The Torchbearer and "Zeus & Europa" are just as beloved at UT. The Torchbearer gets gametime looks becasue of its location and is more hallowed so to speak because it represents all we as a university hope to achieve. However, "Zeus & Europa" are more fun. Zues has had his testicles spray painted orange more than once and his fountain has also seen color changes.

No, it's in the Grove at Ole Miss, honoring the University Greys. As I understand it, the entire student body at the time (all males) formed a company in the Confederate army, and none survived the war.

There is a statue of John Hunt Morgan in downtown Lexington on his horse. It was historically a mare but the sculptor decided to make it a stallion to be more manly. Students used to paint its testicles blue. This should certainly be brought back.

Honestly, I have yet to check out the Shaq trophy, though I'll probably go see it at some point this tailgating season. Mike statues are in multiple locations though -- in front of his cage, in front of the football stadium, in front of the baseball stadium...

Between pig statues, porn hog has to win at Arkansas over the stretched out bronze hog. Really, maybe the Fulbright statue.

Really not a statue oriented campus.
