Don't we have a half way decent walk on coming this fall?

 

[HornsRuleU]

That sentence doesn't exactly quiet my heart, much less fill it with joy.

For a kicker, I can handle "walk-on" but "a" (one) and "halfway decent" trouble me. Texas will lose close games unless this need is met.

Back in the day when he was winning NAIA national championships and being waaayyy ahead of his time as a college coach, Gil Steinke of Texas A&I used to get the best young soccer players in Mexico to try out as kickers. In those days almost nobody trusted the "sidewinder" kickers, preferring the straight on guys. A&I always had one of these guys kicking field goals consistantly from 40 yds or so.

The point of all this is why in hell cant we get some soccer guys to come in here and deliver?
