I'll admit, I didn't see that game last night. It's not possible in Southeast Louisiana, and I was in Tiger Stadium watching Tim Tebow walk on water (both literally and figuratively).
If we had lost that game, it would've been more attributable to our defense giving up as much as they did and our turnovers, and not attributed to our kicker pooping the bed. I see what you're saying though, because I would likely be willing to jump his case if he had missed either of his 38 and 27 yarders last night. I would like to point out though, that his kick that made the difference was the last one that game us a 10 point lead and was 27 yards. I know conditions were bad, but that is about the distance of an extra point with a false start tacked on.
Have you EVER kicked a 27 yard field goal? Probably not. As a former Frog kicker I resent the fact that you are so quick to re-live the missed field goals and re-condemn Ross Evans for the mistakes in that Utah game last year. Do you think he missed them on purpose? Do you think he wasn't really trying and maybe not focusing?
Seriously dude. We're just trying to give praise to Evans for his performance last night in some very nasty elements in Colorado. Praise is usually a better motivator than belittling someone and reminding them of their mistakes.
Only 1 person to ever grace this planet and never made a mistake. At TCU, I think we know his name and I'm pretty sure he's not the guy who's posting under the handle of
"You Can't Be Joking"
You wanna pick on someone? Pick on me! I'm a man! I'm 34! :biggrin:
