Sooner fans laid mines on the interstate

Just leave it in Arkansas. We headed that way in a fortnight.

From the second photo it looks like maybe it hit that concrete barrier. Hard to tell. Looks like the roads in Arkansas are about as bad as the field in Norman

Hope our insurance is paid up.

I would have expected something like this to happen the time the Vol Navy boat sank, the band member passed out on the field, and we lost to Georgia State.
Prayers that everyone involved is ok

We won’t need it for another week anyways…

If the Oklahoma highways are as trashy as their football field, that’s to be expected. I don’t ever recall seeing a worse field. They should be embarrassed.

They should be sued!

If sacrificing our equipment truck to the gods of football somewhere in the middle of nowhere, Arkansas, is the price we have to pay to beat the good teams, well...

...need to buy at least 2 more trucks.

Go Vols!

Serious note: hope driver is okay, as well as anyone else involved.

Think Danny White will raise ticket prices again to pay for a new equipment truck?

Lol.
A 1% insurance fee added to tix prices.

Hope they are ok. Maybe a Pilot truck pull it back.

Looks like the trailer itself is damaged too. Hopefully there’s a good repair shop in Arkansas

Hope everybody is o.k.

No. That 14 percent next year just went to 16 percent.

WTH? The entire front suspension is torn off of the tractor, as well as the trailer's axle assembly. What in the world happened there?

And every wheel/axle of the trailer. That's pretty crazy.

Arkansas highway roads are an embarrassment to the other roads of the country.

OK. So now we know why we didn’t have the longer cleats last night - they were still on the truck. Hope everyone involved is OK. GBO.

Looking closely this is Roane Transportation truck and trailer. Makes sense for the university to contract the trucking out rather than buying its own equipment and paying a driver... but being the AD Danny White is I'm sure he won't miss an opportunity to raise donation fund like he did with the goalposts that we tore down.

Being a truck driver myself, you're always a split second from something like this happening out there. Head on a swivel at all times. The way the wheels are mangled up it looks like this may have started with a tire blowout.

Probably gonna be out for a while. Even the trailer is f'ed up. The good news is that trucks and trailers are probably available for rent (I guess).
