Statues?

[Will.sixpack]

By now I'm sure y'all have seen the updated renderings of DNF, but I thought this picture was most interesting.

Bulldog baseball statues? And as far as I know, the first statues of athletes at State?

Boo Ferriss and ?

 

[FQDawg]

If it's not a statue of Ron Polk angrily typing a letter to the NCAA on a typewriter, I'm not interested.

 

[Awwhellnaw]

It's a college kid enjoying a golden shower behind the right field wall.

Obviously.

 

[HotMop]

Mr. Dement and Mr. Mize.

 

[Chesusdog]

Geez, it's been a while since I was in school but I don't remember that happening very often. Usually just during Super Bulldog weekend.

 

[Heinz57]

Thunder and Lightning - they put us on the baseball map

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

Palmeiro and Rooker? If there's 2, those are the only triple crown winners in SEC history, so it may make sense.

 

[aTotal360]

Jake M. Levine, Jr.

 

[Carbaryl]

Pretty sure Cohen said it's Will and Raffy.

 

[Drebin]

Someone used to have a photoshop of Polk with a bucket of paint and a paintbrush, like he was coming to cover up his name on the outside of the stadium. That would be the perfect statue to me.

 

[CochiseCowbell]

Thunder and Lightning - they put us on the baseball map

I can't ever remember who is which or if it was a blanket nickname.

 

[patdog]

I've always thought of Raffy at Lightning and Clark as Thunder. But I really don't know if that's just me or not.

 

[EngDawg]

It better be Clark and Palmiero

 

[CochiseCowbell]

golden shower Obviously.

I don't think that term means what you think it means.

 

[bulldognation]

I'm sure there's an ample supply of Confederate statues available.

 

[512taylor]

If it's not a statue of Ron Polk angrily typing a letter to the NCAA on a typewriter, I'm not interested.

Now, that's funny!

 

[512taylor]

There are several Pre-Polk era players that qualify.

 

[The Usual Suspect]

Burke Masters swinging for the grand slam could get a mention.

 

[bigiron.sixpack]

Cohen, was on H2H Monday and said it’s Clark and Palmero.

I wish they would have them in a pose from after launching one. That looks more appropriate to me. I know these are from the majors, but i'm sure we could find one from their college days very similar.

 

[MaroonNation]

One has to be 5 Tool Playa!

On a different note, who should we havevstatues for in other sports? I'm voting Varnado for hoops since he is the all time leading shot blocker.

 

[KurtRambis4]

The detail in this

drawing is amazing. Someone really did their homework. Roughly 50% the folks aren't wearing maroon.

If there was a statue for a basketball player it would be of Bailey Howell.

 

[MSUDAWGFAN]

Good call. That's a no brainer and it just slipped my mind. He would be the obvious easy choice.

 

[thekimmer]

Nah. Boo has too much identity with DSU....

Boo Ferriss and ?

Thunder and lighting are the perfect choices. Both All-americans. Raffy a triple crown winner, Clark an olympian and golden spikes winner. Both very successful and identifiable from MLB. Its just such a tragedy that a HOF worthy MLB career and a man's reputation was destroyed so breathtakingly fast and with such finality. Now its virtually impossible for even the most staunch maroon blooded to hear his name without the scandal flashing immediately through the mind.

Somebody should fark the photo to include Stingray, Polk and a typewriter, some Ole Miss graffiti, maybe a peepin Croom... etc etc. There's a lot you could cram into that shot.
