D3 for LU Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Judging from how low he tried to go on that split... he need to practice some more (ya know, stretch out his legs further.) When he hollers several octaves higher than normal, he perfected it! D3 2 1 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.
D3 for LU Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Will the double bird splits become a thing? OMG, I hope not! D3 1 1 Never argue with an idiot. They will only bring you down to their level and beat you with experience.

MadMardigain Posted January 1 Posted January 1 (edited) I’ve been stretching like crazy the last few days but I’m not sure I’ll be limber enough to bring it into my middle school classroom routine anytime this year. Edited January 1 by MadMardigain 1

TexRef Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Don't forget that you need the official haircut of Iowa...the mullet! That completes the costume!

AgaveMaria Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Just wait until a wrestler tries it, pulls a groin muscle or hamstring and loses the season. ” Never attribute to inspiration that which can be adequately explained by delusion”.
Eagle26 Posted January 1 Posted January 1 Hopefully we don’t see a bunch of wrestlers copying it, but I could see it being used as a meme or maybe even an emoji

PencilNeck Posted January 4 Posted January 4 Okay, so as not to start a new thread, I'll just add my two favorite athlete related obscene gestures of sporting history. This one above has garnered so much attention, and it is physically impressive, but i think it rates kind of low in the grand scheme of things. Best gesture from a losing athlete: Think this ebay listing actually has an authentic autograph? https://www.ebay.com/itm/225794695690 Awesome because he's flipping off the yankees, obviously. Best overall: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Władysław_Kozakiewicz#Olympic_gold_and_Kozakiewicz's_gesture in Poland, they apparently re-named the gesture in honor of this specific salute he gave to the russian crowd in 1980. 2

Cool article about the Polish pole vaulter: The Russian crowd was whistling... at any non-Russian contestant. They were whistling to distract us, you can only imagine the noise: 70,000 people at the Luzhniki Stadium, probably only 10,000 of them were tourists. It occurred to me that I'm the only person in the world who got whistled at for breaking the world record. So when I landed, I showed them this 'Polish shaft', the nicest one you can imagine. I expressed my anger at the whistling Soviet audience; nobody whistles in athletics. If you take a look at TV broadcasts, you find that people either clap rhythmically when they feel like it, or simply sit quietly Maybe AJ can do this to the Iowa crowd after winning his fourth NCAA and we can call it the Ferrari in the US

My boss told me how the pay increase was not in the budget, so I gave him the Ferrari Salute! Oh and my boss wouldn't even help me up. CURSE WORD! 1

That's booing in Europe.

That was a quote from the Polish pole vaulter who was saying that T&F crowds are respectful and never whistle while the fans at the Moscow Olympics were a-holes Moscow and hence the salute
Hammerlock3 Posted January 18 Posted January 18 the amazing thing about that image is how ferrari's dumbfounded expression make it look like just lost his footing and fell into the splits by accident "Half measures are a coward's form of insanity."
