College Football – Florida State @ Maryland 11/20/2010

Florida State Seminoles, Maryland Football

The evening of Saturday, November 20, 2010, the Maryland Terrapins hosted the Florida State Seminoles in an ACC night game.

The Seminoles held off the Terps, eliminating Maryland from the ACC’s Atlantic Division title chase.

I went to the game with my wife and some friends, meeting up with 100 other fans for a very large (and fun) tailgate party.

My time there was short as I was lucky enough to get on the field during pre-game warm-ups thanks to friends at Florida State.

Enjoy the pictures from the sidelines, the stands and even a few from early at the tailgate (including some of the 1,020 beverages that were in the bed of a truck, packed in ice).

It was a fun evening catching up with some great old friends from near and far, as well as some newer friends that we’re really enjoying spending time with. Thanks to everyone who was there. Enjoy the album and comment if you have a favorite shot.

It was an awkward evening at FedExField on Monday night.

Excitement about QB Donovan McNabb’s contract extension news caused a buzz, especially under ESPN’s Monday Night Football lights. That quickly gave way to post-bye week astonishment as the Eagles scored points by the bunch. I saw Eagles QB Michael Vick, from the press box, put on one of the best individual efforts ever by a quarterback.

Vick was 20 of 28 for 333 yards and 4 touchdowns passing. He also added 80 yards and 2 more scores on the ground as the Eagles shocked the Redskins and their home fans with a 59 – 28 road victory.

Here are a few of the limited shots I took this week, prior to covering Twitter duty for Redskins.com on @RedskinsGameday:
