12 Ft Statue!

way to let the air out of the thread balloon...

I'm sorry to occasionally let the facts get in the way of a good argument. :thumbsup:

This one came to my mind first.

Ditto. This is the picture I wished they had used for the back of the Jumbotron. Actually, that is the picture that was in the proposed renderings.

Maybe they will paint the speed hump white and name it the Tony Robinson Memorial Bump?

Easily the best post in the thread. Well done.

Where will they put the fulmer and manning statues?

 

[triadvolfan]

Or at least named a stadium after him...

good point

UT has gone overboard with the statues and street names...This should have been the first and one of the few put up! To me it has been cheapened!

I agree with the street names.

I think this is fitting given that the stadium is named after him.

Does anyone know where these wax statues are at? I've never seen them, and would like to chech em out.

Neyland-Thompson Sports Complex if I'm not mistaken. In the front is the UT Football Hall of Fame. They used to (and I assume they still do) have lots of cool stuff including the 98 Sears Trophy, UT-UK beer barrel (probably gone now), and I believe that's where the wax statues are.

They were going to put up a statue of Kiffin, but the Knoxville Council for Civic Decency wouldn't allow a 5'10" phallus.

It will be erected in the red light district--among his own kind.

Not anymore, they were taken down two years ago.

Thanks I appreciate it!

They were going to move them to the new workout facilities in the middle of August for the new football season and to highlight the unveiling. The guys got them outside after much work and took a lunch break. When they came back all that was left was a couple of puddles of wax with football helmets on top.

Maybe UT can build a wax museum on campus somewhere, and put wax figures of famous UT coaches and athletes all over the place. They can charge $5 for admission and make big money!

I would go. At least once.

 

[Snakes on a Wii]

All jokes aside if it comes up would Phil get one?

I would hope so. If you look at the whole body of his work the guy did a great job here at Tennessee, he just slumped in his later years.

I think the joke is they already have something like that

so they named a waste treatment plant after him...

Casey Clausen

I thought Casey Clausen WAS a statue.

No that was Erik Ainge in the pocket before he launched it out of bounds

I posted in another thread that I think it would be cool if we had a few statues -- maybe lining a walkway. . . .could have a few Vol greats. I don't know of anywhere else that has such a monument to its football program. Reggie would require a lot of bronze, that's for sure.

Just don't make 'em out of wax if they're outside.
