More from Jacksonville: Kicking the kicker

Well, if we're talking language, I got that from my Pee Wee coaches.

But even they never kicked me.

Some pee wee coaches were the worst because they were usually frustrated dummy holders in high school now coaching to make sure their kids get to play so the volunteer.  My dad was a Gamecock football player (tight end)- Dad actually signed with Montreal (CFL)--so he was no slouch. when I was playing, he was still in his 20s.  He once saw a coach slap me in the helmet very hard (from behind) and it nearly knocked me down--he was excited because I made a tackle or something.  Dad came out of the stands and told him the next hand he puts on a kid will result in him putting his hands on the coach.  The coach said, "I was not mad at him." Dad said, "oh, I know.  If I thought that this conversation would have never gotten started."  The coach never hit any of us again.

“I’m the head ball coach, I’ll kick you whenever the fug I want”

what a POS.  But again, none of this is a shock.  Jags signed up for this.  

Oh if only that kicker had just slugged Meyer.  Just one good punch.  Meyer's career would have been over permanently.  Like forever.  Getting your ass handed to you by a kicker !   Oh the shame . . .

This seems like something that could be taken 2 ways.  Like, Meyer was probably doing all this jokingly.  I highly doubt dude just came up outta nowhere and maliciously booted his starting kicker in his plant leg, and then cussed him out.  Don't get me wrong here, im not defending Meyer at all, hes a douche nozzle...just saying it seems awful strange that a head coach, new to the job at this point, would come up and physically assault a player out of the blue, doesnt it?  Sounds like this was part of the full court press by the players to get Meyer canned.

    • Either way there's some tough teams on the schedule this year, on paper anyways. 
    • Same. I would prefer a MNF game earlier in the season. As if more likely has some significance in case things go south this season. If we perform well enough we could even get another game forced to a Sunday night spot later in the season. 
    • Wanted to jump into this thread. Although I do not post anymore I do look in as there are a few old friends around. Loved hearing some of the names you mentioned.  Another  oldie is NanceUSMC.  He is the one who got me here from the old Observer forum.  Good guy and smart football guy. I have learned a lot from a lot of good Huddlers over the years, Over time. we have sadly lost a few who left this earth too soon.  Anyone who know of someone, it would be nice to try to make a list.  One of the more recent, CosmoGirl,  was someone that kind of hit hard.  Life sucks sometimes. Some of the best times were when we had our own tailgate and could meet up in person.  I think it made us better. Several dedicated volunteers, lead by LiverMush, started setting things up in the wee hours of each gameday morning.  Don't know all those regulars but I remember JakeFlake was one.  For you newbies...each game,  a Huddler (or a group) sponsored the food for each tailgate.  Eating was free but a donation was asked for.  At the end of the year those donations were used to buy bicycles for Toys for Tots.  Over the years Huddlers bought a lot of new bikes for kids for Christmas.  (I am guessing a couple of hundred each year.)  We had a good time getting together, got to make friends in person, and then got to feel like you were doing something good. It was truly a community. I got to meet Dan Morgan at one of our tailgates...he brought pizza from his restaurant.  How many of you remember that?  Glad the restaurant did not make it....lol. Not only have people changed, and come and gone.....but the entire nature and purpose has changed. Nothing lasts forever and we move on but we still like to think about good times. Same reason we take pictures. Want to ask a question I have not seen anyone else mention......who remembers    "The Couch" ?  We have argued, laughed, lived the ups and downs of football and dealt with a little real life along the way.  A thanks to  the Mods who keep this going.  I am sure they sacrifice a lot of their time out of love for the forum and the Panthers. Take care my friends and be well.  I will close with my new favorite quote which I think is greatly needed in these difficult times.
