However, I had the fun assignment of covering the ESPN Thursday night NCAA game between Missouri and Nebraska. MU was undefeated going into the game, although being ranked 24 in the AP Poll, and Nebraska was ranked at 21.

It had rained most all day, and that situation didn’t change all during the game. And although I’ve got rain covers for myself and my gear, it still was pretty miserable to shoot. On the flipside, the rain did make for some cool shots!

Below are a few of my favorite ones, but many more Random shots are on my website here!

And one of my shots made ESPN’s headline shot on the NCAAFB page from the game:

Although it was wet, chilly, and crowded, it was a really fun game to shoot. I really wish MU would’ve pulled out the win (they blew it in the fourth quarter, losing 27-12), but…it’s a ‘rebuilding year’, right?

Several more of my shots from the game can be found here on my Random Photography website. As usual, thanks for looking, and I’ll hopefully update again soon!

Ouch.

On a rainy day in April (today, the 18th as a matter of fact) I headed to Columbia, MO to the University of Missouri to photograph the annual Black and Gold football game.  Spring football!  Can you tell which sport is my favorite?

Although the weather for the first half of the game wasn’t great, it was good to shoot some football again and see some of the newer players on the field.  Here’s a few of my Random selects from today’s game.  By the way – MU won.

Ouch. Again. Wide receiver Jonnie Fields looses his hat on this tackle.

Who knows how the Tigers will do this season, but it sure was fun to shoot some football in the spring!
