SU has exactly one statue: Ernie Davis. Maybe there should be others: Jim Brown, Floyd Little, Dave Bing, Vic Hansen? I wonder if we could put the three 44s near each other on that little patch of land between the sidewalks.

I think eventually there should be four: Ernie, Jim Brown. Jim Boeheim and Roy Simmons Jr.

I'd much sooner see a cool ring of honor in the Dome than spend more money on statues. Ernie's is fine.

i'd rather see bronze busts (no comment please ha) on some sort of granite or marble pedestals in the shape of a block s or semi-circle somewhere on the quad or at the entrance to the dome off the quad. but FIRST i'd like to see improved facilities!!!!

im pretty sure theres a parking lot somewhere close to the Dome which can be sod over and a few statues placed...

Oh Lord

Let's see, improved facilities v. a statue. That's like saying, I should buy a new car before I buy a new shirt..

How about the many alcoves on the side of the building?

thats a nice idea- integrate a ring of fame around the outside of the dome-let people see some su history before they even go in

Oh yeah... and you have $30 to spend.

Or, rename the entrances to the Dome and put a bust or statue of whomever it is named after?

Remember the UT Legends Walk project from a couple years ago when they used generic, possibly racist statues to salute specific players?

That may be the ugliest thing I've ever seen in my life.

I will donate money to SU to NOT do that.

Hopefully, that is not what anyone had in mind for SU.

agreed!!!!!look like action figures at toys are us

 

[jekelish]

I'm not sure I'd want a bunch of statues. Adding too many kind of dilutes the honor of receiving one, kinda like how the Celtics retire the number of just about anyone who ever played for them.

With that said, Jim Brown and Jim Boeheim have to be the next two, if we add any. After that, I think you'd have to put Dave Bing and Donovan McNabb high on the list.

Good idea. Would emphasize one of our strengths, tradition.

John Mackey? Bernie Custis?
