Nope. Not a troll. I love my Vols. But you guys get so excited about every pick. This guy SUCKS! Do you think he's good? Why? Ya'll forget the Colquitts. Jesus.

Fine, ill copy it for you since you don't know how to operate the Internet:
Bear with me, I'm really ****ing bored at work. Also, not trying to come across like a know it all, Adderall is just a helluva drug.
This isn't entirely correct. True, there will be less drag from the reduction in density due to altitude. BUT humid air is actually lighter than dry air and because of this will counteract the change in density somewhat. Not enough to completely counteract it but enough to make a difference.
I took a look at his performances and he actually averaged 2 more feet away than at home. Average elevation was 2,500.
He was also a freshman. Darr has never averaged over 40. And neither did Palardy until this past year. Statistically the best punter in the SEC last year was Florida's. He added 6 yards to his average between freshman and sophomore year, both of which he started. Glancing over the other top kickers also showed me that every single one improved year-to-year. Speaking of which, none of the punters I looked at beat his FS avg. their FS year.
Only thing that worries me was his performance under pressure at Texas. It was his first game ever, and it was in front of 100k. (article if anyone is interested: Wyoming punter Gleeson settles in after rough start : Wyoming)
Overall, a helluva pickup. If I had to guess Tim Gleeson will be our starting punter for 2013. My guess would be he averages 44 yards and is a noticeable improvement over our current punters.
I apologize to anyone that actually wasted their time reading this.
Edit: Forgot to mention... My research tells me that the density of beautiful women in Knoxville x his Australian accent could give him a 1000% increase in sexual relations compared to Laramie.
