Wow, I think we are ready for some football. We're like a bunch of caged lions that haven't eaten a crippled water buffalo since last November. Last season really made us hungry to get back to our winning ways. If we can get this fired up over signing a kicker then wait until the 3-headed quarterback battle heats up in a month and a half. I can't wait to see the board around August 14th. I say kudos to DD for getting this kid. Let's hope he does well.

GMG!!!

Beat Texas!!!

From what I here he had opportunities to go preferred at LSU and Oklahoma. You wonder why Tulsa didn't get him but they appear to be pretty set at kicker and they didn't have a scholarship to give at that position. I like this kid's potential. Especially if he can be a kickoff guy as well.

If he is as good as advertised, we are probably set at both kicker and punter for the next 3-4 years which is great.

Thanks for bringing that up Harry. Quite often BCS schools bring in kickers as preferred walk ons as opposed to giving them a ship. If they earn the spot by beating out the other preferreds then they can get a ship. A kicker where I am from a few years back had multiple offers from smaller schools, but decided to try to walk on at Tech instead. I don't understand that completely, but who knows what the coaches at BCS schools tell those kids to get them to come in for free.

And unless people are going to call Cobbs, Buckles, etc... mistakes, then shut up about getting this kid. You have no valid argument whatsoever. The next person that says "oh, we beat out so and so state for this kid? wow", needs to get slapped. Who did we beat out to get Patrick Cobbs? Yeah, that's right, shut up. In the future if you can look back and see that he didn't pan out, then sure, criticize it then, but before he even steps foot on campus as a true freshman? Give me a break.

Woodward articles from Scout.com.

So did Jenks, Ok. Rising senior Steven Woodward, who many considered one of the nation’s best, also did quite well with solid kicks.

Well, since I've been out on vacation in San Diego for the last week I am invoking my right to amend my 2006 season prediction.

For UT the score will now be 62-12. The prior prediction was 62-3. We will have 3 more field goals of over 70 yards. It will be a new NCAA record. rolleyes.gif

I am certainly no recruiting expert. But, with kickers and punters doesn't it stand to reason that you could "steal" one away from the big boys just because of numbers alone?

Most schools only carry 2-3 kickers total. Whereas, they could carry 10+ LB's.

This looks to be a good sign. We need someone to kick XP's for Super J-Mo.

      Sell Out Next Week?

      I think everyone knows this. It doesn’t make the practice any less dumb. With everything being electronic nowadays they could easily announce the actual attendance. Last night was a jarring example. There weren't more than 22-23K. And what annoys me the most is because of the announced attendance, last night is officially the 5th best attended game in stadium history, which is total BS.

      Did we dump the 3-3-5 for good?

      I mean I’ve spent lots of time talking about this defense (which I do not love) but there aren’t too many gaps. The scheme accounts for gaps, but relies on excellent linebacker play to go along with excellent safety play. For me, it always comes down to the defensive line. In 2013, we ran a 4-3 base and Flusche et al generated pressure with that front four and it made the whole group very good. The next year with the same base we were leaky. The difference was the line. Reffett had a solid defense with Nate Brooks and Kemon Hall at corner and would bring LB blitzes (to make up for the lack of great line play) and it worked. The next year they struggled as the corners couldn’t man up and the pressure was late. Littell’s defenses post Reffet were awful until he lucked into the Murphy twins and upset top 25 UTSA. Mazin Richards helped him get enough to get to the title game the next year. Last year? Awful line play. This year? Better line play. It’s always about line play no matter how many you put out there. Get pressure on the QB or else you lose.

      What's at stake as Pac-12, Mountain West and American Athletic Conference plan their futures

      Memphis and Tulane are weighing their options of joining the Pac-12 or remaining in the American. Depending on who AAC commissioner Tim Pernetti can acquire, staying in their current conference might be the best option for the Tigers and/or the Green Wave. Pernetti is known to desire UNLV and Air Forcefrom what's left of the Mountain West. If the Falcons and Rebels jump to the AAC instead of the Pac-12 then all the sudden the AAC might look more desirable for Memphis and Tulane to stay put. Both Memphis and Tulane are desired by the Pac-12 for their consistency and recent success in football. Both are essentially top 50 TV markets, but Memphis brings a record of success in basketball and Tulane is attractive because it's in New Orleans. (Don't think that presidents and ADs haven't thought about fun weekends in N'awlins while watching their teams play. read more: https://www.cbssports.com/college-football/news/whats-at-stake-as-pac-12-mountain-west-and-american-athletic-conference-plan-their-futures/amp/

      Great Week 4 Uniform Video

      Never was a fan of the script, but I’ve got to admit, we looked GREAT. I like the all green more than I realized as well.
