Stoops Blacks Out with Blue Angels

Oklahoma football coach Bob Stoops lost consciousness for a few moments but didn't lose his lunch Wednesday during a ride with the Navy's Blue Angels flight team.
Stoops took off with pilot Kevin Davis of Connecticut for an hourlong ride that started with a vertical climb to 7,000 feet.
"We started doing some maneuvers flying upside down, getting right to the edge of mach speed and doing some loops," Stoops said in a statement issued by Oklahoma. "Then we did the cork screw vertical climb and nose-dived into some turns. It was just amazing."
He said he took G-forces up to 7.8 during a minimal radius turn.
