Florida Gators kicker Chas Henry (17) celebrates after kicking a 37-yard field goal to win the game as the Florida Gators beat the Georgia Bulldogs 34-31 in overtime at Everbank Field on Saturday, October 30, 2010 in Jacksonville, Fl.
Its the annual Georgia/Florida game, Formerly known as the Worlds Largest Outdoor Cocktail Party. It was my fourth time since 2005, and it came down to the last play. Best college game I've seen in person.
Tale of this road trip after the jump.
This is what we do: We get in the car, we drive for six hours. We get to the hotel, get dinner and Go to sleep. We get up, we get in the car, we drive to the stadium and work for 12 hours. Then we get in the car, get dinner and go to the hotel. Then we get back in the car and go home. It doesn't matter the city, we don't have much time to play, if at all. We barely have time to eat.
Usually the game is a media nightmare on the sidelines. Not so much this year, a you can tell by the

I shoot with 3 cameras for this reason. There's always a wide around my neck for this shot. I prefocus it and leave it on aperture priority so i can just get the camera up in a hurry in case something important happens right in front of me. Like this one.

The frame before this was better. It also backfocused. Murphy's Law, i guess.

My biggest mistake(s)? Forgetting kneepads. Big problem. In the first half, I chased the team up and down the field, missing A LOT. In the second half, I let Georgia come to me and it worked a lot better. Overtime? That was a different story. I chose the wrong spot when Georgia had the ball and missed the interception. I moved to the sideline from the endzone when Florida had the ball, assuming rightfully so that it would be a field goal to win it and there would be giant jube right in front of me.
I just didnt count on a radio guy running out there to celebrate with the kids.
