Safe Statues

It's time again for one of our favorite yearly rituals on BYU campus: the wrapping of the statues. This Saturday is the big BYU-Utah rivalry game (a.k.a. the Holy War). To prevent possible vandalism, the BYU grounds crew wraps all of the statues on campus in plastic wrap for the week leading up to the game. Brandon took pictures of some of the "makeovers" around campus:
Karl G. Maeser in front of his namesake building.

Massasoit, by the library. He's a little closer to being fully clothed now.

The family, with a joke added by a student (click to enlarge).

Grandpa Brigham.

Go Cougars!

I totally laughed out loud when I enlarged the family one. That's classic!

I like the one with the family too. I really hope no one would hurt precious art work on either campus.

P.S. The link for "family" is awesome! Loved that movie!

That is funny, love the sign on the family. Weird though, I don't remember that happening when I went to BYU, is that a new thing or did I just not pay attention?

wow that's hilarious! To think I lived there a year and a half and never knew they did that...
