Pregame flights will still go on, but only with Spirit.

Following a routine checkup, it was determined Nova had an abnormal heart rhythm, and veterinary faculty, in consultation with the Cardiology Service in the Wilford and Kate Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital, performed a CT angiography on Nova.

"Nova has been diagnosed with cardiomyopathy, indicated by an enlarged left ventricle, decreased systolic function and supraventricular premature complexes (arrhythmia)," said Dr. Seth Oster, an avian veterinarian at the raptor center and the college's Wilford and Kate Bailey Small Animal Teaching Hospital.

Hate to hear that but with Spirit, you never know what that crazy bastard is going to do. Hit a window, fly out of the stadium, hoover over fans, etc.

Going to be a very unpredictable year.

That's awesome. I forgot about that one.

I was there when he slammed into the suite window. Thought he was dead.

Spirit is very appropriately named. Seems like that bird doesnt give a shite what hes supposed to do.

Not sure if it was Spirit or Nova, but 2006 LSU game was the best flight i have ever seen. There used to be a youtube video of it, but it has since been taken down.

Screw that game. It was like 80 degrees with blazing sun all afternoon then got a lot cooler and super windy for the game. It stands as the only sporting event I've left early. I can be cold, and I can be embarrassed. Both at the same time, to that magnitude, was too much. That game was both.
