Hey,
I know this is not a card, but I thought you might find this scan
interesting (Look at the crotch area of No. 1 for Texas). This picture ran
in the Bryan/College Station Eagle last March. This is the actual scan of
the picture in the paper. The editor who build the page that night is a
friend of mine and said he looked at the picture 100 times the night before
and never noticed anything, but once it ran in news print at a much lower
resolution this is what came out. I think the paper ended up writing a
response to the picture explaining it was a shadow and the newsprint made it
worse than it should have been.
Enjoy,

Oh, If Only They Wore Cups In Basketball
If you're one of the lucky ones who opened your morning Bryan-College Station Eagle on Thursday and found a large p**** staring back at you, well, congratulations. No, it wasn't one of the paper's newer promotions (find the wiener, win a Mexican cruise!), just a goof by an editor who didn't scrutinize the photo quite closely enough.
That's Texas guard Daniel Gibson trying to guard Texas A&M's Acie Law during their game on Wednesday -- and either it was a very good fake by Law, or Gibson just doesn't believe in the tyranny of underwear. Or both.
You can't quite see the whole picture in that tiny photo ... but never fear! The full-sized photo is after the jump. Oops.
(UPDATE: The paper says it's an optical illusion. We're still not convinced.)
