You pick the open thread image for Saturday

While the real Eric Wood would undoubtedly provide a huge boost to the 2009 Louisville Cardinal football team, it was apparent about 15 minutes into the Indiana State game that Almost Snapping Eric Wood was not the answer.
Since this realization, I've spent approximately 273 hours tossing around possibilities for the Governor's Cup sacrificial lamb talisman. Go Cards Baby!, Gyrating Go Cards, Please God Let Us Win Baby were all internally debated but ultimately rejected. I then thought about taking the gamble of all gambles and having ADMM make a surprise appearance, but the widespread backlash I imagined (it involved a mob, sharp objects and me being able to see some of my insides) forced me to quickly dismiss the Hail Mary.
So with so much on the line, I'm doing what I always do when faced directly with a decision of great magnitude: pawn it off on someone else.
Post the image or a link to the image that you want to see lead us to an upset victory over UK on Saturday, and we'll make a community decision.
If your image is selected and Louisville beats Kentucky, you will be rewarded with a hard, drunken, pantsless hug at approximately 3:17 Sunday morning.
Choose wisely.

Maybe we need a little reverse psychology....
Mike, How about the guy from a few years ago wearing the UK shirt holding the sign above his head saying “we’re gonna lose… big”.

No wonder the Cards are off to a slow start...

You could also call it “Almost Consoling Malik Jackson”

THIS IS THW WINNER
Lets think, he scores the first td for the RAIDERS and for the past 9 uk uofl games the team with most rushing yards wins in which he out rushed uk in the whole game, only in the first quarter. And ofcourse dont forget he is a home grown talent.

i tried in vain to find that awesome pic of almost stiff arming eric shelton against Cinci when we won 70-7. My google luck was useless.
But this is my second pick, of Scott Long:

What about

But seriously, pipe-toting Schnelly is the clear victor. What are the odds he carved that pipe himself?

Check out http://roberthammermccune.com/ for Robert McCune's site. HAHAHA
Regardless of what picture we choose, everyone should check out Robert McCune’s new site. He’s now whoring himself and his muscles out to make money. I still wouldn’t fuck with him.

My favorite
Hard to top the sentimental favorite in Schnellenberger, but this one just makes me smile. If we lose the UK game with the pipe, I think this image has gotta go up there just to keep us smiling through the season

Yeah when I saw it while searching for Louisville football, it just spoke to me. You just can’t help but smile at this thing.

Was anybody else...
…at a game a few years ago (probably 2006) where during the Dean’s Milk Chug race, the Chug actually took off and beat the kid?
Little things like this make me want the Chug to be in consideration

I don’t care which photo you choose of Howard (they are all cool and I’m sure any more sent will also be cool-the guy just oozes it), but he needs to be the face of the thread and maybe throughout the season.

Come on Mike...
..where’s your faith. I haven’t given up on Almost Snappin’ Eric Wood. He was always good in the clutch games. So before you go with Bird-Flippin’ Breno Giacomini, I have to ask…do you want ASEW or BFBG? Me, I’m for the “A” team before the “B” team.
