These conference family portraits were originally done back in 1968-69:

SWC before UH joined...














I think this one came out in June/July 2010 when Texas A&M decided to stay in the Big 12.



This one is my favorite...

Lots of white folks in those family portraits.

Someone on Liucci's forum asked why GT wasn't in the family portraits. GT left the SEC in the 1964. They joined the ACC in 1978. They were probably an independent in the years between the SEC and ACC when these family portraits were done (1968-69).

South Carolina left the ACC and joined the SEC. Basically USC and GT traded places.

And for Stanford.

Isn't Ole Miss a bear now? And the Stanford Indian? Why do the Indians pictured look like Mel Brooks in "Blazing Saddles?"

Thanks Old Main, those are priceless.

Illinois is supposed to be an Indian.

I just think it's funny that Tennessee has that lady-like sitting pose.

Man-Card revoked.

Oh, and just noticed how much Harvard looks like a d-bag. priceless.

I don't think Purdue fans framed many Big 10 Family Portraits...

These are hideous.

Knox could actually IMPROVE them.

I had the SWC family portrait up in my room from about 1969 to 1975 or so(elementary and jr high years)

I remember shooting so many rubber darts at the longhorn over the years that the poster tore and had to be taken down from the wall

I would love to get some of those for The Hubs' mancave, especially the Old and new SEC ones. Checked on ebay, but they were out. Any ideas?

TIA.

Ebay is the only place I can think of where you might find the original prints/posters.

You could probably email the larger jpegs from this post (or find even larger ones on a google image search) to a high end copier like A&E graphics and have them print the images as large as they can before there is too much distortion and posterization. Obviously the real small images won't work, but the one below would be OK. Use a high quality glossy cardstock for your copies. You might only get images 8" x 10", but with matting and a frame it will be a decent size.

south Carolina left the acc in 1971 and joined the sec in 1991 after 20 years of being independent. And if memory serves correctly ha tech joined the acc in 1978 after leaving the sec in the 1960's.

You are a prince, Old Main. Thank you kindly.

You are welcome.

txdawg80,

I didn't mean to imply that they switched conferences at the same time. I meant that USC went from the ACC to the SEC and that GT went from the SEC to the ACC. As you mentioned this occured in different time spans.
