Printing and framing a few of these for Christmas presents and wasn't able to find a good quality pic online that wasn't coming out fuzzy. Used an image enhancer for the below pic which comes out a lot better. Figured I'd share here in case anyone is doing similar for Christmas...

How about an actual Sports Illustrated cover?

Had a friend who's a photographer who said he dreams of taking a photo like that. I imagine the sports setting on the camera makes this a little easier




For those that don't know, the sports setting allows you to hold down the shutter button and it just takes photo after photo in continuously until you release.

I remember when I received that issue in the mail - thought about framing it.

Very frame-worthy

I've found high resolution images for all three national title SI covers. All you have to do is go to the search tabs and only search for large images. I've had all three printed poster size and framed, and they look great.

Your image is only 72dpi. Will not be sharp at larger size. Doesn't the Sports Illustrated site have it?
There are better images. Search GEAUXT and look for large file sizes. Found one that is 1548x2048. Much better chance of it being sharp.

This one was always my personal favorite. It is from the 2003 season. At that point it was almost a certainty it would be USC vs Oklahoma. but they were sure to add the "Plus LSU's chances"

For as great as that night was, the fact we lost to a shitty Ole Miss team the next week bothers me.

I've got one that is too large to upload or I would put it in this thread. 50mb

It says it is 16256 x 12288. Does that sound right?

Could you send me the link for this? I can't seem to find one that size on eBay or anywhere for that matter.

framing a few of these for Christmas presents

I did the same thing with that cover for my son two Christmases ago. I bought the print online though. It was nice and sharp.
