Falcon Statue is on the road

With a little time to sit and think, I wanted to catch everyone up on the travels of the simply fantastic Falcon statue that will sit in front of the new Stroh Center.

First of all, it is spectacular.  It is 24' across, and I believe really captures the grace and power of the bird that our team is named for.  Take a look...

The BG Athletics Blog is tracking the statue as it travels across country in a flat-bed truck.  Currently, the bird is in Wyoming.  (You can track the BG Athletics Blog in the sidebar on the left under BG Blogs).

Along the way, some of the photos sort of end up being like that Travel Gnome on TV....for example, here's the Falcon at a motel.

The artist is named Jon Hair, and he was interviewed on AZZ.com....check it out for an interesting portrait of a guy who has done some pretty cool things, artistic-wise.
