UGA vs. UK: the worst

It happens every season. At some point I have to have my worst game shooting-wise and it happened two weeks ago when the Kentucky Wildcats came to town. It was one of those games where most of the major plays happened on the opposite side of the field from me and the ones that came my way I screwed up or got blocked. The game was also the Bulldogs' worse loss of the season considering they gift wrapped the win for the Wildcats with multiple interceptions and fumbles. They seemed to have the game in the bag until the second half turnovers opened the door for a Kentucky comeback.

It was a disappointing game to wrap up the regular season of shooting college football. I missed the exciting win over Georgia Tech the next week because I dared to take a few days off for a vacation home to Alabama. I have to put my terrible shoot behind me as I look ahead to the biggest game I will shoot this year, and probably the most important one I've ever shot in the SEC Championship this Saturday. The #1 Florida Gators and the #2 Alabama Crimson Tide have an epic rematch in another battle for a spot in the BCS title game. This is an exact duplicate of what happened last year only this time bama is no underdog. I expect a nail-biter that comes down to the wire. I hope my Alma Mater can take down the Gators this round although I must admit after such a weak shoot my last time on the sidelines I'm much more concerned with capturing the important moments of the game.
