Graham Gano, a Groza finalist from Fla St and the likely winner IMO, was 5-7 from 50+ this year.

Does he look taller close up?

Wow - now that is a stretch...even for you!

Sorry.

I never whine. I leave that up to you and your ilk.

I am doing home remodeling and can not put up the lights this year. It is my Christmas present to all ponyfans. I am throwing money everywhere I am able to spur the economy.

Yeah, but with less heat due to no lights at your house, won't the metroplex be colder? And thus, increasing our heating bills?

Sorry, couldn't help responding to this after this past weekend........

This one won't make your list because they didn't attempt more than 3 over 50 yards, but Alex Henery's 57-yarder to win the Nebraska-CU game was pretty amazing.

(I would also say that having a good defense might be the more significant factor in not needing a distance kicker........if you have confidence in your defense, you just punt from that distance--unless time is running out like it was for Nebraska last week.)

I remember when we couldn't even kick a punt or make a 25 yard field goal. PB's special teams sucked! Long live the swinging gate!

When I saw the title of this thread, I thought we were going to have a "Jimmy The Greek" moment here.
