Quote from: vegashog on Jan 05, 2026, 08:13 AMthat explains signing two kickers.

rail on these guy during the season, but when they transfer it's somehow a loyalty thing?

I'm not convinced this one wasn't processed. 

He has talent, but also showed an inability to make kicks in close/late situations.  Hopefully Silverfield and the new ST coach realize that clutch ability/inability is a thing when it comes to head case kickers.

He was 14-18 on the season, and 100% on PATs.  Calling a Freshman kicker who was 3-6 from 40-49 yards and 2-3 at 50+ yards is incredible... no wonder our fanbase doesn't deserve good teams.

Not that Starzyk was going to be the second coming of the NFL distance record holder, but Cam Little was 20-24, 13-16, and 20-24 in his three seasons here.

For $7 mil I'll put a webcam in front of my shitter so I can answer fan questions while I drop the Longhorns off in College Station.

Once authored a post that critics claimed, "Was notaslibro level."

I can only think of one time where Little missed a clutch kick...granted it was a big one against aTm in 2022.  By that point he had already beaten LSU in Baton Rouge with a game winner. 

Maybe it was a little early to process him (if that happened - it's just speculation on my part that they might have) but the timing of when Starzyk missed his FGs was a red flag. 

A golf analogy is appropriate here.  It's a lot easier to sink a three foot putt when you're playing for fun versus when you have bets on it that may cost you and your partners a good bit of cash.

Also...whatever the reason(s) for the current kicker leaving, it's a good thing we didn't just sign one and hope he works out. At least we have some semblance of a competition with the two transfers coming in.

I keep having flashbacks to AJ Reed (or whatever his name was) bricking a chip shot that would've tied LSU in 2020.

I suspect Starzyk might end up wherever Fountain goes.

I may have been harsh on the kid for his missed FGs, but I think it's a little early to abandon the dream in favor of selling used cars.

He didn't hit the portal until we signed 2 other kickers over the weekend. Doesn't sound like he was "disloyal" at all.
The Lord wants you to put your foot on their balls and believe in it. 'Cuz that's what wins football games. Not jumping offsides like a bunch of wimps and faggots. I don't care what those pinkos over in Russia say. You want to be a loser? You go live in Russia. I'm a winner. I'm an American.

247 guy says that he wanted more money and was shopping around before he said he was coming back. said he was returning but never signed the paperwork. staff wanted a yes or no on their offer and when it didn't come, they signed the guy from tennessee. 

i'm sure every team is going thru stuff like this.

49 tackles, 11 tfl, 4.5 sacks. had an auburn visit after ours.

have to wait and see how he translates to the sec but we pretty much need an entire two deep on defense.

I picture these interviews being like that scene in Pinky Blinders where Tommy hands out the different sized stacks of money to everyone.
