Why do we see highlight reels of Billy Cannon’s punt return against OM? He won a title in 1958 which is irrelevant as are OM’s titles/dynasty from the same era.. those don’t count yet year to year we see Billy Cannon’s shitty, grainy, wouldnt make the top 10 today footage yet LSU has sort of put him on a pedestal and nobody gives a shite? So yeah maybe thats why we put a statue up because the guy similarly helped his team to a title in an era that is actually modern and relevant. Carry on.

Schools tend to make a big deal about their Heisman winners.

Billy Cannon was a Heisman-winning national champion who didn’t get a statue erected on stadium until 60 years after he played.
His legacy lived on for 6 decades before being bestowed with the honor of having a statue Ole Miss was so championship-starved and desperate for a statue of an athlete that actually won something that they put one up a guy less than 2 years he left the school
