Cowboys/Redskins - 11/18/2007

My Dad took me to the Cowboys/Redskins game on Sunday (thanks, Dad!), and wow, did we have a good game to watch. In the slideshow below, you will see some pictures that I snapped with the camera on my phone. They're not bad at full size.

Here are some additional observations about the game experience.

The weather was almost perfect. Actually, the weather was perfect. The air just doesn't circulate in Texas Stadium.

We had some Redskins fans near us. This was no longer the case once the score reached 28-16.

After the sun went down, you could see a lot of flashes all around the stadium as people were taking pictures. It was like being on the inside of a giant Christmas tree that has chaser lights.

I guess the Redskins didn't get the memo about this receiver on the Cowboys roster who's pretty good. His name is T.O., and he was good for 8 catches, 173 yards, and 4 touchdowns. Ouch!

The perspective from the end zone is actually pretty good. You can see the play as either the quarterback or the safeties would (although a bit farther removed). One thing that is true regardless of where you sit is that you don't have the TV camera to find the ball for you. At times I would lock in on a particular player (usually Chris Cooley because he regularly smoked Roy Williams) and miss where the ball was.

My voice is still a few notches lower than normal from all of the yelling. Oh well. That's a small price to pay.

As promised, here is the slide show. Click on any picture to see it full sized.



Until next time...
