They really don’t like others laughing at those standards either

Joe Burrow getting a statue back in 2021, Dylan Crews getting a statue next year, or Angel Reese getting a statue next year would be absolutely strange


You can't even compare it to those players as they won significant awards.

Elko was basically Tommy White with 40 less hits, 25 less RBI, and a worse batting average.

Yeah, that really got a rise out of them when I brought up he wasn’t even a nominee for the best player in the country that season

I can almost see Ole Miss going ahead and doing something to commemorate the guy with a plaque or something if he really stood out in the sport nationally. But no, he was a 5th year senior who got hot at the right time. This is like LSU making a statue of Alexis Morris in a couple months
