3rd and 8

This is American college football in its second week of a new season. The University of Miami Hurricanes plays at home hosting Florida International University (FIU - Golden Panthers,) a newly emerging competing university among more established UM - Canes, University of Florida (UF- Gators) and Florida State University (FSU - Seminoles) in the state of Florida. The stadium is the Miami Orange Bowl, on its last leg of a long life as it will be demolished to become a baseball stadium for professional baseball teams. FIU is white, on the attack and Miami is Orange, on defense. This is the third try and FIU needs to advance the ball 8 yards (past the orange marker to the right) to keep possession of the ball and try to score. FIU lost today with a score of 23 - 9 Canes win! When you go to a college football game, the action is not only in the field, but it is everywhere in the stadium. I took about 4 dozens shots all of which deserve to be posted, but this is the only one that makes it. There is a guy (student) in front of me that was texting the entire second half and I have some shots of his cell phone's screen flirting with his girl friend in the dorm... Yes, I can read his text. In other words, lots of fun for a Saturday at the ball game. Go Canes!
