Cats victorius in muddy litterbox

I had a great opportunity over the weekend to head on down to Bozeman (one of my former homes) and take some shots of this year's "Brawl of the Wild."  Saturday, was the 105th meeting of the good ol' match-up between the Montana Grizzlies and Montana State Bobcats, and it was definitely the place to be.  It was my first opportunity to be on the sidelines for something of that scale and it something to see.  The game was low-scoring and pretty uneventful, but I couldn't complain about being down in front.  Unfortunately, the Griz failed to get anything rolling and the Cat's just kept on keepin' on and the Griz lost.  I'm sure if you were interested at all you know all the highlights by now anyways.

However, some not-so-glorious highlights for me were:

• Travis Lulay kicked mud all over my camera while diving into the sidelines.
• Dan Carpenter almost kicked a ball into me when I walked too close to that net thingy he practices on.
• And finally, Governor Schweitzer almost blew my head off with that cannon deal that shoots the t-shirts into the stands.

Dang it was fun.

I guess you never really left the battlefield did you Denny. Always someone out for you and your cameras. Dont sweat it though, next year will be great with the Cat-Griz game in Missoula, especially when i will be able to make it to photograph. hopefully the next story i decide to do wont have an important segment lie with the Cat-Griz game.
