Default Mount Rushmore...

I have been watching ESPN and they have this special on "your state's Mount Rushmore". Voters get online and vote on athletes from their home state and at the end the top 4 athletes are placed as the "Mount Rushmore" representatives of that state. Then each state competes against each other to see what state is the best.

I thought we could apply this EFL...

I saw in one tweak magazing that there had been a Mount Rushmore for Ambassadors of the hobby. I believe it was Doc Smeby, Dirk Thomas, Reg. Rutledge and Duane Jennings if I'm not mistaking. Someone correct me if I'm wrong.

However, I'd like to see a Mount Rushmore for EFL Painters, for EFL Coaches and for EFL Inventors. I'm sure there is other topic out there as well so feel free to chime in. However, can you imagine EFL mount Rushmore for modern day Coaches to include Adrian Baxter, Norbet Rebels, Mike Robertson and DC (the Kid). Or for the older generation to include Mark Klingbeil, Vince Peatros, Dirk Thomas, Edgar Downs? This would be good to compare generations as the NBA does the Dream Team versus the Redeem Team.

What about a mount rushmore for the 4 major tournaments. Can you imagine Reg. Rutledge (CBSMF & Shootout), Don Smith (SWB), George Diamond (Buzzball), & Mike Landsman (Miggle)

What about a Mount Rushmore for base tweakers...This is a good one. Jim Davis, Norbert Rebels, Vince Peatros and Geno Hendricks.

What do you guys think? What are some of your ideas? When I thought of this post I thought of Mantaray Dre. I said to myself, "I haven't spoken to my good buddy in a while but this sounds just like a post that he would ask people to write on." So I'm posting this in his honor.

the rushmore on the tweak was mike landsman, george diamond, dirk thomas and reggie rutledge. doc smeby's name was on a banner hanging from a plane, and lee payne's name was associated with the fab five figures.
i tried stylizing the drawing to have the appearance of sculpted rock (much like mt rushmore) while keeping the likeness of each individual intact. i was happy with it for the most part, but i did kind of blow it on a couple of facial proportions. oh well, lesson learned, better luck next time.

it would be kind of cool seeing some of these other rushmore setups.

Oooh...come on "Norbet" (mispelled the first name too)...don't be so hard on the guy!

Don't feel bad Mike...no one can spell "Culp" either. My name has been mispelled so many times, that my mail man has given up on us...

I think Norbert should change his name to Norbie 1 Kenobi, Leader of the REBEL Alliance
