OT: UofM wallpapers for large monitors

Big Ten football procrastinates on parity-based scheduling, and nothing ever changes

the just released schedules were a flat-out statement that the B10 doesn't believe SOS will matter in playoff selection

Michigan's rising recruiting profile exciting John Beilein, who remains true to his scouting form

Their high school coaches and AAU coaches have probably a better appreciation of Michigan than maybe they had before," Beilein said. "It's a tough balance right now. Tim Hardaway and Trey Burke weren't really high-profile players, nor was Darius Morris, and all were high-profile players. "We're still looking at 'who is the best fit.' "

OT: UofM wallpapers for large monitors

I have been using a UTL image as my desktop for awhile, but recently I upgraded to a 23" HD monitor. Resolution is 1920x1080. I haven't been able to find any UofM images (preferably from UTL) that are large enough to fill the screen.

Does anyone know good websites for large scale UofM desktops? I'd even pay a modest fee if it would give me something high quality. Everything else looks like crap when stretched, or it's way too small when centered.

It's good. I prefer black backgrounds though. Darker colors seem easieir on my eyes. Also found a good UTL aerial shot once the poster below showed me how to advance search on google.

Just go to Google image search, search for "michigan football', and set the advanced options so you only get "large" images (or if you want to be very precise, you can set it to only return images that are exactly 1920x1080).

I also had the same issue as UMFan21, large monitor. So I thought it would be fun to try to create my own version of monuMental's Under the Lights background.

Check out the thumbnail image below. I have created the same sizes as monuMental.
