Wow that is crazy. I played against him my junior year in high school. Edison vs. Madison in the regional playoffs. In overtime all they needed was a extra point to win so I went in and tried to block it. Needless to say I missed after coming close and got an Ayers cleat to my manhood...:doh: He also was the free safety and I played receiver... good athlete.

I hope this pressures Frost into either signing and getting it done on the field or getting the heck out of town. I'm tired of inconsistent punters and kickers.

Frost has actually been pretty solid. He's had his share of good rolls to increase his average... but then again, the offense has a knack for punting while in the opponents territory (not allowing Frost to boot the ball as hard as he can). The only thing I'd harp on Frost is that he doesn't do coffin kicks. But oh well. Maybe that's Danny Smith's call.

He's been solid sometimes but coffin kicks are damn important for punters and I'm just not entirely comfortable with him yet--I think some competition will help him out

Oh, coffin kicks are definitely an asset. I don't think it's necessary but it can easily seperate an average punter from a great punter.

But it's a difference of comfort level. I'm perfectly fine with him... Suisham makes me a little nervous when he kicks. Frost, I'm not nervous at all about.
