I’ll be all for

A girl in football once she earns it on talent and not pandering. I could really go without seeing a forced agenda on 8 channels though. Anyone have a game on with no agenda?

But pandering is what the Western world is all about now. Something about being at the top of the Maslow’s hierarchy of needs. We now only have time for all the stupid stuff now.

I’ve seen some bad male FG kickers. She might be an upgrade on some!

Couldn’t help but notice she did not look small out there. I looked up her height and weight. Height is 6’2”, weight listed as “unknown”. That struck me as funny. Never ask a woman her weight. New precedent in college football??

I have. It is not recommended, but I had an agenda. Yes, I won the day.
I’ll say this. I have Seen collegiate women kick a soccer ball much, much better so I tend to think it was a “funny” looking squib though wonder if the nerves jumped all over her.

Interesting you assume she’s not there based on talent

The team had a need, and a resource to fill that need. What in that is objectionable to you?

I guess my assumption is that there are probably many options and I find it hard to believe in the most political year of my life that this isn’t based on talent. I may be wrong but hopefully it doesn’t come off as hateful. Just don’t want sports to enter the sympathy world

Are you good at kicking field goals?

I kissed pretty well back in the day, but I have a feeling she’d probably school half of us in soccer and probably kicking FG as well.

Not calling you hateful.

Just pointing out again that your assumption is that she is only in that position because of reasons outside of their need and her talent. If you start with that assumption then anything other than an all-world talent will always fall prey to that line of thinking.
I have no idea how talented a kicker she is. What I do know is that vandy had a need at that position and filled it with another scholarship athlete at the school. I see no reason to think much beyond that.

Just a question here because I don’t know the answer. Did they say why they looked to the women’s soccer team in lieu of the men’s soccer team?

I can see why you think that, I just don’t agree that she was (most likely) the best option and if it wasn’t for the world we live in today, she wouldn’t be on the team. Which I find unfair to the girl who earns it one day. I appreciate your input.

Vandy is an Uber liberal-leftest university so this surprises me zero.
Ever been to a HS kicking camp? I have been to several. From what I have seen today on TV, she would never get beyond middle school level. I have a tough time thinking no one else on Vandy could easily fill her shoes (better). If they can’t, Mason proved he is supremely unqualified to be a college coach.
BTW, I have two daughters who were excellent athletes and played collegiate sports so it has nothing to do with anything other than reality as I see it.

I agree. She kicked that squib and got the heck out of the way. I also saw a clip of her practicing at chip shot range. Just hard for me to believe no athlete on that team couldn’t do as well or better. Like you I’m ok with it if the girl is better than every guy on the team. Was that the case of did Vandy seize a PC opportunity?

I saw that clip as well. It appeared she was practicing extra points and was not impressive.

I’ve been to a few kicking camps, though admittedly I was never good enough to think about doing it beyond early high school. I’m, again, not claiming it is impossible this is a political move... I simply see no reason to jump to the “liberal school being pc” argument. To me it seems dismissive and you disagree, that’s cool. No reason for me to argue you aren’t thinking or for you to argue the same about me.

My bad thom!

I should have used a different phrase. I wasn’t trying to be argumentative but certainly see where it came across that way. I know several guys who played at Vandy and they tell me how bad the PC bus is there. But yes, I think Mason wanted to gain favor with the AD, Administration and get some national attention by playing her. We could differ on the why’s but, to me, there is zero chance she was the most qualified to be their kicker. Cheers and again, I apologize.

Was she really the most qualified/best option though?

Vandy does not have a men's soccer team but they do have a club team. Its likely one of those guys has a far more powerful leg for kickoffs and field goals. The US Women's NATIONAL soccer team is regularly defeated by the boys under 15 national team.
I'm totally fine with it if she really was the best option, and she may well have been. But it just seems an awful lot like a publicity stunt from a team that had no real chance at winning and is unlikely to win a game this season. If this was Bama and there was a chance the field goal kicker could make or break the iron bowl, is this who you think they would run out there?

Perfect make a wish moment -coach is getting fired so no real consequences -COVID -vandy is the worst p-5 team/program in the country -no effect on the game, they’re getting blown out regardless -Colorado already had a girl kicker...is it really history? -is a kickoff to the 35 actually good for coed football?
