I was not expecting this kind of statue from LSU


I've never seen it, and the scenery around it is also unrecognizable to me. It doesn't even look like it's on campus.


It isn't...

If LSU faithful want to take a picture in front of the statue of Billy Cannon, the school's only Heisman Trophy winner, they have to drive off-campus to a gated apartment complex.

A few feet from a makeshift "apartment for rent" sign scrawled on notebook paper taped to a window is a small statue of Cannon and Warren Rabb. They are making a goal line tackle of Ole Miss quarterback Doug Elmore to preserve the Tigers' 7-3 victory on that unforgettable 1959 Halloween night in Tiger Stadium.
