Cal Vs. UCLA Pictures

I started my day off by going to the Cal Vs. UCLA Water Polo game. 

 

The Cal bench.

At halftime of the Water Polo game, my friend and I decided to skip the 2nd half and go check out the band's concert @Sproul Plaza. Cheerleaders.

The Best Damn Band in the Land.

More Cheerleaders.

 

 The Tubas March up to the Stadium with the rest of the band. 

An amazing (in my opinion) shot of the campanile.

I sit in the bluezone, but in order to get a free shirt I had to head up and around the stadium as opposed to walking to section L via the west Concourse like I usually do. So, I ended up with this awesome shot of the stadium an hour before gametime.

From my seats.

bRUIN band warming up.

The California Banner.

The Student Section filling up.

The UCLA Pregame show.

And now, the pacesetter of college marching bands, the pride of California, the University of California Marching Band! *BOOM*

Script Cal.

Student Section at Kickoff.

Full stadium panorama. 

The halftime show was by far the most epic I've seen in the last 2 years. 

Sweet Victory!

I would have taken more photos of the game itself, but when they actually play, I actually watch instead of taking pictures. Whatever. Go Bears!

I can’t help but feel as if that last paragraph there was a direct insult towards me. Ai!

Moreover, the halftime show was EPIC. And we’ll have MORE than enough coverage of it, I assure you that!

Needs more banana suit.

It’s times like this I wish they’d never discovered CougCenterium.

I disagree. I feel it could use more banana suit.

I had forgotten how

rediculous looking those cape things on ucla’s band uniforms are.

Those unis are butt ugly!

I may not be a funny bastard, but at least I'm a bastard.

I miss the juggler from the UCLA band. He brought that extra bit of class that you just don’t see in a College Band.

Good seats. Better than mine, anyway.

Go Bears!

That’s why we donate the big bucks!

(big bucks = $75 each)

sad cheerleaders are kinda heartbreaking…it’s like a puppy that’s just been kicked…

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!

ucla ppgs being sad faced.

you cheater with your 300mm lens ;p

Good stuff.

by turkey on Oct 27, 2008 12:53 PM PDT up reply actions  

Thanks! Nikon D80 + their cheapest 300mm zoom & some additional cropping on a few above. These are (almost) all from my seat and that stadium view shows how high up we are. I gotta fix my camera, there is some lint in there making a smudge in all of my pix from the past year, boo to that. Canned air blast didn’t take care of it.

Sensor dust bunnies are the bane of SLR ownership.

I have the D50 and a 200mm. The cheap-o (I assume you have the 70-300) seems to do a decent job there.

by turkey on Oct 27, 2008 4:21 PM PDT up reply actions  

Yeah, it’s nice nuff for the price… just have to remember crank the ISO way up.

by zoonews on Oct 27, 2008 4:29 PM PDT up reply actions  

Impressive, impressive stuff.
