Marshall University football vs. FIU
Dec 2, 2019 08:42:03 #
After walking the sidelines for 43 years, this was my last game as an employee of Marshall University. I am retiring at the end of January.
These are from a cold and rainy game with FIU. Marshall won in overtime.
I may show up for a few games next season, doing freelance work.

Fantastic Photos, I really enjoyed them. Thanks for sharing.
Enjoy Your Retirement.
A Young Man I have known since He was a Young Kid "Devontay Taylor #58" plays on the FIU Team. He is an Awesome Young Man, and graduated from Our Local High School J W Mitchell High School here in Trinity, Fla about 25 miles N. W. of Tampa.
And I too graduated from FIU, many moons ago.
I am nearing 80 Years of age been on the Local High School Football Sidelines attempting to capture memories for several Years. And I too shall hang it up on trying to capture High School Football. Old legs can't keep up with the line of scrimmage or get to heck outta the way to keep from getting run over when a play bounces out of bounds. Plus old brittle bones in back ache lugging the Nikon D3s & 70-200mm lens.
Gonna stick with Ladies/Boys Basketball, Baseball/Softball where I can sit My fat butt down attempting to capture memories for Our Youth, and their Parents. LOL
Have a wonderful Holiday Season.

Great work and I am sure you will be missed on the sidelines. Think of all the wonderful memories you have created. Happy retirement.

Thanks! I will still shoot, from time to time, Marshall sports and for the university when they need extra help and special events. I can't go up and down the sidelines like I used to but I still cover more ground at a game than other photographers there at half my age. But my legs also get tired carrying my D5 and 400 f2.8 lens.
You have a great holiday also.

I do have memories of up and down years on the field.
I will miss the other photographers who I have gotten to know over the years.
I started shooting Marshall sports as a student in 1973. After I graduated I spent a year and a half at a small newspaper and came to this job in 1978.
It has been a very good job and I still plan to shoot some games and other events for the university. Don't think I could give up photography for good.
