I'll bet all excellence looks like ego to you. It's probably just easier to process that way. Loser.

I know this is difficult for you to comprehend but at Alabama there is a tradition of placing a statue of coaches who win national championships near Bryant-Denny stadium.
One of those coaches is Wallace Wade:
quote:
Wallace Wade (1892-1986) is considered one of the greatest coaches in the history of college football. He is credited with promoting southern football nationwide by building powerhouses at the University of Alabama and Duke University in North Carolina. Wade led three Alabama teams to national championships and took three Alabama teams and two Duke teams to the prestigious Rose Bowl.
Wade left Alabama for Duke. He still won three national championships at Alabama. But Alabama fans respect his accomplishments and his statue is in front of BDS.
I know this may be a very difficult concept for you and your fellow Auburn fans, but at Alabama past achievements mean something. We remember and revere our past heroes.

It is a little strange to have a statue of the sitting coach outside the stadium, IMHO. If I were in charge I would wait untill he is no longer coaching at BAMA (for whatever reason). I am not in charge though, so "to each their own".
BTW: You know if "the dump" is the pose, some LSU fan will put "a little something" under the back of that stature.

When Coach Bryant was coaching the stadium was named for him.

Like I said before, I hope they have a pose of him screaming and throwing stuff.

Bama has more statues than most other teams have trophys.

gumps think if they bronze him, he will stay foever. dont you make a statue of someone after they retire or die? not while they hold the postion, thats kinda wierd.
Yeah, like the "Huey P. Long" and "Oscar K. Allen" bridges that were built while they were still in office.
Reading this board, with all the snobbish remarks about Walmart, statues and sidewalk alumni, it seems as if Rival fans will conjure up anything they can to be indignant about with respect to Alabama.
To paraphrase and uncle of mine, "they're more indignant than Daffy Duck."
I think Auburn fans (who've been this way for years) are being a bad influence on LSU fans.
You should practice some restraint and avoid making petty criticisms.
