Well folks, it was a huge day for the Missouri Tigers yesterday with a 38-7 victory over the Arkansas Razorbacks. Â Tony Temple had an amazing day setting two Cotton Bowl Records.
Now for the bad, the set-up at the stadium was less than ideal, there were these foam barrier things ringing the field that all of the photographers had to stand behind, this severely limited the idea of being able to kneel, or in my case, since the field had a very small crown, shoot from an extremely low angle.  To top it off, I couldn’t go out and shoot the coin toss, that really irked me.  Post-game was even more fun, the red-shirts really let all the ‘power’ they have go to their head, I saw them pushing photographers back as they tried to walk behind the team at the trophy presentation, no where near TV or anything.
But all in all, great game, good facilities, and amazing photos. Â Now it’s back to Chicago on United Airlines later this afternoon.
Enjoy!!
Well today started out with a trip to go pick-up our credentials and ended up running all around Dallas between two different hotels before finally getting them.
Visiting Dealey Plaza was interesting to visit this afternoon.  There were quite a few people there today.  We were going to go to the museum, but with the limited time that was available and with the length of the line to get in, we decided that we’ll try to go back and visit tomorrow.
Well, I made it to Dallas last night, flying out of ORD on United Airlines.  We finally made it out of Chicago after switching planes at the gate and then upon arrival at DFW we had the delightful experience of sitting on the tarmac for about 40 minutes before a gate opened up.  The waiting continued as I had the nerve-racking experience of having my checked bag being one of the last onto the baggage claim carousel, thankfully I have all of my luggage.
Another note, I didn’t have any issues with any of the batteries that I brought with me, but we’ll see what the TSA has in store when I fly home on Jan 2 after the new restrictions come into effect…
Now to enjoy my two days before the Cotton Bowl on New Years.
