PrintSince we have a slow period I thought this would be the perfect time to put together a list of the Top 5 photos used on BSD. If you are a regular here, you will have seen these photos many times. So without further ado
Number 1 - Pitt Homecoming Yellow Out
Number 2 - The Legend of Brandon Ware
Number 3 -Any photo of BSD icon Graham Zug
Number 4 - Stephen Obeng-Agyapong's happiness
Number 5 - Is a sequence of events that we will flash from now until...well for a very long time.
And for a bonus, our fearless leader

This photo
is blown up, framed, and hanging on my wall. Last year I was able to track down the photographer and he made a print for me. If anyone’s interested: http://www.studiosublimation.com/landing.htm
you know I forget really
google image search probably, one bored lunch break. This one was from the same site.
I don’t change the names of the images so I bet you could still find it by searching the image file name.

Guys
Could we please not plaster my picture all over the place in here? It’s funny once or twice, but I try to keep blog life seperate from personal life. If a certain employer found out a certain employee was running a blog, said employee would have a lot of explainin’ to do.
Thanks.

lol, well I imagine they're more likely to find out through a text search
than spying a random photo online and tracing it to the blog
FYI, googling your name results in a page 1 hit of a website that lists you having 1 blog, namely bsd ;-) Though I suppose you are right, they could always think it is some other guy with your name :-P

Privacy is kind of a bitch on the Internet
But you just gave me a fun Sunday morning project idea. I wrote a small script that finds every BSD page that contains a link to a particular image, matching by image content rather than file name. I’m running it now, I’ll let you know if it pans out.
3 hits as of Sunday for that pic

Tangentially, BSD has generated about 1.1 GB of HTML content since it began. Even if you stripped the tags, that is an enormous amount of text.

That 4th and 15
should get more references. After the Dark Years and the way that game had gone, I don’t know if anyone could say they expected the team to convert that.

I never
understood why Joe didn’t go for 2 after Derrick’s TD. the difference between 4 and 5 points with a minute left is nothing. If for some reason we gave up a TD return you still have a chance to block the PAT.

with standing in front of the front row the entire game. I doubt their tickets are all in the front row together

I want to know
how skanky the insides of those masks are at the end of the game
"The sea was angry that day, my friends." G. Costanza
What I don't get
is how these guys score front row seats to EVERY game. Not only the home games. They manage to get front row seats to all the away games too. They’ve definitely got connections.
When we played Temple at the Link, they were up partying in a club box at halftime and back in their front row seats by kickoff.

Sponsorshps
I’ve noticed that they have a Hertz sticker on the front of the helmets now. I think that Hertz is funding their seats.
Live your life. Have fun. Do what you gotta do.
The masks
When I was in HS, our marching band went to the (1986?) Fiesta Bowl to see Michigan vs. Nebraska. I have a picture of a girl in our band wearing that exact mask (same ugly face, Hertz logo) except it was a Nebraska helmet. I have no clue where she got the thing (I might have known then, but that was 20+ years ago), but I always assumed it was some Hertz sponsorship giveaway from the game. I’ve actually searched high and low on the internets to try to find one of these with no luck.
"The sea was angry that day, my friends." G. Costanza
Well it helps that they're there at every game
Literally pretty much every away game or bowl game they’re there. I remember getting a picture with them with my dad at the Outback bowl a in 06

In case some can’t make it, I find it hard to believe the same handful of guys have been doing this without some outside help
"They ain't got the tradition to hold our nuts." - Deon Butler
I'm prety sure it is the same guys...
I have seen them without their masks on a few times throughout the past four years and every time it’s the same guys. I sat next to them at the Rose Bowl and they said they have been doing it since they went to Penn State in the 1980’s. How they get hooked up with sweet tickets every game….no idea.
Three brothers...
At least one doctor. And yes, they have “people” in the ticket office…

Is there a picture of
Michael Robinson running over the Illinois D-back and ending his football career? I always liked watching that highlight on the propaganda videos.
Might have better luck
searching M-Rob vs Minnesota d-back. It was my second favorite play of that season, behind the fumble. great statement about his athletic ability and desire, too bad for the gopher though that part was unfortunate.
"Even though it was bouncing, I knew it was so soft that it was just going to stay in," Battle said. "Then I ran around like a lunatic."
For that game
I love the MRob hit but the fallout was bad.
Instead for that game I go with Poz’s nasty goalline stop.
http://vids.myspace.com/index.cfm?fuseaction=vids.individual&videoid=951292549
Good call on that one.
Many good plays that season for sure.
"Even though it was bouncing, I knew it was so soft that it was just going to stay in," Battle said. "Then I ran around like a lunatic."
first comment on that clip "unfortunately it ended that safety’s career, and ability to use his right arm. It severed a main nerve in his shoulder. Robinson consequently had the video removed from that year’s highlight real when he found out. "
I never heard that – does anyone know if that is true?
It definitely ended that guys career.
I don’t know about the ability to move the right arm though. Its a possibility, but I’m just not certain. Also, yes it was removed from the pregame highlight clips once the severity of the guys injury was widely known, by who I’m also not sure.
"Even though it was bouncing, I knew it was so soft that it was just going to stay in," Battle said. "Then I ran around like a lunatic."
Brandon Owens was the safety
http://www.startribune.com/sports/gophers/11688951.html
definitely ended his career, and supposedly he still has issues using his right arm for “daily functions”
