Photo Essay: Dance Bids Sealed

[awhom111]

I am always a sucker for all of the celebrations at this time of year, so I took screen captures at the conclusion of every one of the conference tournaments that give automatic berths to the NCAA tournament as well as the end of the Cornell-Harvard game (they did not know for sure that they were in the tournament at this point). Enjoy:

This is really impressive and very cool. Well done! (That said, I hope we lower the boom on each and every one of those teams!)

Thank you. I saw a lot of the final moments of the conference tournaments last year, so this year I wanted to make sure that I caught them all. I had a few moments of sweating things out when multiple games seemed to be finishing close to one another.

Very cool idea! Not that I am asking you to do more work, but I think an even cooler way to do this would be to get a 5 second gif of the end of each game, just to see the celebrations happening all over the screen. But that would be a ton of gif-making.

Thanks for sharing.
Do you have too much time on your hands, as I do at the present? :D

That would be more cool. Some of the television channels were less than helpful with good celebration footage (see Conference USA). Of course people would rather see the coaches shake hands than students storm the court or players in a dogpile. There were a few cases where I went back and forth between various screencaps trying to decide which ones were less bad.
