Damn that's a tough tumble, from a extreme ski video?

Probably just someone trying to recreate the "the agony of defeat" clip from the old ABC's Wide World of Sports opening.

Win out at home and get one more road win and we've got a decent chance to win the conference. That's not easy but it's definitely doable.

Would really help if that road win was in Houston...

Oh! I thought it was the "agony of da feet" from Wide World of Sports!!! (Skier was from Yugoslavia)

Yeah, and he fell on his previous jump as well. I imagine he gave up ski jumping for something safer after this competition - like knitting.

Not knitting. Wood carving, according to Wiki.

I guess the guy was jinxed by Jim McKay.

In the 1990s, while on his way to an interview with Wide World of Sports about the incident, he got into a small automobile collision. His first line to the reporter was "every time I'm on ABC, I crash."

I was like “let’s see how I feel” and pretty clear it was just I like every team vs Tang. No question I’ll cheer for Iowa against Tang in their NIT matchup.

Pump the breaks there, super chief. You cheer for a meteor to hit the stadium, or some kind of hell-chasm to open up. Just like the Iowa Nebraska game.

Friends don't let friends cheer for Iowa.

Step back and and consider just how crazy it is that 4 Q1s out of 7 games is part of the easiest closing stretch in the conference...

No doubt. When conference play started, I thought what a meat grinder that first half of the schedule is, but then it gets a lot easier. Now I look at it and think, damn, that's not all that easy.
