[Shotimes] (OT) The Italian Sausage Goes Down!!

[Ron Fleshman]

You're probably too young to remember, or the Pittsburgh stations didn't
cover it, but I remember several years ago, Va. Tech was playing West
Virginia in Morgantown.  Tech brought their then-mascot, a huge dancing
turkey (as in "Fighting Gobblers," something they've now forsaken as
they are now known as "Hokies").

Anyway, some inebriated student ran out of the stands during the game
and tackled that turkey.  It turned out that the turkey was a 19-year
old sophomore at Tech and was injured.  One of the better headlines was
"Drunk Tackles Turkey."  I was at the game and saw it, but I've never
laughed longer at a headline.
