Agreed with everything you said and he made them relevant, again. But...a statue for that? It's not like Bill Snyder in his remaking of KState. Absolutely no one gave a shit about KSU before Snyder.

OSU won a NC in the 40s with Lookabaugh. I don't believe OSU has anything to honor him. It'd be pretty stupid to give Gundy a statue for 1 Conf Championship and forget the guy who gave them a NC.

National Championships awarded 71 years later aren't really National Championships.

A statue for winning the B12 once? That's an awful low bar to be given a statue. But it is OSU. Maybe that's the highest mountain they'll ever climb.

Gundy would have to pay for it!

The bagman game was so much easier and cheaper in the 80's. We're not gonna see Thurman Thomas or Hart Lee Dykes around Stillwater for the foreseeable future. They've gotta develop 3-stars like they've been doing or find late bloomers, diamonds in the rough types from FCS and lower programs.

IMO, it's gonna take a high-energy young guy. Gundy was great for OSU, but he lost his edge the past couple of years. This NIL era apparently soured him on recruiting. 

When OU and Texas left the conference without OSU and the portal NIL stuff opened up, Gundy knew he/they were screwed….he didn’t embrace it, he wilted.

Again, the statue won't represent achievement as much as it will be a symbolic gesture & reminder of their halcyon days. A decade from now they'll use it as part of a fundraising drive. There will be plenty of former students from those days that will fondly remember winning seasons & bowl game upsets (beating Andrew Luck's Stanford team has to be a highlight) that the admin will be keen to get on board.
