Sarah Fuller, PK, Vanderbilt
  • Fuller made history Saturday, becoming the first woman ever to officially take the field during a football game in a and major conference football game.
  • Served as the Commodores' primary kicker during the team's contest at Missouri.
  • She took the opening kickoff of the second half against the Tigers, as her perfectly-executed kick sailed 30 yards and was downed at the Missouri 35-yard line. She joined the likes of New Mexico's Katie Hnida and Kent State's April Goss as the only females to appear in a Football Bowl Subdivision contest.

Do most teams usually squib kick the opening kick off the second half? I guess I've haven't watched enough Mizzou this year to know they have such potent kick returners. Even then, you would think the strategy would be to kick it through the endzone.

I have zero issue if a female makes the team because she is better than the boys, but let's stop pretending she's some great athlete because she had a kick-off on par with middle school boy kickers. If we accept Vandy's side of the story, she got the job because the entire kicking unit was out due to COVID, they don't have a men's team, and they couldn't hold open tryouts due to the student body being gone on break. What's the message we send to little girls? If you work hard, you too can have a chance to play football during the next pandemic?

Oh, she's petty. She knows she sucked, but can't take the heat. Poor little SJW.

From the article:

Quote:

Indeed, Vanderbilt sent out a tweet after the bad kick with a picture of Sarah Fuller and the words "history made." The tweet reads: "Sarah Fuller. Remember the name. #PlayLikeAGirl." Credit where it's due: they walked the walk. They really did play like girls. And lost by 41 points because of it.

One of her Instagram pics with a black chick on her team, wearing a BLM shirt and a mask.

She's definitely a SJW.

To top it off she lectured the guys at half time about supporting each other... A player that's been on the team less than a week.. That didn't go through the grind everyone had.. Wow.. Im sure that went over well.

And Clay Travis brought up a good point-- why did she get the job over the punter? This has gimmick written all over trying to save a failing coach's job. No wonder the players gave up on the team with that bs going on.

Not to get into the Vanderbilt kicker thing. One of the best kickers TAMU had was Scott Slater. Not only could he kick, he could hit. I can't remember which game it was but he knocked a return guy into the next week.

She's an sjw because she's a girl and took an opportunity offered to her? And then had the audacity to try and defend herself? Ok.

It was a completely transparent, bs, publicity-grabbing stunt, nothing more. She got used like a *****, and Mason still got fired.

No, she's a SJW because of this.

Talk about believing your own hype ... If you look closely, that wasn't anywhere near the full field. It went from the edge of the center circle to the 18-yard box. Soccer field dimensions vary a bit, but that made it about 45 yards from ground to ground. Since a soccer ball goes further than a football, that translates to about a 35-yard kickoff or a 30-yard field goal.

If I was Kadarius Toney I'd decline the award. What an absolute joke and an insult to women. Haven't read all the posts on this thread but anyone else think the squib kick (if that's what is was) was called to reduce the risk of her getting lit up on a 40 yard kick getting returned?

You're right. She made the team because of her abilities rather than a PC stunt.

Why sad? She was in on it. She is an adult.

The best White Knights are the ones who come charging in informing everyone how they have two DAUGHTERS and they are so proud that a woman did so and so.

Vanderbilt kicker Sarah Fuller became the first woman to play in a Power Five college football game, but Missouri shutout Vanderbilt and rarely allowed them to cross midfield. On the next day, Vanderbilt fired head coach Derek Mason. Vanderbilt went 0-8 and lost 5 of those 8 games by 21 or more points. The three teams that beat Vanderbilt by 7 or fewer points are Texas A&M, Mississippi State, and Kentucky.

I'm not doubting this, but do you have a source for the naive who think Fuller really earned that spot?

If they wanted to use a female payer, they should have used one that had a comparable skill level to whoever already held that position. This was more of a "little Billy has cancer so we're going to let him score a touchdown on the big stage" move. It's a nice gesture but it was done out charity, not actual opportunity. In doing so she didn't earn or prove anything and the whole ordeal only takes away from when a female does deservedly merit a position on a P5 team.
SgtBarbarossa

If they had put her in an actual position to prove herself it wouldn't have been so hollow. I think she should have played incognito until making a fieldgoal and revealing that she was a woman in surprise fashion, probably playing out poorly

This thing is about to blow up. Vanderbilt's kicker from 2019, Ryley Guay, is in medical school at VU and has a season of eligibility remaining as he redshirted as a freshman. When their regular kickers went into quarantine last week, he agreed to come back on the team to help out, but he wasn't able to clear the COVID protocols and such fast enough to play last week. He's apparently near completing that now and has been practicing with the team and kicking well this week. Despite clearly giving the team its best option (and a better one than the walk-on starting kicker this season), he's been told that he would be behind Fuller on the depth chart even after he's approved to play. Reports are starting to come out in the last couple hours that at least another half dozen Vanderbilt players have opted out as a result, including a captain.

I'm not angry. Just calling out the BS you're buying hook, line, and sinker.
aTm2004
How long do you want to ignore this user?
Yep. That's my position on it. If she had actually earned it and beaten out other people trying out, including current kickers on the team that are eligible (punters), then I wouldn't have an issue with it. But she didn't. The opportunity was given to her solely by the fact she's a woman.

She'll give a pre-game speech about how they were quitters.

Edit

Here's an article about the situation going on at Vandy.

Quote:

"We are continuing to evaluate guys on the roster. If we can add something to the competition, we will. We want to make sure we have the best available (kicker) for our team."
...
Guay was Vanderbilt's primary placekicker for the past two seasons, and he made 22-of-33 field goals and 66-of-66 PAT kicks in his career. He also kicked off 77 times in 2019 and 2020.
...
"There are a lot of steps we'd have to go through in terms of eligibility in bringing him back.

"But if it's a possibility that we could get him back, we'll certainly take a look at him if he can make our team better."


And my favorite part of the article
Quote:

If Fuller remains the primary kicker, she could get a second chance to score against Georgia.
They got shut out by effing Mizzou. Do they think they're going to be better against Georgia? It's like being shot down at 1:53 am by the lonely fatty at the bar and deciding to talk to the dime piece hanging out with a bunch of pretty boys.
