Our cover guys can almost beat the return guy to the ball when it hits around the 20 to 30 and hardly no return due to hang time.


unless the wind blows the ball back to the 40-50.
not knowing anything about kicking, it seems a very bad idea to kick high when the wind is gusting at high velocity.

Since this is a panic topic. Will it be too hot or too windy for the fans? Actually, It might be too cold in the shaded west stands with the wind chill.

hmmm......this is sounding suspicious.
does the navy have some secret, special weapon to control the weather that they use when they play us?? :D

they definitely do

Something has to be done with our punting into the wind, maybe this, something.

If it's windy, go fly a kite. In fact have a kite flying contest in the south end, on the Mockingbird side of the fence. If you have several up at different altitudes levels, one can see at what height the wind is the weakest. If this doesn't work, then the idea just blows. :D

Run Zach Line. Throw in Jared Williams for a blow. Quick short passes to DJ, Cole, and 1-2 bombs per quarter when we are going into the wind since JJ seems to like to overthrow the deep ball. Don't see the issue. Seems like perfect weather for us to me.

Well, 86 panicked because the one I did before the So. Miss game led to a loss. He asked me not to do anymore if that happened. But that's kind of silly...
