A perfect depiction of UM's last season in the Atlantic 10. A VCU fan created this for the game. It shows a Minuteman, and a representation of A10 Commissioner Bernadette McGlade with a basketball on her desk, each giving the other the middle finger salute as the Minuteman leaves with his football.
