Why do we keep swing posts about the girl who kicked the ball for Vandy?
Cool she appeared in the game and made the kick.
She tried to get the guys to cheer a bit more and then shared it.
Interesting how interesting that is to people.

That's not anything unusual for a soccer player.

Yep. That is not a long kick.

It's amazing how far a person can kick a soccer ball with a 30 mph backwind.

^^^^ Look at the flag in the background. Gotta be 15mph at least.

"Nearly" = half the length of the field.

Yes, the distance to midfield where it was kicked was about the same as the distance to the baseline where it landed
El Jefe

That seems 100% standard for a soccer player to kick the ball that distance

She's better at her sport than 99% of us. Good for her. Anybody with anything against her personally is an idiot.

I’m sure she realizes that she’s nowhere near qualified. She’s a willing participant in this stunt.
NihonCougar

Why isn't she qualified? What qualification are needed to be meant to be a kicker on college?
IceBlueCoug
11/30/20 11:51am
Kickoff into the end zone and 50%+ on FGs from 40yd would be a good start.

The normal Vandy kicker is 2 of 4 from inside 40 yards, 1 of 3 from 40+

Is she more qualified as a kicker than others who want the position at Vandy?

I don't think anyone is hostile to the idea of putting her on the team.

I think some people in this very subthread are hostile to that idea. Luckily not many.

I’m not comparing women to men. She’s a higher percentile in women’s soccer than 99% of the board in their sport.

At the BYU soccer games, they have (adult) fans come on the field and attempt to kick a goal from midfield
El Jefe
11/30/20 3:34pm
Are those fans kicking as hard as they can?

I'd assume so, after seeing the purple on front of them not have the distance
