On the afternoon of November 24, 1971, a nondescript man calling himself Dan Cooper approached the counter of Northwest Orient Airlines in Portland, Oregon.
He used cash to buy a one-way ticket on Flight #305, bound for Seattle, Washington.
Thus began one of the great unsolved mysteries in FBI history.

Cooper was a quiet man who appeared to be in his mid-40s, wearing a business suit with a black tie and white shirt.
He ordered a drink—bourbon and soda—while the flight was waiting to take off.
A short time after 3:00 p.m., he handed the stewardess a note indicating that he had a bomb in his briefcase and wanted her to sit with him.
The stunned stewardess did as she was told. Opening a cheap attaché case, Cooper showed her a glimpse of a mass of wires and red colored sticks and demanded that she write down what he told her.
Soon, she was walking a new note to the captain of the plane that demanded four parachutes and $200,000 in twenty-dollar bills.

When the flight landed in Seattle, the hijacker exchanged the flight’s 36 passengers for the money and parachutes. Cooper kept several crew members, and the plane took off again, ordered to set a course for Mexico City.

Somewhere between Seattle and Reno, a little after 8:00 p.m., the hijacker did the incredible: He jumped out of the back of the plane with a parachute and the ransom money. The pilots landed safely, but Cooper had disappeared into the night and his ultimate fate remains a mystery to this day.

$200K? LOL. the most elaborate heist to date.

'give me $100,000 in unmarked $1 bills please.'

Why fight something that helped Tennessee. To me it looks like the outside receiver was covering the middle receiver. Yes covering a foot counts as covering the receiver

No, that’s not how it works. To be considered on the LOS—for linemen, receivers, or any other position—the head of the player of interest must pass through a plane that is in line with the center’s hips. A WR’s position vs. that of another is irrelevant.

I don’t really care if the call was right or wrong. Alabama has been given favor of those type calls for 17+ years, so they can wear that one.

I don't care for Alabama but my concerned is about the consistency in these trally bad calls. What if TN Saturday against Vandy have a TD called back for the same reason and lose the game? I would be irate as Alabama.....bad calls effect TN too.

Oh lord, to host Indiana would be a dream.

Then Miami in the quarterfinal.

Edit: In this scenario we would get a neutral site game against either 2-Georgia, 7-Texas, or 10-SMU in the semis.

I feel good about us matching up with Indiana and Miami. Georgia on a neutral field would be a great rematch.

I think we win a rematch with UGA on a neutral field. It’s very hard beating a team twice in the same season.

He jumped out of the plane just around where I live. They keep finding clues near me in the Portland OR suburbs.

He's the 2nd biggest legend here right behind Bigfoot and a local brewery is DB Copper centered....

The FBI totally screwed the pooch in the investigation. They either lost or threw away the cigarettes he was smoking on the plane. Definitely cold have gotten the DNA off of those and did the Golden State Killer family tree and determined who it was. Or did the screw it up? Was it covered up?

DNA retrieval was 20 years away from when that happened.

So, with all of the chaos last night, does Sankey put a call into the officiating office and elevate Tennessee to favored child status against Vandy? Do we get some calls? If we lose next weekend, SEC could be in jeopardy of only getting 2 teams in the playoff.
