UW gives its blessing for creation of Don James statue

DerekJohnson

A group of former Husky players, led by Jimmy Rodgers and Mike Ewaliko, met with administrators from the UW earlier this week and received blessing for a project to build a statue of the late Don James for Husky Stadium. Former player Matt Hicks will be the one creating the actual statue. Carol James has given her blessing.

It stands to reason the statue will be placed near the existing one of Jim Owens, but that hasn't been determined yet. A fundraising event will begin during Spring ball.

They've given their blessing for the creation of a statue. That doesn't mean they'll actually put it up. Some of you need to learn the difference.

Glad to hear this is moving along but it's UW. I'll believe it when I see it.

How are plans for the Sark statue in the Joey's bathroom coming along?

Of course they would put up a statue of another white guy.

While we're putting up statues for great runs at Husky Stadium, we should put up both an Oregon and ASU logo.

Do you know how much shit I am going to have to steal to donate to this statue AND keep this shithole running?

Look for me in the Winchester, VA jail. Fuck.

We haven't beat ASU at home in 16 years but I think we've played them about 3 times at home since then.

Maybe the DJ statue can be giving the finger towards Gerberding Hall.

Not being able to beat STDU doesn't mean the program isn't still trending up.
