Funny - Our hopes of a run to the BCS title this year appears to have been fumbled by a shattered Harley in a roadside ditch in Northern Arkansas.

I truly feel sorry for this father - just imagine - his son is a new player and his first big A day game..... glad they didn’t release his name!

What do they do with the Stanley Cup? Members of the winning team get a few days with it in the off season — but now Discover, is it? is letting fans have a day with it. I wouldn’t want some security guard around me making sure I didn’t lose it or break it.

I know there’s a duplicate in the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto...

Being the lady that I am, I will refrain from comment and just read this thread with a silly grin on my face.

I’ll bet the torque from the Wright R-2600-20 Cyclone 14 twin-row radial engine (which produced 1,900 hp) WAS a bear!

The T-28 with the R-1820 single row 9 cylinder 1425hp was a beast on no-flap touch & goes. I had a buddy torque roll one 720 degree while practicing approach turn stalls at 5,000’ AGL.

Now THAT woke up his flight instructor in the back seat!

(sorry ‘bout the rabbit trail...the original thread was just such a sad story...)

Can’t wait for Ky’s championship to be vacated. The SEC is in shambles.
