OU just announced it's unveiling a Baker Mayfield statue at its Spring Game this April. WTF is A&M doing that is taking so long to do the same for JFF?! It's been 10yrs since his Heisman. It's time to recognize the man for what he did.

Johnny isn't perfect. Nobody is. But he should absolutely have a statue on campus for what he accomplished. He took our program to new heights. They guy was seriously one of the greatest college football quarterbacks of all time (in the two years he played).

if JDC can wait, JFF can wait.

Absolutely agreed. When Johnny was on the field, we never worried about 3rd downs. We knew it would be converted.

As long as TAMU hires a new statue designer. That 12th Man zombie statue is hideously bad.
Let's go, Brandon!

would probably be wise to wait until Johnny is 40 at least.

maybe 50

We need statues of Johnny Manziel, D X Bible and Homer Norton, and they need to be placed on the north plaza of Kyle Field

we also need monuments to all of the All American players, and special recognition to Joe Routt for his athletic and military service.

We have so many great players who need to be recognized in some significant way

House that Johnny built.

I'm all for a Soviet sized JFF statue in Spence park next to the lazy river.

Yeah, let's turn the football stadium into a medieval cathedral!

I guess if a former Yell Boy can get a statue of himself put up outside the stadium, why not go for the gusto?

I'd like to see a life-sized statue of Billy Pickard on his golf cart yelling at some student worker over his walkie talkie.

Just have the new Spence Park have a area for statutes of all Heisman winners. Start building for the two but leave room for many many more

Johnny should probably get his statue on Northgate. Put an ATM inside it that sprays out your money in singles.

As a catholic, I'd like to offer some advice:

Don't build statues of someone until they've died.

... and maybe a century has passed, just to make sure we suss out all the bad things first.

Alabama has a plaza with statues of their national championship coaches; 2 of them coached at A&M

Edwin J. Kyle built the house; Johnny just renovated it...

Some Karen would probably try to take it down or trash it.

A generous BMA has to sponsor this. Not sure if Johnny's NFL meltdown deserves highlighting from a recruitment standpoint.

Need a huge statue of him in a flamingo float as a fountain feature in the "lazy river" addition in the new Spence rebuild.

He won a Cotton Bowl and went 8-4 his sophomore year. Meh

I had the same thought. Wait 25 years to make sure he doesn't do something abhorrent. Go ahead and put it on the schedule for 2050 though so he's forced not to die doing something stupid if he wants to see his statue go up.

My one request for the statue is that he be looking up to the sky, doing the money hands

This is a troll, right? I hope it is, but if not... He had the most electric season of any player in my lifetime, and debatably ever. The only one I've seen come close was Joe Bu, and if all he had done was win a major bowl game that wasn't a natty, he wouldn't even come close

Possible models for statue. #3 must include both.

I found the perfect spot. We just need to melt this one down and make a new statue.

So tired of hearing the BS "the house that Johnny built". Shows complete ignorance of how long-term capital campaigns and planning takes.
