The setting for "Opening Play" is the 2003 Sugar Bowl game between the LSU Tigers and the Oklahoma Sooners. The image represents the actual opening play of the game when LSU ran 76 yards.
The players on this team are the modern day heroes for the LSU sports enthusiasts - as any team is for its fans. Extraordinary excitement and adoration surround most sporting events from the gladiators in the Coliseum to present day. The LSU Tigers are the sports figures we idolize and as such attatin iconic status.
"Team sports have long served as a potent populist world that has fed the creation of manhood myths. Sports teams were understood as analogues of the world of business, a training ground where boys learned to be men by following the rules and by collapsing personal interest into the interests of the team.....Sports supplied the myth for modeling the desires and morals of men's work."
