Jake Trotter wrote quite the piece on Barry Sanders 1988 season, and the GOAT noticed.

Thanks to all my teammates, coaches, and friends who took the time to remember that season. I was lucky to share that with you and @okstate fans. https://t.co/c9ryjhD0pV

It took Barry Sanders four games to figure out how special his 1988 season at Oklahoma State might be.

This is horrifying. But also incredible.

Luke Aikins, the first person to jump out of an airplane without a parachute from a 25,000 feet. Aikins eventually lands in a net. The daring stunt is now in The Guinness Book Of World Records as the first complete planned jump from an airplane without a parachute. pic.twitter.com/FVB23Z6c50
