SMU/Dallas mentions in Forde-Yard Dash

Kyle 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.

NAMDAR KICKED AT TECH! It's not like we grabbed some guy off the street and said "hey, wanna play football"?

Not only that, he is also a very diverse kicker, and did anyone not see the ball was moving off the tee when he was about to kick it?! Thats why they were on the field arguing they wanted a rekick because the ball was coming off the tee!
