re: Australian punter Jamie Keehn signs

"He's from Australia, I think that is the closest you can get to a pouch punter."

Didn't Michael Vick go to jail for being a pooch punter?

I know people don't think Wing will leave early, but I follow his twitter where he CONSTANTLY bashes the American education system.

He doesn't understand why he has to learn subjects that are not exactly what his major is. He continues to say that he hates school. If he was told he could get a roster spot, even if it was free agent, then I wouldnt be surprised for him to leave school. He doesnt really care about a degree.

I think you have a good point that can't be overlooked. Wing loves playing football at LSU, he despises school work though.
From my Aussie perspective, I can see why the school side of things is less than a priority.
Imagine travelling to the other side of the world, becoming a huge sensation, being extremely popular, chasing tail, having an amazing first season etc. etc. and then when the season is over, you are back to school work.
It sucks.
Especially for someone who doesn't really need a US college Education to fall back on.
LSU have to manage Wings next season carefully.
The Honeymoon is over.

One of Wings first comments, when first playing for LSU, was that he liked the idea of not running as much as Australian football.

Keehn on the other hand has a huge work-ethic and is versatile. (He may be able to hold down the other kicking duties as well)
