So this weekend there was a much-publicized postgame fracas following No. 1 Memphis’ 79-78 win over UAB. Above is one of the greatest action shots of a postgame fracas I’ve ever seen (sorry I really like the term “postgame fracas”). We love this picture for so many reasons, we thought we’d list a few. Note: you may have to click on and open the photo to behold it in all of its glory. That’s the biggest blogger would let us make it.
-You have to love the big “We beat Mempis not our girls!” sign. This, of course, is a reference to Memphis player Robert Dozier’s recent legal difficulties. Note to UAB fans: It’s a funny sign, but in the future, you might want to do some spell checking. Either go with Memphis, or Mempiss, but not something in between.
-Continuing with the physical abuse theme, we love the girl in the front row with the “I dated Dozier” shirt and a black eye. Bravo young lady.
-Then there’s the guy on the right in an orange vest getting slapped in the face by an unidentified Memphis player.
-Middle finger count: 13
-Cell phone camera count: 4
-Flying pompom count: 5
-Attractive female count: 2
-Angry white guy count: 60 (approx.)
-Guys in collared shirts and ties: 3
-Smiles: 2
-Lime green shirts: 1
At this point we’d like to turn this into an interactive exercise. Something like a cross between “Where’s Waldo” and the back of Highlights magazine. Click on the photo to expand it and see if you can find some of the things we spotted. And if you notice anything we didn’t catch, feel free to add them in the comment section.
Here’s your checklist:
1. A Che Guevara lookalike biting his fingernails.
2. A really angry guy in a red/orange hat about to do something that will surely lead to him getting his ass kicked by a much larger man.
3. A guy in a yellow afro wig.
4. The 10 painted faces.
5. A d-bag wearing a pink shirt.
6. A cop with a “bitch please” look on her face.
7. An Asian guy who apparently finds something to his right FAR more interesting than a huge fight.
8. A guy in a suit.
9. Guy in a white shirt and a grey hat who someone tells me looks like one of the brothers from Good Charlotte. Are they even a band anymore? Because that would help explain why he was there.
10. Three examples of Bama Bangs.
You guys have fun with that. Let us know how you did.

Crap, I can’t quit this.Never found anything I was looking for, BUT above the “We beat Memphis…” sign there’s a guy with four fingers extended and his arm around what appears to be his severely mentally handicapped friend. Also we have on the far right of the picture, about 2/3 of the way up, is a guy with goatee that looks entirely too stoned to be doing anything but sitting in his dorm and playing Mario Kart.Are Cameron from Ferris Bueller and Eli Manning two of the examples of ‘bama bangs?Also, the asian in question is definitely the guy above the yellow afro wig guy. The other person people mentioned doesn’t appear to be quite as interested in looking to their right as he does, and may not be asian or even a dude.And wait, I think I just found Gueverra. Is he right above the guy with the painted on green tank top with a “Beat Memphis” shirt on? This picture is the best thing I’ve found online in years!! A true high water mark for the photography profession.

OK, to answer a few questions:Yes Che is above a guy with a painted on tank top on the left side of the photo. -The guy with the suit is on the right, right next to the guy getting slapped.-The pink shirt is directly up from the space between the two Memphis players’ heads.-There are probably more than three Bama Bangs examples, but bottom left there’s a Kyle Korver lookalike, then lime green shirt/Cameron from Ferris Bueller has some and…hell I don’t remember where the other guy I saw was. I’m sure you can find one, it’s Birmingham.

That pic is a poster for the next Jerry Springer Spiritual Revival. The esteemed black men need to go back to the projects and sell crack to each other, and the ignorant rednecks need to be confined in their trailer parks so that respectable people can watch sports for wins, losses, and stats (not criminal statistics).

Found a new one. Far right, about a third of the way down, hat on backwards, hidden behind the elbow of green-and-yellow-paint guy No. 2. It’s Jimmy Fallon’s Sully/Boston Teen character from SNL. Boy, I bet he feels “retahded” about how things getting so “wicked weird.”And as 3:23 noted, there’s Justin Timberlake right in front of Jimmy Fallon. The Barry Gibbs Talk Show is about to come on, so Fallon and Timberlake are gonna break into a Bee Gees song in hopes that music will soothe the savage UABeasts.Absolutely hilarious blog entry! I linked to it on my blog and emailed to everyone I know.Have a good one!

great pickup on King Diamond and the stoned dude playing Mario Kart. Is it just me or does the guy about to throw the pompom behind the “I dated Dozier” look a little bit dainty?

This is pretty funny stuff, but…it’s sad that people can’t figure out two things: Larry the Cable Guy/Orange-Jump-Suit-Guy was dressed like that, not because he is a typical Alabama redneck (that would mean he would be wearing crimson), but because he was simulating the prison jump suit that most of the Memphis players are accustomed to wearing.And, the “Mempis” spelling was an attempt at a slap at Mem-Piss, except, as I understand it, the security made them remove the sign that had two S’s so they made another one shortened to Mempis. Again, if it was someone at the campus west of Birmingham (where academic standards are not as high as they are at UAB), then the spelling error would have been understandable. Isn’t clarity fun?

The 2nd comment is complety uncalled for. What would you do in his situation? The guy that said that it was supposed to be spelled that way is crazy. If Dozier or anybody had of went into the stands they would have probably been suspended. What is happening to the guy that wrote the sign? Nothing. They know nothing about Doziers personal life and have no right to judge him. They know he is a great player and they tryin to get under his skin but it did not work cause Memphis own the game anyway so they got the last laugh. They guy that got slapped got what he deserved. Niles didn’t slap him for nothin. Something was provoked. What happen to that country boy that provoked it? Probably nothing. That is not right. Players should have the right to defend themselves. Why is the fans the ones being protected? The players should be. Memphis played USM on March 1 in Hattiesburg Mississippi. I think Carter Blackburn on CSTV said their was only one officer on the floor when both teams had an altercation before the game. We need better security at games to keep unruly fans in line. Now unlike the racist who posted the 2nd comment i will leave my name. Brad Craft. If you got a problem with anything I had said feel free to email me at Craft_Brad@yahoo.com. He is a coward like all racists
