i don't know why so many people actually believe that. women, plain and simple, are not as strong as men


Me neither.

But why does this matter? A PK has to basically do two things:

1) Hit FG's
2) Consistently kick off deep

Only very occasionally the kicker has to be the last man to save a TD.

Our great-grandmothers could travel by stagecoach and help fight off Indian attacks. I doubt an athletic soccer player who regularly lifts with the team will wilt just because she is a woman.

I wouldn't think that's a good sign for her that her kicks don't reach the endzone. If I was trying out to be a kicker I know I'd try to put it out of the back of the endzone every time.
You don't think that's what she's trying to do?

Mo making the team and then actually getting the opportunity to score or contribute to the team would be awesome for the program and the school. Any dickless turd who belives differently is a...well, I just gave it away. I want my awesome athlete and Homecoming Queen to kick some arse on the gridiron!!!

Mo should make the team only if we sign the big Hawaian offensive lineman. That way they can act out scenes from Necessary Roughness. Manu Manu the slender with his sack poi dance.

Not wanting a female to be a part of the team doesn't make the opposing point of view holders "dickless turds". Please explain how any kicker, male or female, is kicking some arse by kicking off or kicking PATs.

If she makes our team we are going to be a HUGE joke. Imagine the shite Saban is going to say on recruiting trips. This is a VERY bad idea!

So 6'1 180 is a "smaller" guy now? You know that he didn't mean relative to college football players at a school like LSU, right?

If it wasn't that she was a lady, she wouldn't even be in the conversation right now. It's all about the fact that she's female, not that she's blowing any of the guys away. I don't care what any of you say, there is a reason the mens and women's sports are separate. Women are twice refined and ON AVERAGE, are not able to withstand the physical pounding that males are able to withstand. Those of you laughing at the thought of the AVERAGE man being stronger or better able to handle physical confrontation than the AVERAGE woman are ignoring all historical facts. How many of you that have a wife or girlfriend would not be able to EASILY handle them when it comes to horseplay/wrestling or contact football? Please.

Yeah there is a reason Olympic weight lifting is split between male and female. The people saying that women are just as strong as men are being dumb. Also it doesn't make me a sexist because I believe women aren't as physically strong as men

Yea, don't sign up with LSU. They have a smokin' hot 2nd team PK.
I'll retort by saying she'd attract more recruits than repel.
Just Meaux trying out increased the LSU brand recognition.
Isom has gone viral, even overseas.
