http://espn.go.com/college-football/sto ... talk-aboutKyle Field (12), Texas A&M. We all know the Aggies will yell at any hour of the day, including midnight for practice. But tee up a football at night and they really get giggity. Ask SMU quarterback Kyle Padron, a 3,000-yard passer in 2010 who was reduced to a panicked interception thrower Sunday night and benched after two disastrous series.
The diametric opposite of Brooks' perfect onside kick was the flub by SMU's Brad Namdar. Down 14-7 in the first quarter at Texas A&M on Sunday night, June Jones (32) went daring and called a slow-roller onside kick to be recovered by the kicker himself.
It appeared to be there for the taking -- except Namdar overran his own kick and had the ball bounce off the back of his foot after traveling just a few yards. It rolled backward for a net of 1 yard and the Aggies took possession.
"I don't know what else to do besides laugh," Jones said.
Another option besides laughter would have been to call that with a more experienced kicker. Namdar is a walk-on who had only been on the team for a few weeks.
When hungry in the football-loving town of Dallas, The Dash recommends a visit to The Porch (40). They've got some intriguing dishes -- smoked brisket enchiladas, short rib stroganoff -- but the burgers are the highlight. You can't go wrong with the expansive beer list, either.
