1st SEC player Opts out for 2020

[FLVOL_79]

Of course the punter decided to punt...

Yup! How many times have you seen a video of a kicker getting chatty with his team mates on a sideline? Nobody wants to associate with them for fear that their MOJO might be damaged.

Unless he was afraid of blocked kicks and run backs. We are talking Vandy.

Vandy Kicker Opts out

Vanderbilt kicker Oren Milstein opts out of 2020 season over COVID-19 concerns

I know it is Vandy and a kicker but I think this is only the first of many.

He was only going to get to kickoff once every game. No huge loss. JK!

There'll likely be a cascade of NFL prospects deciding the risk of this season just isn't worth it. How good would college football in 2020 be if that happens? What exactly are they playing for anyway. Is there going to be a national champion.

 

[volroadwarrior]

OMG. The Atlanta Braves had a massive break out of COVID since July 1. But wait, as of August 1 the ones affected ARE ALL PLAYING!!!!!!!! This cannot be CAN IT?

 

[Gandalf]

Will anyone in the game actually notice he is gone? Its not like he would actually play. Vandy's punter on the other hand...

There are more important things than football. Especially with a Vandy degree. The majority of their players are there for the degree, not relying on pro football contracts as most of our players.

Nothing wrong with that.

Most of our players is an exaggeration.
We have had a drought lateycompared to the ninties.

Hate it for Vandy, though. This might have cost them their win.

He is a grad transfer. So he probably never actually attend Vandy, much less get a degree there. Don’t overestimate the number of Vandy players that are there to get a degree. Vandy fans, all ten of them, will tell you they have these high entrance requirements and there football players are there because of the education but don’t believe them. Look what most of them get or attempt to get a degree in.

He can’t comfortably wear a mask and yell the “anchor down” mantra at the same time. Cut him some slack. Mommy and daddy didn’t pay for school for him to wear a mask and not have the freedom to wear his Birkenstock’s on the sidelines as he will never get a chance to kick this season due to a horrific offense.

Granted that he will not be scoring many points but kick offs at Vandy is a huge job![/QUOTE

WHO???? The ref gets more PT then him. Now if their punter sits out then they might as well cancel their season.

He can stay home and hide under his bed for all I care

Yes with the race car sheets over his head!

The irony behind this thread is just priceless! The Vandy Kicker opts out? WTF He figured I won't be used anyway so WTH, why not make a statement at being the first in something!

 

[Volsome_Sauce]

The kicker of all players. Lol

 

[Remy]

Lol. You cant write this stuff. The Vandy kicker.

Shows as a beacon the type promoting hysteria these days IMO.

 

[The Original Fade]

We’re ripping the Vandy kicker for his decision but not J. James for his?

Update: He plans on keeping his Chess Team obligations so he doesn't lose his scholarship.

 

[Proud Army Wife]

We may not end up even having a season but it would sure be nice if the SEC would hurry the hell up and give us a schedule to hypothesize over.

Hypocrisy is abundant.

I'm guessing Med school is not in his future.

With conclusions like that I certainly wouldn't want him diagnosing me.
