SMU Basketball 2009-10
I haven’t been posting pictures after each game, so I thought I would post some of my favorites from this year so far.

SMU v. UTEP 11-14-09
SMU held on to defeat the UTEP Miners by a score of 35-31. It took as stop on 4th and goal for the Miners, but the win made the Mustangs bowl eligible and has them sitting atop the West of Conference USA.
SMU v. Rice
November 7, 2009 – It was Homecoming at SMU as the Mustangs took on the Rice Owls. SMU took at early lead but were soon down to the winless Owls. It wasn’t until Sterling Moore blocked a Rice field goal attempt and Bryan McCann returned it for a touchdown on the last play of the first half that SMU would take the lead for good. It wasn’t easy, but the Mustangs were able to hold out for a 31-28 win. Next week the Mustangs face the UTEP Miners, and a victory will make the Mustangs bowl eligible!

Houston Dynamo v. LA Galaxy
October 18, 2009 – Being a Manchester United fan from back in the 80s when I lived in England I took a trip down to Houston to shoot former Manchester United captain David Beckham in a match-up of the top two teams in the MLS Western Conference. It was David Beckham’s first time to play in Houston, so there were lots of photographers, and it was hard to get a good spot to take pictures. The game was a hard fought match that ended in a 0-0 tie.
SMU v. Navy
October 17, 2009 – Dallas, Texas - SMU battled Navy for the Frank Gansz Trophy. President & Mrs. Bush were on hand for the coin toss, the Navy Seals parachuted in the game ball and there was a fly by from three F-18s during the National Anthem. The game lived up to the hype with Navy and SMU battling into overtime. Navy came out on top 38-35.
SMU v. East Carolina
October 10, 2009 – Dallas, Texas – SMU faced off against the defending Conference USA champion East Carolina Pirates. East Carolina went into the game as the favorites, but it was SMU who ended up on top 28-21 in a back and forth game that wasn’t decided until the last minutes of the fourth quarter. The victory sees SMU go 2-0 in conference for the first time since 1986 when SMU was 3-0 in the old Southwest Conference.

Battle for the Iron Skillet – SMU v. TCU
October 3, 2009 – Fort Worth, Texas – SMU travelled to Fort Worth to take on the 11th ranked TCU Horned Frogs in the annual battle for the Iron Skillet. In a rain soaked game, SMU forced three first half turnovers and scored the first touchdown of the game to take a 7-0 lead, but then TCU scored 25 unanswered points to put the game out of reach. The final score was TCU 39- SMU 14.
FC Dallas beats Real Salt Lake
Saturday, August 26, 2009 – Frisco, Texas
FC Dallas continued their good form at home with a 3-0 victory over Real Salt Lake. Jeff Cunningham scored two goals to move into a tie with Conor Casey atop the Golden Boot standings at 15 goals a piece. This is particularly amazing considering Jeff only had 1 goal midway through the season. Cunningham’s first goal came in the 5th minute with the assist from Dave van den Bergh.
David Ferreira doubled Dallas’ lead in the 10th minute as van den Bergh put a nice ball through the defense to a charging Ferreira. The assist marked van den Bergh’s 10th on the season tying him for 2nd in the MLS and marking his career high.
Cunningham scored again in the 87th minute with a blast from about 25 yards out.
A good performance from FC Dallas from start to finish. The next game is Wednesday at the Cotton Bowl against the New England Revolution.

SMU v. Stephen F. Austin
Saturday, September 5, 2009 – Dallas, Texas: SMU defeated Stephen F. Austin for their first opening game victory since 2000. The victory against SFA was not a pretty one with the game still in doubt well into the second half. With two minutes left, and SMU up 24-23 SFA’s kicker missed a field goal, and on the subsequent possession Miami transfer RB Shawbrey McNeal broke a 49 yard touchdown run to preserve the victory for SMU.
On a day when SMU’s passing attack was not very effective McNeal, who was granted permission by the NCAA to play this year only the day before, rushed for 158 yards on 19 carries and scored one touchdown.
DALLAS COWBOYS v. SAN FRANCISCO 49ERS
I was lucky enough to get to shoot my first Dallas Cowboys game at the new Cowboys Stadium on Saturday, August 29, 2009. I put on my red NFL vest and made my way to the sideline to shoot my first NFL game. I got there early to get some shots of warmups and the five hours I was down on the field absolutely flew by. The Cowboys lost the game, but it was a great experience.
Hope you like the pictures.

FC Dallas beats Houston Dynamo
August 6, 2009 – FC Dallas played in state rivals Houston Dynamo at Pizza Hut Park looking to keep their three game home win streak going. FC Dallas started the match in attack mode looking to build on their 6-0 victory a week earlier against Kansas City.
Jeff Cunningham earned a penalty for being taken down in the box in the 13th minute only to miss wide left. That made Cunningham 1 for 3 in penalty conversions in the last three games. He redeemed himself in the 20th minute with a shot from just outside the box that Houston keeper Brad Onstad was only able to get a finger to as it whizzed past him into the net.
FC Dallas surprisingly continued to dominate play through much of the first half and created a few more opportunities, but were not able to capitalize. Houston’s Brian Ching was subbed out at halftime for Kei Kamara, but the Houston offense was not able to create any real chances in the 2nd half as FC Dallas held on for the victory.
It was FC Dallas’ 4th home victory in a row and only the second time FC Dallas had ever beaten the Houston Dynamo in MLS competition.

FC Dallas crushes Kansas City 6-0
FC Dallas crushes Kansas City 6-0
FC Dallas must have been wondering where the offense was going to come from after the sold striker Kenny Cooper to 1860 Munich earlier in the week, but they didn’t have to wait long for an answer. Jeff Cunningham scored the first of his four goals in the 39th minute which was followed three minutes later by the first of David Ferreira’s two goals.
The halftime score was the same as the previous weekend, but in that game FC Dallas conceded four second half goals to lose to the Colorado Rapids. FC Dallas were out to make sure that would not happen again. They dominated play in the second half and got three more goals from Cunningham starting with one from the penalty spot in the 66th minute and then again in the 75th minute and 89th minute and one more from Ferreira in the 78th.
The margin of victory was the largest in club history and the six goals tied for the most in club history. All in all, a dominant performance by FC Dallas.
