I really don't think it was an accident Vandy never scored or got in field goal range
I have zero doubt...and the whole thing contributed to coach being fired during the season. There is no doubt that Mason lost the team with this decision and furthered that loss when old gal made a speech and wasnt told to sit down and shut the frick up...and sealed the deal by having her squib kick, raising the question if she had the ability to do anything else???
The media played this up like Jackie Robinson being called up. Imagine had Robinson been called up, having never played baseball, and proceeded to hold a locker room conference calling out his team mates for their lack of spirit in the dugout. I would posit that the Jackie Robinson story would have had a less happy ending.....
To be honest I was supprtive of the call by Vandy. I dont doubt there are women who are as physical as most place kickers....many male PKs aint exactly studs....but when I saw the kick I immediately thought "WHY????" and then when I read HER account of the locker room speech I immediately though of the C word.....harsh, I know, but the level of arrogance that SHE recounted, on herself, is unimaginable....

Firing him this late in the season just because his team is bad doesn’t pass the smell test. Maybe getting a head start on the coaching search is a bigger deal than it used to be.

At the higher levels goalies have some of the biggest legs on the team.
No they don’t. If they do, it’s simply a matter of luck. Literally any player at the highest levels can do a goal kick to half field and that’s all a goalie needs to do. There’s literally no goalie starting at the Club level or above that starts because of how far they can kick.
Now many goalies are bigger especially in women’s soccer so that leads to potential to be a stronger kicker. But that’s all.

The overreaction to this story on all sides vexes me. I'm terribly vexed.
A girl playing college football is ridiculous.
Even a the non physical kicker position.
And yep, I hope she gets her shite knocked in to show her what it's really like out there. Let her ger the whole experience.
Let her fake a punt and run it.
Take your offendedism and shove it.

They had one volunteer to try out who kicked 4 years at MBA. They said no. Their backup punter kicked in high school and volunteered. They said no. Their backup DB was a 4 year starter in high school at kicker. They also said no to that. The girl had never before kicked a football in her life. They picked her, sight unseen.
spot on
anyone who cannot understand this is braindead, or simply a fake, as we sometimes see on here

you're backtracking like hell now
you said originally it was "not a big deal" to you either way
now you're taking a harder stance in favor of the right thinking players
admit that you're backtracking
it's fricking cultural/gender Marxism and everyone knows it
Vanderbilt is fricked. They've always been my second favorite SEC team because I lived there and attended their games in the early 90's and I was friends with people who coached there and had coached there previous. Now they can shove it.

Not really. I was talking about the ones that think she can't kick the ball farther than that or that she is incapable of kicking.
Who knows? She hasn't shown that she can or can not.
Which in my mind is the entire point. If all they wanted a kicker to do is get the ball to the 35, why not have a member of the team kick it out of bounds?
The reason people are upset is the lack of respect the University (Whether is twas the coach, administration or whoever) showed the rest of the team. The game should be focused on the team and not a girl that apparently cannon kick the ball.
I think she can't kick a football because if she could, why would they not have her kick the ball as far as she could? If it makes it to the 15 or the 20.....okay. But at least she would have done the job they got her to do, and it would have helped the team.
If they told her to squib it, then they did a disservice to her and to their football team.

The polarizing nature of the discussion about it is fascinating. The actual subject and root of the conversation doesn't even move the needle for me.
Let's say you were out sick and got replaced on your job by someone based upon skin color or sex...and not because they could do the job. They then proved they could not do the job, and instead of bringing you back when you were well, they kept the other person and told you you were fired. Would that bother you?

I know you are joking but....Lunatik is good people. He's an excellent poster. I just think he is wrong on this issue. I am not sure people realize/understand what a dangerous precedent this sets.

He doesn't care. Him and about 3 others on this thread have stated they simply don't care. It's all about them and their virtue signaling and they have no regard for the thinking of others, and they have no regard for the Vanderbilt players who have told the decision makers in all this to frick off.

It is hard to believe that Vandy didn't have one person on their roster than can kickoff using the old straight ahead version. Some person in that administration wanted a show. Any of their QB's is athletic enough to do what Little Missy did.
F Um.
F Um.

Being held accountable in the Harry Rex Vonner LSU Poster Power Ratings is not fun and will never be fun.
The HRVLSUPPR reins downs hell.
They can't fricking stop it.

I don't believe this was Mason's call. I believe this came from above him.

Harry, this is pretty simple IMO. I couldn't care less if she kicks or not. My opinion is that I think there were guys on the team that could have done what she did. I just don't care about the kicking situation at Vanderbilt and the fact that so many people do is very interesting to me. I mean, there's a guy all pissed off talking about offendedism in the thread and he's the one that seems to be offended.
