What Do You Think Of This Idea
Page 2 of 3
  1. The statues should be reserved for legendary greatness. Y.A. Tittle, Billy Cannon, and Jim Taylor. At the PMAC you would have guys like Maravich, Pettit, and O'Neal. It should encompass a lifetime of uncommon excellence. Ok, Cannon didn't have a lifetime of excellence but he did win a Heisman.
  2. In OU's stadium they have banners with past All-Americans pictures on it, and the year they made the team. It's in the inner lower section of their stadium, and goes all the way around the stadium. I thought it looked nice.

    We could do bronze plaques and display them around the exterior of the stadium. Maybe replace one window in the old student dorms with a player's plaque. There's enough windows, and it wouldn't take away from the looks of the stadium. Coaches could show them to incoming freshmen, and challenge them with earning a place in LSU history.

    Something like this..

  3. I don't think it would help recruiting much at all. Play time, national exposure, coaching staff, and facilities are the major reasons a recruit choses a school. The idea of having a statue of him someplace would definately not be a factor.
  4. I like the plaque idea better than the statue.
  5. I agree 100%. A plaque would mean little if it were given to anyone who accomplished something. The Hall of Fame would be a good place, but may be a little redundant since the people in question are already represented there.
  6. Thats what Bama did this year and I dont see tem contending for the NC. :yelwink2:

  7. You forgot Kevin Faulk.. :eek:
  8. How could I! His high school football coach was my baseball coach. There were so many I may have forgotten others.
  9. A good idea. I like the plaque thing, inside the stadium. It shows respect for tradition and the contribution of individuals to our tradition. Its a small plus added to the recruiting thing. Who knows, if all else is equal, it could pull one kid a year from going somewhere else. To be meaningful, it should be limited, I like the all americans only idea. It takes the decision out of LSUs hands, into impartial (?) territory. But its objective, and limited.
  10. An Escalade would be cheaper.

    Or we could just bring agents into the locker room like USC.
