Wallpaper Season - Nebraska

By jonvalk — October 23rd, 2012 at 11:48 PM — 9 comments
Filed under:
  • football
  • nebraska wallpaper football 2012

Ok, so after a week off from wallpapers (good thing MonuMental dazzled with his wallpaper!), I got back at it.  This week, I chose a theme that placed Michigan's stars as "cornhusker servers."  Essentially, I love corn on the cob, it fits with the cornhusker theme, and it was fun to make Denard and Jake into little yellow plasticky corn on the cob holders/servers.  I think it turned out pretty well, considering the fact that this was done in the least amount of time of all of my wallpapers thus far.  As usual, I welcome your suggestions and/or comments.  So far, just the 16:9 version is done, but I'll work on getting a mobile version done ASAP.

Desktop:

Enjoy and Go Blue!

Pretty confident that our defense will provide complete service for 4 quarters.

Incredible work.  I love the retro.  You should however, call the team the "Hokemen," like the 900 wins video called the team the, "Yostmen."

 


And when we play as a team, when the old season is over, you and I know it’s going to be Michigan again. Michigan!

This background looks great. And the little Fighting Illini boy in your previous wallpaper was super cute, too.

Are hoke points similar to schrute bucks? I'd like to think so.

I can only continue to reference the fact that I live in an onion factory.
