OT: Kicker's commitment video w/private plane

Submitted by East German Judge on July 11th, 2015 at 10:50 PM

For those of you who are tired of the "hat/shirt ceremony" when a young man (or woman) announces their college choice, you will love Quinn Nordin, the #1 ranked 2016 kicker, and his twitter video shot from inside & outside of a private plane (owned by Bruce Farrington - I think) he is riding in as he commits to penn state with Diddy's song coming home playing in the background. I shed a tear, it was beautiful. Did I mention that he was a kicker?

I can not imagine what Rashan Gary's announcement will be like?

At this point he has been humble in his process. I'm confident he won't do this crap but I just don't know.

You are right, I was not trying to single out Rashan at all, but more so making the point that what will any of the MUCH MORE higher ranked high school athletes do than this kicker. I hope they all will have a level head and stick to the hat ceremony at their high school and not try to out do Quinn.

Unless he comes in on a space shuttle or Bengal Tiger, I don't think you can top Crowell's puppy announcement or this dude's plane announcement.

A fucking kicker too... LOL

That's probably the dumbest commitment announcement I've ever seen. I award him no points, and may God have mercy on his soul.

When I read that what flashed into my memory is the scene from Pride and Prejudice where Lady Catherine de Bourgh dismissed Elizabeth Bennet: "I take no leave of you, Miss Bennet. I send no compliments to your mother. You deserve no such attention. I am most seriously displeased." :-)

FWIW, I saw Nordin's video as pretentious nonsense, but harmless enough.

He couldnt at least... Kick a bus out of the way to uncover who he committed to? Lol I doubt that plane ever even left that ground. Is he originally from PA? Otherwise this song doesn't make sense... He steps off the plane like he's awaiting fans and paperzzi to start snapping shots... Only thing funnier would've been if he gave the Nixon double peace sign and Kissed a baby wearing a PSU onesy

No room at the inn. The kid made it clear he wanted to commit to UM but with Andrew David in this class and no clear scholarship the two sides mutually parted ways

(Or women) - normally would not be necessary but in this case I think it may be because a girls best shot at a football scholarship would probably be as a kicker.

Having offers from basically everywhere and choosing Penn State shows you that something is wrong with this kid, and this video confirms it. I hope he misses every kick. (I'm 18; I don't even own a lawn for you to get off)
