What the...I don't even...

So let's see...that would make him a volunteer Volunteer, yes?

And here I thought we'd be getting the explanation for Alabama's kicking performance last night...

basemetal: I would think that in today's over regulated ncaa, that it would be difficult to pull some kid out of a frat house to kick. That's a good story though, good for that kid.

He must have already been cleared by the NCAA.

Just wondering--when was the NCAA not overregulated? In the mid-80s, I had a choice between a golf scholarship and an academic one. I took the academic scholarship because (a) it could be used anywhere, (b) I figured I had to go to class anyway, and (c) I didn't want to have to deal with the NCAA.

I mean, how can I get the college experience if I'm being tested for drugs?

Would have been a better story if he was drunk

This is what people actually believe

that kid is living the dream. i like the fact that TFA says, "Just get him here and we'll do a Breathalyzer. Fortunately, he didn't have anything bad." what does "anything bad" mean?

Fat, drunk and kicking field goals is no way to go through college, son.

/actually it is

Tulane in the 60s = Uwe Pontius.

Only thing rarer than a Black guy dressing up as Wolverine is a black football kicker

Donnchadha: GAT_00: I think he actually was a member of the team. They referred to him as a walk-on. Practice squad only maybe.

In the press conference video he talks about his role in practice and how his kicks usually don't get observed by the coaching staff. He's the third string kicker and they usually don't dress for the game.

No they don't usually dress, travel or are on the sidelines for games. Their job is to procure drugs and sluts for the after party.

seems right... he must have had some previous ability to kick not to mention cleared to play. It would be difficult to even get a soccer player and say hey kick this through there without some prep work...

HAH!

/i still has a sad

I thought it was an article about the replacement for their kickers.

Gee, you must be a hit at parties.

182: Am I the only one to notice he almost said "I was laying down on my cough, relaxing, getting high." @ :35? He caught himself and said "relaxing, answered my phone."

No you're not. He sounded stoned at the press conference. He must of ate a brownie at halftime.

182: Am I the only one to notice he almost said "I was laying down on my cough, relaxing, getting high." @ :35? He caught himself and said "relaxing, answered my phone."

thats hilarious.

Why didn't Nick Saban think of this? Another coaching blunder by Nick in a big game. Should have called the frat house.

Balchinian: So let's see...that would make him a volunteer Volunteer, yes?

That

Someone add this to the archives of people who got to do something because someone knew their phone number.

I heard it as "laying down on my couch, relaxing, and I answered my phone."

True Fact: Kevin Butler still owes me money for a table he accidentally broke at our frat party in 1984.

Yes and No. It is quite easy to "make the transition" from what I've seen. My ten year old son plays competitive soccer and football. In our league, following a touchdown a run in from 3 yards out gets you one point. Kicking the ball through the uprights from 9 yards out get you two points (ball is spotted on the 3, but after the hike, it is actually kicked from the 9). Virtually no team in our division even attempts them @ this age because the kids don't have the leg. My son was asked to try and within 10 - 20 attempts, was putting them up and over fairly consistency. Went 2-for-2 in his first two attempts in a real game. So, I think for some soccer players they are able to make the transition quite well.

Do you really have to be told why your ten year old soon is not an adequate comparison to kicking in college?

Yup, so shut up and go be a fun sucking farkwit somewhere else.

Check out this article, hbk is absolutely right: Arizona's punter was the only black kicker at the Div. I level last year, and the Browns punter is the only one at the NFL level.

I wasn't trying to compare youth football vs. College football, but simply trying to make the point that for some soccer players (age be damned) it is easy to take a soccer style kick and convert it to a field goal style of kick. A point you apparently missed in my original comment
