fair catch kick
a guy at work pointed this out to me.
have any of you old schoolers ever seen this attempted? Has a LSU team ever attempted it?

I think Neil Rackers and the Cardinals attempted it not too long ago.

If 1969 is in the 90s, then you're correct.

Yep. St. Michael's. Only time I ve ever seen it (or anybody else had by the reaction of the crowd)but the kicker nailed it from like 63 yards.

Wasn't the ball on a tee though?

Yes. Under the rule, the kick is from the spot of the fair catch, you can use a kicking tee and the defense has to line up at least 10 yards from the ball. So, the kicker gets a full running start, and it is more like putting kick off thru the uprights that a field goal.

Is that only in high school?

Kicking tee is only in HS

It would be awesome if they could use a tee in the NFL.
People would certainly try it more often.

Probably not. It's only beneficial at the end of the first or second half. Alot of things have to go right to even have an opportunity at the kick.

NFL kickers could make it from the 35-40 consistently.
