Worthy read. Dude is 34, flew helicopters for the Marines in the Middle East, married two kids and self taught while on deployments.

If a UVA game comes down to a FG and you can’t you root for this guy then you’re a communist.

WTF

You said it, Hoss.

I'm going straight thru the pearly gates for questioning it. That literally wiped out 25 of my sins.

I don't know how it's an advantage. When pro athletes hit 30 in any sport you start wondering how much time they got left.

26-30 is generally peak years tho, kickers much older

Learn punctuation or spend 200 years in purgatory before ultimately being rejected by Saint Peter.

If someone over 30 has eligibility, decides they want to go to school, and feels like, hell yeah, I feel like I can wreck some 19-22 year olds who do nothing but train, more power to them. When I was in my early 30s I was finding out what stretch marks are and hoping the local Safeway would have gizzards for my game day snack.

Being a kicker is obviously a little different, but still, don't really see how it's an advantage.

Well, on another level. Vanderbilt is 2-0.

I had a colleague in the Air Force who got out early to be the Ole Miss punter.

His daddy was a full bird Colonel and pulled the strings for him. Dude was a massive pussy and never got the job.

Hahah. That’s awesome. Yeah I’m still in, got selected for a program at sdsu. Who’s playing right meow. I guess I should go check out a game, but it’s a bit of a drive. Definitely paying for money in gas over the next year. 41 miles from my place to campus.
