I actually agree that the new statue is ridiculous. I loved Elko and respect the hell out of everything he did, but it’s quite embarrassing. Maybe he makes it big in the next couple of years and it could be warranted, but good lord it makes Ole Miss baseball look very small time/never been there before. As bad as Ole Miss has been in baseball last year and this year looks even worse, the only person that deserved a statue is Bianco and not until after he retires. I think he should step down after the season personally because I don’t want to see a national champion forced out, but I will also acknowledge that he completely changed Ole Miss baseball.

We literally had never been there
What a dumb take

frick Bianco. This year and last year shows he never deserved a statue for the work the kids put together in ‘22.
Another wrinkle here: it’s actually inside the ballpark. It’s not out on campus or even outside the stadium.

Nailed it, Ole Miss fan. Glad to know one of you is out there with the same take.
Quickly creating a statue only 18 months after winning the whole thing reeks of desperation to put a statue up. And to your point, imagine being part of that championship winning Ole Miss team and seeing your school choose simply one one of your teammates to be immortalized with a damn statue simply bc he was playing the best at the time.
And also to your point, the timing is hilariously bad with Ole Miss baseball being really bad right now. This board would’ve laughed its off at LSU putting up a Joe Burrow statue in the midst of the 5-5 2020 season, but even then that would’ve made more sense in that Joe Burrow was the best player in the whole sport that season and one of the best to ever play the sport. Elko was not, albeit being very good at the time.
