When once you have tasted flight, you will forever walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been, and there you will always long to return.

As a pilot, I can tell you this is 99% true.

…the other 1% of the time there’s a college football game on (or visibility is flirting with minimums).

Swindle must have set a script to run or something because I’m pretty sure Holly wouldn’t have done that in and of herself.

Actually, it’s 210 days until Ohio State loses the BCS championship game.

Sweet, sweet Percy Harvin. Thanks Percy, for taking #8 so I no longer have to think of the previous owner.

Thanks for the vote of confidence, but I love me some Percy Harvin. Motherfucker can fly!

I’m very impressed that you able to post that picture, Holly. You’ve officially become the Gary Shandling to Orson’s Johnny Carson.

That’s Orson’s idea of Cheesecake.

LSU freek should totally photoshop this and sync it with
Peter Pans “You can Fly!” video….from up there, Harvin can actually see the tOSU fans flocking out of the stadium and all the little headlights driving away from the stadium….

Maybe it’s homeristic, but this is easily the best quote-picture match yet.

@13

Dawginfla…..+10 for the mention of Tre Battle, an under appreciated member of the Dawgs defensive backfield.

3 interceptions against Auburn….WOW!

Speaking of flight, who was that white dude from Michigan who ran down Harvin from behind?

@ #14

why is that WOOF WOOF DAWG diving when he is clearly past the goal line with no defenders in sight?

by UFJim on Jun 14, 2008 8:47 PM EDT reply actions

UFJim – Percy flies in the vertical; Tra flies in the horizontal.

Dawgs take Miami 7 to 4 in Omaha using ESSS EEEE CEEE SPEED!

Gary, that was Morgan Trent, who once beat Ted Ginn Jr. in a HS track meet, in case you hadn’t heard his internet legend. He might be the fastest guy on the team.

I’m a pilot too, and “High Flight” is TRUTH.
