Re: How long were the FG attempts that Hallgren missed?
We are missing too many FGs period.
I could list the lost games and nervous wins....but if you're posting on here, you probably know those games too...."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year. We rebuild, and it doesn't matter who we have coming back."

Re: How long were the FG attempts that Hallgren missed?
i think I speak for everyone who has seen the between quarters FG try by a joe-schmo from 25 yards out and couldn't even get it off the ground. Give the kids a break, they have great talent for what they do, but they aren't perfect. Even Nate Kaeding, who may be the only Hawkeye player I've ever liked (puke!) is not perfect, but is damn good.

Sympathy when kicking outside. He should be perfect inside of 40 yards in the UNI Dome. There are no elements and he can practice in there 24 hours a day 365 days a year....."We're not an ordinary school," said Fort. "We have tradition. We have a good team year after year.

Re: How long were the FG attempts that Hallgren missed?
I have had enough of this attitude. Why is it for some reason kickers are off limits on PN? People talk about QB play, people talk about the D Backs, fumbles, int's, but when kickers get brought up someone always steps up to say "he's just human" or "he's just a kid." He is a division I athlete, a kicker none the less and 60% field goal accuracy from inside 42 yards is un-acceptable. As someone stated earlier, Billy will be the first person to admit that. It is no secret to anyone who knows even a little bit about kicking that 40 yard field goals at this high of a level should be made, every time.Originally posted by Purrrrrfect View Posti think I speak for everyone who has seen the between quarters FG try by a joe-schmo from 25 yards out and couldn't even get it off the ground.

Billy will be fine, if he gets the chance to be fine. The other thing I wonder about is whether or not he's healthy. I know he struggled with some hip and back tweaks during the summer months, those are not injuries that kickers can work through easily.Last edited by jegbomb52; 09-12-2010, 07:04 PM.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

Bernard has never kicked a ball, ever. He was recruited as an athlete and was punting balls before practice one day. Thats the only reason he is our punter. He is just now full time punting.Originally posted by jnutt View Posthalgren sucks. the kid from his freshman year here went to the D-II and was kicker of the year. Let bernard kick fgs
Back ups are the JUCO transfer (who I believe was an JUCO All American last year, remeber who are last JUCO All American Transfer Kicker was?), and Sieverdsen from CR. I don't know much about the transfer, I have seen Tyler S. kick a lot but Farley will struggle to put in a red shirt freshman when he has a Junior with experience.Illinois State Fan at a St. Louis White Castle 3:45AM Saturday March 6th:

kind of tough to kick field goals in the middle of a boat show or wrestling tournament.Originally posted by Chitown Panther View PostSympathy when kicking outside.
