ROCK M PHOTO GALLERY

Once again, we at Rock M Nation have luxury of one of the best photographers you'll ever see (and he's only an amateur) as a friend of the site, Mr. Bill Carter.  For a bit, put aside your disappointment at last night's results, and look back in awe at some of the shots from Missouri-Nebraska 2009, shots of both the plays and the human beings involved.

that, and the top one...

…of Moore’s feet splashing the water up, were both freaking outstanding. He was saying last night that the rain gear made so that he couldn’t really see if he was getting anything good. Um, I think he was getting pretty good stuff.

agreed

great shot.

and it was a bullshit call. they keep calling “hitting too hard” on everybody these days, it really screws up the game.

you guys might consider watermarking these, though. i normally watermark all the photos that come on CN because i found a couple other Husker sites would steal them and not give credit to the photographer.

BS Penalty

I’m pretty sure that picture of Lee getting tatooed is when Ebner got called for that personal foul. Terrible call and that picture proves it, IMO. That’s a textbook tackle, plain and simple – nothing flagrant about it.

yup...

…my best friend from high school, an OU fan, shot me a text message with two f-bombs in it after that call. Of course, the call on Suh on Mizzou’s final drive was almost as bad, so that kind of canceled out. My beef with the officiating comes from the four holding penalties (I still haven’t worked up the masochism necessary to watch my DVR copy of the game), just because holding is such a mushy call, and I saw two times where Jacquies Smith was hooked and tried to rush the QB sideways because he couldn’t free his arm from the guy blocking him…both no-calls. Of course, as they always say, you can almost literally call holding on every play, so even though they’re calling more holds this year (ahh, NCAA, you always know what your viewers want to see—more 2nd-and-20’s), there still is no clear line between what is and isn’t a hold. And when four drives are killed because of those calls, it makes you a very bitter person.

Can you image this game with a real grass field?

Especially pre-sand based profiles?
Would you have been able to tell Nebraska from Missouri players- they’d both be so covered in mud? Plus trying to handle a mud ball. Wow that would have been something to see. Of course then the field would have totally destroyed from the game.

Awesome pics.

Great pics

Obviously I wasn’t real happy about the result, and you can make a pretty good case that the weather kept us from really learning much about what either team is capable of…but…

I thought that was just an awesome environment to watch a game in. Not necessarily awesome as in “cool,” but the older meaning: awesome as in “awe-inspiring.” With no PA, and with no stupid jumbotron showing me kiss-cam and dumb-ass corporate synergy, it was like I walked into a time machine where I could see what football was like before money and technology took away a lot of the romance. I couldn’t imagine a more old-school setting for a game: nothing but two teams, two bands, 65,000 fans, and a giant M made out of rocks—if we’d have won, it would have been one of my favorite nights ever, and even with the loss, I’ll still remember the setting fondly years from now.

Amazing pics!

Visting from Cornnation, here. I don’t want to ‘start anything.’ I just saw the link from the f’riendly wager’ and thought I’d come check it out (hey, my dad is a Mizzou grad, among other family members). I have to say, this photographer should be plying his craft professionally. Any one of these matches what you’d see in Sports Illustrated.
