Inside the Huddle: A photographic journal of Cal football

Note from blogger:

Former Cal players Tom Schneider and Cory Smitts have put together a book that is a photographic journal that encompasses Cal football. It covers pretty much everything that goes on behind the scenes, including team meetings, practice, rehab, team meals, traveling, locker room before/after games, weight lifting, etc. The Contra Costa times had a write up about it a few weeks ago; you can read it here. Excerpt from the article:

“The former Cal quarterback and kicker missed all last season with injuries. While their teammates were taking reps at practice, Smits and Schneider were taking pictures. Smits had shoulder surgery before the season, and Schneider suggested that he spend the year chronicling the 2007 version of Cal football. Schneider then joined him on the sidelines after suffering a season-ending leg injury while warming up for the season-opener against Tennessee. The duo thought snapping photos would be a fun way to pass the time at practice while giving players some memories of the season. But after taking what Smits estimates was about 5,000 pictures, it turns out there were some pretty good ones in the memory card. That got Smits thinking bigger. The result: A coffee table book that just went on sale called "Inside the Huddle: A photographic journal of Cal football."

Here’s a link to the website for the book.
