Yeah. It's one thing to have an off-campus stadium -- which is already kinda lame in and of itself -- but it's quite another to have an off-campus stadium in the middle of an industrial dump. I'm forever grateful the university decided to throw its weight around and take over that land.

It's amazing how aggressively cars explode in some accidents.

Sometimes it's hard to even recognize the form factor of the vehicle. But they're safer than ever.

I went to a lady that went 80+ backwards into a 3' wide pine tree on the interstate and had a slight headache and no injuries. The entire passenger compartment exploded in airbags, including below the dash (for her knees), b-pillar and curtain airbags.

It was pretty remarkable.

Ryan Dunn's wreck was incredible. I realize the speeds he was driving and the car he was in but it still terrifies me how little of that car was left.

When you get to exotics like what Dunn was driving, and I am going to put the Porsche 911 GT3 in exotic category, they work sort of like race cars do where the method of energy displacement goes from crumple zone to poo poo explodes off by design and you have a reenforced tub of a seating area to (hopefully) keep you safe. At 130, there is going lots of exploding happening. With that said, it can be surprising at how much of a beating a car can take before it becomes totally unsafe, bad luck non-withstanding. Sometimes you get hit the right way and it doesn't matter what engineering goes in to the safety features and you end up like Maclin :smith:

My wife rolled our envoy at 70-75 MPH a few months ago. She walked away without a scratch, had there been a passenger they would be dead.

Most fatalities I see now are from compartment intrusion (I'm guessing that's what happened to her passenger seat) or ejection. People rarely just die instantly from impact inside the vehicle.

Gone are the days when a group of teenagers would meet their end on a metal dashboard--then you could hose the car out and sell it relatively unscathed.

The most incredible one I saw was a little BMW 2-seat convertible that struck a tree on a rural 2 lane road doing 80 or so. Double ejection (no seatbelts) with one fatality.

His tie was 40 feet up in the tree over our heads (they were coming back from a wedding).

The vehicle was a gnarled mass of twisted metal about 100 yards up from where the patients were, and the only recognizable features were the dual roll-bars.

The NFL didn't have a set contract with any manufacturer so teams had jerseys from a number of different sponsors. The NFL Equipment contract with Reebok in 2002 or whenever changed all this until they ultimately changed to Nike.
