This is why she was asked to join the team

That's not anything unusual for a soccer player.

She was at midfield.

Yep. That is not a long kick.

It's amazing how far a person can kick a soccer ball with a 30 mph backwind.

SierraCoug

^^^^ Look at the flag in the background. Gotta be 15mph at least.

I expect she could be a decent football kicker with practice

"Nearly" = half the length of the field.

Yes, the distance to midfield where it was kicked was about the same as the distance to the baseline where it landed

El Jefe

11/30/20 11:44am

That seems 100% standard for a soccer player to kick the ball that distance

kotacoug

It was 100% a PR stunt. End of story.

Go to 12 year old Boys club soccer games and what she did is a regular occurrence...

She's better at her sport than 99% of us. Good for her. Anybody with anything against her personally is an idiot.

shimmy

I’m sure she realizes that she’s nowhere near qualified. She’s a willing participant in this stunt.

NihonCougar

11/30/20 11:49am

Why isn't she qualified? What qualification are needed to be meant to be a kicker on college?

IceBlueCoug

11/30/20 11:51am

Kickoff into the end zone and 50%+ on FGs from 40yd would be a good start.

NihonCougar

11/30/20 11:56am

The normal Vandy kicker is 2 of 4 from inside 40 yards, 1 of 3 from 40+

krindorr

Is she more qualified as a kicker than others who want the position at Vandy?

Why the hostility to them adding her? The backlash against this is puzzling to

I don't think anyone is hostile to the idea of putting her on the team.

I think some people in this very subthread are hostile to that idea. Luckily not many.

shakarocks

11/30/20 11:56am

Most don't have anything against her, it's the media propping it up to be more

I get the media criticism, and I agree that many people aren't holding it against here. But there are enough people

Wow. You seem to care an awful lot about something you claim to not care about.

Dude. That kick is from nearly half. Anyone can do that.

YSMACK

I’m not comparing women to men. She’s a higher percentile in women’s soccer than 99% of the board in their sport.

At the BYU soccer games, they have (adult) fans come on the field and attempt to kick a goal from midfield

El Jefe

11/30/20 3:34pm

Are those fans kicking as hard as they can?

I attend those games and 2 things to that

YSMACK

True, cleats would definitely be better

Probably. I tend to exaggeration.

Length of the field? That must mean something different in Tennessee.

I think it might have something to do with an 0-8 team looking for any positive press to distract fans.

Why do we keep swing posts about the girl who kicked the ball for Vandy?
