No I don't. Guess my eyesight is lacking. I sincerely wondered if the photo was legit. From your snarky reply, I take it that it is a fake. Feel free to delete the thread.

Thank you for the civility in the reply. Clearly a much desired trait in a moderator.

It's not fake but it's clearly staged (unless you think the 97 team was oiled up every day). The pic from this year is not and I believe the one with the worst body is a freshman.

You should expect snarky when you post "how far we've fallen" without even knowing what you're looking at

"Don't click!" "Don't click!" "Don't do it!"

I told myself that over and over before I decided not to listen to my inner voice! "Sigh" sucks that you can't UNsee what you've already seen!

My question centered around the authenticity of the picture. In other words, had it been photoshopped. I do see the staging now that you point it out, but it doesn't change the fact that the fitness level between the two is clear staging or not.

As for my comment about how far we've fallen, I did state "if the pic was legit". If it is, we have fallen off in our conditioning....beyond question. Regardless, I have my answers. Thank you for your help.

Wow that is amazing how fat we are now and how lean the Fulmer teams was. Butch talks about how strong we are may be so but a lot of that muscle is definitely covered in fat.

I would imagine.. with the top picture, everyone literally just stepped out of the weight room working with some serious poundage and doused with baby oil. You can do a lot with the looks of blubber after lifting serious weights! Let's not get carried away with this silly picture!

No, dude, it's not. Nothing is clear when you compare apples and oranges.

What many people in the thread have been trying to tell you is this: you get the right photographer and the right behind-the-scenes advisor (someone from the bodybuilding competition world, say), and they can probably make the guys in the bottom picture look just as ripped as the guys in the top picture.

Without photoshop.

It's all in the staging and prep.

Jumps up and down on the manhole cover. "Two! Two! Two!"

Roids were rampant in the 90's. It wouldn't surprise me if UT started their own 'program' after getting manhandled by Nebraska's roided team in the Orange Bowl.

You can take away the oil and lights and those '97 guys are still jacked. It's crazy.

Comparing the two pics is definitely unfair though.

They are but it looks like a small, hand picked group. I don't think anyone would deny there's a difference between the 97 team and this one but basing it on those pics is pretty ridiculous

I'll deny it, PJ. I don't think there's necessarily any difference in fitness between the two teams at all.

I'm not saying that there isn't. I'm saying there may not be. There's no proof in those two photos of a difference.

Here, check out this 4-minute video of a guy showing what I've been trying to say. He's kind of a goof, and he does use photoshop, but even without the photoshop, you'll see how different one person can look with and without prep.

I see your point. Valid and well taken. Feel free to delete.

Geeze...why do people just sit around and come up with crazy crap to get pissed about a week before the season starts? I passed over this thread several times, clicked on it for something new to read. It's hilarious, I haven't stopped laughing yet! Get behind your team!!!!
