2007 BCS Championship Pictures
|
My company was the pre-game sponsor of the BCS Championship and Fiesta Bowl. As part of the pre-game activities for the BCS game, I was charged with inviting military veterans from WWII, the Korean War, Vietnam War, Op Desert Storm, Op Enduring Freedom and Op Iraqi Freedom to be recognized on the field prior to the coin toss. While it was great to be on the field with Senator McCain, three Medal of Honor recipients and three other military veterans, it was even better to be sitting in the first row for the dominating victory by the Gators over Ohio State! Not as good a game as the OK/BSU game, but still worth the trip out to Glendale.
Sorry there aren't a ton of game photos - I couldn't take my regular camera due to security limitations, so most of the game pictures were blurry. A few good photos though of action down near the SW corner of the end zone where we were seated.
