Indeed it was a piping hot spud.  That finish was wonky af.  However, it didn’t kick off late enough for me to count as a true PXIIAD hot potato.  I look at pxiiad like dessert.  I watch all the other games and then it’s like “o snap UCLA is playing wazzu in a game I didn’t know about but I’m HERE FOR IT”

Can this be a safe space to discuss Sarah Fuller? I understood the pre game hype, and thought it was merited. I was annoyed by the continued post game hype, as if what happened actually didn't happen. Vandy was so awful that she only got one kick and that kick was doo doo. I don't even think the doo doo kick was problematic, it seemed to be windy and I've seen worse kickoffs, but I can't get behind what happened yesterday being historic.

The media was trying to make this a Jackie Robinson event, as if there are hundreds of capable women who have been held out of division 1 football for decades.  It was a publicity stunt and nothing more.

KSU rolling out a goalkeeper next week could very well calm some waters.  :dunno:

Now I don't think it was a publicity stunt, they did lose all of the kickers to COVID and contact tracing. Honestly, I'm shocked this hasn't happened to more non Big 10 schools. You'd think that position group would be most susceptible to contact tracing.

Could be, I just assume there are 10 active players on their roster who kicked for their high school team because they were the best athlete

I’m somewhere in the middle. She was their sole PK, so if they got in scoring territory she was kicking. Also, Vandy doesn’t have men’s soccer, so I easily believe that a women’s player would have the best available leg on campus on a week’s notice.

It's good that a "first" is out of the way.  The next time will be more normalized, and so on.  That's a good thing.

Thing is that it wasn't much of a first, it kept being parsed with "in the power five." New Mexico is a major power 5 program, just as significant as Vandy if we're being honest. Gary Barnett's homegirl Kate Hnida actually kicked some extra points.

Yeah - that was the real "LOL" at all the hype, the "Power 5" qualifier.  If Neuheisel would have remained Colorado another year, I think Hnida would have kicked in games - he recruited her to the team but left before her first season.

It was obvious she wasn't very good. She was awful. Katie was not only a girl, she was terrible, ok? There's no other way to say it.

I hated him so much, he was such a dick. If you recall he said that as a rebuttal to her revealing she was raped by a teammate.

Yeah, there were two D-I females who kicked in games before the Vandy lady. One at UNM and one somewhere else. I too was lol'n at "...in the Power 5."

Yeah, I remember being shocked by what he said back then, but going back and looking at it now, it was even more cringey than I remembered.

The last time I even thought of Gary Barnett was when I heard him probably a year or two ago on 810 with the slapdicks on the Border Patrol.

I guess he had a weekly segment on there or something. Kind of weird that he would have a spot on the radio in KC.

But whatever.

I'd like to see more of this from the Group of 5 (top teams from conferences having the flexibility to play each other late in the season, not COVID)

We didn't even talk about her coming into the lockerroom at halftime lecturing the players about not cheering for each other loudly enough. Now, let's remove gender from this, how lacking in awareness and humility do you need to have to be a place kicker, only with the team for 6 days, that decides you want to yell at these people who have spent a half of football running into people over an s over again. Not only that but the cameras showed her, clear as crap, talking to people in the crowd, during the game.

Don't get me started. ESPN was a circus with this story. Not to mention there's been D1 girl kickers before, who've actually made FG's, but 2020. I'd be pissed if I was some of those previous D1 girl kickers, seeing this girl get all the press, for a squib kick.

They both actually support her. I just want the woman to score some points and not pep talk these people who have spent every day the last 4 months busting their asses. Play spring ball before you try to be a vocal leader.
