So this update is a little over due...but let me explain to you what I have been doing for the past few days...
Of course I have been bouncing around everywhere with like no internet for the whole break and it has been pretty annoying, but Wednesday me and some friends decided to start a gaming marathon to bring in the new year by playing borderlands until we beat it. So we start off and learn that you have to have one xbox 360 per person playing, and we only had 2 (there were 3 of us). So, we concoct a brilliant plan to go to gamestop and buy a 360 used, and then return it when we are finished the next day for a no questions asked refund. While we are out we rent Borderlands from Blockbuster.
So we get back and we hook up the xbox and it red-ring-of-death's on us. We take it back to gamestop; they have no more used 360s, so we just buy an arcade version an be done with it. Then we go back and get ready to play, and the 3rd Borderlands disk (the one we rented from Blockbuster) is really scratched, so we can't use that disk. We also check while we are at my friend's house that we are staying at, and see that the internet isn't working to update the new xbox, so we have to go back into town one more time...
We head to Walmart to buy a new Borderlands disk, and then to my other friend's house (the one that has been buying the xbox and the game and all) to update the thing so that we can play. However, when we get there, we realize that we don't have a controller to navigate the menus to update the xbox. So, after calling ourselves stupid for a while and about going out to get another controller (since we had left all the ones we had at the house we were staying at) we try to use a usb keyboard to control the 360...and it worked! So then, about 5 hours after our adventure started, we were finally able to play...and what an epic night of gaming it was...
Anyway, on to the Music City Bowl. We won this one, but I still don't really have much to say; I do have a lot of pictures though, and so I guess I will just jump right in there with those. Sorry that I haven't posted this as I have had the pictures ready for 3 days now, but with all the New Year's festivities and no internet and all I am doing the best I can lol.
The night before the bowl game there was a battle of the bands in downtown Nashville where both the bands and cheerleaders when and play songs/did cheers back and forth at each other. I think it was pretty fun and I enjoyed it though I did about get kicked in the head by the TigerBand dancers about 8 times. Anyway, here are the pictures, enjoy!
Their mascot was a very tall fellow...
They also had a dance off between the school's mascots. I think we won (cause we are just that awesome). 
It was pretty cold at the game - it was snowing the whole second half. Sure not like heavy accumulating powder snow, but it was 24 degrees and there were white flakes coming down. But we made it though and pulled out the win which was really good. 
This is a pretty cool series of photos here I think. 
This one I am adding to my portfolio, really love this shot. 
Rumor is the band is getting pretty shiny (literally shiny) drums next year and I am pretty excited about that haha. I think it will make for really cool pictures. 
I have been wanting a good picture of a handoff all season long and I finally got one here. Spiller is out of focus, but Parker is sharp and you can really see the determination on his face. I really love this shot too. 
This was after a fumble that followed a punt by us. It was really good that we recovered this, and this drive put us on top when we scored. 
This guy was really old school; he was shooting with film. I have thought about what it would take to shoot sports with film and what it must have been like back in the day and it is just crazy to me to think about that. But anyway just was interesting I thought. 
I know that I said I wasn't really happy with the pictures I got at the ACC Championship, but I really liked the photos I got at the Music City Bowl. I think it was definitely an awesome end to a great football season. So, hope everyone has a happy new year and that school starts off good for everyone. I will be posting some on the basketball game we had the other night probably Monday, so until then,
