Love your user name.....When he died NASCAR started downhill and will never be the same.
Exactly right. I was a huge fan of Dale and NASCAR in general. Now, 21 almost 22 years later I have no idea who even won the championship this year.
DE was the last driver that would tell Bill France and company to go **** themselves. Everyone is a "company man" now and toes the line. It's become very boring.
I don’t know, I’m still a fan. The gen 7 cars have really made things more interesting. This year was really fun to me.
I also am a big logano guy so this year was awesome. Maybe I’m a bit biased
Also, ya’ll May wanna tune in next year to see the return of RCR. They picked up Kyle Busch this offseason so they may actually be relevant again. I always kinda liked rooting for the bad guy
I have heard there will be a lot of college football higher ups in Starkville tomorrow.
Several of my buddies were huge DE fans. I became a Jeff Gordon fan jus to antagonize/irritate them. I never could get into the sport, but my one and only trip to the Talladaga was awesome.
I heard Bruce Feldman say on his podcast he was about to hop on a plane for Starkville today. Stewart Mandel said the memorial would be an "Air Raid family reunion."
And there has to be another driver named Dick Trickle.
His career petered out
The race that Dale died on, I was part of a betting pool for the race. 21 people put in 50 dollars. Each person gets two qualifying numbers for the race. One of the qualifying numbers is between 1-21 and the other is 22-41 or something like that. My numbers were 15 and 37 or something. The guy that qualifies in your spot, is your racer for the game.
Once everyone qualified, my racer was Michael Waltrip. A guy that hadn't won a cup race in like 450 races. As the payout for 1st place was 60% of the overall purse, I wrote this off as a loss. Come to find out, Waltrip is the guy Earnhardt was blocking for as he crashed and died on the last lap. I was super pumped, but was quickly saddened by the passing of my favorite driver. The guy that organized the pool, it was his favorite driver.
Nieither of us wished I had won.
The previous year I won with having Dale Jarrett from the pole position. They stopped asking me to be part of the pool after two consecutive wins.
Don't lie. You just wanted an excuse to wear rainbow colors.*** Not that there's anything wrong with that.
This is like a Reddit thread, starts out about a memorial service and ends up being about NASCAR. TURN LEFT!
Well it is about Mike Leach and he'd be pissed if it stayed on subject.
Am I the only one that’s interested in hearing about the 64 team playoff plan?
The University did a great job putting on this event.
Just watching this - it's amazing how much of a reach that Leach had among the coaching community. We have said this before but I really feel like we don't know what we had.
Minshew is starting this weekend for Philly. Shows how much Leach meant to him.
I can see why Leach and Minshew got along. They were both "out there" and didn't/don't give two fricks what people think.
FIFY. Some of us sang his praises the whole time.
I may be alone in this, but these ads are really pissing me off. Does ESPN/SECN really need to sell Bounty, Old Navy, etc during this 90 minutes?
Ok, This Gray Goose one seems appropriate. But not the rest.

They had probably sold the ad time for those slots before this was scheduled.
But that explains the video montages between speakers.
