Mount Rushmore

[Cam]

I took this from a local sports radio debate:

If Texas was mostly a mountainous terrain, and your town had to carve out a Mount Rushmore style monument depicting your towns sports heroes. What four deserving players or coaches faces would you use? Being fairly new to Burnet, I can only think of two individuals that might be deserving of that honor. They would be:

Jordan Shipley
Stephen McGee

after that, I'll need help from some of you lifers or oldtimers.....

What about for pro teams? For Dallas I came up with:

Tom Landry
Bob Lilly
Roger Staubach
Emmitt Smith

I'm sure this one is debatable

She reached the climax before she could get the gear on.

To answer the original question

Sweeny - I could see Coaches Ed Waggoner (66 State Champs), Ebbie Neptune, Kenneth Dabbs and Bob Pyssen

Dabbs started the football program @ Austin Westlake after Sweeny and Neptune came to Westlake years later after Dabbs requested him.

Players IDK what four I would put.

James Borglum graduated from Goliad High School in 1971, I believe. It was either his great grandfather, or his great-great grandfather who was in charge of sculpting the Mount Rushmore project. I wonder if he took up his family's trade??? Maybe we have a Borglum right here in Texas somewhere that could conscript a Texas monument like his predecessor did. Little known facts of a Texas connection......brought to you by regaleagle.

Interesting. Yes, for sure, Texas deserves and needs it`s own "Mt Rushmore" style monument. Many people to consider for a place on this monument.

Cam, Bobcat, Farmerfan, Gsqd, .... Could go on forever.

But seriously, many Texans in all fields could find a place.
