@JasonPoole Practice makes perfect. Also had Tony Franklin, a guy who smashed long field goal records back in the 1970′s at A&M and then played for the NE Patriots (among ever). Couple of 60+ yarders in one game in college and then a slew of 50+ yarders in the pros. Your field goal kicker last year (name escapes me now) was pretty talented too.

@viciousdawg Disclosure, UF grad here. SEC page or not, concussions are a big deal in the sport, and if they are not addressed, the sport could be seriously changed, or stopped altogether (and if you think I’m way off base, try looking at the impact of lawsuits on other institutions around this legal tar pit we call a country). My first observation is, no one with 2 concussions should be allowed on the field. The statistical probability for another concussion is about 100 percent, and playing a man with 4, which you would have to do to get him to 5, boarders on negligence (if Mr Klepal shows serious side effects 20 years from now, deal ol FSU is going to be named a co-defendant, no matter who is the coach).

Good to know they are going to honor his scholarship. But playing a guy with 4 concussions? That ain’t smart.

O.K. I know this is an SEC page, but, let me take time out to give Jimbo Fisher of FSU some props. Richy Klepal a FSU recruit has had 5, yes count them, 5 concussions. Yet Fisher is going to honor his scholarship. College Football needs more classy coaches. Just my 2 cents worth. By the way should be some good games in conference this week. Vandy/Georgia….bad blood from last year………….. LSU/Auburn: Auburn would love nothing more than to beat LSU, I think LSU wears them down in the 2nd half but in the SEC anything can happen…. Mizzou’s first road game in the other Columbia, wouldn’t suprise me if this is an early season upset. Lets just hope NO ONE gets hurt this weekend.

Punting has traditionally been a strength at A&M. Don’t forget that Yale Lary, a Hall of Fame player from the Detroit Lions, and Shane Lechler, who is probably the greatest punter in NFL history, are both Aggies.
