SALT LAKE CITY — National Signing Day is now behind us and fans of local teams often seem to focus on what may have been. Well, I'm not going to help those fans right now. I'm actually probably about to make it worse.
BYU offered a full scholarship to the 350-pound David Fangupo from Kealakehe High School in Hawaii. Fangupo decided to accept a scholarship from Hawaii over BYU and Georgia Tech.
It may not seem like that big of a deal considering BYU has several 300-pounders on the team, but most of them can't move like Fangupo.
This video popped up online of Fangupo ripping off long runs while smaller defensive backs try and catch up.
Apparently Fangupo was a lineman and his coach thought he'd see how he'd do as a huge running back. Turns out it was a good idea. Fangupo finished the season with 548 yards and 10 TD's averaging over seven yards per carry.
Motorcycle, Meet Airplane
Motorcross athlete Robbie Maddison and his DC cronies made this video "AIR.CRAFT" and it's probably going to be the most entertaining 10 minutes of your day.
Maddison and his crew shot the film in a military service airplane graveyard in Tucson, AZ and watching Maddison use wings, fuselages and just about everything else to pull off his tricks is a blast.
Like I already mentioned, the video is 10 minutes long, but you're going to wish it was 30 minutes. Maddison has mad skills and the inventive use of these old planes is truly the work of a master.
Luck of The Irish
On Saturday night the Notre Dame Fightin' Irish took down the Louisville Cardinals in a five-overtime thriller.
While the game was a blast to watch the true highlight of the day came earlier when a ND senior won $18-thousand.
ESPN's College GameDay was on hand for the game and senior Casey Murdock got a chance to hit a half-court shot to win the cash from State Farm.
Murdock had 18 seconds to try and hit the basket and he got it on his second try. He's only the fourth person to hit the shot in the history of College GameDay.
