The old Coaches' Cafe (formerly Gary Barnett's, the Huddle, etc...) had a 
giant blow-up of this photo on the wall, which led me as an undergraduate 
to wonder: "who's this Gissendaner guy"?  It's just such a well-shot 
photo, because you can tell almost everything you need to know about that 
game just from the one shot.

I wonder what happened to it?  It was maybe 5 feet wide and 3 or 4 feet 
tall - a very, very large blowup.  I heard maybe they have it at the 
Athletic Department now - can anyone confirm?

Best,

Jonathan
