Skywatch Friday-Terrell water tank

Hard to take photos for Skywatch when the sky is always such a clear pretty blue. All right, the sky isn't always clear blue, but it was last Saturday. This was taken from the press box of Memorial Stadium.

Wrap it up

A few more pictures from Jamie Foxx day last Saturday. If you missed any of the other pictures, click on the Jamie Foxx tag at the bottom of this post.

Tricia has her latest story, this one about Gilbert Willie Jr. on the Tribune site.

A view from the press box


The Ice House band had a dance contest at the end of their set. Remember the girl that was dancing on the side? There she is on the left. The Lady with the red scarf is Mayor of a Texas town, but I didn't write down which one.


The football player won.

The Tiger band.

My week 3 NFL picks looked more like week 1 than week 2 thank goodness. I finished the week 12-4, bringing my total 33-15 for the year. I may be wrong, but I think Cliff finished the week a respectable 10-6. I'll take coke please.

Frank Gores injury was my downfall in fantasy football this week. I lost by 6 points. My record is 2-1.

Tiger Up!

Only one more day till the Terrell Tigers football team plays its first home game of the year. Lets make sure these stands are filled full of Tiger boosters. Tigers are off to a great start, time to show some support. The Tigers play at Memorial Stadium, Google Ben Gill Park for directions. Kickoff is 7:30PM.

I took this picture before the rain started last Thursday. I needed to see what nice sky's looked like.



I will have my NFL picks tomorrow. I will be looking to improve my 12-4 start.

Skywatch Friday-Sunset

This picture is from last weekend, the same night as the rainbow post but looking in the opposite direction. The clouds above Memorial Stadium were dark, to the west the sun was shining as it was setting.

TFD vs. TPS

Click on each picture for a larger version, and check out the youtube link to the right for short clips of the game. I was playing with the settings on my camera so these didn't turn out as nice as I would have liked.

The Terrell Tigerettes performed at halftime.

Terrell Fire Dept vs. Terrell Police Services

Saturday morning the Terrell Fire Department took on the Terrell Police Services in their annual friendly flag football game. Admission to the game was an unwrapped toy for K-Toys for Kids. The Fire Department's team is in the red running over the TPS. I will have a couple more tomorrow. I added a few video clips of the game, check the youtube link on the right. More information about K-Toys for Kids can be found here.

Lets get fired up

The Terrell Tiger mascot and cheerleaders get the home crowd fired up before Friday nights game. Terrell next plays Seagoville Friday night at Memorial Stadium in Terrell. I will not be able to attend that game, so this is my last football related pic for a while.

Terrell Tigers unable to go 2-0

Terrell lost a tough game tonight to Paris North Lamar. I know football is King in Texas, but these are High School kids. I wish people would remember that.

Terrell Tigers scrimmage against Sulphur Springs

A few more pictures from Friday nights scrimmage against Sulphur Springs.





Season starts Friday night, hope to see you there.

Terrell Tigers scrimmage against Sulphur Springs

Friday night the Terrell Tigers hosted the Sulphur Springs Wildcats in a football scrimmage at Memorial Stadium. This served as a tune up before the first game of the season next week against RL Turner at Memorial Stadium in Terrell, game time is 7:30. The Terrell Tribune has a story about how the Tigers fared in the scrimmage. I have a few more pics I will put up tomorrow.

High School football season

For High Schools that had a Spring practice, today is the first day of football practice for the upcoming year. Going to a high school football game is on my list of things to do this year. Last time I went to a high school football game was when I was in high school back in 1982. Terrell will hold a scrimmage with Sulphur Springs on August 22nd. The box office should be buzzing on August 29th, the night of the first home game against RL Turner. You can find the complete schedule here.

Terrell Lady Tigers

Last week I posted a few pictures of the guys soccer team. Tonight is the ladies turn. Terrell played their final home game of the year and lost to Forney 0-1. I am again practicing with the different types of pictures I can take.

Terrell Memorial Stadium

Memorial Stadium is home to the Terrell Tigers football and soccer teams. I think this holds maybe 7000 people including the visitor stands. There was a bond proposal a few years ago to replace this old outdated stadium, but it failed. I must say with the cost of building supplies going up by the day, maybe a mistake was made. The stadium is clearly out of date.

Highland Park Scots

Members of the Highland Park Scots football team meet Friday evening before taking on the Terrell Tigers at Terrell Memorial Stadium.
