In the doldrums

I'm in a slump. First image I kind of like in weeks, and I still went and mucked it up by blowing out the Husker "N". But, alas, it's not about me...

This is freshman wrestler Livingston Lukow, an extremely nice guy who took a year off of school to join the Marines. He's a Marine, and I had to crane my neck to talk to him (and I'm 6'1")...not someone I'd want to face on the mat.

Dumb Blondes

At the Qwest Center for Nebraska's victory over Oregon, the fans rushed the court and swarmed Coach Sadler.

Here's one frame:


Here's the next:


P.S. Thank you Greg, my brother in colorblindness.

If God watched basketball...

Football Disaster Vol. III

Covering a Husker game alone is a guaranteed disaster.

Chalk up another loss

Nebraska football would make a good metaphor for something. They come into the season, ready to conquer and fight for what they believe in. Despite bad losses, every week is the same: we'll get them this time. Eventually tiny victories, like a first down, are hailed as signs of guarenteed success.

What it could represent, I don't know.

Football Disaster Vol. II (and not including the score)

The irony: Mizzou (a school which prides itself on the journalists that come from there) sets up visiting journalists for the worst possible experience, especially those carrying camera gear. Their media lot is open to the general public, the general public being 70,049 fans, 80,000 of which are intoxicated. Needless to say, they filled up the 50 spots for media pretty quick. The next closest parking was almost two miles away in the docking area of a long-abandoned Wal-Mart.

At least there are some images this week.

Next week: bring sunscreen

Ball State's Darius Hill literally dropped the ball in this shot. Nebraska figuratively dropped the ball during the entire game.
