The "Un"naturally Large...

The “Un”naturally large…LLAMA!

Just kidding...

ANYWAY...as an athlete I can really appreciate the bronze statue outside of our very own Kenan Stadium, The Ram. It's quite an agile animal and should absolutely stand for our sports endeavors. It is specifically located at the entrance to the Frank H. Football Center and was unveiled in 2002. It is officially one ton of pure bronze and the largest ram sculpture in the world.

Let me rephrase…ITS HUGE!

It was conceived by the one, the only, KENT ULLBERG, who has over 30 monuments of wildlife on four continents. I think this on its own is perfectly good justification to attend UNC. I want a gigantic bronze animal on my campus…

Furthermore, it’s nice to know that we have a Ram on our campus, because as it is our mascot – it would kind of be silly if we didn’t. The statue was donated by Irwin Belk and some of his family of alums. He was quoted in the DTH to have said the statue would “still be here” in 2000 years!

Shame we won’t be there to see it… because that is a serious proclamation.

One thing I do know that, is that it will be here if you come to visit our lovely campus, or if you come to school here!

Thanks, hope to see you soon!
