If you’re an Arkansas fan, motorcycle nut or collector of obscure college football memorabilia (and really, who isn’t at least one of the three?) do we have a deal for you.
Bobby Petrino’s motorcycle that crashed with Jessica Dorrell on the back, and set along a variety of other crashes in the process, can now be yours! Yes, it needs to be repaired – it did crash after all – but there is no other item out there quite like this.
It’s a 2007 Harley that needs reportedly $18,000 is work, yet the overall value is only $16,000. I’m not a motorcycle repairs expert by any means BUT I’LL TAKE IT, YES PLEASE. Oh, and the primary damage came on the “front end.”
[tries hard to make joke, tries hard not to make joke]
The current bid is $2,550 over $4,000 and this piece – even if you don’t want to repair it – would look absolutely smashing in your living room. The wife (or perhaps girlfriend or mistress seems more appropriate in this instance) will absolutely love it!

“To Nick, CJK5H, Mike Leach.”
If you’re unfamiliar with Internet memes, you likely have no idea what this means. Certainly you know Mike Leach (the finest captain in all the land), you have no clue what the hell that code is in the center, and who the hell is Nick?
Well, Nick is just a fan that attended a Mike Leach book Swing Your Sword signing and was gracious enough to pass along the picture above, and “CJK5H” stands for “Craig James Killed 5 Hookers.” To some of you this is rather simple knowledge, to others you might be confused.
If you are still confused, head to Google. Type in “Craig James Killed” and presto, you’ll have answers. Lots of them.
A handful at the signing have confirmed that Mike Leach signed this (fist pumps into oblivion), although we still don’t know that he has any idea what “CJK5H” means. We can only hope that he does.
It doesn’t change the fact that this book is now a piece of college football history. And if this thing were to hit Ebay, it would likely fetch a pretty penny. This cannot be debated, because I’d be the one bidding a pretty penny on it.
For the third consecutive year, NASCAR will honor college football’s national champion. Only this year, however, things have taken a turn for the excellent.
Clint Bowyer, who happens to be a Kansas fan (sorry Clint, at least on the football side of things), will celebrate Alabama’s recent championship win by getting a Tide-centric paint scheme for his number 15 car. This is similar to what we’ve seen to the past few years, only the ante has been upped for Sunday.
On top of changing colors for the upcoming race at Talladega, Boyer will also wear a helmet that honors Alabama’s accomplishment. Well, it does much more than that.
Say hello to Bear Bryant, who will ride around with Bowyer for the weekend. I mean, this is just magnificent, and art and a tribute made for the SEC. It will also probably be a tattoo on somebody’s back by the end of the week. In fact, it probably already is.
Bless you, SEC. And NASCAR, of course.
