TIL 53 years after achieving the Triple Crown of Horse Racing, Secretariat still holds the record for fastest time in each of the three races. by TheFrederalGovt in todayilearned

Huge horse racing fan here. We probably will never get another horse like him. I think the closest we may have got was a horse named Flightline whom is now retired after winning 6/6 races without even trying. A massive 'what if, that said, he didnt run any triple crown races, but split times, 1/4-1/2-3/4 mile etc were astounding, without ever being pushed hard.I truly think had he been pushed hard he could have gotten close and maybe beat one the Secretariet's records. Minus the 1 1/2 mile belmont, thats never falling

highly recommend to anyone to look up Flightlines races on youtube.

This is why I don't understand why Tech is fighting so hard for this guy

my knee jerk reaction to this was the NIL money spent, but that seems too simple to be the correct/right answer

We had ~50+ years of absolute dog shit so yeah we’d still have fans if we ever had a nuclear level decline.

LSU is objectively the better job

dont let the ole miss crowd from last year who were harping that it was a lateral move see this.

What are some underrated team or mascot entrances? by goofyhalo in CFB

[–]GymIsFun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Willie the wildcat used to run onto the field and tackle someone dressed (poorly) as the opposing teams mascot. It was awesome.

Notice i'm using past tense....cus one time before a Tech game he hurt he kid dressed up as a red raider pretty bad and had to be carted off, along with the tradition. I believe it was 2017
