I swear to God when I was young there was a horse or a donkey that was a really good kicker. Caught everybody by surprise.
Does said horse/donkey have any offspring we could suit up?

Michael Romey is the kicker right now. Redshirt freshman from Carroll. Still getting used to kicking off the ground. Looks identical to Shaggy out there kicking at 6'5 175.

It's not as if we have absolutely no one to practice with. I assumed the article was facetious, being AOL, I imagine they just picked up what came out of the papers. The link to the Indianola paper was good (enjoyed the "Lonesome Kicker" too!)

Does said horse/donkey have any offspring we could suit up? It was a mule. And sorry, mules are sterile.
