Sweet

Take it fo sure.

 

[Biopsyman]

We just won the east

 

[Ashevillevol]

Wonder why he wants to transfer? I'm sure he was the best one they had.

What was La Dee Freakin Palardy-Darr's punt average last year?

 

[VolFan4Life87]

I'm so down for that after our miraculous 15yd punt at one of the games last year, I forget which.

 

[kwebbvols2344]

Hell yeah, we need a good punter.

 

[cwbytruckers]

Wyoming altitude could be a reason for that average.

What was La Dee Freakin Palardy-Darr's punt average last year?

Darr avg 39 yds per punt
Palardy avg 43 yds as well, which i was extremely surprised by, but had half the attempts as Gleeson

He was a Five Star to...........because I say so!

i don't worry about 39 yard punts versus 43 yard punts. i want to know if he had any shanks. that is what drives me nuts.

He must've heard about our Director of the Office of Student Judicial Affairs.

LSU has a great punter from Australia as well (Maybe I should get CBJ to fund a recruiting trip in the land down under so that I can check out up and coming punter talent!). Man, just an average punter would have helped us out with field position so many times last year...

If you can't beat them, join them. Oh, wait.....

 

[salutethehill]

If you can't beat them, join them. Oh, wait.....

That's great.

 

[Volunteer_Kirby]

Well, luck is on our side! Man, I can't wait for 45 yards to be the norm on a punt. Hopefully he can add some decent hang time, too. Awesome pick-up by the staff!

 

[YankeeVol]

Can definitely use him

That could be good news, indeed. However, do not expect him to maintain that 43-yd. average. In home games, he has been punting at an altitude of 7,200 ft. (University of Wyoming - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia). Hopefully, he will enjoy greater success than Dirk Borgognone (Dirk Borgognone - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia), who came from Reno, Nevada (elevation 4,400 ft.), where he had kicked a high school-record 68-yd. FG in 1985, but lost tremendous distance in the thicker and more humid air of Knoxville, Tennessee.

Can't wait for our first 3 and out to see what this guy can do.

Wyoming altitude could be a reason for that average.

And then there's that Guy that sucks all the positive feelings out of a thread.

Can we not be happy about anything anymore without Debbie Downer chiming in?
