How large should the Currie statue be if we get Brent Venables?
« 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?

Maybe a series of life-size statues placed all around Manhattan with various poses?

I'll love him if he gets BV.  Unless BV ends up sucking,  then Currie was a dumbshit that should have hired someone else.
I once blew clove smoke in a guy's face that cut in front of me in the line to KJ's.

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.

This placement and size is correct, but the pose needs to be him behind the bench watching frank.
