Give Nolan a Statue

[buff2.0]

Found some of my oldest posts on this board about the topic.

Bobby appreciates a winner.  Caesar Petrion would have gotten Nolan his own statue on day 1.

So has NOT building Nolan Richardson his own statue been helping us?

Now Bobby Bones is on board.  It seems spamming everyone on X after the LSU 9th inning meltdown is paying off.

It needs to happen ASAP but you know it won't.

What's the hold up?  Who could possibly be against it?

Yeah, if they just opened up a fundraiser they could have 100k by the end of the week. 

A huge bronze statute, I would say either a statue of him doing the "strollin with Nolan"  or him holding up the NC trophy.  Probably the trophy as Strollin might be too obscure for the young folks.

Exercise those demons and give the man his statue.

Cardio, weights, calisthenics, what?

My demons typically do need exercising and exorcising...

They could use this like they did Slobbering Hog. "If we raise this much money for NIL, we will build the statue".

[Spiderham]

Uh, totally needs to be this. The young ass kicking, everyone was scared of Nolan.

I'm afraid the curse existed before Nolan, but am sure willing to give it a shot.

Yuri will see this as money that could be better spent on some 3rd team bench warmer's NIL payment.

This will have to be raised by private funds and installed in the dead of night.

we need woopig collective rundown of all the possible sources of our suck (besides our own board of trustees, athletic director, coaches, nil collective, and boosters).

who all have we wronged? 

does petrino 2012 count?  he brought it on himself, but the punishment was worse than the crime.  however, i never underestimate a man that drops "are you fucking shitting me?" in full lipread mode on national television.

eddie - nah, he got what he earned

robken - maybe, but wasn't he diddling coeds?

hatfield - frank did tell him he had to change his assistants, and he stood up for them

jimmy johnson - at least twice

How much would a 10' bronze statue cost, ballpark?

I mean, woopig.org has a certain high-roller that could probably finance it with his Lake Hamilton money if he is REALLY as rich as he claims...

Even if it's $200,000, it's a drop in the bucket to the school's budget.  Just shut down the anthropology department and reroute those funds.

With an inscription that says "40 minutes of hell, bitches."

Looks like $200k commissioned. A few more old white guys will have to die first.

[SwahiliSteve]

Will it come with craters on the face?

obvi the statue has to be in front of the main entrance to bwa.  a sign over the doors "Welcome to 40 Minutes of Hell" would be titties.

unless we suck that particular year

If we suck we'll just have "It's Hard to Be Humble" glaring over the speakers for all the fans to hear as they enter BWA

It really goes back to 1969. Being screwed out the national championship in 1978 by Notre Dame AP voters.
I think us cussing Hatfield when he lost(in especially Arkansas fashion) to Texas in LR may be part of it. Atwood not falling on the fumble against Miami in 1985. Several times during hooties run, we had a team that was good enough to compete and Nutt derped away our chances. Petrino had a few like not scooping and scoring against Ohio State and the referees screwing us against Auburn. Then killing the program by firing him. Bert was on the cusp of success with Alabama on the ropes and Kody Walker fumbles untouched out of the end zone, the ball surrounded by Razorback players.

Most of my Razorback memories are bad.
