So, you think a pole vaulter is more worthy than Cannon?

LSU is not going to build a statue for someone that didn't graduate from LSU. There are criteria for athletics statues on campus.

He had his chance at that statue. Chose another path.

I would have him stripped from the LSU record books before giving him a statue

Put it by the track complex and have him pole vaulting. Would be awesome.

Absolutely not true.

He only went to LSU for one year. I'll pass.

Did Pete Maravich graduate?

Holy recency bias Batman

quote:I said nothing regarding the team accomplishments
Remind me again how many nattys Shaq and Pete won.
Shaq and Pete were both voted Player of the Year
Mondo was runner up in his big individual event that year
Mondo doesn’t hold a candle to someone like Glen Hardin I mentioned earlier for lsu track who won multiple individual NCAA titles while here at lsu while also having Olympic gold and world records
Mondo will be the all time greatest pole vaulter. But as far as an lsu track athlete, his accolades aren’t even near the top. Not even close. We have multiple track athletes with MULTIPLE ncaa individual titles
For recency bias if you want, go compare Sha’cari Richardson lsu achievements vs mondo. She trumps him completely
Both were here only one year
Richardson won the ncaa title in her discipline and won The National Track Athlete of the year (Bowerman)
Mondo did neither

Talking about pole vaulting.
On a scale of 1-10 - how much infulence pole vaulting has on american youth.
And you want to make a statue of the guy?
So many football greats at LSU dont even have a statue.

I am going with Mondo, Pete, Skip, and Joe for what they did at LSU.

the lady who won gold for St Lucian runs for Texas.
But Mondo went to LSU and is from Louisiana.
Blame USA for their selection process.

The USA is not to “blame”. Their selection process is there for very good reasons.
Mondo made a decision to better himself personally. Fine by me. But don’t blame the USA for that

The amount of people who think the US needs to bend over backwards to accommodate one athlete is crazy
