Title: How large should the Currie statue be if we get Brent Venables?
Post by: Pete on November 14, 2016, 02:56:30 PM: Now that we are nearly a lock to get LHCBS his 200th win this season, it's time to start thinking about how best to thank Future Legendary Athletic Director John Currie for bringing Brent home.

Obviously we MUST make Currie the highest paid AD in the Big 12 if he brings Brent home, AND extend his contract (with no buyout penalty for him) for the next 20 years.

However, not so obvious is my idea for. Statue of Currie to preserve his legacy as the man who re-saved Kansas State.

I am picturing a statue similar to the famed colossus of Rhodes, which would straddle LHC Bill Snyder highway, wth on food on the "KS" hill and the other just across the highway.

Which way do you have him face though? To the inbound Manhattanites or to the outbound Manhattanites? Or do you just have a giant statue that is the exact same on both sides, all seeing eye-esque?

Post by: EMAWforever on November 15, 2016, 12:35:58 PM: They should be animated statues. So, if BV takes us to the promise land, they can program it to say "I John Currie, King of all things Kstate, (as you kneel) do knight thee a warrior for Kansas State University, now rise and go slay a jayhawk." Or if we suck, "I john Currier ruined everything about Kstate and you do whatever mean things to my statue that you want and post it on goEMAW.

As we approach the Thanksgiving holiday, I would like to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your support of K-State student-athletes. Here at K-State we have a lot to be thankful for – a vibrant university with a new dynamic president located in America’s No. 1 College Town; a community and fan base that supports its university like no other place in the country; 170-plus departmental employees all pulling in the same direction toward a common goal of a Model Intercollegiate Athletics Program; collectively, the best group of head coaches in the country; and last but not least, a group of student-athletes who represent Kansas State University so well and bring the energy and passion with them each day to be the best they can on the playing field, in the classroom and in life

Very ambitious. Looks sort of Stalinist, imho

Only if it is made from a continuous pour of concrete.

Then it would either be Stalinist or the center of the University of Nebraska's campus. Then again, aesthetically sort of the same places.
