You know, with the weather getting as hot as it is, could you at least soak it in ice before you throw the wet blanket all over the team?

Not that I'm disagreeing with anything you've said. I'm taking a 'I'll believe it when I see it' stance towards the kicking game right now. I think you summed it up best when you said the outlook for next year as ".....well, it's not like it can get much worse than last year...."

Oh It can always get worse. It can get to UVAs level. 0-8.

UVA-level kicking:

Against Duke, they lined up for a FG, kicked the ball (it was good), but got whistled for a false start. On a field goal. They line up another five yards back (still only about a 42-yarder or so) and promptly kick it wide right.

Also, they missed a game-winner against Maryland. That was funny too.

First off, this was both funny and accurate

Projected starter:Your guess is as good as mine.

Also, Carson Wise. If I was a betting man, I'd put my money on him to be our kicker next year.

I am not sold on Carson Wise...here is his HUDL footage.

I think this gif is the perfect microcosm of Cody Journell's VT experience.

"11-0, bro"
-Hunter Carpenter (probably)

He'd have to pull a gun on the ball, first.

In the old days of Beamer Ball, our punt block team used to have this type of effect on opposing punters....

Give the kid (cody ) a break, he was high as high as hell.

That's REALLY high

We actually had one like that ... And then CFB got tired of footage like this, and asked Danny Coale to punt.

Or fake a punt...that didn't work out too well.

......sigh......

.... WHY?

Taking a timeout before a routine punt, no better way to signal that we were doing something "tricky." I screamed at the TV for that entire play.

The problem was, Danny knew Danny Coale was open and couldn't find him.

This is going to be great for the ACC.
