Pictures.

The contest was to take the coolest plank picture with the ugliest sweater. We didn't have ugly Christmas sweaters so we had to get something from the local thrift shop. Planking is very stupid, and I would never do this if it weren't for a cause. I'll do a lot to get Ravens tickets.

Some colleges have traditions and pranks

Is this something they do in Oregon?

Planking was kind of a Twitter craze this year..

The point of planking is take a picture of yourself doing it in a funny or crazy place.. so there is no point really.

The point of us planking was to get free tickets... in which we succeeded.

Oh, ok.

Well, winning tickets makes sense.

I wasn't trying to be an ass, I really just haven't heard of the whole "planking" movement or anything like it.

Ha no I didn't think you were being an ass, I completely understand the skepticism.

Go Ravens!

I know about the contest, where's the Christmas sweater you were supposed to wear in the photo?

I thought that was part of the contest??

The 3rd place winner was the best, IMO.

Ugly Christmas sweaters aren't as easy to find as you would think. We found ugly sweaters..

The third place person had the most holiday themed clothes but her pictures took little effort and weren't even truly planking.

If I was him I'd pick the person who put in more effort than somebody who happened to have an ugly christmas sweater. Thankfully, that's what he did.

For you or anyone else who might need an ugly sweater in the future...

Javale McGee was a planking enthusiast:

All that said I certainly don't get the point
