Admit it, you didn't give UL's hero kicker Nate Snyder a chance before game-winning boot

Me and my buddy moved from my seats and went to sit with my son and grandson. No one checked or tried to stop us from moving. There was also not much "Social Distancing" in the student section. They just need to open things up and get back to normal. I'm long over done with this crap!

Like you I'm partial to beer while watching football (or anytime really), especially for these warmer games. But I may have to reconsider my stance and go for the flask if daytime temps stay manageable or we start getting night games again.

The no alcohol crap is probably the second most absurd rule that we have to follow. With the 25% capacity limit in an outdoor venue, while churches can be at 50% inside, being the most absurd.

My fear on the long kick was a block.

You need a lower than normal trajectory for distance kicks, and that guy for GSU was jumping out the stadium

The consumption of alcohol should be encouraged because of this pandemic. Alcohol based sanitizer has been encouraged. Therefore consuming beer or any alcohol should sanitize your body from the inside out! 😂😂😂

The way I saw it was Napier had seen enough of this guy to give him a chance to play after Indiana. the fact was up until that point he had sucked. But even in all that suckage, he hadn't missed a field goal that hurt the team. I just figured if he was what Napier thought he was that he wouldn't think about if & just go out & kick the hell out of the ball & get his mind off his own miseries. What tripped me out was Napier calling time out to freeze his own kicker. I wonder if they had practiced that little ritual so much that maybe he couldn't kick as well without the old time out freeze. Either way, Napier made the right call & Snyder did his job again when he needed to. That's the kind of thing that makes special seasons & champions.

I presume you now know that the reason the time out prior to the winning kick was called was because of concern the play clock was running short of time. It was not called to freeze his own kicker.

some kickers are better at distance and some are better at accuracy...i believe the short ones he missed were actually kicked straight, maybe he just isnt good at angling, so for short ones we need ball centered?
