Football Field

What makes football a high-paced, anything-can-happen event also makes it very difficult for digital photographers. You must deal with 22 players on the field (not to mention referees and coaches trying to get their points across), plus the midday sun outside or inconsistent lighting inside domes. Unless you have a press pass, you also must deal with nose-bleed seats in large stadiums and shouting and screaming fans ready to jump up at a moment’s notice to block your shot. Whew! To help you score a touchdown with your digital photos I’ve listed 5 digital photography tips, and 4 more are listed in Part II. 1) Don’t Get Your Hopes Up This sounds like a lousy tip to start things off, but hear me out. If you’re sitting in nose-bleed seats and don’t own a digital camera with a large optical telephoto zoom (digital zoom doesn’t matter), football players will likely appear as just large dots in your photos. And if you’re sitting behind a tall person that loves to stand up and cheer after eve …

They lost for the same reason they tried to blow the game against Stanford. Here is my evaluation of the games. The first thing that went wrong started against Stanford when Notre Dame had a 3 touchdown lead. This was in the third quarter and instead of putting up a couple more touchdowns and closing the game out they decided to become a shell of an offense and be conservative. They also became conservative on Defense allowing Stanford to come back and only lose by a touchdown. Instead they should have kept being aggressive and scoring points. One more touchdown would have closed it out for good. Also, it did not help that a highly talented high school kicker recruited by Notre Dame missed two field goals in the game and was 1 for 7 at the end of the game. Now against North Carolina it was a lot of the same, but still a bit different. Clausen made a huge mistake, but the coach should have seen that this would happen and called a different play. Notre Dame was up 17 to 9 at the beginni …

For me, it all started with my dad. My dad was born in Texas and then moved to Oklahoma when he was a teenager. In the 60’s, everyone who lived in Oklahoma and Texas was automatically supposed to be a fan of the Dallas Cowboys. But not my dad. He liked the brand of football the Packers played in the 60’s and he loved how Vince Lombardi coached. He used to tell me, “It would be third down and one, and everyone knew the Packers were going to run the ball with either Paul Hourning or Jim Taylor. But Bart Starr would take the snap, drop back to pass, and throw for the first down or for a touchdown.” And then my dad would say, “That took guts, and Lombardi’s players were the guttiest and toughest ever to play in the NFL.” As a kid, I loved hearing my dad talk about the Packers and the glory days of the 60’s, of NFL Championships and the first two Super Bowls. I was hearing all of these great stories of the Packers as a child in the 1970’s and I was too young to ever see the great Packer te …

Not only did they set a rivalry scoring record of 80 points, a combined aerial attack totaling 664 yards and 6 touchdowns. They had an explosive 96 yard kick off return, two point conversion, circus catches, one for a touchdown, a fake punt and naturally their fair share of controversial calls. A game that had something for everybody. Emotions run high in arch rivalry games and this …

Part II expands on this advice and mentions a few technical tweaks you should make in order to take great photographs. 6) Take Photos as Fast as Possible Action in football happens fast. Especially if you’re sitting in the stands, the combination of fast action and hand-holding a digital camera often leads to blurry photos. * Don’t shoot in RAW mode - use high-quality JPG. You may not notice a difference in picture quality, and shooting in JPG means your digital camera can save photos to memory faster, letting you take follow-up photos quicker. * Shoot with the fastest possible shutter speed (usually adjustable by a digital camera’s “S” setting) that still results in photos not appearing too dark. If you mostly shoot in automatic mode, experiment by pushing your digital camera a step or two faster than what it recommends. If you own a digital SLR and are allowed to bring it to the game, a faster lens may help increase the camera’s fastest possible shutter speed. This can add to the ca …

Unfortunately, what could have been a great game became a yawner with the Spartans on the losing end, 24-12, New Year’s Day (1-1-09). Mark Dantonio’s Michigan State players led 6-3 at the half, not because of a tremendous defensive effort but because the Spartans could not block for their star running back Javon Ringer. MSU’s offensive line play was horrid and never improved. Ringer went nowhere about 1,000 miles an hour (47 yards on 20 carries). He did, however, score another touchdown, giving him a school-record 22 on the season. Georgia’s star running back, Knowshon Moreno went nowhere as well (62 yards on 23 carries). So much for the big time running match-up. Moreno, a sophomore is already talking about going pro. Georgia’s star quarterback, junior Matthew Stafford, did not play well in the first half but did eventually complete 20-of-31 for 250 yards and 3 touchdowns. After the game he was busy talking about whether he would enter the NFL Draft or not. Spartan QB Brian Hoyer, a …

Texas had the No 1 ranking in the BSC Standings, but they lost it due to the defeat that they suffered against Texas Tech and later the Sooners finished as the Big 12 champions after they defeated Missouri for the title and earned a pass for the BCS National Championship. In the Tostitos Fiesta Bowl, Texas had to face Ohio State and they tried to prove everyone that they were a good team and a possible squad to win the championship. And almost at the end of the game when everything seemed impossible and they were losing the game, Cosby caught a pass from quarter back Colt McCoy and run for 26 yards to convert a touchdown with only 16 left seconds in the clock, giving Texas a victory of 24-21 over the Buckeyes. “We knew with the pride they’ve got and the tough games they’ve had in the BCS, they’d come in here and play tough and play great,” Texas coach Mack Brown said about Ohio State “There were two minutes and five seconds left and we had two timeouts,” He added. “For our offense, th …

Customer Review: Ok toy, well made.
This is a well made toy and holds up to abuse.. The mat is very thick. It does keep falling off the hooks that hang over the door though. My boys like it but loose interest very quickly. You just keep throwing the ball to the same spot over and over so not much excitement. The sound is good and so is voice, wish it had volume control though!
Customer Review: Great toy for football fans!
We got this toy for my 7 yr old son for Christmas. He has the door slammers baseball game and really likes it. We have had trouble with getting the baseball game to stay attached to the door so we had put nails up on the door and just hung the game on them. The same thing works for this toy also. My son really enjoys playing with this and enjoys all the different sayings the toy says, etc. I’d recommend this for active kids who enjoy football.
