Personally, I think it should be outside so that you can all punch me in the nuts on your way to the arena.

In addition, when you walk your dog, you can be sure to have your dog do #1 on me.

Let us just wait 10 years, and your record will be replaced by BMC.

Did Tom Davis get a statue when he was winningest coach? I've never heard that he did. If not, no statue for Fran, either. Both coaches were (at the time of their departures) the winningest AND losingest coaches in program history.

This is another great example of bad sports cliches and terminology that become part of the vernacular but aren't really accurate. "Winningest" is obviously the coach that wins most frequently which is most accurately represented in winning percentage. You really think a coach who is 95-85 is better than a guy who's 90-10 because he has more wins?

Another great one is "Defending National Champs". There's no such thing in seasonal sports. Every season is separate and independent from every other season. Everybody starts out 0-0. Boxing has a defending champ. Every time you step into the ring you're fighting to hold on to your belt.

End of rant. For now.

Maybe someone can carve one of those chainsaw sculptures of Fran out of a dead tree somewhere around campus. That feels about right.

And it will forever be known as the McCaffertree.

Why not an ice sculpture? That way in the spring it can melt down like Fran did on the bench.

I'd rather see a statue of Tree Henry.

I like this. But the sculpture should depict Fran standing on the shoulders of Luka Garza and the Murrays.

Maybe also add an eagle/hawk sitting on his shoulder….

Bottom line, no statue for Fran, inside or outside.

I will find you and I will will....well, you know....

I'll say yes, and outside Carver,.. But we should wait until Ben achieves that goal.
