Pat Flood (@rebarcock) passed away 9/21/25. Pat played a huge role in encouraging the devolopmemt of this site and donated the very first dollar to get it started. Check the thread at the top of the board for the obituary and please feel free to pay your respects there. I am going to get all the content from that thread over to his family so they can see how many people really cared for Pat outside of what they ever knew. Pat loved to tell stories and always wanted everyone else to tell stories. I think a great way we can honor Pat is to tell a story in his thread (also pinned at the top of the board).
Worse Redneck moment ever: Dale Sr taking the right turn to Heaven or Skynyrd’s Plane crash?

Kick 6, IMO.
Soul crushing for sure. My dad said I was never allowed to watch a bammer game with him anymore because I was bad luck
Skynyrd 100% imo
Plane ran out of gas. I think that should score high on the Darwin scale.
Re: Skynrd, my grandfather was their road manager and was supposed to be on that flight. I don’t really have a lot of info because I never did really associate with him because he’s a PoS.
Shitty band with shitty music. I’d love to hear her stories. Music is an opinion though.
Mine too
Not quite as bad as Randy Rhoades and company dive bombing Ozzy's tour bus and crashing.

Crashed about an hour from where I lived at the time.

Their bus driver was flying the plane. He had already had an accident that ended up with people killed so he shouldn't have been flying.
The plane started diving towards the bus and witnesses thought it was intentional because he was pissed off at his girlfriend who standing in the door of the bus.
They also said they saw Rhoades grabbing for the controls and his actions caused the plane to barely miss the bus.
This was an emotional roller coaster of a post in only two sentences. Then he hits me with a surprise ending.
