We will get by. We will get by. We will get by. We will survive.

Haven't seen this kick, but I remember Hershey's kick quite well.  His punt went no less than 70 yards in the air from where he was standing, so approximately a 60 yard kick by the book and then eventually rolled about 10-15 yards into the endzone for a touchback. I believe there was a gif uploaded on here, but that was before the server reset. Rooting for Akron is like cheering on the Taliban.

Edit:  Here is the thread but the link to the GIF doesn't work anymore.  I don't think Tim deletes anything, hopefully we can get an updated link to the image. http://www.bobcatattack.com/messageboard/topic.asp?ForumP...

Rooting for Akron is like cheering on the Taliban.

Rolled about 4 deep into the endzone. I thought I had just seen a nearly 100 yd punt. n00b Back to Top 71 BOBCAT General User Member Since: 12/20/2004 Post Count: 1,903 Status: Offline     RE: 81 yard punt by BG punter    Posted: 9/4/2011 7:22:10 PM  Hershey's now in the Ohio record book for the longest punt.
