Four new statues to be unveiled September 2.

I haven't seen this mentioned on here and felt it deserves it's own thread. Four former players will be honored with statues prior to our home opener.

Lester McClain - First black player in program history. First black SEC player to score a touchdown.

Jackie Walker - First black SEC player to be named an All-American in football.

Condredge Holloway - First black player to start at QB in the SEC.

Tee Martin - First black quarterback to lead an SEC team to a national championship.

Yet we are racist pigs who drove Cuonzo out of here on a rail.

 

Coanzo being driven out on a rail had nothing to do with race.

 

y'all check out the volnation thread on these statues before saying that.

 

Al needs one

 

if they ever cancel Neyland, he gets the stadium name

 

If that ever happened, we'd end up with Haslam Stadium presented by Pilot Flying J.

 

First rule of statues, imho:

No statue till you are dead.
