Bert!

Expected him to miss the first one drifting right. He did. Told my cousin before the last one that usually when he misses right like that he over corrected and yanks the next one left.  Then we watched as he did. I was hoping that 38 was too close for it to matter but it was just far enough (after centering the ball a little for him).

I will expect him to miss every time he ever goes out there until he's no longer on the team. 

Very unclutch from medium distance and out.  Wish it weren’t so but we need a better kicker.  If you’re gonna routinely miss 45 yard kicks you better be straight money inside 40.  He wasn’t today.

The saddest part is you see college kickers make deep 40s and even low 50s kick with ease these days

If you can't make it from near middle then literally gtfo. 

 

If he's from left hash that last kick is about 10 yards wide left.

He’s better when he can fade the ball. Move it over to where he can do that, he is more accurate. Or close enough that the ball doesn’t have time to draw across the left post.  
 

obviously if the ball was at the left hash he would be aiming differently.

Kicker seems like the kind of one year rental that NIL should be able to hookup every year if need be. Find a good kicker at some shit school, and have someone make the call. Its a bullshit system, but it is the system, so we might as well take advantage of it. We cant run it back with Bert, he's getting worse not better.

Wait a second, do you actually think that humans approach everything exactly the same when their surroundings change?

You think that no matter where he was on the field, the kick would be the same?

Can't say for certain he would have made it, but god I hope you understand how illogical that is.

I think Auburn is actually complete fucking dog shit and you can't assume anything with his piece of shit self.

Let's not make this rocket science. It's kicking a fucking football through an upright. If you only successfully can kick from one hash, then you have the yips and suck. 

If have 2 chances to seal the win for your team and miss both times, you have the yips and suck. Oh yea, you also contributed to the loss in the SEC championship game. The team should probably leave your ass off the plane flight home.

No one gives a fuck which hash. Just make the fucking kick, any one of the 2.

That was his first miss under 40 yards all year. Crazy.

It sure feels like he has had a worse year than that.

Thought the same thing. I had a sense that he’s been shaky all year and was surprised how good he’s been inside 40…..well except….

Glad for him that he doesn’t have to wear a loss today around his neck for eternity

Is there some kind of place kicker guru coach we can bring in before the next game?  His kicks look completely different from last season. 

As I recall he always had a hook.  It made me nervous last year too.  Now it doesn't seem like he has any idea what the ball is going to do.  So yeah something's different.  It's like he tried to straighten his hook but does only some of the time and doesn't know when to compensate for it.

Sark cuddling him before the miss that would’ve won it was, frankly, bizarre.

Mack used to do the same thing before every big kick.  He did it to Tucker at Anm. 

Mack did this to Dusty Mangum in the ‘05 Rose Bowl (1:06 mark in the vid).
