Step Three - Take a photo of your Beat Bama shirt
Step Four - #BEATBAMA
I'll get us started.

Ugh I wish this would have happened last year. I could have walked over and put it on the Paterno statue.
I'll #BeatBama when I'm in Vegas.
you live in Vegas? Im stationed out here and have only met like 3 Hokie fans out this way.
Nah, but I'm going out there a week before the Bama game with some friends.
We shall go on to the end. We shall #BEATBAMA in France, we shall #BEATBAMA on the seas and oceans, we shall #BEATBAMA with growing confidence and growing strength in the air, we shall defend our end zone, whatever the cost may be. We shall #BEATBAMA on the beaches, we shall #BEATBAMA on the ground, we shall #BEATBAMA on the field and in the streets, we shall #BEATBAMA in the hills; we shall never surrender.
Now someone photoshop a #BEATBAMA shirt onto a picture of Churchill for me.
Huzzah good sir. 50 cocktails to you!
This is incredibly well done. For some reason, when I mouse over the up arrow here, I don't get the cursor converted to a finger. I may have upvoted this four or five times already, or I can't upvote it at all. First time I've seen this happen, as I've upvoted many things.
I'm pretty decent at doing realistic photo manipulation so if you guys need something done ever, I can hook it up.
The colored shirt on the black-and-white photo is a nice touch. Artistic like the red coat in schlindler's list.
Someone needs to get one on TJ in front of the Rotunda at #LOLUVA
Where is Charlottesville Hokie? This should be an assignment. If anyone can come up with a place they want to see this from State College, PA, let me know. I'd love to see this thread become a collection of #BeatBama scenes from every campus we can get to.
I'll see what I can do.
Now is a good time, if we can get someone down to the Rotunda....it's alumni weekend on the lawn (or as I refer to it CAMPUS).
I'm actually traveling to Alabama for work two separate weeks this summer, actually both pretty close to Tuscaloosa. Unfortunately, I wouldn't be able to get a shirt in time. But I was thinking about just saying BEATBAMA to everyone when ending conversation, even if they don't start with "Roll Tide".
Joe get this guy a shirt!!
When do you need it for?
I leave next Sunday (16th) for the first week and then July 14th for the next one. I live in Arlington.
A photo of a #BB shirt on the Saban statue would pretty much win the internet.
There's gotta be a statue of Bear Bryant somewhere near the football stadium. That should be the primary target!
It appears that Saban's statue is cartoonishly large. Be sure to order an XXXXXXL shirt.
I had no idea Saban already had a statue there.
If you win a national championship, you get a statue at Bama.
Even fake ones... http://spittingfire.wordpress.com/2008/01/13/alabamas-12-national-champi...
I love this, everything about it. Roll Damn Tide!
Nope, Saban is just three apples tall.
Couldn't resist
If you order, you'll definitely have one by then, even if I have to hand deliver it.
Deal. No promises I'll be able to make it to the campus because of the tight work schedule but I will do my best to caputure what I can at various spots.
If you get it on Saban's statue I'd lobby TKP staff to go into the tally and add 1000 turkey legs for you.
It might take me a minute to figure out, but I'm pretty sure I can make it happen.
I second Horse's motion. Anyone that pulls off a feat like that instantly becomes a Hokie Hero, worthy of at least 1000 turkey legs.
It's risky business doing anything around those statues, especially by myself and if I ask someone to take a picture with me in it haha. I've seen their fans' work with trees...
Sooooo, it appears I might be able to pull off actually hoteling in Tuscaloosa. One will do his best.
If it isn't easy on the server side, I think I could probably automate something using WATIR. Assuming any random user (me) can upvote something 1000 times, and assuming the upvote on a comment is a uniquely identifiable element. We can cross this bridge if and when we come to it.
Anonymous users can't vote, registered users can't vote more than once. Also, a thousand requests like that would play hell with the server and the MySQL backend. I can figure out how to do it, but thank you anyways.
No sweat. I work in software QA if it ever becomes necessary.
my friends did it last year to the UVA thomas jefferson statue they had to cut it in half
We need DavidWilsonsWhip/ SparachNSniff to roadtrip to Tuscaloosa and get a picture on Bama's campus
decided to do this
as much as i like the shirt, probably better without it. +1 regardless
This is spectacular. You guys are killer with whatever program you're using for these. Churchill and Webb are done incredibly well. Makes my HopkinsBearPig look like amateur hour.
First she wears the shirt and then she wears Exum...poor AJ, all he'll be left with is an 0-1 record and a busted looking "playmate"
I wish my shirt would have arrived before I left for Germany for the summer...
Dang it, that would've been awesome. You were the first person to have to wait on the second run of shirts, my apologies.
I think I'm going to take it with me wherever I end up on my way to Atlanta, and take a picture at each place along the way.
My fellow Hokies I will be in Afghanistan when the Hokies line up across from bama and proceed to #Beatbama. I will def order a shirt and take it with me and take some cool pics with it while i am there. I wish I was stationed back down in florida, there is a ton of bama idiots down there and I would photo bomb the hell out of them with that shirt.
Stay safe in Afghanistan!
I will try my best, I know the good Lord will be watching over us as well. Thank you for the kind words!
My girlfriend will be driving through Alabama on Sunday, down I-59 right past Tuscaloosa. She could possibly take an interesting picture or two on Bama's campus.
If I order today, would it arrive to my house in Christiansburg in time? Or is there somewhere I could pick one up?
If you order a small, medium, or extra large, then most likely depending on USPS Priority Mail, otherwise no. I'm out of large and they won't be printed until Friday.
Ok, thanks. I guess I'll be waiting until I make the drive down there in early July. I'll go ahead and order the shirts now though.
I think I've convinced my gf to take her shirt with her when she goes on her Mediterranean cruise in a week or so. I'll upload the pics when she gets back
So far we have 2 guys saying they will upload pictures of their girlfriends in these shirts. I think we are in need of other articles of #BEATBAMA clothing...
#BEATBAMA bandannas!
I can officially say I will be in Europe, somewhere between Italy, Switzerland, or (hopefully) Germany watching the Hokies #BEATBAMA. Definitely need to get that picture
I'll have some pictures of #BEATBAMA from Singapore later this summer
Can you reserve me a large shirt when you print? I have a small window before I head out and it be shipping from you to Vegas? Any idea how long it takes?
If you order today, the latest it will ship to Vegas by is Monday. Priority Mail seems to be taking a maximum of 3 business days to anywhere in the USA, but that's not a guarantee.
In AL right now, and they are showing an Alabama game from the early 90's on TV. Can't get away from it. #BEATBAMA
Bruce Feldman says that Alabama has 8th softest non-conference schedule next year:
http://www.cbssports.com/collegefootball/blog/bruce-feldman/22464158/top...
at least he says we're respectable. it's the two fcs schools and colorado state that he's ragging on.
True - I wanted to write that, but I was running to a meeting.
Even AJ is ready!
Stole this from the Bama athletic site, but it shows how the Georgia Dome will be laid out for the game:
Spotted a #BEATBAMA shirt walking down the street this weekend!
I saw one at the Firefly Music Festival two weeks ago. Had to chat with the guy a little.
#beatbama at the Colosseum in Rome
better view of the Colosseum :) #beatbama
FAIL! I apparently do not know what I am doing....will figure it out and re-post!
Your original comment had the correct HTML, but what you put in the src="" was a path to a file on your local machine. You need to upload it somewhere first, I suggest imgur.com because it's free and provides the correct embed HTML. Once you upload it, copy and paste the code underneath "HTML Image (websites & blogs)" and paste it into the comment box on TKP.
Thanks Joe!!! Learning more and more each day on here. :)
I twittered this out last night, but I think it belongs here as well:
If dictionaries had GIFs, this would be under the definition of perfection.
This is still my favourite "Look up [word] in the dictionary" quotes:
Kiss Kiss Bang Bang reference... well played sir. Need to watch that one again some time..
There's my prince charming (on a treadmill). LOL
I don't have a shirt, fellas, but rest assured knowing ill get a picture in my Vt gear in Antalya, Turkey for the game.
There's a turkey leg/Turkey (country) joke here somewhere...
Welcome to TKP!
I'm going to be in Myrtle Beach. Any recommendations on spots to watch the game? Must be kid friendly though.
Staying at the Omni...probably going to the Atlanta Hokie Tailgate with my #BeatBama shirt.
IN ROME. THAT IS WHERE AND WHEN WE BEAT BAMA MOTHAFATHAS!!
Going to watch it here in the West End of Richmond
Same here.
Samsies
Ditto
From Tuscaloosa a little ways back:
(This was actually taken by a friendly Bama fan and emailed to me)
And Mr. Bear Bryant says #BEATBAMA
(Sorry for the small size, it was with my phone)
This is...awesome. The Bear holding the beat bama shirt. Props to the alabama fans who took the pic for you.
The first one was taken by a fan, the second picture I made sure no one was watching so I wouldn't get beaten on the spot.
Right. My grammar wasn't precise.
I know it's not a picture of the shirt, but I'm wearing it here:
