Looking the part

Confession time:

There’s a part of me that wonders how this guy isn’t kicking for Georgia Tech.  There, I said it.

    He must prefer the goggles over contacts. My daughter had a Portuguese class with him last fall and said he was a really nice guy.

    Good for him … my kids are already calling him Geek Chic.

      I trolled his social media just to get a look at his face and hair. Those are just for football…he wears much more subtle ones when in street clothes.

      I’d much rather have a little nerd like Billy Bennett than …how do I put this….”let’s rip my shirt off and go tubing on Lake Oconee!!!”

    Maybe it’s like being named Sue. He’s really a badass and will also be starting at free safety next year.

      Nah, the UK linebacker named Courtney Love is like being named sue.
      I was surprised Smart let him be interviewed, then decided it was a bit devious and he was trying to get his confidence up. Thought he did great on the interview, considering the circumstances. He did manage to grab control of a couple of stupid questions, though, which is awesome. A little more polish and he can go to SEC days 😎

      Too bad the Harlem Shake fad is over–he would be a natural in the helmet and glasses.

    Even jocks need the balance of some studious nerds in their midst for “Team Balance”. LOL

    One of the lessons in life….never judge a book by its cover and never a man by his looks.

    He wants an education instead of a trade?

    And I say that as an engineer.

    I don’t quite get the Wild Thing moniker beyond the glasses. The kid isn’t all over the place with his kicks, so we need to find something better, methinks.

    Those are virtual reality goggles. He thinks he’s playing quidditch in medieval England.

      OH!! How awesome would that be to play that music every time he comes on the field to kick a FG?! Too bad we don’t have that type of creativity among those in charge.

    He’s much too Smart to be kicking for Tech.

    Poindexter. Less bad mojo than calling him Wild Thing. And according to my daughter he is becoming a campus star — very good natured about classmates having pics made with him. Bluto’s right — a lot of fun has been sucked out of UGA football this fall. Poindexter is happening at just the right time.
