There was a time when I feel like we could have blocked every punt if we had wanted to. Punters would get so scared that they'd forget to catch the football. Those were the days.

Then there were the punters who would fall with great exaggeration to get the flag for running into/roughing the punter even though they never got touched. Or they'd do it, hoping for the flag, not realizing we blocked it, so it didn't matter.

And I think it was NC State, but I could be wrong...their punter switch to rugby style to avoid the block. Only ever kicked rugby style against us, never against another team.

This is amazing!
Also, I'm really glad for video quality advances! Watching old film hurts my eyes.
I don't think the announcer knows what a legend is based on the coaches at the beginning.
and that folks is how you create an identity!
Ugh please somebody hurry up and invent a time machine.
That video is awesome. I didn't remember us being ranked in 1990, though.
Edit: looks like we were 25th in the final coaches poll with a 6-5 record.
frankkkk!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!11
This got me in my feels.
Skillshare before Skillshare existed
Okay, who is going to email this to Shibest?
It's not something that Fuente would tell you...
Hopefully this is Fuente telling McClease that King is getting the majority of snaps going forward.
King's body cant handle the majority of the snaps
This video got me so happy and so sad at the same time.
We were so lucky to have CFB. Next time I see him I'm hugging the shit out of him.
Awesome video.
We should hire that guy.
(Also the guy who makes an appearance at 17:15)
Love those guys.

I feel like Beamer's early 2000 teams played a big part in changing the way teams punted, that is, the shield formation.
I'd like to regain that reputation, but even at the end of the Beamer years, we got some costly flags for contact on non-blocked punts.
Some of those punters deserved Oscars for those Chevy Chase pratfalls.
