He has what us Americans call, "swag". And that can't be taught

I'm all over the Swag. I got Swagger. No avoiding the Swag.

When Australia was deciding it's National Anthem, one candidate was "Waltzing Matilda".
"So What?" you might say.

The first line is;
"Once a jolly Swagman"
It's in our DNA.

Nice piece, thanks for the link. Its not often that the punter is seen as such a major weapon, but Brad Wing is a huge weapon for the LSU defense.

Welcome to the board, Torp. Enjoy.

Welcome to the board, mate. I was fortunate enough to visit Perth and Sydney back in the 90's, and I loved every minute of it. Great people. Great nightlife. Great beer.

The "Winger", as I graciously like to refer to him, is one of LSU's most important and integral players. In my opinion, if not for his incredible punting abilities, we would not be undefeated right now.

Mate, that is saying a lot for a college punter. :thumb:

This is my first post so go easy on me.

If you had of told me a year ago, I'd be hanging on the edge of my seat, waiting for the College NC game, I would have said "you're dreaming."

I've been watching NFL since the late seventies and love the American game. (My Australian game comes first though)
Being Australian, my main fascination was with the punting game. I could watch an entire game and say "I could do better than that!", for every punt in a game.

As more and more Australians entered the punting ranks, I would follow their progress, waiting to see them break records. (None yet)
The likes of Bennett, Graham, McBriar, Rocca have done well.
A few months back someone mentioned on Melbourne radio the name Brad Wing. So, week by week I'd check his progress.

That week by week "check" has developed a week by week obsession with the whole LSU Team and coach.
A year ago I had never seen a College football game, and had no idea about what it was, (like most Australians)
Now, I know why the Honey badger is called the Honey Badger, who the Mad Hatter is, I get goose pimples when Claibourne is near the ball, I've developed a loathing of bama fans, I listened to every game on LSU.sports, and follow bwing on twitter prayin for a RT.

Yea. I remember Ed on Dale's early teams. He could shoot the lights out at the foul line. Didn't he give instructions on foul shooting?
