OT: SkyWire

[3uconn]

Did anybody else just watch that guy cross the Grand Canyon on a tight rope?!? Absolutely crazy that anyone would ever want to do that. Great that he made it across and it sure made some interesting 23 TV minutes.

I'll ruin it for you. He got the power 5 conference invite.

"Why the duck* hasn't the UConn athletic department thought of like this? Susan is busy focusin on that silly education thing and Warde is in the donut line. Meanwhile, Louisville is eating our lunch. How does Louisville have any connection to SkyWire? I have no duck*ing clue, but they do. There's a reason they're in the ACC and we're not. duck*."

I smell an imposter. Spelling and grammar are way too good.

So, he didn't get blown off, fall and die?

Glad I didn't waste DVR space on it.

They had a delay, so if he fell they would've cut to black.

Stopped watching as soon as I heard that.

Here's a video of it. Guy is nuts if you ask me!

I think this dumpy stumpy Walenda guy has more balls
than the guy who jumped to earth from outer layers.
Maybe more than anyone in the US.
This guy was on the wire for 15 mins. The outer space guy
just had to make the initial decision to jump

I say the Space Jump took more balls.....

Walenda cheated because he had Jesus help him with the wind.

I kind of wondered how that worked. "Dear Jesus, please calm the wind...that you sent me in the first place..."

So was Jesus just screwing with him and was like "Nah bro, just kidding, no more wind....PSYCH! (40mph gust)...no for real this time, no more wind."

Gotta admit, he's up there with Lance Murdoch.

Admit, those who watched it were watching to see if he would fall. Others like me were waiting for the news reports to see if he fell. Watching him make it all the way is not that exciting.

Sorta like watching fast cars ride in circles.
