When a coach changes the game plan to fit a new qb’s strengths and weaknesses they are heralded as a genius.


You mean a coach is heralded as a genius for making the decision that gives his team a chance to do well.

As opposed to making the decision to give the opposing team the ball with decidedly great field position, just so you can put your PR stunt in the game?

Your lack of common sense is showing again

and plenty of male kickers execute squib kicks every week and no one bats an eye. Wonder why this situation is different...


How many of those male kickers are interviewed after the game for the squib kick?

How many are called heroes for their squib kick?

How many are given player of the week honors for their squib kick?

I wonder if you’ll actually answer any of these questions this time...

To be clear, your position is that with no knowledge of the exact personnel involved or any of the decision making process, you are qualified to make a definitive judgement that gender was the only factor in a personnel decision.


To be clear, you are doing the exact same thing, except arguing that it wasn’t.

Regarding a player who did absolutely everything they were asked to do including 2/2 PATs


And was only given those opportunities because of her gender, not because she earned them.

I take comfort that actual college football analysts agree with me,


You take comfort in the fact that members of the media are pushing a progressive agenda? What were you saying earlier about living under a rock?

You say as you continue white knighting for the ultimate argument prop to protect her honor.

This is why I brought up Jackie Robinson. Of course the fact that she was the first woman to play in a P5 game was a factor in the interviews and publicity. Just like Jackie Robinson got more attention for breaking the color barrier than other players who might have had similar stats. You are simultaneously saying she got the opportunity because of gender and that you don’t understand why it’s such a big deal. Just doesn’t make sense to me.

Do you feel just as strongly about all the other coaches who give opponents starting field position around the 35 due to squib kicks? Somehow I don’t think so

No. I’m saying that I have no reason to doubt coaches who say that she was the best option. she was qualified for her role regardless of why she got it in the first place. And the fact that you can’t admit that she was capable is based on your own bias rather than any verifiable facts.
