Ohh, settle down... You should have seen the uproar on my submarine veterans Facebook board when the Navy first let women serve on the boats a few years back. Holy hell, you'd have thought the world ended! Some of the old goats still act up toward it to this day.
This discussion was pretty tame by comparison...
December 12th, 2020 at 9:23 PM ^
Sure, but it's still depressing that people saw "first woman to score a point in a college football game" post and felt it was worthwhile to comment on how far her kick cleared the uprights.
December 12th, 2020 at 7:30 PM ^
Because a thread about the first extra point kicked by a one-legged player would contain fewer than 40 comments on MGoBlog... unless they played for Michigan.
December 13th, 2020 at 9:29 AM ^
But that's not really what anyone is saying. What they are saying is, she can barely kick an extra point and got co-player of the week for a pooch kick. That's total garbage. But hey, if you guys want to do back flips about it because she's a woman, knock yourselves out. Just stop screaming how open minded and accepting you are and calling guys that don't agree with it sexists. It's patronizing, end of story.
If a guy was pulled up from some other sport, as a backup kicker, started yelling at the 0-7 team to "get their heads up" and stay positive or whatever, they'd probably talk about how their new idiot kicker was running his mouth in the locker and tell him to sit down and shut up.
Total PR pandering move by a terrible football team. And oh, BTW...if she was kicking 40 or 50 yard FGs and touch backs, or even deep kicks and still being the last defender, I'd be there celebrating her with everyone else, but that isn't the case. A pooch kick, where she immediately starts making her way to the sideline (which is why they called the pooch kick, didn't want her involved in a return) and an extra point. The celebrating is embarrassing.
Neg away, bitches.

It's really awesome this happened, and credit to her and Vandy for making it happen.
December 12th, 2020 at 6:44 PM ^
Good for her. Hope it's not the last
December 12th, 2020 at 6:57 PM ^
This thread reads like a bunch of MGTOW dudes.
December 12th, 2020 at 6:59 PM ^
Congrats to her! And to Vandy for some small point of pride to think about for this year!
"BTW, Vandy has only 49 scholarship guys available today, and only 18 on defense."
So the worst team in the SEC can man up and play with 49 scholly players and a girl, but Michigan chose to stay home. Pending blowout, or not, that's pretty sad...
December 12th, 2020 at 9:25 PM ^
Ah yes, we should take out cues on handling a pandemic from the SEC.
December 12th, 2020 at 7:52 PM ^
Did she make the team on her own accord, her own expertise ? Can she kick a 50 yarder?
December 12th, 2020 at 8:26 PM ^
She's likely one of the best healthy kickers enrolled at Vanderbilt, so yes.
December 12th, 2020 at 8:31 PM ^
I can't imagine how much it must suck to live in a world where those would be the first questions you'd ask. Something cool happened, enjoy it!
December 12th, 2020 at 9:16 PM ^
From practice reports, her range was about 45.
December 12th, 2020 at 9:30 PM ^
To be fair, per practice reports, Joe Milton was a soon-to-be 1st overall nfl pick
December 12th, 2020 at 7:54 PM ^
Good for the girl.
I'm glad the beta males on mgoblog have something to cheer about this weekend.
December 12th, 2020 at 8:05 PM ^
This is awesome!
December 12th, 2020 at 9:23 PM ^
Seems like half this board came to post on this after attending their little Proud Boys rally in DC today.
December 12th, 2020 at 9:37 PM ^
Could be worse. They could have gone to a commie BLM rally and “peacefully”’ burned their own city down.
December 12th, 2020 at 10:33 PM ^
And there it is. Domestic terrorism is hilarious!
herpa derpa commie BLM
December 13th, 2020 at 4:43 PM ^
Can you tell me which cities have burnt down?
December 12th, 2020 at 9:35 PM ^
At least they had the guts to play
December 13th, 2020 at 8:53 AM ^
Wowwwww! This totally wasn't a publicity stunt from the coach of a winless team who thought they wouldn't fire him after he did it!!!!!
December 13th, 2020 at 9:51 PM ^
Probably no one is following this thread anymore, but serious question about Title IX to anyone reading who might know. If this is now a co-Ed or women’s eligible team, how does that work with # of available scholarships to men vs women, in regards to equal access? By letter of the law, is there an effect?
