[QUOTE="redwingillini11, post: 1350209, member: 9229"] I'm not really sure I understand why some are uncomfortable with statues of legends who are still alive. Certainly in Chicago there is precedent (Michael Jordan, Billy Williams, Ernie Bank's was installed while he was still alive). I hope Mr. Butkus is ok with it, he seems a tad uneasy about the idea. But I am [I]very[/I] glad that we are looking to further honor one of the football legends who is a proud Illini. [/QUOTE]
