Since the grand ole lady is about to come down, somebody convince me his name should be there. Has there been any effort to reconcile? Discuss.

Doesn't really matter what anyone's opinion is. It's staying. Short of John wanting to really piss off a lot of people.
Hail no!!!
Yes Polk's name should stay on the stadium. And from what I have heard MSU has attempted to reconcile. The ball is in Polk's court on that. Not holding my breath on that changing.
If anything- Larry Templeton's name needs to be removed from whatever building his name is on in my opinion.
It was his poor decision to bring Polk back in the first place and try to ruin MSU baseball. If that doesn't happen- the shitshow of 2007-2009 doesn't happen.
Why would you put someone's name on a Stadium that never won a National Championship?
He did do a lot of good things for MSU baseball. Most of them before 1998. My question is why you would bring back someone that has their name on the stadium that obviously devoted a lot of his time to things other than the baseball program?Quote:

No. Why is this a question? It's a different stadium. Complete rebuild.
Looks like people forgot what he did upon Cohen's hire. It was inexcusable and he has yet to apologize.
He needs to grow a pair of balls, man up and do so publicly.
If Cannizzaro wins the National Championship this year put his name on it...
Maybe we should just put Rosebowl on it and be done.
**** No
A statue of Rosebowl would be an interesting conversation piece.....we could put it at the NE corner of DW where the visiting teams get off the bus...Quote:

I don't particularly like the guy for the way he left, but he is the reason baseball is what it is here instead of being like football or basketball.Quote:

Ron Polk played a big part, but he also caused problems that should not happened. Thank the Ninja!
