Here's a nice review of the 2006 Mississippi State Football Poster...
http://asterix.ednet.lsu.edu/~stockard/experimental/0282d900.jpg
Sylvester Croom was handed a mess when he took over the Mississippi State program on Dec. 1, 2003, but if the Bulldogs' 2006 poster schedule is any indication, the rebuilding effort is about to pay dividends. Croom has won only six games in two years, but one of the victories came over rival Mississippi (35-14) in last year's Egg Bowl. Croom and the Egg Bowl trophy anchor the piece, and as the reader (they asked to name anonymous) who sent this to us pointed out, the scowl on Croom's face is priceless. "Yeah, he really doesn't like Ole Miss," they wrote. We really like this effort. It's big, it's bold. Everything blends together and the piece has balance. Although it has been a tough stretch for Mississippi State, the SEC championship game is on the schedule, an indication that the Bulldogs have clear goals despite their recent struggles. Now this project wouldn't be possible without your help, so if you want your team's poster schedule reviewed and featured, send an image or link to dawizofodds (at) aol.com. Here are hotlinks to posters that have been reviewed: Auburn (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/08/is-this-shape-of-things-to-come.html), South Carolina (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/08/gamecocks-poster-is-perfect-blend.html), Arkansas (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/07/nothing-to-go-hog-wild-over.html), Florida State (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/07/not-so-fast-florida.html), Florida (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/07/florida-swamps-competition.html), Iowa State (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/07/storm-watch-2006-in-ames.html) and USC (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/03/journalist-now-embedded-with-trojans.html).
South Carolina...

It's clear that South Carolina has put a lot of love into its 2006 poster schedule, and we have reader Clark to thank for sending it to us. An image of Williams-Brice Stadium serves as the foundation, with coach Steve Spurrier and four players ringing the piece. There is considerable detail, with additional shots of Spurrier and his troops blended into the background. The schedule rests at the bottom, is easy to read and adds balance. Most important, it doesn't distract from the overall composition.
Florida...

Florida is celebrating its 100th year of football, and the Gators' 2006 poster schedule combines a mix of old and new titled "The Boys of Old Florida." Up front, we have to say this tasteful montage — truly a work of love — puts the Gators at the top of the class. How much do we think of this beautiful image? If the Wiz were an art connoisseur, the wall space would be rearranged to find a place next to the Picasso for this piece.
Auburn...

Unfortunately, the Blogger template does not allow us to properly display Auburn's 2006 poster schedule, but that might not be such a bad thing. Outside of the unusual shape, which sets it apart, we simply are not enamored with much of anything here. It's as if coach Tommy Tuberville, the man in the middle, didn't want to single out four or five players to be featured and decided to have shots of 22 players instead. The 2005 schedule, which you can view here (http://www.flickr.com/photos/51035797689@N01/188925419/), is more to our liking.
Arkansas...

Resuming our series of poster schedules, we present you Arkansas' effort for 2006. Although we would be delighted to move the Monet from the main gallery to the back room in order to display many of the entries we have received, the Razorbacks' effort wouldn't make it out of the bathroom. Simply put, this is the most uninspiring poster schedule to date! Now this should be an inspiration to readers who have been thinking about sending the Wiz their team's official 2006 poster schedule but fear it might not meet the stringent standards we have in place. As you can see from the Arkansas schedule, we really have no standards. So if you have an image of your team's official 2006 poster schedule, send it to dawizofodds (at) aol.com. Previously we have displayed efforts from Florida State (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/07/not-so-fast-florida.html), Florida (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/07/florida-swamps-competition.html), Iowa State (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/07/storm-watch-2006-in-ames.html) and USC (http://thewizardofodds.blogspot.com/2006/03/journalist-now-embedded-with-trojans.html). ... One last note regarding the Arkansas poster: it shows early signs of a curse. Darren McFadden, the player displayed on the far left and SEC freshman of the year in 2005, is likely to miss a considerable part of the season after injuring his big left toe in a fight outside — you guessed it — a bar. A toe injury is never a good thing for a running back.
