Description |
| Jones adorns NA4 Poster |
 |
Out of all the players and photos to select from, USA Rugby picks this one... |
| Fall 1991 MidSouth Champs |
 |
Full set of stars for the champions of the MidSouth following a hard fought victory over MTSU |
| Robertson Catches up with Godfrey |
 |
Coach Robertson, with daughter Adreinne, catch up with UT Old Boy Jerry Godfrey in Gettysburg, PA |
| UT Old Boy Ken Simmons Directing UF Rugby |
 |
Could have earned more stars with a UT logo but a good shot none the less... |
| Prescott Weldon in Alaska |
 |
Bonus star for bringing along the UTRFC shirt but lost a couple of stars due to photo quality and the fact that he's still an undergrad. Its 1:30 AM in Denali National Park with Mt. McKinley in the background. |
| Garry Cornelius' Wedding Party |
 |
Persistence pays off for these UT Old Boys. Five Stars for 5 Old Boys with 4 vintage fall break tour shirts. The persistence and the shirts put them over the top... |
| Ingle in Ireland |
 |
UT Old Boy Adam Ingle in Ireland... A star for the t-shirt, a star for being outside the US, and a third star for his screaming liver you can hear in this photo... |
| Jason Barnes' Wedding Party |
 |
About as close as you can get to 5 stars... 8 Old Boys in ties (at an event other than the spring banquet) is very impressive - including one that traveled all the way from Japan. Toss in a UTRFC koozie and/or a couple of kids of old boys and it'd be five stars for sure. |
| Coach Farley & Gonzaga |
 |
Rob Farley and fellow coaches of Gonzaga High School. Bonus star for UTRFC hat but deduction because he's holding trophy while other coaches are holding cold beverages (without UTRFC koozies) |
| JT and the bear |
 |
Good photo of Jesse and a tranqualized bear while he was working in the Tensas River National Wildlife Refuge in Louisiana. (no bears were hurt in the making of this photo) |
| Jeremy, Vinny and a kindergartner |
 |
OK, lots going on here... Bonus stars for vintage UTRFC fall break tour jersey on the kid, for multiple Old Boys in the same shot, and for Linne's ridiculous pants; deduction of two stars because Vinny's in the photo (see shameless Mr. Met photo below) but one has been added back because the top of his head was cut off when the photo was delivered to me... |
| UT Rugby in 1981 |
 |
Vintage photo of the 1981 Univ of Tennessee Men's Rugby Club. Fell just short of 5 stars because the VW hippie van is hidden by a Schlitz banner. |
| Williams chats up W |
 |
Quite possibly the photo by which all future submissions are judged... A full deck of stars even without a UT logo in the photo |
| Williams & Ball Meet in Bangkok |
 |
Cool photo of Old Boys meeting up in Bangkok during a rugby tournament but no UTRFC logo cost them a star |
| Old Boys on the Mountain |
 |
Bonus stars for 4 old boys in one photo; one with UT Rugby t-shirt and one with USA Rugby t-shirt |
| The next generation of UT Rugby |
 |
Old Boys' kIds always get full set of stars... |
| Alderette prepares for Fallajuh |
 |
Despite not wearing any of the UTRFC logo apparel that he recently ordered from the web site, still a great shot of him and Smokey... |
| Bob Ball plays in Bangkok |
 |
Additional stars could have been awarded if it was easier to find him in the photo... Maybe he should have been wearing his UTRFC hat! |
Halcomb with CBS's Jill Arrington
|
 |
Voted most salacious photo even with Halcomb in it... Bonus star for his UTRFC t-shirt |
| Jason Gruner with Stanley Cup |
 |
Could have earned an extra star if he'd been using an official UTRFC koozie. |
| Scott Jones playing for the Eagles |
 |
Game speed... |
| 4 UT Old Boys in Cambodia |
 |
Bonus points for the stories that they could tell but probably won't and also for the Tennessee Rugby t-shirt... |
| Mike Scoutten touring Iraq |
 |
Mike is the dude in the middle. Photo pretty much speaks for itself. |
| Vinny Nitopi Chats Up Mr. Met |
 |
Deductions due to it being the Mets, because its Vinny and because the poor quality guarantees its a photo from a cell phone... |
| Russell Williams makes Saigon Poster |
 |
Bonus star because it was used in a marketing campaign in a country where he doesn't speak the language... |
| Henry Fincher for State Representative |
 |
Best viewed while someone stands over your shoulder and tells a Henry Fincher story from the 1980s... |
