Josh Koeppel Hit By Truck, Hospitalized

the driver of the truck made a left hand turn in front of Josh. No excuse for that kind of fuck up. My point is that this kind of thing happens to motorcycles (and bicycles) far more than it does to cars. It’s not a college town or cell phone thing, it’s just the way it is.

When combined with carelessness (and, let’s face it, who hasn’t been careless at some point on the road or otherwise?), a small object is definitely hard to see, and therefore hard to navigate on the road. I ride motorcycles (and bicycles, for that matter), and whenever I come anywhere near anybody who might not see me, I’m scared shitless. I don’t know how to avoid the occasional accident, though, especially during rush hours or with smaller bikes, and hence smaller, lower profiles. It sounds to me like both of these factored into this collision. I really hope Josh Koeppel recovers quickly; it would suck countless bags of dicks to put so much effort into the program and the game, only to have it all nullified by somebody else’s mistake. I hope he sees the field a fair amount this year, being a senior and such.

or his vehicle insurance would anyway.

Both zipped in front of me right in front of kinnick one day. Although I was prepared to throw my body in front of my vehicle to save them, it turned out to be unnesessary as they shot across the lanes so fast all there was left for me to do was scream an obsenity and wish them luck on their classes, off season workouts, more booming punts and less Rick-six’s this season. So ya, they need to use more caution on those suckers. No helmets of course.

It’s not like the driver is necessarily an idiot. He was careless. I’m sure everybody in the world has dropped their cell phone, tripped on something, or spilled a drink at some point. While the driver could easily be a total moron, he could very easily have just been thinking about something, or his visibility could have been blocked. That said, the accident was very obviously his/her fault, and he should apologize and send American flags to the practice facility. Also, yeah, people should wear their helmets more often, (Mounts motorcycle sans helmet, as always.), ya fuckin’ reckless kids. Now just stay off my lawn…

So maybe you guys are retarded.

I’m kidding. I don’t mean that. Go Hawks!
