I mean, this basically confirms it was a publicity stunt. There wasn’t anybody who could kick it past the 35??? And Missouri just happened to fair catch it?
That's still a strong leg for a girl to hit 32 yard FGs.
So dudes should be able to walk on to the women’s basketball team now?
At least Danica raced every week. She had to prepare, travel, etc... this girl literally just joined the team a couple of days ago for this moment. History might have been made, but it was likely taken from a young lady that actually deserved the moment by balancing life as a student athlete for the entire year or years. Many kickers come into programs and never sniff the field. Is forced and premeditated history still “history”? It’s not her fault. This is everyone gets a trophy society at it’s worst. Mason can’t coach for $hit so he does this...
It just hit me. This is the 51st post in this thread...which means there have been 51 missed Trevor Lawrence joke opportunities. We must do better.
Definitely a publicity stunt. She’ll win an ESPY.
Never said she could . My point is if a girl who came along who could would you offer her ?? Or better yet a girl who was head and shoulders better than the kickers on your team .. why not ??
I know, the half time “highlights” of the Vandy game during the Iron Bowl ONLY showed her one awful kick and an interview with her... They barely even mentioned that Mizzou DESTROYED Vandy 41-0!! I mean good fir her I guess, but she was in the game for ONE PLAY!?! Is this such a momentous accomplishment? 🤷♂️
The media does that a lot.
Hold up, guys. We done been had. Gender is a social construct.
It’s curious how the media can decide when gender matters and when it does not.
Boy wants to join the girls high school track team? Gender is just a social construct!!!
Girl wants to play college football? Achievement for women!!!

I guess nobody on the team could out kick her? That would be the saddest thing of all...
Here is my take not that anyone cares:
If she were my daughter I'd be pumped as hell for her. Keep in mind this is a college athlete at a great university so me as her dad I'm cheering her on in this opportunity.
Keep in mind too, and I guarantee none of you looked this up, Vandy won the SEC championship this year in soccer and this girl was the main goalie and had a 7-2 record. So I respect the fact that SHE herself is no gimmick.
If we sort of back up more to the 30,000 foot view of things I think there are some others that do bring up vald points. Its easy to just call someone a jerk and move on but the points about gender constructs vs. historic achievements, what would everyone thing if she ended up with the ball in her hands and injured, etc etc are not bad points of conversation. Im all for women being able to do whatever they want but when it comes to athletics and you want to compete with men you better be able to hang or else don't mix the two ever.
So I can see both sides of the coin here. I would never fault her for taking the opportunity but I would also ask what are we trying to achieve here with this?

HAHAHAHAHA. Used to getting hit by 250+lb players that achieve ~20mph speeds in full pads and hit with the force of a low speed automobile accident..? Asking for a friend. This might be one of the dumbest comments I've ever seen regarding something like this.
