Finally got to see these today. They’re quite impressive. And at a reported $100,000, they better be.
(A statue of a living person is unfortunate, but we’ve already crossed that bridge.)
The unveiling, last weekend, with Pat Sullivan, Bo Jackson and Cam Newton all in attendance:
Wish they’d used an Auburn sculptor — remember what Shug said — but the Ken Bjorge from Montana did fine work. (Here he is working on the Heisman bust which is a bit of disembodied creepiness.)
Maybe the best part is the strategic positioning, with the official Heisman portrait of each man looking over the statue. Nice touch.
