Football: Virginia Tech at Marshall (2011.09.24)

Took a quick ride to find some newspapers on the morning of the gameday. Somehow I ended up in Ohio. Drove back to the tailgate through Huntington and took some pictures of the town itself. Small town, nice, friendly folks.

I must add that during the game I was taking pictures with sun in front of me. If you have ever tried to take a picture with a sun as a “background” you know what I am talking about. Thus, you’ll see that most of the photos are grainy and dark. Not much I could do about that, that is where home teams usually put the visitors seating section. Facing the sun and in the corner of the stadium. I am not excusing the poor quality of photos, I’m just explaining. I could have done better, but, hey! we had a great tailgate and in my book that is all that matters.
