Anyone Remember When We Had A Bad Kicker.......

[Baseball25]

......and went to a frat house and pulled a guy out to do the kicking? He wasn't even a member of the team and did great. Was that under Majors? You can't tell me there aren't ten guys on that campus that could do better than what we have.

Derek Brodus. That was under Dooley.

Ole Dool’s. Man, Tennessee football sure has been on tough times.

Ten minutes ago.

 

[volfeeva]

We need a kicker who can hit FG's and also play defense

 

[K-town Vol Fan]

That was his 5th miss of the season, the misses just come at the worst times.

Derek Brodus. That was under Dooley.

Brodus was pretty solid.

I feel for y’all young whipper snappers. Us old timers grew up with the Revis brothers. They were automatic!

 

[HollowaytoSeivers]

There HAS to be a kicker in the portal that would jump at the chance to kick in the SEC.....but will Tennessee go after him?

The Vandy student on game day is better than gilbert

I don't know. The Vandy girl kicker "bunt" kickoff was pretty funny.

Speaking of the Music City Bowl, does anyone remember Daniel Lincoln’s performance against North Carolina?

I wouldn't put much stock in the SEC is superior thing (See current psot season standings by conference), especially when it comes to kicking. It's the one position that actually does not matter what division or conference you play. You can either hit 30 yarders or you can't.

Dooley. We pulled OL, DL & assistant coaches outta frat houses with that loser.

You mean the Reveiz brothers? Even those guys had some crappy seasons. Fuad was 7/15 his Freshman year and 17/26 his Jr year. Carlos was 10/19 his Sr year……”Volzheimers”?

And George Hunt was a great one to.

How about Ricky Townsend? He was accurate, was an All-American K in 1972-73, AND kicked barefooted.

Way after Majors.

I can tell you with almost absolute certainty there aren't ten guys on campus just going to college that could do it

 

[BernardKingGOAT]

Becksvoort was a great kicker. So was Alan Duncan. Jeff Hall. James Wilhoit. Wilhoit made a 50 harder to beat Florida after missing an XP to tie the game
