I haven't seen this discussed here. Hey, if USC wants to do it, OK, but isn't it a bit premature? Want to honor her? Retire her jersey or put up a plaque or something like that.

And if they want to do a statue, shouldn't you wait a few years to see if she really does make "legend" status? And shouldn't you consider a statue to the coach before a statue to a player?

The funny thing is that in a thread on another board someone started posting pictures of sports statues at ND, and I was thinking "There's a statue of the Four Horsemen?" I guess that shows how much I've been to campus lately. I'm guessing almost all the ones they showed were in the last 10 years or so with the stadium expansion.

The statues that I remember from when I was at ND (Oh no, am I becoming one of those "Well, when I was at ND..." alumni?) were Fr. Sorin, Fr. Corby, Jesus, Moses, Mary, and Tom Dooley. There are probably one or two that I'm missing, but those were the main ones I remember.
