Well, since it's annually been Bama's biggest game for the past two decades or so, I'd say probably so?? :dunno:

Talked to my son-in-law who talked to his dad. There was too much weight to get that kind of lift with two engines, especially with the uneven distribution of power. FWIW, his dad looked at his old flight logs and realized he flew that actual jet a few years ago.


Not sure if there's a typo in there or not. By definition transport category aircraft with three engines have to be able to take off with the most critical engine failed, so too much weight technically is not the issue here. They (almost 100% certainty) had legal takeoff data for their weight that would have allowed them to fly away with one engine failed.

If two engines fail you're probably not going to climb away. Once the engine departed the airframe causing unknown structural damage you are pretty much a test pilot and dependent on skill and a lot of luck to get back on the ground in one piece.

Also, the fuel diagrams in the earlier post are simplified systems diagrams, not technical schematics that show the actual routing of fuel/hydraulic lines, etc.

The expectation for a WR getting significant targets playing for a upper half SEC/B1G team should be that you make your QB look good and make the difficult catches that you shouldn't occasionally. If you're not doing that, and making a habit of dropping the routine balls, you better have JJ or Jamar or Luther Burden type skills. Otherwise, move over and let somebody else have a crack at it.

OK. Guess I just haven’t seen it? Does he have something on the belt that ties it in, couldn’t tell from where I was sitting

Goat Mike??

Sorry for my ignorance. What’s the backstory on the goat outfit? Is there one or is it just “GOAT”. Clemson fans were just as mystified as I was
Why should you look like an idiot when you don't know that an "easily obtainable public record" exists?? How would LSU know that the NCAA sent a letter to UH to even go look for a copy of it?
The requirement is to schedule a P4 opponent i.e. Pitt/SMU/Wake/Duke/Indiana

Not a "Big" OOC game i.e. FSU/Clemson/Michigan/Ohio St, etc., which was his point
Miller f’in Moss. Mid as hell but pulled gold nugget after gold nugget out of his arse against us
Got physically thrown out of the Viking Club in Guam because my buddy I was with couldn’t abide by the one rule of the strip club
Saw him and Joan Jett in Ft Worth at Dickies in May. Joan looks rough, but they both still rock!!
I told the guys on my game text that I was giving him my “Unsung Hero of the Postseason” award. TYFYS Luis!
We typically set the flaps for takeoff immediately after pushback and engine start. If the airplane is going to be anti-iced with Type-IV fluid (the green stuff) they tell us not to extend the flaps until just prior to takeoff to try to keep the fluid from running off the wing and allowing ice to form. We get an automated notice on the printer if we taxi out without the flaps extended ( it's not smart enough to know whether you're planning on de-icing or not).

Or the dudes could have just forgotten!! :lol: Nice catch!
