Maravich Statue going up tomorrow.

You have a vivid imagination if you think that’s what the statue means

To be fair we only recently got into statues.

Isn’t that the HoF rule? Wouldn’t you be pissed if your dad was fired? The Pistol deserves his statue

So no statue for Burrow?

Burrow graduated from LSU with a master's degree.

So then he gets two trophies

Meh. I liked the rule that statues go to LSU graduates. The building is named for him and any new arena should be too. That’s honor enough. Pete washed his hands of LSU when he left. He was pissed when they fired his father. He was not some proud alumnus. LSU meant nothing to him after he left.

Who cares?

Pete did far more for LSU than LSU did for him. He deserves everything given to him (statue, arena named after him, etc).

Not an incorrect statement

Re JB, isn't there a time frame that has to pass before an athlete can be honored like this? Or is it to have a jersey retired? As for Pete, he is nationally recognized as having played for LSU & his per game scoring average is always tied to his LSU high lights. As noted, he died young & who is to say his feelings for LSU might easily have changed. He changed several parts of his life over time, his faith became quite strong & he completely changed his diet to a healthy one, absent as well from any booze. It was his old man who became extremely bitter over his firing, to the extent he took all the game films of Pete at LSU with him when he left.

He also died at like 45. Time goes by and things change. He never got that opportunity.

He actually died at 40 and agree with you. Far to young to pass judgement on him about LSU.

I didn’t read the article. Is the other statue the binder plated in 24 karat gold?
