20120107 - BBVA Compass Bowl - AM FM  (21)

01/07/12 – BBVA Compass Bowl

Coverage of the 2011-12 college football bowl season by Envision Sports Media drew to a close this Saturday as contributing photographers Andy Mitchell and Frank Mattia traveled to Birmingham, Alabama to be along the sidelines at Legion Field for match up between Southern Methodist University and the University of Pittsburgh in the 2012 BBVA Compass Bowl.

The Mustangs surprised many of the 29,726 in attendance for one of the final post-season contests of the new year, using a convincing blend of defense – including seven sacks of Pitt’s quarterback – and a  high-octane offense to defeat the Panthers 28-6 and hand a Conference USA team its first win in three attempts at the BBVA Compass Bowl.

Here, Andy and Frank both provide Envision Sports Media viewers a collection of images each captured during the course of SMU’s win.  As always, all materials included within this post remain the sole property of Andy Mitchell, Frank Mattia and Envision Sports Media and may not be reproduced an any format without the explicit permission of all three parties.  Such inquiries can be made by email Jason Roberts directly at jason@envisionsportsmedia.com.

AM-2011 CFA Bowl  (14)_659

12/31/11 – 2011 Chick Fil A Bowl Game

Bowl games in the state of Florida weren’t the kindest to us this post-season (first time in our three-year existence we’ve been shut out), but Envision Sports Media still made positive inroads in late December, with Frank and Robyn Mattia and Brian Church not only onsite for the 2011 Music City Bowl on December 30, but Frank and contributor Andy Mitchell also making this year the first ESM has ever been allowed on the sidelines for the annual Chick Fil A Bowl on New Year’s Eve in Atlanta, Georgia.

Celebrating this special accomplishment, Andy provides ESM readers with a collection of images highlighting all the action from this year’s game, a contest which pitted Auburn University against up-and-coming ACC powerhouse, the University of Virginia.

Despite being shorthanded at both quarterback and running back – the Tigers did not play Clint Moseley (ankle injury) or Michael Dyer (suspension) – Auburn nevertheless purred on the offensive side of the ball, defeating the Cavaliers by a score of 43-24.

NCAA Regional Volleyball

12/09/11 – NCAA Division One Women’s Volleyball Sweet 16 – Kentucky Regional

A bit of luck for Envision Sports Media Friday, December 9, as contributing photographer Andy Mitchell was cleared to cover the NCAA Division One Women’s Volleyball Sweet 16 Regional in Lexington, Kentucky, and there captured the action as arguably the top four teams in this year’s tournament – UCLA, Kentucky, Penn State and Texas – all battled for the right to advance to the Elite Eight and one step closer to a berth in the 2011 National Championship Game in San Antonio, Texas.

Here, Andy provides ESM readership with images from both matches played Friday, where UCLA took on and defeated Penn State 3-0 and Texas downed host Kentucky 3-1.
