The program yes, but coaches no.

Is this really in Schembechler Hall? It's a terrible painting. All of these images were originally photos, and it would have been far better to keep them that way if you can't paint them well.

Kipke looks like he's got either a big wad of chewing tobacco in his cheek or a big tumor on his face.

I wouldn't put this up on my wall if it was given to me for free. It's really bad art.

I didn't intend on referring to Kipke's protruding left cheek, but rather to the swollen-looking right jaw area on the painting. Kipke did have an asymmetrical face, but the amateurish rendition of facial planes and shadows in the painting exaggerate that feature of the right side of his face so that it doesn't look natural.
