This Bama/UT game photo is interesting. Whoever took it should be up for a Pulitzer...

Love the look of the Bama fan with his hands up as he's being given the bird.

The UT fan in the back with the thumbs up adds a lot to the pic.

Love the Bama fan in the upper right corner giving the salute back.

But my biggest question: How did that housewife from the 1970's under the Bama fan's extended left arm get in this pic?

Was she photoshopped in?

Or is this time travel caught in a photo?

This is the best photo of any TSIO moment I've seen



Wasn't just a great moment, whoever/whatever took this photo I want to know what camera was used. The colors look sharp and very high def especially since it was 09 which is weird to say is almost 15 years ago.

It's great, but I see no sci-fi twist in it, which puts the other over the top.

I'm not 100 percent sure but I think the Bama Bird is real. I absolutely love that photo because there's so much going on in it. So many different reactions - it's just great.

Not even close. If you like action shots like that there are far better TSIO photos. That's just a BAMA troll pic. It's a decent photo with good composition but there are better TSIO pics in that style.

Your pic is the Bama version of this:



Or this:




If you like composition that includes lots of players and/or action there are better photos. Things like this:



And this:


And even better ones than those when you start looking, especially older photos. The photography from some of the really old games was much better (probably because it was far more difficult so it required skill). Today sports photographers take a 1oo photos of a scene and an editor picks one out.

The one in OP is pretty good. A lot going on.

How ‘bout the “bird of the unknown person” on the right. Presumably a Gump.

I mean, we all knew it was a blowout. But yeah, I remember that it was a meaningless TD. I didn't post it as a swipe at Bama or UT. Just an excellent photo.

Oh yeah, no worries.

I didn’t think so at all, just adding content.


ETA: meant to say adding “context,” not “content” lol

Dude on the phone in the back looks very confused by the game of football.

Internet not really that slow that you are just now seeing this is it? Hopefully you are digging deep for material.

It’s real and was thoroughly discussed when it happened. Rashaan Gaulden was the player and was later drafted by the Panthers. He bounced around a bit and is currently in the CFL attempting to get back in the league.

One of your own posted on your board recently, Smuckey. That's how I saw it.

Your pic is the Bama version of this:
This is an absolutely abysmal opinion.

Everything about the block photo is perfect. Troll pic? Wtf are you even talking about?

Game was won by 3 and Alabama blocked 2 FG, one at the last second. The symmetry and lines leading the viewer towards the middle of the photo to where the action will be is amazing. It’s a perfect action shot with one of the best football players in Alabama history(and probably an NFL HoFer..?) at the center doing something super human.

Are you ok?

ETA: I can’t get over how terrible your take is

For the 1st time? 6 years later?

And what board is my board? I think I have 10 posts on Volnation this year and feel that is 8 too many.

I posted it in the horns down thread because I see it as a great example of how you do a rivalry. Not a soul is pussing out in that photo and yet it's a photo that makes CFB great, imo. Everyone is having a ball. Even the angry ones are having fun.

It's why CFB is so good, imo.

Why did Saban have Tua in throwing 60 yard bombs to Ruggs in the 4th quarter? Was there bad blood between Pruitt and Saban I don’t remember?
