First I've heard too. Listened when he was on JOX the other day and the only real mention of the IB was that he would be there but couldn't make the SECCG because he was shooting a commercial that day. Seems he or the hosts would have mentioned it.

Bo Jackson announced this at halftime of the Auburn/Arkansas game last year.

Chuck

He might throw assholes through windows and love his touch of gambling and drinking a tad more than is good for him occasionally, but at least he ain't a federal felon.

Will the statue be fat Charles or skinny Charles?

Am I alone in thinking the FB statues look like complete shite? What a missed opportunity.

Charles is already a goofy looking guy. Not much margin of error before the statue is a disaster

I think they look fine. I understand what you are saying though - it's that artist's "style"

Yeah, I like the fact that the football statues are just close enough to be near life-like (though obviously larger), but also just unique enough not to be a cookie-cutter body mold.
