statutes immortalizing Calhoun and Auriemma

[David 76]

A giant JC Statue, legs spanning the road where the opponents bus arrives so they pass between his legs. It should have a "fountain" feature spraying down.

We need a statue of Calhoun on a horse so when people come to Gampel they think, what --- is Calhoun doing on a horse?

Excellent diversion.....otherwise they might ask "what the duck* is he talking about?"

 

[Kembacity]

It really would. There are some definite iconic poses we could use: Emeka going straight up for the block, the Bazz leg-kick release on the 3, Rashad blowing on his fingers, Rip's J, Ray dunking baseline, Kemba crossing over, Nadav holding the ball up to pass....

One of the billionaires on the Boneyard needs to make this happen.

I think a Ray statue should go up soon, but it should be a statue of that picture perfect shooting form

Calhoun should have 3 statues one with each NC trophy.

Not so sure I like the thought of Calhoun on a horse. After all, he had a hard enough time staying on a bicycle.

I'd like JC and Geno Eifel Tower'ing the NCAA, if that means Emmert, all the better

Without these two guys UCONN is still probably irrelevant in the sports world. They are due every praise possible.

It's sad that football has somewhat recently set back their amazing accomplishments. They are legends.

I'd like to see two statues in front of the Gampel area with the two looking at each other from afar. That is tradition right there (something we lack)

Football hansn't, nor will it ever, "set back" their achievements. It's just keeping us from getting in to the P5.

I'd like to see a 50 ft tall giant Calhoun head in the act of screaming. Position it right where the opponents get off their bus.

Ah so many great choices for this:
Pointing and screaming:

Giving the old "get your ass on the bench:

 

[CL82]

or perhaps the old "WTF"

or maybe a "it wasn't me" after chewing a ref's butt:

 

[CL82]

Of course the crossed armed glower would have to be in the mix:

But I think that this might be my favorite:

More realistically, maybe they should be giving each other the finger.

The court is never getting named for just Jim, so let's put that fantasy to bed.

Probably not directly, but we may see something like "Hall of Fame Court" when Geno retires. Jim got Calhoun Way. That's nothing to sneeze at.

What ever happened to the bronze boneyard bone??

Horses balance themselves.
