Derek Mason’s woke statement yesterday

[Beastdog]

Tennis and volleyball are "chick sports?" Good one. I could seriously hurt you in either of these sports, brutusbuckeye. Not. Chick. Sports.

You might also be able to defeat me in a twerking contest. But it would still be a pretty gay activity for us to engage in.

Tennis and volleyball are not chick sports.  Dancing is a sport?

I agree that judged events and sheet like that hardly constitute a sport, and as such volleyball and tennis are the only ones of that group that meet my criteria. But I wasn't going by my criteria so much as what is offered as a "sport" at, say, the collegiate level. As such, figure skating, gymnastics, cheerleading, synchronized swimming, etc all involve at least an element of dancing. 

Look, I'm not trying to bag on chick sports here. I like fitness babes just as much as the next guy. But certain sports are more aesthetically pleasing if men are playing, while others are more so when the competitors are female.

I'm not going to watch a couple of poofters play a game of tennis against each other, but if you want to stuff a couple of leggy blonds into tennis skirts then Hell yes. 

The problem is that the women's sports that are crammed down our throats are not chick sports. It's basketball, softball, soccer, etc. So what you get is a bunch of bull dykes playing vastly inferior versions of popular men's games. That sucks. Eff the WNBA, give me a professional Volleyball league. 

If you are going to bludgeon us with chicks playing dude sports, then at least have the decency to pattern it after the LFL as opposed to employing the model set forth by the Columbus Comets.

Poofters?  Lol, I'd like to see you step on a court vs Nadal, Federer, or Djokovic.  

Or even Beastdog lol.

I never played tennis but I've always considered it a highly athletic AND skilled sport.  Some of those serves come close to what, 110-120 MPH?  The ground you have to be able to cover, etc...  

Overall athleticism can only take you so far though.  You MUST work on your skills or fugetaboutit

I'm debating a little bit to myself if golf or tennis is more frustrating.

I would normally say golf, but seeing as I had 2 service games Sunday that I was up 40-30 in and proceeded to have 3 straight double faults I am not so sure. Felt like the Yips or shanks in golf. At least in tennis there is an opponent and their play affects yours. Sure I gambled a ton on the course, but the course is the opponent, and it just lays there. Every mistake is on you.

One of the "interesting" aspects of my tennis game (could be considered a strength or a weakness, depending on your perspective) is my outright refusal to double fault. I just cannot fathom giving my opponent a free point. So, there is quite a difference between my first and second serve. Probably a 2:1 velocity ratio lol, maybe more.

[Erhino]

Yeah, it was an anomaly...kind of. I have won games with 5 dubs. Scary part is my serve was/is a strength. My 2nd serve is usually solid topspin or kick, but I was dumping it into the net like a fiend, then compensate.

My interesting aspect is I seem to play better the less I play. I think I start grooving bad habits. The Rona has me playing no hoops, and more tennis. I even played USTA for the first time in like 7 years.

Sarah Fuller going for SEC Player of the week 2 weeks in a row. " Playing" against Georgia this week.

[Alabuckeye]

Iâ€ll be impressed if she

Kicks it with some gumption

Or

Stays on the field and actually plays coverage.

She won't stay on the field. And if she did I'm sure the other coach would tell his players under no circumstance are you to touch her, which actually would be smart football since there would be zero reason to waste a blocker on her. 
this charade would be more effective if it were one and done. Vandy is a joke though so might as well let the clown show continue. A serious coach would obviously let one of his players kick off or recruit a guy from the men's club soccer team. What if it were a one point game and Vandy had a 40 yard FG for the win?  I'd be pretty pissed if I were a player on that team and no chance of making it.

Or use the student that reached out that was one of the top local HS kickers. Total joke and publicity stunt that is failing. Might as well double down and at least give her a real kick, not that I believe it was a “Perfectly executed squib.”

Even worse... https://ftw.usatoday.com/2020/11/vanderb...ime-speech







No wonder they quit. Can you imagine the eyerolls she was getting. Mason definitely deserved be canned. That locker room has to be a mess.

According the Clay Travis, last year's kicker is still enrolled with eligibility and wants to play, but they are doing this instead. Strange.

Side Note:
My Father Coached HS and College FB for over 45 Years and was as part of his Coaching expertise a Special Teams Coach.

Kickers , Fg's, Punters , Xtra Points , Punt Blocks the whole 9 yards.

Is #1 Rule for a Kicker in any situation was if you Kick it and it is being returned YOU BETTER make the Tackle to stop a score. They were always the last line of defense. No matter the situation.

So Vanderbilt is basically playing with 10 Defenders and the Safety valve for a Kick Off Team being the Kicker as the last line of Defense is running to the sidelines . LMAO.

I hope Georgia takes a full on aggressive approach to returning her " Kick" and takes it to the house so the replay over and over can show her bailing off the field as the returner steams by on his way to the end zone.
The only way to stop this nonsense.....

According to people on the CFB Reddit, players are pretty pissed about the situation all around. Apparently, the coach let her make a halftime speech to the team where she basically berated them for being losers. The players think she is there for a publicity stunt, and not because she is the best option, which is corroborated by the fact that they are trying to stop their graduate kicker from getting his eligibility back to relieve the situation, as mentioned in a post above.

[Soupcity Kid]

I wonder if there was a conscious intent by the liberal think tanks having her kick the extra point today the same day as  the Army Navy Game??

[3rdgensooner]

Kind of a weak low kick. I figured a female soccer player could kick harder than that. Guess I was wrong. Kicker is a girl's position anyway so who cares?
