I just added some pics that should put us in the lead.

This fall the banner will travel. I now have two of them and will loan it out for any trips I can't make. just don't lose it.

Does the UAB game against UAT at the Met count?

I'm guessing we can't use the BTR-enhanced photos, can we?

Yes, the game at the Met does count and no we can't use the BTR ones.

If I can get my hands on one of the banners in the fall, I can hit many of the college venues in middle Tennessee over a weekend or two: Vandy, MTSU, WKU, APSU and yes, Tennessee Tech.

Where are the photos posted?

GN

DONE!
I will get you one of the banners for a couple weeks.

NCAAbbs Everywhere

I can't believe we don't have a photo of the banner at Young Memorial Field or George Ward Park.

For crying out loud -- get the Memphis venues. They haven't tagged anything yet. And the rules are ... first tag stands. So UAB can still claim all the Memphis venues.

They're all on the Facebook group.

And it doesn't have to be the BlazerTalk banner... just write BlazerTalk.com on a sheet of paper and hold it up while your picture is being taken.

Hmmm... I will try to get some pictures from around Mexico :) What about some soccer games...

It's a lot of gas to drive to Memphis. Maybe Memphis Blazer can take care of this one for us.

It doesn't have to be the "Official" banner, does it?

Lots of places around here in the DC area to tag.

Seems not.

Doesn't have to be the banner. Print a piece of paper with the BlazerTalk logo on it full size.

Make sure someone tags City Stages this weekend.

If I had known about this 2 days ago, I could have tagged City Fest in Alabaster.

I will be at a Twins Game in Minneapolis in two weeks...does it have to be at a sporting event? Or just in an identifiable city?

College Sports Venue: 1 point
College Sports Related, but not a venue (The Varsity): 0.5 point
Non-College Sports Venue: 0.5 point
Major World Monument (White House; Opera House; Eiffel Tower): 1 point

When does the contest end? My parents are going to Rome the first 2 weeks of August and I could probably get them to take few extra photos with a Blazertalk paper.
