Maryland-Boston College Game Pictures

The Washington Times: Maryland’s season hits new nadir with 28-17 loss to Boston College

Mother Nature threw everything at us today. We had rain, wind, sleet and snow. When I went down to the field twenty minutes before the game, I didn't take many photos of warm ups and my game shots were down as well as I tried my best to keep me and my camera dry. Next year I invest in good rain gear. In seven years of having season tickets in Section 19, I think I sat through four rain games. This year there have been five home games featuring rain. I ended up going back upstairs to the media room for good at half with Maryland trailing 21-3. So here's what I got. I actually had fun taking pictures during the snow as I thought it made a cool back drop.

No complaints because despite the weather woes, I am enjoying the opportunity I have to shoot Maryland Football from field level. It's what I've wanted to do since I started this blog. I'm just wishing for a beautiful Fall afternoon next Saturday when Maryland closes out its home schedule vs Virginia because there is nothing like a college football game on a nice, crisp Saturday.

Click a photo for the entire sequence.
