He was the one carrying the American flag and is still up there 15 minutes later. The fire truck is too short with their ladder

Another example of liberal media trying to make America look bad

Nothing will compare to the humiliation his unit will bestow upon him

Not particularly windy today. 3 guys jumped.

First guy almost hit stadium and bailed to land on the practice field.

Second guy hit the scoreboard.

Third guy barely made it down inside stadium without incident.

Just a shite show all around. Though if I'm a Tech fan I'm happy. Clearly they've spent ever dollar on NIL and the football staff so they've had to go cheap on the entertainment

I think overall transfer and recruiting they were ranked 30th. How is that any better than usual?

Dude is way up there, how are they going to get him down if the fire truck ladder can’t reach

Apparently they had to get a crane over to do it

Was anyone else at the Ala-MSU game in Starkville in '97 when the shoot didn't open on that crazy cold windy night and the guy hit on about the 10 yard line and bounced 7 yards into the endzone? I have never seen anything like that. First two guys went way past the stadium. It was probably 20-25 mph winds. They should not have been doing it. Game was delayed for about 45 minutes. Stallings was pissed. Ala lost. I can't believe the guy lived.

Hope he’s okay, but the song and timing of impact is hilarious.

1996, but yes. That was absolutely insane. He landed just right to abort the landing and survive.
