statutes immortalizing Calhoun and Auriemma

[popcorn]

With where these two men took this university and made
them into national powers. Do you feel as if they should be
immortalized with statutes in front of Gampel or a new arena
should they build one.

So you want like laws passed that we have to bow before entering the building or something?

Or did you perhaps mean to type statues?

 

[GemParty]

Can't wait to watch a practice in the new Champions Center.

Took you six minutes for that comeback. Which is good, since the statue of limitations on spelling jokes is 10 minutes.

I think that full body statues should wait until the men are deceased or at least definitely retired (in Geno's case). I'd be fine with monstrous busts of each greeting visitors to the practice facility, but not anywhere near ground level. Dont want to give any visiting team's fans a chance to try to tarnish the greatness

 

[popcorn]

Greatness is correct. Had these men chose not to take
the jobs Uconn would be a mid-major scraping for
recruits. Now kids know who we are male and females. No A&C no Uconn.

+ Maybe Ray Allen, Rebecca Lobo, Diana Taurasi, Emeka ..........

If not I'm going to blame Johnny Selvie.

I hate you.

Done.

I believe that both UConn 2000 ($1B) and 21st Century UConn ($1.3B) are statutes immortalizing Calhoun and Auriemma.

 

[David 76]

Yes and please, before they die.

 

[popcorn]

D76 you're right before they die. They should be there for the unveiling
ceremonies. Dammit their names should be on each side of the court for the nation to see. They are Uconn basketball.

 

[Hans Sprungfeld]

So there was no misspelling.

Why stop there? We could make an army of statues outside the practice center like the Terracotta Army.

I mean, I know this is a joke and all... but that would be awesome.

I'd be fine with monstrous busts greeting me pretty much anywhere.

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.

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.

 

[Fishy]

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

Not it!

Let's hope nothing was erected in connection with that legislation.

 

[Calhoun's Court]

Still can't believe UCONN hasn't named the Court at Gampel after JC.

With coaches who have accomplished far less like Jimmy B,. John Cress and Bobby Crimins having their
own Courts how can JC not have one named in his honor?

And I don't need to hear the Geno argument(name somrthing else for him).

But that Court should be in Calhoun's name only IMO.
