With our past and kickers, you would believe it would be a lot easier to pick up a really good scholarship kicker to come in, bcuz you know if he is even just RELIABLE, he will be an ISU HERO!!!

Props to you on this. This is what I have been saying forever now. By not having kicker we have pretty much lost every important game ever. We have to change all of our play calling strategies etc... I am not sure why we can't find a kicker. I mean we have all the United States of America and about 5 other countries where we could find just one normal kicker. We are 20 yards short on our kick offs and very unreliable for field goals. Wouldn't it be wierd 3 years from now if the crowd was shocked if we missed a 30 yard field goal instead of praying to make a 20?
We need to make our O-Line, D-Line and Kicker our top priority. maybe they already have it done. The other skill position won't mean jack if we don't have those figured out soon.
Ty Stewart. He held a Guiness world record for a practice kick for a few years.
Walden's Special teams were always one of the top rated in the nation. Too bad the rest of the teams were not.
Maybe Shaggy needs more scooby snacks? Seriously, we can't blame him on all our problems. Wait a minute........
One for four isn't bad.If the offense could find the endzone once in a while.......
The true irony of this whole situation is that when I was in school and through most of the nineties, place kicking was the ONE thing we were good at.
Can't think of the name of the kicker during my tenure (89-94), but he was money from50. Jamie Kohl was another that was pretty reliable.
I am going to put some uprights in my backyard and start my 3 year old kicking right now.
can a girl play football, we have a women's soccer team. thats all i know, he is horrible this year, i serously thought his fg today was going to go out of bounds before it reached the posts
Does anyone know how many games in Shaggy's career he has either failed to seal, changed the play calling for the rest of the game contributing to a loss (yesterday), or just blatantly lost with the game on the line???
Also, can you think of ANY other D-1 school that has had anywhere close to this type of kicker problems?!
I am betting that AT LEAST a third of our losses in the last 4 yrs were partly to blame on a missed chip shot by Culby. I'm talking less than 40 yds. After that, kickers are allowed to miss.
This wouldn't fly at Buena Vista, let alone in the Big XII. I can't wait for the last time I have to see him kick here in a few weeks.
