Title: Al Mcguire photo wanted? Please help
Post by: hoss23 on December 26, 2011, 10:04:37 PM
I am looking to purchase to frame a photo of Al Mcguire after a win against Wisconsin, where a badger parent is giving Coach Al the middle finger.  Hank appears to be celebrating.  Can you help.  please, any info to help purchase one would be great.

Do you have quality prints available of this shot? If so, what sizes are available and what are the prices? Thanks.

You have a high enough resolution for printing and framing?

This has been explained before, but it is hard to find a large one for framing because it originally appeared in a newspaper.  You can find it online at a bunch of places...

So I am not sure what you can do with it.

Found the photo on Google Images, says it's connected to this website:

http://flavors.me/bergemann#_

Seems to be a former MU student.  He may have just posted it somewhere, but you might try contacting him to see if he has something available.

"Al McGuire's emotional behavior during the game earned him a technical foul that may have cost Marquette the title."

I was under the impression that the technical fouls on March 25 may have cost MU the title, not the technical foul on Feb 5.

The wisonsinology version has about twice the resolution of the bergemann one.

Did you buy an actual photograph or JPEG? Does JS have a high resolution copy in their archive?

Your best bet may be to contact the MU Library archives. They have tons of photos, I'm guessing this one. For a nominal fee, they will either get them scanned for you or have actual copies made at Kinko's to the size of your choosing. That's my recommendation...
