    keep in mind that drew alleman:

    "The top prep kicker in Louisiana and one of the best in the nation in 2007".

    one of the best in the nation. but a girl soccer player who never kicked in a game is gonn amake the team and kick instead?

    drew alleman:

    "Ranks first in the SEC and tied for first nationally in field goal percentage at 88.9"

    but a girl who has never kicked deserves his job? a girl with no real future eligibility beyond this year? after alleman waited years to kick for this team? the girl will be better than him? a guy who led the nation? she is the best college kicker in america and therefore actually deserves his job?

    yeah, she has a chance.

    Personally, I see no reason why she can't tryout. Besides, it provides a means of taking some of the media pressure off the team, after that little quixotic experience in January. Wouldn't surprise me any, if this isn't why CLM is going along with it.

    true, in the same sense that it doesnt hurt anything to invite a mule or a robot in to tryout. no one disagrees with that. i am just politely informing folks that she is not actually trying out, she is creating a PR bonanza. she isnt a legit player like the other people who tryout. people like to say "if she can do it". thats like saying "if she can fly like superman she ought to be allowed to rescue people for the fire department." certain a true statement.

    Easy Aristotle, not quite, if that's the case I've seen blazing fast animals we could sign up right now, Cheetah? No need for an offensive line, boom touchdown everytime.....and then we can use all the chick kickers we want to kick extra points only.......

    is that a valuable football skill? not sure if les miles has that on his list of things that help the team win.

    darling dont get so worked up, i think you are a delight. if you pretended you could do something you cant i would play along to save your feelings. its always best to lie to people and encourage them to fail.
