I nominate the statue be one of our current coach and visionary, Bob Richey. Of course, it should be part of a larger financial package so we could become the Gonzaga or even St. Mary’s of the South.
$40 million (30 mil down and 10 mil to go)(Timmons Renovation)
Indeed
Give coach Richey anything and everything he wants!

He didn’t start in tonights home loss to Vandy. Played only 16 minutes, had 2 points and 1 rebound, Was 1-7 shooting. I guess you can say he is big bust for SC.

Both but imagine Jackson got more at least for the one year he will be there. 99% chance he transfers since NBA is off the table.
How sure are you that Richey is still going to be our coach 2 to 3 months from now? If and when he leaves for more money than Furman can pay, would we still be creating and erecting a statue of him? Yes, he deserves a lot for what he has done and will do over he next 4-5 weeks, but I would think he’d need to at least get us to a Final Four or at least hang around for another 3+ years before there would be a statue.FU Hoopla wrote: ↑Tue Feb 14, 2023 10:46 am

I think all that is pretty much implied
Affirm, pretty sure the CBR statue thingy was tongue in cheek. Won’t be a statue but if there is there is only one choice: Frank Selvy.
I nominated CRB for a statue and i am serious as h…. I love Frank Selvy but he already has a court named after him. We have the think about the future not the past. CBR has a somewhat nice but modest home in G-town. I would like for FU to move him into the Daniel Mansion currently occupied by ED. We have got to be big thinkers. CBR and FU is a match made in heaven. Lets do whatever to keep this union together. Go DINS. Beat Citadel! Run up the score and move up in Kenpom. BTW, my second suggest for the statue is that guy who donated 10 million for the rehab of Timmons. If JD, Erin or whoever is involved played it right that might be able to finagle another $10 million or more from him. We then could include his wife in the statue complex. You never know until you ask…. Or as the good book says, “you have not because you ask not.” FU forever.

The statue should be of Herman Sims.

Selvy on one side of the Plaza and Richey on the other (after Richey commits to taking FU to the 'big time')

Herman Sims can tell his grandchildren that he played in the same basketball game as Michael Jordan and I think he even had to guard Jordan at times during the North-South Doubleheader.
To start, just a regular old statue will do.After CBR wins a Natty, then he gets a statueFuonetime wrote: ↑Wed Feb 15, 2023 12:16 pmI nominated CRB for a statue and i am serious as h….

I love the fact that we have both an on campus (soon to be very nice) smaller venue, plus a larger downtown venue option, such a world of possibilities open in the future!

Nice. New Timmons isnt going to set records with seating capacity. It needs to stand out as a destination place with creature comforts. And not just for Bball games. What can standout? Lighting, sound system, private seating, appearance, court video projection, gathering place, etc. Most importantly it should "look" like a bball arean and have great TV presence
