Code Blue!

I don't really understand football, but the aggressive, hard-hitting side of my personality has really taken a liking to the game recently. I'm trying to learn the ways of the game, but I still don't understand many of the rules or strategies. One thing is for certain though--I'm a Tennessee Titan fan! When I hear "Touchdoowwwwnnnn Titans!", one would think that I was one of the Titan's cheerleaders!

In honor of the upcoming 2009 football season, and the Tennessee Titan's 50th Anniversary, I'd like to give a little background information as to what the Titans were able to accomplish last season, and how it relates to the beautiful photos below. (Skip to photos now if you're not interested in football, or my reasoning for taking these shots, and you just want to look at "pretty pictures").

Last season, the Titans made it to the NFL playoffs (second round to be exact) and were reaching for a chance at playing in--and hopefully winning--the Superbowl. While on their journey to the playoffs, the Titans, and Nashville, were spotlighted as the home team in a Monday Night Football game against the Indianapolis Colts. It was Tennessee's first home Monday Night Football game in almost 5 years, so it was kind of a big deal here in Music City.

Titan pride was everywhere and Code Blue was in full force! Flags were flying on car windows, people were covered in blue body-paint, and the Shelby Street Pedestrian Bridge in downtown Nashville temporarily turned the lights blue for some incredible and rare, photo ops.

I'm very pleased with the way the photos turned out--it definitely made the 30 degree weather, and brisk wind, totally worth it! Unfortunately, the Titans didn't reach the Superbowl last season, but hopefully we can get there this season!! GO TITANS!
