Old lady using that salty language again, eh? 😀 (jk, sorry- can't help you, hopefully one of the mods will see your post and alert tech support or recall a solution from prior/similar occurrences.)
I know there was a glitch in the system back in August 2018. Seemed to affect many at the time. Not sure what the problem was then, but seemed to have been corrected. Many PM'd @SavageDawg17 who apparently helped them correct the issue. You might try the same.
OK. I'm here. I was a DAWG fan before Herschel. I remember Willie McClendon running the ball. Larry Munson is the greatest announcer in CFB history. "Look at that sumbitch run!" Yes, I heard Munson say it on the radio, so it HAS to be OK to say it here.
@JeffSentell I've been listening to your Podcast for a long time. I've been a member on many different national CFB message boards for 10 years now. I like what you do and how you do it. I don't mean to poke the bear, but you are my type of UGA fan. While you wear the RedNBlack proudly, you don't let those glasses blind you. You, sir, speak truth. Even when it's painful.
Many times I've listened to the Podcast, and I've thought of questions that could make for an interesting conversation. Example: Today you discussed Prince Colley. I really enjoyed your take that he has the potential to be a leader on the field. Dude is just a fine young man and a very talented and intelligent athlete. I think he has the potential to be "Champ Bailey-esque".
Anyway, I'm happy that I jumped in here and I do hope that I can add a little bit to your forum.
GO DAWGS!
Welcome. Go Dawgs
How many posts do I have to make before I can join in on the regular football forum? I wrote a pretty long post in the Jared Zirkel thread just to find out that I didn't have "permission" to post it. I get it. I've been on CFB forums for a long time. Just curious.
You should be good now
Welcome @OldDevilDAWG and hope you stick around! The mods can be busy so best to quote them or “@“ them so they see it. @ghostofuga1 or @Kasey or @dawgnms can probably help you with your question.
Thanks, guys. I practically wrote an article about UGA kickers over the years. Starting with the first one I remember, Rex Robinson. Then when I hit "post", I really got kinda bent. My bad. I'll go back over there and try to recreate that masterpiece. It won't be worded the same but with luck, it will be as good as what I was trying to post earlier.
Keep in mind there’s a character limit too so if it’s too long you might need to break it up into two parts
Keep trying brother. May take a while to figure out the format, but we're here to help when we can.
And again, it told me I didn't have permissions to post. Here's what I tried to post there....
UGA has a LONG history of great kickers.
I remember when Rex Robinson was finishing his senior year and everyone was questioning what was gonna happen next. Robinson was a 3 time all SEC First Teamer and 2 time Playboy All American. He wrote the record book for UGA kickers. He hit 2 57 yarders his senior year.
We were worried about losing him.
Then we started hearing about this guy from Redan High School that had kicked 50 yarders with both feet.
Kevin Butler went on to break all of Robinson's records. Butler is still the only kicker in the CFB Hall Of Fame.
Marshall Morgan
Blair Walsh
Brandon Coutu
John Kasay
The list is truly impressive. UGA has rarely had a season without a great kicker in my lifetime. I remember all these guys.
Then we get "Hot Rod". He was pretty good, then he got the opportunity to work with Kevin Butler. As a "Grad Assistant", I think Butler took Rodrigo to the next level.
I've seen lots of film on Zirkel. He has the leg, and he has the attitude. That attitude is something special for kickers. It's all about "Clear the mechanism". Lock in, and do your job. He's good, and he's the right kind of good.
Yes, we do have a question at the PK position, but UGA has responded to that same question with resounding results for 4 decades that I know of.
Zirkel is the next great kicker at UGA. I'm confident he won't take long to show all of us.
Not sure what that is all about. I’m not an admin but maybe double check your email to see if it’s asked you to confirm anything. Otherwise I have no idea
Odd that it lets me post in this thread, but not in that one. That's not likely an issue with my membership and e-mail.
Welcome to the board OD. I made a similar comment about UGA kickers on a different thread not too long ago. Here's a link to the discussion.
@OldDevilDAWG Good to hear you mentioned Willie McClendon. I too enjoyed watching him run. As you probably know he had a 4 year NFL career but it was behind Walter Payton.
