Hope he changes his mind. If it was solely for him, that'd be one thing, but having Maravich et al. put up first, then having his erected later I think would be kosher.

Exactly. Which is why this would be a worthwhile compromise.

First Maravich, then Petite, then Shaq down the line.

Shaq may be the best sports representative LSU has ever had.

Are they putting that on top of the big block they already installed that is coverred in trash bags for some odd reason? Cause i saw them install that thing and it didnt have his name on it.

I'm very sad to see that we will be joining the morons at Bama, Florida, and Auburn in erecting fricking stupid statues of living athletes and coaches.

Oh well.

Not sure this is the case. As per the article, Petite has specifically said he doesn't want the statue to go up in his lifetime.

Not to mention O’Neal has already donated the money for the completion of the Seimone Augustus statue!


gotta respect him for donating the amounts he has and wanting nothing in return
