OT: Female college soccer player trying to become the LSU kicker (I now have a crush on her)
Just watched this interview on tv and thought it was actually a pretty good story. Her dad committed suicide and then she was in a horrible car wreck and came back from it all to keep playing. Now she's trying to kick for the football team. I'm not that surprised that the players have taken her in and supported her efforts since she's insanely attractive, but I am pretty surprised that Les is even letting her try. I would say she could only be a good victory cigar, but I doubt you'd even lose that much strength by playing her over a scrawny male kicker in the case of a flukey tackle on a blocked kick or something. I know there was another girl that did this somewhere a couple years ago, but she didn't steal my heart like Mo.

She kicked a 31 yarder to help Pinckney beat Grand Blanc.

Man what a hottie. I would hold for her any day.
I just read the title and thought this might be Mo.. I'm friends with her sister, they both went to my highschool and youth group back in the day. The one thing that jumped out about her is she is 6'1+, and her sister is about 5'3 or shorter.. They are very sweet and its super sad what happened to their father. I had personally written her a letter a couple years ago when I heard what happened. Hope she gets to be the kicker! And there is this:

Watch that video, awesome.
come to UM for Grad school in some program only we offer...clearly the NCAA doesn't give a shit..
I heard the Hokies are seeking kickers who observe curfew.
Well I'm torn between cheering for someone breaking down barriers and contempt for bullshit postmodernism.
It's a good thing Barnett wasn't her head coach:
Wow... Her car accident looked exactly like mine. Thankfully I didn't roll my car, and I only had a broken nose and toe, but what she said about being in that situation and having a second chance in life is spot on. It was one of the hardest times in my life, and I know exactly what she went through. Waking up in a car and having no idea how you survied makes you look at the world in a completely different way.
I'll definately be rooting for her not only to make the team, but to keep inspiring people to live each day to the fullest.
I found her blog and was reading through it. She'd always been very religious and everything she went thru made her (very understandably, imho) rededicate herself to her faith. I found it a really impressive read (I say that as a confirmed agnostic) and I'm glad she's doing better. She sounds like a genuinely awesome person, athletics aside.
Also, yeah - total cutiepie.
