Define permanent?

[Oxbow6]

Embarrassing. Might as well put a Thunder the Bleacher Creature statue next to it.

It could always be worse.

Picture a statue, if you will, of a Sundog.

Which is "better" ?

[WiSioux]

The arms and wings creeps me out.  Is it a statue of a person dressed as or mascot or a statue of our mascot?

It's a statue on campus.  Prayers for all of you who will never walk by it in your lifetime

I think you're making fun of us who think this statue is horrendous, but I am not sure. Sarcasm font? 

In all seriousness, of course this silly statue won't affect me, nor my love for my alma mater one iota, but that doesn't mean it's not a horrendous statue lol.

It doesn't bother me. I was never a Fighting Hawk as a student but every student on campus is. The football team has embraced the name let them enjoy their time as a hawk. What value is there to make the current players have to choose a side?

Choose a side for what? Our name is our name - period. You may have not been speaking directly about/to me, but I am only commenting on how ugly AF that statute is. It's not good.

If alumni are accosting players and students for wearing Fighting Hawks attire (which has been shared here) that is making them choose a side. If people here are alluding to vandalizing a statue of the current mascot that is making players choose a side. Sioux forever in my heart but accosting current students and student athletes for supporting what was handed to them is making them take sides. I'm not going to be angry about this for the rest of my life - I'm going to enjoy the game(s).

Yay the hockey program acting like a bunch of spoiled losers because someone moved their cheese. Hockey players and coaches are known for seeing the big picture.

And again, I was only commenting on how ugly that effin' statue is. I think you're overthinking this thread here, friend.

Have a beer. It's Friday.
