I just finished an article at Saturdaydownsouth.com about statues at SEC stadiums. The Frank Broyles statue was of course mentioned, but I want to know, will we ever get a Brandon Burlsworth statue?! If any player, since Arkansas doesn't have any Heisman winners, ever deserved to have a statue erected it is Burls!
:razorback:
Also, Nolan Richardson getting a banner was great, but the guy won a basketball national title! Shouldn't the court in BWA be named after him, and shouldn't he get a statue too?!  ???
If it ain't broke, fix it till it is.

Everyone should get a statue. Everyone.

Notice he says your boy instead of "our coach". Very telling.

I'm not worried. If he recruits like he did here Louisville will fire him in about 5 years.

Using that rationale, there should be 40 John McD statues on campus. And now one for Lance Harter.

40? I think one statue with a plaque reading about all of his championships would suffice, don't you?

If anyone deserves one, I think Darren McFadden has the qualifications for one:

Freshman SEC Offensive P.O.Y. (2005)
2x Consensus All-American (2006, 2007)
2x Doak Walker Award (2006, 2007)
Jim Brown Trophy (2006)
Walter Camp Award (2007)
2× Heisman Trophy Runner-up (2006, 2007)
2x SEC Offensive Player of the Year (2006, 2007)
Maxwell Award finalist (2007)
2nd All-Time SEC Rushing with 5,259 yards (behind only Herschel Walker)
Holds virtually all Arkansas rushing records

Nothing at all against BB, but there would be an air of political correctness about that,
that would give me a sharp pain in my gut.

I think Nolan should get one.  I think John McDonnel should get a statue and he should be leaning ever so slightly to one side, arm resting at shoulder height on a mountain of NC trophies.

TrueBlue

If a player deserves one, it has to be Bambi... NFL Hall of Fame, College Football Hall of Fame, and multiple All American teams while at Arkansas. Still holds multiple receiving records in the NFL and over 10,000 career receiving yards.

what about Norm Debryn [spelling, LOL]--and Van Horn is getting pretty close.

Since we aren't doing players I won't mention Lance Alworth--but I think it has to start with him.

Yes and it should be the biggest on campus and with the reddest shinny cowboy boots on it imaginable.

There is already a full size bronze McDonnel statue on Razorback Road at Meadow St. at the corner of the outdoor track stadium, so that one is covered.

What about a statue for Dana Altman??

Statues should be for those that changed the program (for the better, obviously) on a large scale and not just players that were great for a few years.

I like it. And don't put a blonde on the back. Leave the back seat available for lady fans to sit on the back and take pictures. It could be a big draw, right?  ;D

It's also amazing how many people don't seem to know that John McDonnell has a statue on campus (or know how to spell the name of the most successful coach Arkansas will ever have). He doesn't deserve one. He's got one. It exists. You can go see it today.

We should get one for Houston Nutt if we can find the right pose to reflect his time at Arkansas.  :)

Not only is it amazing that so many people don't realize that he already has one, but it's even more amazing since its been mentioned several times in this thread that he has already got one!
