that statue. It would just keep toppling over.

 

[OrangeCrush22]

I think it'd be cool to have a mural of all the greats somewhere on the facility.

I would like to see a statute for each decade of Syracuse football, where people could see the changes in equipment and the Syracuse uniform over time.

1900s Bill Horr
1910s Joe Alexander
1920s Vic Hanson
1930s Duffy Daugherty
1940s Joe Szombathy
1950s Jim Brown
1960s Floyd Little
1970s Art Monk
1980s Joe Morris or Tim Green
1990s Donovan McNabb
2000s Dwight Freeney
2010s TBD

This list is off the top of my head, might have missed someone. Wanted to select someone to represent the 1890s but I don't think there was an outstanding player at Syracuse during that period.

Makes me happy to hear, hope it comes to fruition!!

That's nice and all, but let's get construction going on the IPF first!!
