Cal v. CSU Photo Essay II: First Half

PreGame

And with the end of the pomp and with most of the circumstance finalized, the game did done began:

Often times I have photographs of action without any real context to them:

N1218201_41727174_3825_medium

I remember thinking in my head as the ball careened off the back of a CSU player and started rolling down the field "Get the camera ready."  I often am unable to get a perfect shot of the important play in action due to the wild card (WILD CARD!) nature of it.  But I was able to get the post-game "Let's Hump In The Endzone" Celebration:

N1218201_41727180_5961_medium

Less humping in the stands, but people were still excited:

I went down to talk to some friends and while I was chatting with them grabbed a few photos of the team from up close.  I also managed to look away right when we snagged an pick six:

I even snagged a few in game photos:

Some more action shots from my usual perch:

We learned some more about our football players.  What parts of school did they most appreciate:

This is actually the play where Riley put it RIGHT in Sean Young's wheelhouse.  I mean right in his wheelhouse.  You couldn't wheel it anymore into his house.  But it was not complete.  Riley had some rough throws, at times, but he also wasn't helped at other times.  If Riley and Young had connected on that long bomb, maybe Longshore doesn't go in?  Maybe it just papers over some of Riley's worse plays?  I don't know.  But it was a GORGEOUS pass and on a longer one, too.

A shorter pass:

Last game (MSU) my section had trouble lifting people up after the TDs.  But this time there was less of a problem:

Thanks to TrisWeb, we have one more photo.

And that brings us to the end of the first half:

No Way!

I think the side of my head is in the picture of dude trying to be lifted after the TD! Right next to and behind the guy in the white Cal hat is I think me in my lucky dirty yellow Cal hat. I’m famous!

Also, anyone else notice that Nnabuife pulled a Desean and threw the ball away before crossing the goal line?

by CalBandGreat on Sep 30, 2008 3:14 PM PDT reply actions   0 recs

yes, he totally fumbled it early.

the other guy with him picked it up though, before it went out of the endzone.

by Rocksanddirt on Sep 30, 2008 3:17 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

I also noticed that (from the bluezone).

but the scorer just gave it to Nnabuife because it didn’t matter anyway? or did the other dude get the touchdown?

Go Bears!

by RollOnYouBears667 on Sep 30, 2008 3:43 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

likely no one noticed

the scorer was probably filling in his/her form and not looking at the play anylonger, just like the ref.

Damn, I think I remember seeing that hat. And thinking how dirty it was. You were only a few rows behind me.

You might want to get checked for VD. Just to be safe!

I heard he wrote the entire bailout bill himself and also wrote the one that will be voted on later today.

And then taught the lions to write. They have since become Danzig’s personal economic advisors, much to the chagrin of his former financial panthers.

You know, all of his financial panthers are made with realbits of panther.

I’ll slow this down for you, egghead. It says “Bernard Hicks” in the corner of the screen.

Was that slow enough?

I’m at work unfortunately so I can’t view images without people wondering why I’m viewing Cal football images and not working, so I leave the images off in Firefox. Sorrrrryyyy =((((((

Ask Twist,

It’s was a coded message sent via anagram specifically to him…

Twist, a month on.

What are you and Bernard up to, Twist? If that is your real name.

by CalBandGreat on Sep 30, 2008 4:19 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

Actually, my real name is Brett Johnson. So, Bernard Hicks is less than enthused with me right now.

No need, pretend you’ve entered the strange world of NFL scouting and judge their ‘bubble’

by the federer express on Sep 30, 2008 10:16 PM PDT up reply actions   0 recs

That’s not true. I’ve many times chatted with this lovely lady.

So, basically, you gotta Go Bears!
