SMU football 2011
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the first four games I have shot of the SMU Mustangs during the 2011 season. So far they are off to a 4-1 start and are receiving votes for the Top 25 after their 40-33 victory over TCU. 
SMU v. Marshall
November 20, 2010 – The Mustangs defeated the Marshall Thundering Herd at Gerald J. Ford Stadium 31-17 to become bowl eligible for the second year in a row and to stay atop the Western Division of Conference USA.
SMU v TCU
SMU played TCU for the Iron Skillet at Ford Stadium in Dallas on Friday, September 24, 2010. In a hard fought game in front of a record crowd of 35,481 at Ford Stadium the Horned Frogs took control in the second half and won the game 41-24 to retain the Iron Skillet for another year.

SMU v. Texas Tech
I travelled to Lubbock to watch SMU’s season opener against the Texas Tech Red Raiders. It was a very hot day, but I really enjoyed the atmosphere at Jones AT&T Stadium. Loud crowd and a good game that came down to the final possession with Tech hanging on for a 35-27 victory.

SMU Basketball – 2nd half of season
It was an interesting second half of the season for the Mustangs. The team showed improvement, and after losing a 24 point 2nd half lead to the UAB Blazers the team bounced back to finish 8th in Conference USA with a 7-9 conference mark (14-17 overall). They saw their first conference wins against the Memphis Tigers and Houston Cougars during the conference schedule.
Here are some of my favorite pictures from the 2nd half of the season.
Amanda – Sports Illustrated Cheerleader of the Week – December 24, 2009
I was lucky enough to be allowed to shoot an SMU pom squad member, Amanda Green, for Cheerleader of the Week feature for Sport Illustrated. The feature was put on on si.com on December 24, 2009 to coincide with the SMU football team’s first bowl game appearance in 25 years in the Hawaii Bowl. You can see the pictures and Amanda’s 20 questions at the following site: http://sportsillustrated.cnn.com/2009/extramustard/12/22/cheerleader.of.the.week/index.html. Here are some of my favorite pictures (some of which didn’t make it on si.com) and some outtakes. I hope you like them.
