FOTOBALL: Roll War Dawgs!

I was raised an Auburn fan. I attended the University of Alabama. I am an anomaly that cries both "WAR EAGLE!" and "ROLL TIDE!" Now, I work in Athens, Ga. covering the Georgia Bulldogs. After 2 seasons of shooting almost every game the Bulldogs have played I have a certain fondness for them. When my Tigers or my Tide face-off with the Dawgs, there is not only a battle brewing on the field but inside me as well. I typically want the Bulldogs to win their games because it is much more fun to shoot a winning team and I want them to make it to a good bowl game so I can go too. However, when it is one of my two Alabama teams opposing them my loyalty and professional interests collide along with the players on the field. I've finally resolved that I can't lose. No matter which side walks away the winner, I'm a winner too! I like this arrangement.

Enjoy 25 shots of winning moments.
