For Sports Fans -- off topic
I just can't resist. For those of you who are sports fans, even more so hockey fans, check out your regional edition of FoxSports at 7pm. College Hockey: Michigan State v. Michigan
This is arguably the biggest rivalry in college hockey -- and it's being played OUTDOORS in Spartan Stadium. Expected attendance is 72,000+. As I type, I'm sitting in the press box watching the ice being prepped by the zamboni and listening to the Spartan Marching Band. This is absolutley amazing -- I wish I could have gotten my digital camera in here so I could up a picture for you all to see. Sorry for the off topic post, but damn, this is just too cool. GO STATE! -Craig |

Okay -- I gotta tell you, this match was amazing. Loudest darn hockey match I've ever been to -- coldest too
 I really can't express the sight of seeing hockey played outdoors in front of 74,554 people. Absolutley amazing. Even sold two pics to the AP -- hot damn. I'll post them when I get clearance -- should be tongiht. -Craig |

Okay, these are greatly reduced in detail, but here are two pics. The first I took just before faceoff. The second, I took Friday while the crews were on lunch. I wish I could put up the pic the AP bought, but they won't give me rights. But it's almost identical to the faceoff shot.
Again, I know this doesn't mean didly to most of you, but it was damn cool. -Craig |

Considering it's been on CBS Sportsline, ESPN, FoxSports and others on the net not to mention in various papers, not enough. They had their own guy there, but I guess his faceoff shot showed all the camera flashes going off which reflected off the ice pretty bad, I took mine just before they dropped the puck. Advantage of having a high quality digital camera (brand new Olympus E10). Also helps having a most wonderful wife to bring said camera after I forgot my credentials and then got them straightened out.
I've had roughly a dozen and a half of my pics bought by AP and/or Reuters -- not to mention some video footage here and there.. Looks good on the ol' resume. -Craig Last edited by audiyoda; 10-07-2001 at 11:37 PM. |
