friend of mine has seen the statue and says it's very nice.  assume it will be installed after concrete is done out front.

it was done by a guy in kansas city (crossroads neighborhood).

Stretch?

technically concrete takes like decades to set, but it should be set enough to hold a statue in a week-ish

We better put it in a floating magnetic field (think hoverboard from BTTF 2) to take that risk away.

Stretch is too busy fighting the street car to devote the requisite amount of time to our relic.

Weren't we told we couldn't have trees because of the foot and vehicle traffic, though? How much time do we need to allow for vehicles?

I am picturing this statue done by the same guy who did the painting of Frank during midnight madness a few years ago.

Looked like about half the asphalt was laid down in front when I drove by this afternoon.  No flats yet.

Do we have the most premium seating in the big12 now?  I was looking at pictures of other stadiums, and there is a laughably low amount of club+ level seating.  OSU maybe?

Dax!?!?

I'm sure this is probably common knowledge, but I wasn't aware of it and it should have been done a long time ago.

List probably is something like this.

1) Texas
2) OSU
3) OU
4) Texas Tech
5) TCU
6) K-State
7) West Virginia
8) Iowa State
9) Baylor
10) Kansas

Tech may currently have more than OU, but they're close.

Tech and OU don't have that much. TCU has about the equivalent to the east side at KSU. The club section at TCU is small.
