Guidelines for Creation of Content

Note: Please enter the data for the date field first!

The unique identifier is composed of two elements.

The first part of the unique identifier will be the date of the image. Please remove any dashes from the date.

For example, the date for the 1975 Missouri game (1975-09-08) would become 19750908. The date of the 2009 Texas game (2010-01-07) would become 20100107.

The second part of the unique identifier will be a portion of the original file name of the image. This portion will be the part that is not related to the date of the game or the opponent Alabama was playing.

For example, the part of the file name that we would pull from the photo with file name 75_Missouri_021 would be 021. The part of the file name that we would pull from the photo with file name MFB_Texas09_CJ02674 would be CJ02674.
