(Starkville, MISS.) – The Mississippi State Bulldogs announced on Friday that they would commemorate the ending of the 2019 Egg Bowl with a statue of Elijah Moore that will adorn the lawn outside of Davis Wade Stadium.
“The real irony is that as a member of the Ole Miss team, [Moore] pretended to be a dog, and really held his shoulders like a Bulldog,” Mississippi State Director of Athletics John Cohen said. “Great Bulldogs stick together and give each other props. That’s why we’re doing this statue. We see you, Elijah.”
Moore responded by saying he wouldn’t be intimidated with regard to what celebrations he chose to do.
“They can’t shut me down. I might go piss on every field across the SEC,” Moore said while dressed like Deon Sanders. “I might go to that blue field and see if a yellow puddle turns green.”
Cohen said the statue would go up in time for kickoff of the 2020 season.
