As a father of 3 sons, I think it's great. Sorry you folks can't be happy for her.
Sarah Fuller just kicked the extra point. 7-7 vandy/UT

I didn’t maybe your point at all. 😂 I simply refused to do your research for you. That would be a good exercise for you to help enhance your skills.
The blind kid at Southern Cal didn't get a carry. He's a long snapper who got to snap an extra point in a real game. It's telling that you compare Fuller to a blind kid, though. Both are basically charity cases. Neither would have ever seen the field if they had to earn it. That's not much of an accomplishment.
Who are we to say who it is fair to. Sarah Fuller is out there. If she is willing to take risk, then she should get no breaks from the other team. The girl was willing to help because the women’s soccer team were the only people on campus when Vanderbilt’s kickers got Covid. For people to be going after her because she got a couple opportunities is ridiculous to me.
I coached baseball with my son starting in a 3/4 year old league (metro ATL). I had a girl who was awesome. Savannah was with me for 4 years when she decided to go to softball. The difference between Savannah and your daughter and the Vandy girl is that Savannah and your daughter were as good as the competition. I'm surprised your league wouldn't allow girls to play.
There's also a big difference in a physical contact sport and a non-contact sport such as baseball, especially at the college level.
Congrats on your daughter's successes. You sound proud and you should be.
I didn't say kickers, I said players. Maybe they kicked in high school. I think the punter probably did.
Vandy players were pissed and some left the team after the stunt... then Vandy canceled on us last week.
Yup, lots of teams have. I thought we were going to need a student audition for kicker in 2017 before Parker White emerged.
Remember Florida had to go to a dental student to be a kicker not that long ago. Folks weren’t outraged about it though for some reason claiming he didn’t earn it or was a stunt. Can’t place my finger on why.
Florida names dental student backup kicker after open tryouts
21-year-old Neil MacInnes is 'a senior studying to be a dental ceramist' at the University of Florida. He's now also the Gators' backup placekicker.

Her teammates seemed genuinely happy for her. Just a cool moment. Not the end of the world. Everyone can still feel secure.
I’m happy for her, but Vandy is clearly pandering and ESPN and Disney will turn this into $$$. Sorry I see through the publicity stunt.

Only at Vandy. I’m glad she made it. Gives the news people something else to goggle about. She will probably get a vote or two for the Heisman.

Yikes. So you use an example that does the opposite of proving the point you think it does. The Florida kid kicked in high school, made a high school all star game, and hit 48 and 43 yard fg's in games. He also won the job against over 200 people trying out.
You compared that to someone who didn't have to tryout, she got a phone call and was like yeah I will come kick. Never kicked anywhere ect. It was a publicity stunt, anyone with half a brain knows this.
The guy that you guys are claiming must be the "long yardage" fg is 9-9 on pat's this season.
It doesn't bother me either way, I just feel like the whole thing is patronizing as **** "special teams player of the week" last week, this week she gets to kick extra points and not the short fg, but if it doesn't bother her, it doesn't bother me.
I think this is significant!
You're telling us Vandy scored a touchdown!?!?

How could you not know it. They have a kick-off player and a FG kicker that can kick for extra points.
I'm happy for her I guess but why should I be? Please as I said earlier, there is probably no one on this board that is more of a women's right advocate than me.
But, that does not deserve notoriety. First of all she was not the first girl to kick an extra point in college football, Liz Heaton was the first female to kick an extra point, in fact she kicked two extra points in 1997. An extra point is an extra point.
I thought it was the team Tater Lawrence threw her first td pass against. Maybe that would be first transgender score.
Is that the girl from New Mexico?
I guess this is where I am on it. It’s already been done. Why is she being celebrated as breaking some kind of glass ceiling?
So Sarah Fuller's extra point deserves notoriety? BULL! DOUBLE BULL! TRIPLE BULL! I could keep going but I won't.
Sarah Fuller would have won the game if not for the toxic men getting in her way!
I would respect it more if Liz Heaston was recognized as the first female who kicked an extra point in 1997 for Willamette University, in fact she kicked two extra points that year. Yes, Willamette was a Division III University but kicking an extra point is the same regardless of the size of the university.

She deserves the award anyway for having to live in a world where a bunch of middle aged dudes have to hate her and feel threatened as if she's taking something from them. Embarrassing.
