How dare he allow Old Glory to touch the ground?

Ouch. I'm glad he made a full recovery. It's surprising they still jumped with high winds.

Dude was stuck for at least 20 minutes.

I would like him to submit a list of his Top 10 thoughts that were running through his mind while he was stuck there.

I like how the screen behind him says "This Is Home". He probably thought "Yeah, this is going to be home for me a while"

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?


No but thanks to curiosity after reading your post I saw it on Youtube.

former military yes - but not active or reserves generally those winds there yesterday - squelch nearly all normal training jumps - which if active or reserves that's how that would have been.

Impressive fan support for a spring game. They are passionate as hell and VT deserves to be in the SEC.
