I think if someone does not agree with the statue memorial idea then logically - don't read this memorial for Diesel thread. That's pretty simple isn't it? Yes - I am speaking to you DogPound North and Huskiealumnus03. If the idea is not for you - stay off the thread. Makes sense, doesn't it? :-)

It is perfectly fine if this idea does not interest you - maybe it's not for everyone. BUT - there are those of us who ARE wanting to pursue this and regardless of your disagreeing we intend to move forward & try to get this done.

I also personally think that NIU will NEVER take the pigdog down no matter how hideous that thing is. Big bucks was spent on that so no way will they melt it down & put a Diesel statue there. No point in even discussing that as an option.

Thank you to all who are still interested & willing to help us. Please know that we intend to keep going with the idea.

The thread is about a memorial to diesel not, a statue to diesel. There are other ways to have a memorial. Just expressing an alternate opinion. Raising money in the name of Diesel towards benefitting Our living athletes > dog statue. Be an adult an accept differing opinions please.
