Ask Florida State. I thought I heard they devoted three scholarship to find a kicker after too many wide rights against Miami.Quote:

The first problem is that we let so many games be decided by kicking.Quote:

by "when they're on" you mean Shaggys game against Iowa.Quote:

Both Mahoney and Guyer are on scholarship. Chizik was smart enough to know that you rarely succeed in the Big XII by recruiting walk-on kickers.
Do we even have 25 total wins?:wink:Quote:

Well, there was that game against....wait...Quote:

So what you are saying is that when you pass out before the game, we win? :biggrin:Quote:

I've passed out twice during tailgating.Quote:

I'm not saying I have special powers or anything ... but I probably do.

I seem to recall Shaggy holding all sorts of records for ISU football kicking, and did a great job, but there are a handful of kicks he missed that are going to be the reason a lot of games make the list this week
