With the recent WOOF that resonated with very few cuntries other than north korea, a thought crossed my penal brain. CP has struggled with kicking through his career(at BSU prime example), as have many other top programs in the cuntry. With 85 scholy's, and all the shit prospects that end up never fielding snap, why is there less focus on the kickers who actually fucking change games?
I know there is an easy if you do X, Y happens type of conversation. However if we keep it black and white, if UW has a good kicker they very easily could have won the ASU game and changes the landscape to a top 4. UW isn't unique in this which is why i find it hilarious that kickers are like the retarded kid in the corner. They can be walk on's, shitty soccer players, whatever. But why aren't they more heralded in the recruiting sphere for value considering they are on the team for 4 years? It's almost as if you give a kicker a scholy he's got the job for 4 years regardless of if he's good. There is zero comp. @Dennis_DeYoung . I know kickers are your heritage* so please do not be bashful.
Even treating the kicker like a QB seems logical. 1 per season, maybe 1 every 2 years and create some sort of competition in the slot.
*Racust fucks I was talking about lack of legs for a kicker, not kickers being white

Just seems like there isn't enough differentiation in talent level to know who is worth a scholarship.
95 against Oregon and ND
Either they real good or they real bad.
If he made one of them, we would've gone to the Rose Bowl.
After 94 that was the final piece of evidence that Lambo was over his head as a coach
"I think a lot of people that come in from the outside and watch how we do special teams are really surprised how much time Coach Meyer spends on special teams compared to other head coaches," Nuernberger said. "He is in every single special teams meeting. Coach (Kerry) Coombs and Coach Meyer run the meeting. They are really involved in every single phase."

Just have Urban come coach your program for a few years while Pete watches.
Also -
the point of the poast is a good one. I think you could make an argument that K is the #2 overall position outside of QB in terms of effect on a team. I'm not sure it is, but I think it's fucking important.
If you consistently have one of the top kickers in the country, you are going to win a lot of close games.
If we had Jeff Jaeger (shoutout to another KJH and KM product!) in '16 and '17 we'd have won one more game each year, I think. It makes a big fucking difference to feel like any time you're inside the 40 you are going to score.
Even at Stanford - if we have an automatic kicker, we go up by 10 and probably never look back, but because we're worried Vizcaino can't make a 37 yarder, we go for it and snuff ourselves out.
