    3 games, 1 day

    Friday nights games were either delayed or postponed until Saturday due to lightning, so here are some from the days action.

    Really good pictures. All of the football pictures in this forum are getting me excited about football season. We're going to the USF football game this Saturday (my first live game this season), I'm ready for some football.

    Three games in one day!!! That is loving football. All that football and earning the "big bucks" too. Good pics, keep them coming.

    Thanks tufacat,
    Yup three games in one day. All due to games being postponed Friday night, plus add to it the air show and a job at an elementary school the same day. One game I drove 50 miles and was there 30 minutes then went off to another game. When shooting the state football finals it's 5 games in two days.

    The photos below got a bit mixed up when merging, the bottom shot was the first of two I posted of an interception, the top was the second part of that. All total there are 7 frames from that interception and the very first one of the sequence the paper used. None of these are ones the paper used.

    Really great action on these John. Tough to pick one out of this group. I think I have to go with the sideline run with number 20 and 32 holding hands. Just top notch peak action all around. Nice way to get the season kicked off.
    Don't forget about the Gallery. Are your photos there??

    Re: 3 games, 1 day

    My season started three weeks ago, we already played the first two regular season games
    I like that shot too of 20 & 32, the next frame 20 is getting dragged by 32. The funny one of the day, although not the best due shooting into the sun was the player being tackled by his own teammate....good thing too, it delayed the TD by one play
    That was way too much shooting in a single day though, I am still recovering from this weekend..... I guess this week I'll have one game, and a long drive. Too many long distance games this week.

    That was pretty funny, they fought over the ball not realizing they were teammates and then a green guy jumped in and it was blown dead... white ball, each got half a recovery

    I love the 1st and last. I guess being a past d-back, I am biased. But I love the kid's look and the fact that you can see his veins and arm so clearly. That's front page stuff!

    If you shoot for a paper, I bet #5 and #8 were their prints?

    Great stuff.

    Thanks VinnyC01,
    None of these were used, they didn't have enough space due to other games. although they did use the one just before the top shot, and one dimilar to 8. They also used one of the coach talking to two RB's on the sidelines and actually smiling... rare occasion there during a game! But by then he knew it was a win.
