Maybe it’s just me, but there may have been no better way to get away from what everyone was talking about than by giving everyone something new to talk about. If nothing else, credit Dana Holgorsen from steering the conversation in a different direction — and figure Holgorsen did the steering while seated in a Ninja 650R.

Yesterday’s skydiving escapade wasn’t something he planned and it wasn’t something to celebrate the occasion. I can’t imagine someone saying, “Hmmm, I was named head coach Friday. I’ve just got to jump out of an airplane. Assemble the U.S. Army’s Golden Knights and meet me in Beckley. Oh, and only tell one television station. Thanks.”

No, it was just a impromptu invitation to do something he’d always wanted to do and with the best accomplices out there. And he was excited about it, going so far as to do what he could to get pictures of the event because there were American and WVU flags involved and Tuesday was, after all, Flag Day.

Did it serve as some sort of a pressure release? Indeed. But this, I’m going to guess, is the beginning of a case to be made that Holgorsen is just different. Different than Bill Stewart, who, to be fair, is 20 years older and therefore prone to do a few less extreme things. But Bill Stewart goes to Pirates games. Dana Holgorsen does the pierogi race.

Which makes me wonder: What’s next on Dana Holgorsen’s bucket list?
