It would have been Lance Alworth had John Vaught allowed married students.

Maybe Archie himself didn't want one. I don't know.

Actually Ole Miss made a James Meredith statue.

Would you want a statue of yourself outside your work?

I doubt Alworth would get a statue at Ole Miss like he did at Arkansas but, damn, was he electric.
Bambi! Great college and pro player.
I'm glad Vaught had the rule because I would have hated to see him on those 59-61 Ole Miss teams which were damn good.
I rib the Rebs a lot because I don't like them but LSU-Ole Miss was the best southern rivalry in the late 50s and early 60s.

And he didn't win a national championship, or even a sec championship! So why should he get a statue, or is it just another ole piss claim to greatness without actually producing anything to show for it, so they have to manufacturer something? Like the 2003 co west sec championship banner.

Archie was and is a highly underrated player. He played on a mediocre team and carried them on his back. Great player.

I wonder if Ole Miss people have gotten tired of explaining why the speed limit on campus is 18 mph yet?

He owned LSU and kept them and Tennessee from winning national titles

Archie should've won the Heisman and been the number 1 overall pick. He was elite

Most overrated player in history. If it weren’t for his sons nobody would even remember him

Archie was basically that era's Johnny Manziel. If he had modern tv blasting every game and highlight everywhere, Archie easily wins the Heisman.
