I mean, in his defense, Knox is working outside his usual medium here.

SIAP

ATTENTION NEW ARMY: You now have a sculpture of an extremely large-breasted woman in cowboy boots and a stereotypically-Greek "**** me" skirt, immortalized in bronze for all of eternity outside of Kyle Field. The possibilities for the integration of the "T**s McGee" statue into the lore of life and tradition on campus are boundless. MAKE US PROUD.



Potd worthy, but I'm on mobile, so here is an old fashioned blue star

Creepy, poorly designed, embarrassing...

Everything about the stadium renovations thus far is absolutely amazing, except for these behemoths


Agreed. These statues makes us look like new money. I hate them.

They don't bother me. And I actually really like the 12th Man statue.

They'll grow on folks as the years go by.

Or they'll zombify and eat the dissenters lol.

Could the women in that statue be any uglier?? I sure hope the sculptor didn't have any live models for that.

If he did, he probably found them at closing time at The Chicken one weeknight, during the summer.

I'll reserve judgment until I see them in person but i tend to agree with the guy that said it might be trying too hard. We have a history of this in the traditions department.

Looks like the sculptor is a big Dave Chappelle fan. That's him 2nd from the right, right?

Maybe we can give this statue the Georgia iron horse treatment and get it moved off campus.

I can't believe we have 8 Medal of Honor awardees and we put up a statue of some dude in cargo shorts.

I can't believe they didn't immortalize the faux hawk and popped collar! Two more things that perfectly represent what it is to be a twelvth man.

They might have done better to just use legendary players' likenesses, though: Kimbrough, Gill, Manziel, JD Crow...

Take it from a EE grad... they couldn't get any Asian models because they are all at Zachary studying with our middle eastern friends.... all of them, 24-7!

Damn foreign exchange students studying harder than their American counterparts.

And then that's why they make seven-figure salaries.
