I can't be totally accurate about this, but it is my understanding that there were if not one but a few Perunas buried under that monument when Ownby existed. I believe they did something with the bones when they tore Ownby down. Anyone know anything more?

There were a few buried there when Ownby was in existence. I am not sure what happened to all of the remains, but I am 100% certain that there is one, and only one, set of remains that is under the statue at Ford Stadium. Those are the remains of Peruna VI who served us proudly during the Pony Express years.

Also, the remains of Peruna VII who led us from the post-DP years through 1997 and died in 2002 are next to the statue.

that's the monument my son and I walked by as the game ended last week. As we paused to take his picture next to it, a woman apologized for having sat her empty coke cup on it. I think they should rope it off, personally.

Imagine if you set a coke on Revilles grave outside of Kyle Field!
