Banks?

Yes. Our venerable minister of defense that has us in the cellar in most defensive rankings.

Check his stats?

Check his stats?

Does he have pocket presents?

The "horsehead in the bed" is from the Godfather movies, but in the context of Penn State & James Franklin it makes zero sense

I venture he came up with that phrase during the Kiffin drama, couldn’t find the appropriate time to use it, couldn’t wait any longer and fired it off today for whatever he could think of.

That was based on a small amount of mostly short kicks and it's not even true anymore after his recent misses. His % beyond 40 is objectively bad by any measure.

I realize once we get in our mind a player is bad, no facts or stats are going to change it. But for the rest of us here are the facts.

Yes, as of now he’s only in 4th place all time.

Here’s a bit of perspective on that. He’s .6 of a percentage point out of second (77.9 to 77.3).

The small amount you refer to are during his freshman and sophomore years. Short kicks? Literally half of his attempts this year were 40+ yards. Last year 12 of his 26 attempts were 40+. So roughly half of all attempts were 40+. That’s not a small amount.

Our career leader in fg % is Campbell (78.3)…based on a single season as a senior. I’m sure those extra years of growth and experience had no affect. Oh, and he was 3 of 8 from 40+ and his longest fg was 49 yards. There’s a small amount.

Second is Walls at 77.9%. That percentage is based on 4 years.

Third is McGrath at 77.8%. His numbers were based on only his jr and sr years. He was 8 of 14 at 40+ with 1 over 50, that was 51 yards.

Gilbert is next at 77.3%, again based on his fr and soph years. He is 13 of 21 at 40+ with almost half of those 50+ and he’s hit 5 at 50+.

Gilbert compares very favorably to our best, and no he’s not bad by any measure beyond 40. (I don’t even know what that means since there’s only one measure that counts). And he’s only a sophomore.

No kicker is perfect, (except maybe that dude from Oklahoma.) They’ve all missed big kicks or what some would say cost us a game.

Lady vols getting the typical screw job.

 

[KB5252]

She didn't establish position inside and box out...... Plant your feet and make her run up your back. Play big

As bad as men’s CBB officiating is, women’s is twice as bad

 

[Go Fight Win]

nice score

 

[KB5252]

Lady vols getting the typical screw job.

She kept her feet moving toward the basket instead of staying big and getting the box out/over the back.

 

[KB5252]

They iced it

 

[Go Fight Win]

that should do it GO VOLS nice cap to a great day

I’m not sure we’ve ever had a great kicker. Comparing him to our best isn’t a great measuring stick. I can only recall one of our kickers in the NFL in the past 20 years.

Problem is they called the same foul against TN on the prior possession. They also, after review, gave the ball to Stanford on out of bounds that was off them.

 

[JCP201]

Thank heavens for Coop. YAY. Hopefully funk has ended with this and recruiting class

I completely agree with the oo bounds call, said the same thing. I didn't see the call the other wau, I missed that one

Bring him back…

Coach Caldwell has lost her killer instinct since she busted out that unit. . .

She beat UConn after having the kid

Way too young to remember the Reveiz era.

Reveiz, Willhoit and Hall all played pro. Reveiz was all pro.

Granted over 20 years but that's a decent history as far as teams with NFL caliber place kickers go

 

[SoilVol]

USC just signed a kid called Boobie Feaster.

I hope he has a good support system
