Happy 90th Birthday, Dan Magill

Athens and University Legend Dan Magill turned 90.

I went to his birthday party.

Catching Up: John Isner

John Isner serves during his tennis camp at the University of Georgia's Dan Magill Tennis Center on Tuesday, July 6, 2010 in Athens, Ga. Isner set a Wimbeldon record last month with his five-set victory over Nicolas Mahut which lasted over 11 hours.

Wimbledon sensation John Isner came to UGA to hold his annual tennis clinic. The press availability - complete with TV cameras that insisted on getting in the way - lasted for about a 1/2 hour with him playing tennis with some sports anchor more than him playing with the kids.

I got so irritated that i went back to get the 400/2.8 out of the car.

Two Weeks of Tennis

Stanford's Mallory Burdette, bottom, is hugged by her sister as her teammates pile on as #8 Stanford beats #3 Florida 4-3 to win the NCAA Women's Tennis National Championships on Tuesday, May 25, 2010 at the Dan Magill Tennis Complex in Athens, Ga. Burdette won over Florida's Marrit Boonstra 6-4, 6-7 (4-7), 7-5.

Part of the reason i have been tardy at posting anything I've done lately was the NCAA 2010 Men's and Women's Tennis National Championships. (Or as Burks put it, two weeks of hell)

(Insisting on driving hours to see Dropkick Murphys is another reason but thats another story entirely. Someday I'll photograph them again)
