Critique: NC:

Though Sports Illustrated said they considered but evidently decided not to publish one of my photos back during football season, the local newspaper put together a commemorative issue and used my photo for a 2 page spread. The magazine is currently for sale. They also have it online via an e-book link.

I agree, then I saw the only one on the sideline NOT watching the play was the Ref.

Wonderful timing.

Best shot I've seen in quite awhile! Had this been 2 majors this would have gotten some serious attention. Congrats.

Perhaps you are correct. Maybe next season I'll ask the RB to do a flip against Baylor. Or wait, Sam Houston will end the season against Texas A&M. That would be even better (if they can get to the goal line).
