Did I miss something? When did the world start to care about kickers and punters. Come on guys...he is a punter!

The only thing lower than a field goal kicker, in my humble opinion, is a punter. Alright, that was just some flair to catch your attention. I truly am lost on the meltdown over Auburn losing this Durst kid. He apparently was late for class and cut across near the practice field where a stray pass knocked the soccer schedule out of his hand. He was so mad that Manchester United button had been scratched that he punted the ball 87 yards back to a waiting CTT. Next thing you know the kid who had never held a football was a walk on star. Something like that happened.

Well now he is leaving because the Chiz will not give him a scholarship....well until the summer maybe. He says he cant pay for school and has to work.

Nanner breaks it all down for you::::

1. His punting landed us 16th in that area
2. I believe he had a 46 yard average
3. We have a preseason(08)all SEC punter on scholarship (granted he blew some punts)
4. How many points per game does the punter score?
5. How many times a game does a punter have the chance to impact the game?
6. How demanding is practice for a punter?


The Reality:::

The kid said that he had some student loans so we know he can get the money to pay for his tuition. According to news stories he is only a handful of credits away from graduation and will stay enrolled until graduation. So he is now free to bag some groceries at the Walmart or maybe double shift at the Pita Pit. He says he wants to try and get on with a pro team.

Meeker Says:::

If you fans are banking the entire success of next season on the walk on punter then you may need to brush up on how football is played or really start bitching about all that money the school is wasting on offense and defensive coordinators.

How dumb is this kid. The government will loan you the tuition (you do plan to have a job eventually). So you think the best way to take your great talent to the next level is to spend all next year watching the games from "Welcome to Moes".

LEAVE THE TEAM
1. no showcase for the NFL
2. pick up an extra $5.25 an hour
3. Use loans to pay for tuition
4. graduate

STAY WITH TEAM
1. Maybe get drafted or shot in the NFL
2. Maybe be ALL-American
3. Play college football
4. Use loans and pay for tuition
5. Graduate

At least with that type of logical thinking he could be the next CEO of either a major US bank or one of the big 3 automakers.

Until next time...................clean your keyboard today!
