Alternative cover art for SEC media guides

Monday, July 31st, 2006

GoVolsXtra.com’s John Adams dreams up his own ideas for Media Guide cover art for each SEC school. For instance:

  • Kentucky: A picture of a football as the centerpiece with a small picture of a deflated basketball in the left-hand corner, and the SEC East basketball standings in the right corner: 1, Tennessee; 2, Florida; 3, Kentucky.

    The headline: “We’re Not A Basketball School Anymore.”

  • * * * *

  • Ole Miss: Half the cover is a picture Ole Miss fans partying in the Grove before the game. The other half is a picture of opposing fans partying in the Grove after the game.

    The headline: “It’s Only A Game.”

Nice twist on the old “we’re not an X, Y, Z school anymore,” and the Ole Miss jab is just precious.

Here’s mine for Florida:

A full body image of quarterback Chris Leak being hammered by an oversized Urban Meyer into a round hole at the 50 yard line, with shaved-off slivers of the image curling off to each of the four sides to accommodate the fit. Tim Tebow is warming up in the background.

The headline: “Round peg. Round hole.”

If you could animate the thing, he’d be springing up out of the ground like a greased jackrabbit, sort of like Michael Jackson suddenly appearing out of a cloud of smoke at Superbowl XXVII.

What are your ideas?
