Saw it on Twitter and some good responses.

- No Canadian team has won the Stanley Cup since 1993
- Buffalo lost 4 straight Superbowls, all to NFC East teams
- There have been 3 U.S. Presidents in the White House since Tennessee last beat Alabama in football
- Tua finished in the top 10 in passing yards and touchdowns, having only thrown 41 passes in the 4th quarter

LSU still hasn’t had a player return a kickoff for a TD at home since the 1980s

I saw something this morning that i think was Jack nicklaus played 18 straight British Opens, won 3, and only had one finish outside of the top 10, which was 12th.

Eta: here's a paragraph on it

quote:

While Nicklaus won the British Open fewer times (3) than any of the other majors, in some ways his performance in the Open is most impressive. For example, from 1963 through 1982, Nicklaus finished outside the Top 10 in the British Open only two times. During that stretch of 20 Opens, Nicklaus finished outside the Top 5 only four times and was in the Top 4 15 times

Larry Fitzgerald owns a lot of records – but this one is the most impressive. WR Larry Fitzgerald returning for his 17 season has more career tackles (39) than career drops (29) on 2,263 targets

If you take away all of Hank Aaron's home runs, he still has 3000 hits.

Tulane has won an SEC championship more recently than Mississippi State.

The American League won the World Series from 1983 through 1985. That was the first time they won three in a row without Reggie Jackson since 1951-53.

The Falcons blew a 28-3 lead in the Super Bowl.

I think those old school stadiums were designed in a way that facilitated more triples

Add to Nicklaus' 18 major wins is 19 runner up finishes.

He easily could have had 30 majors.

Dimaggio's 56 game hit streak will NEVER be broken.

Also think no one will catch Orel Hershiser's 59 inning scoreless streak.

To beat Pete Maravich's scoring record all you need to do is hit 15 3's every game from your first game as a freshman until your last game as a junior.

Adam Vinertari’s career is so long that he recorded a tackle on Hershell Walker
