THE TEN MOMENTS OF PURE MALICIOUS FATE, 2007, PART ONE
Remember: life’s not out to get you . Life will get you, and by “get” we mean “turn into a pile of dessicated bones buried beneath the crushing weight of the earth.” The top ten moments of malicious fate striking for 2007 await you.
10. Shaun Carney’s knee bends sideways.
Air Force 24, Cal 21. After some comebacking by Cal, Air Force drives down to the one in an attempt to make it a two score lead again in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Things What Fly Und Kick Ass Bowl.. Positive vibes! Inspirational lighting! Cue the Jerry Goldsmith soundtrack! Carney had over a hundred yards rushing, a TD on the ground, and had passed for another as Air Force ran the modded-up flexbone all over Cal. Slo-mo camera, tension, Bruckheimer’s all over this and…
Air Force loses their flux capacitor when Carney exits, the defense gets shredded by Kevin Riley, and the upset ends with a Cal victory, 42-36. Life ain’t fair.
To be continued. Watch your back in the meantime…the wolf is always at the door…

Willis McGahee thinks that is a weak…..they had to actually saw Willis’ leg in half, remove it from the turf, then build a kneecap out of fiberglass and titanium, then weld it all together in time for the NFL season….
tOSU’s Will Allen has Willis McGahees kneecap in a jar somewhere, and at least he held onto the ball….

NC State deserves a team award for the 2007 season. While we had no moments remotely approaching the horror of that clip, we should receive points for sheer quantity of knee injuries.

As a former SEC Defensive lineman who played 5 yrs w/o major injury, I refuse to even watch the clip in fear of karma causing me to blow my knee out while wrestling with my 4yr old son.
Seeing these things happen cause major sympathy pains in my knees, and I refuse to let that happen.

As with all injuries like this. I try to only watch out of the corner of my eye. Doesn’t help though. Still makes me sick…..

Willis McGahee does this to warm up in the morning while he eats cherios.
That is still the only thing that has ever happened on ABC/ESPN that they actually stoped showing…of course that was years ago now and they would never do something tasteful like not showing really untasteful things over and over and over and over again.

That was pretty gruesome, I liked how Dan Fouts told people not to look at the replay.
