The University Co-op (http://www.coop-bookstore.com/) is the big school bookstore on The Drag, which is Guadalupe street, the west boundary of the campus. They also have locations selling Whorn stuff elsewhere in Austin and DFW, San Antonio and Houston.

[ATX Sooner]

That thread over there had me in tears for about the first 4 pages LMAO

[Leroy Lizard]

What about future UT legends? They're just going to keep mass producing these cookie cutter statues until an army that rivals China is upon us?

That may not turn out to be a big problem.

Another gem:


I would not put one of these things in my house it would probably come alive at night.

[SunnySooner]

Wow, just wow, this is just pure comedy gold, I'm doing that laugh where you don't even make sound, just the little wheezy noises as you try to grab some breath.

I can't believe these actually got by some committee somewhere, I mean, these were done ON PURPOSE!!! And after the first couple turned out scary/hilarious, they just kept right on making more!!!

Oh well, we have our Heisman Park, I guess they thought they needed something to one up us. Well, they failed on that but they sure did bring a lot of happiness to a lot of Sooners! Bless their hearts!!! LOL!!!!!

Bojangles O'Blackface, seen here running from racist SWC cornerbacks, is just one of the more horrific selections from a generally terrifying collection of fiberglass phantasms making up the Legend's Walk, a former parking area now devoted to making children cry and giving something for really stoned students wandering the campus late at night to be terrified of in the dark. Darrell Royal's statue looks like a Thunderbird, so we will assume that Kirk Cousins, fellow Gerry Anderson Supermarionation Model, is the bastard son of this statue. He doesn't show much emotion, son, but rest assured: he loves you.

[Mad Dog Madsen]

Are those statues plastic?

[sooner59]

Fiberglass I believe.

[Outopia]

You know, I'd expect something like this out of, say, OSU. Sure, there would be mostly statues of Golfers and 'wrasslers, but they would be expected to be lame like this. Thus, it would be somewhat (they are aggies) forgivable, when the source is considered. Texas :texan: , on the other hand, should be ashamed that this is even in the City of Austin. If this had been OU that had done this, I can not even imagine. It's mind boggling. Who gave this the go-ahead? :mack: Was there no vetting of this decision?

You know, if Holder and Baboon Pickens see these, with their propensity to copy everything in the universe (with the exception of the cattle gate), they might try to make the same mistake. They did, after all, copy the ticket policy of Iowa State, and tons of other things (except that cattle gate thingy).:stunned: :eddie: [hairGel]

What I got out of it was it was a place called the 'co-op' which is like a memorabilia place near the stadium. I'm not sure though.

Either way, :texan: is pissed.

[bluedogok]

Since they don't have the standardized university logos, lettering, etc. I doubt they were sanctioned by the University, you could sure bet they would be loaded with registered logos if the university had anything to do with them.

The Co-op is like Sooner Textbooks is/was, a separate entity and not university owned or managed.

[MeMyself&Me]

I don't normally spent much time in other fan forums (especially that one) but after seeings some of the pics here I couldn't resist. That's some funny **** and the funniest thing is that there's not reason to fark a damned thing... the truth is funny enough!

What is UFCU? Owner of the co-op? Universally Farked Cluster Union?

Im guessing they decided they needed this sign when the truck from China dropped these abominations off behind their stadium

Looks like the statues could be coming down soon.

The University Co-op Legends Park at the University Co-op is intended to honor the history and achievements of 52 Texas Longhorn greats. The Co-op has decided to pursue a different avenue to honor these Legends. To our fans who have visited and enjoyed the park, thank you so much for your support. Since the year 2000, The University Co-op ...has donated over $30 million to the University of Texas.

Where did you get the picture of that horse statue? I've been all over the UT campus numerous times and never seen that one, nor does the building in the background look like any UT building I can think of. I am suspicious.

[SunnySooner]

They need to mount 'em on our tackling sleds, ya know, just a little extra motivation.

[Leroy Lizard]

My favorite was the one in which they used Bao Xishun's head for a UT golfer. Too much fun.

And I thought UT was loaded with money. They couldn't even get a left-handed pitcher?

That's the statue in front of Horse Apple Hall.

[bluedogok]

It's not "on campus", it is behind the co-op across the street from the campus.
So it is pretty darn close, like something setup in the parking lot where the SoonerFans tailgate happens.


What is UFCU? Owner of the co-op? Universally Farked Cluster Union?
UFCU = University Federal Credit Union, formerly the UT employees credit union now open to anyone in the counties they are chartered in. They are a completely separate entity from the University Co-op, neither are directly connected to UT. UFCU is the sponsor of the UT baseball stadium.

[Leroy Lizard]

So at this point we can safely conclude that the statues represent the true artistic tastes and judgment of a typical UT fan.

Shaggy won and the statues have now officially been removed. Props to them for creating the swell of support and humor regarding the installation of those hideous statues. They may be starting a campaign to bring them back now. haha!

BTW: pages 17 & 18 of that thread take farking to a new level.

[sooner518]

they ALREADY removed them? that was fast! of course they were plastic so I guess it wouldnt really be that hard

[ATX Sooner]

Yep....gone like the wind....


Well god damn. I was over by the Co-op about 15 minutes ago. These things are completely ****ing GONE. All evidence of this abortion have been removed except for the square shaped scuff marks on the pavement where the statues used to sit.

This is a very sad day in Longhorn sports history. When do we start the campaign to bring them back?
