re: Mo Isom makes 53 yarder in practice?

We have great kickers. Is it worth the scholly?

My bad, I thought we we're talking about a short fat kid and John Unitas vs momisom and the LSU football team.
Now it's tlee posts vs mo isom and espn.

Good spin.

Lots of publicity either way. She's already doing national interviews on Fox, CBS, etc.

I think people fail to realize that she posted this on her personal facebook. She didnt come to this site and say "heyyyy look at me, im playing football!!!"

I mean if you are friends with her on FB, you more than likely find nothign wrong with her updating you on her life; I mean this is why you'd follow her on facebook to begin with.

I don't think it is her making a big deal about it. I think it is other people who are taking the information available and running with it.

grow up!

Yes. For the publicity alone.

I had a dream too to be like Johnny Unitas.
I was 6 though.
At some point I realized it wasn't gonna happen.
Mo should follow my lead.

yeah but Mo's had this dream since her soccer eligibility ran out and she was out of opportunities to get on TV.

I'll never buy that her motives are because it's been a dream of hers to play college football. I feel like she's using the publicity to garner attention for other things. That's why it's annoying and needs to stop. We have a national title contender, and I'd rather hear people in the media talk about things pertinent to who will actually play rather than a chick trying to be the 5th string kicker. She's never going to make the team. Les made that clear in March. The same guys that were there in March are still there now, and all of them have been working out all summer just as much (prob more) as she has.

Exactly. If she's getting her name out there to spread god's word, or she's getting her name out there to make an Erin Andrews sized contract, I don't care. It'll be over in a week, makes our coach look like an awesome guy, and she chases a dream. I don't care. If she somehow makes it...then wow....she has the same chance of Shep throwing a pass as she does kicking an extra point in a 63-3 pasting of Towson.

but see, we went through all this last spring. it looks like a circus now. and les really has no choice in the matter. he can't tell her "no you can't try out." his ONLY option is to give a generic complimentary sound byte to appease the media and cut her. even if he was an a-hole, it would be retarded from a PR standpoint to do it any other way. I'm annoyed by it because it makes the football team look bush league. I'm just glad we haven't had to hear as much about it this year yet with all the practices being closed. It's also just annoying that it's actually a story. I mean she got on the Ellen show and various other talk shows for going to an open tryout and getting cut. Her real athletic career as a soccer player is actually compelling and heart warming. I wish she'd just leave it at that.

well she has over 5000 friends and another 4000+ subscribers (whatever that is). She also tweeted it, and she has another 10k followers there. I wouldn't exactly call that just her personal profile page where she's just trying to communicate with her close group of friends.

If those people don't want to read what she had to say then they probably shouldn't have friended or followed her. She didn't force their hand.
