Coale's catch and run was a thing of beauty, but we all know how that played out. Now look at the story told by the faces of the coaches, players and fans in the stands by their gambit of emotions: shock, anticipation, exhilaration, joy, ..., and what have you.
I mentioned on the Twitter yesterday that sometimes I forget just how good Danny Coale is. That's a total bust on my part, but maybe it's a testament to the type of player Coale is. In my opinion he's our most dependable receiver. He's got that knack for always getting open when you need him to be the most and he catches everything thrown his way. It's like the bro's got a natural layer of Stickum over his hands. On Saturdays he just puts his hat on and does work. That's the type of guy you can forget about, because you never have to worry about him.

Picture
Love this picture. Cool vantage point. I'm particularly partial to the guy in the striped overalls. Not so much for his expression, but for the ultra cool attire.
i'm loving that one dude in the background who's got the TD arms thrown up already.
side game
Pick your favorite look of shock/amazement in the background. Mine is a tie between the guy in the black VT shirt next to #48 who looks very confused about what's going on and the Asian guy above him.
isn't that Stiney?
Sure looks a little like him...
Nope
Its not Stiney...its some guy from the Sports Medicine department. Stiney is either hiding behind the ball that Coale is catching or still up in the press box (when it would prob be Foster). Although I'm pretty sure that is Torian Gray to the right of the picture on the sideline.
black shirt
That's the orthopedic surgeon for Tech
you gotta love the girl's face right above Coale's left shoulder
She didn't even feel the need to stand up.
awesome
She was the first person I noticed. She looks like a little kid peaking around a corner.
Coale is great, I hope he blows up this year.
Middle Aged Lady in the Orange Shirt
She looks like she's bustin a move straight out if the 70s.
Definitely
The guy in orange shirt @megduffs talked about and the little Asian dude behind him. Priceless.
Crowd Thoughts
You beat me to the lady busting the move, Joe. I think everyone has missed out that Danny Coale is looking over his right shoulder at the girl in the maroon shirt with her arms half raised and saying "What up girl? Watch me catch this while looking at you. I will get with you later."
There is also a Where's Waldo Nebraska fan in the stands that looks none too pleased. Just like the faux Nebraska fan I played golf with at a wedding a few months ago.
Another thing I notice is that the before mentioned asian guy with glasses has binoculars. I am not positive but he is in the 2nd row which makes it seem strange. He either has awful eyes or that is a beam filled binoculars/flask.
I am afraid of clowns so the guy in the striped overalls kind of freaks me out.
Finally a girl in the top right corner looks like she is giving herself an uppercut. I hope she didn't knock herself out and miss the end of the game.
Middle Aged Lady Number Two
The one with her had on the base of her neck wearing the collared shirt.
Take my breath away...
Crowd
My favorite two people are the one person magduffs mentioned and the guy in the orange effect shirt behind him signaling td as well.
On another note...which game is this from? It's not the epic catch against Nebraska since that was along their sideline...
No, the catch was on our sideline, thats from the BraskyPants game.
another asian dude
also the asian dude peeking out behind touchdown jesus. looks like he just looked up from his PSP to see that catch.
i also like football face. so stoic.
and the dude in the white shirt and sunglasses with orange lenses. looks like he just saw boobs for the first time.
my favorite
is the heavy set guy with two thumbs up.... hands down
Several observations
Uppercut lady and guy to her right appear to be wearing red for Nebrasky. She is saying Noooooo.... Guy is not too happy.
How many players and coaches have their right foot off the ground? Is this some sort of natural reflex?
Coach sitting on bench appears to have just woken up from nap or despondency.
The best is the guy in the top left corner giving the fist pump.
