I'm just glad the boys backed it up tonight. That photo would have been ridden about as hard as Prez candidate Michael Dukakis sticking his head out of the top of that M1 tank, had we lost. I doubt coach Barnes was too excited about that getting leaked on to social media.

It was photo shopped.

Oh really. It's not real?

Nah. If you zoom in on his hand you can see where it was cut out of another picture. Whoever did it didn’t even take the time to soften the edges with a blur tool. In any case, it’s still a great picture and sums up my feelings to a “T” (a big orange one).

 

[Hulavol]

Fake or not, it sums up my feelings on the subject !

Not a good idea and not a good look for Zakai. We all feel that way privately, of course. But some things are best left private… especially if you wear a Tennessee uniform.

Is anyone aware of ZZ addressing this in the media? I haven't heard him asked about it. In any case, as a former professional image editor, I'm confident it's a fairly amateurish fake.

Probably no reporter wants to ask about it because they all can tell it’s faked. Would be kinda embarrassing for them to ask him and him say “that’s a bad photoshop, didn’t you bother to check?”

The funniest part is the hack Kentucky "reporters" that knew they needed to push it to motivate the team.

They were afraid an A-kicking was coming, and they were right.

It's a real photo as far as I know.

Taken sometime during the first and (prolly) second round games in Rupp. I posted some of the other photos from the same photographer at the time. #143,698

This is real, too. ZZ keepin' it real.

Came to post the same. Incredible pic. I may be ordering and framing that for the Vol cave.

It's a pretty poor cut out. Definitely shopped.

It could be real. I definitely remember ZZ styling on Kentucky players as they watched in amazement last night.

It's not. I've made many Photoshop cuts so I can identify them pretty easily. It's 100% cut. They didn't even try to blend the sharp edges at all. It's a straight up cut and paste.

Any idea who took this and where I might be able to get a high res image?

I don’t. Sorry.

It's literally on this page.
