Touchdown Jesus, Loyola University, New Orleans, LA
“It’s football season and folks in New Orleans love to laugh about Loyola University’s “Touchdown Jesus” which graces the front of the school. But my father went to Tulane, which is located next door to Loyola along New Orleans’ historic St. Charles Avenue. His take on the statue was this, Jesus is throwing his arms up in resignation, saying, “Can I help it if a better university is located next door?" Funny? Sacrilegious? You be the judge.” -Cheré Dastugue Coen
