Re: '09 CO K Zach Grossnickle (Signed LOI to Colorado)
Didn't know where else to put this post, but I watched a youtube video tonight, and got sucked into the black hole of that place for too long. After a while I was bored surfing the youtube suggestions and I searched for "kicker tackle." A clip of our new kicker commit showed up in the results.
Now I've seen this clip before, but can someone explain to me how it ended up with more than 10,000 hits? Grossnickle's senior season highlight tape has like 1/10th of that number.
I don't think you see the hit number if you come at it from embedment, so you would have to go to youtube.com and put kicker tackle or kicker tackle or the actual title "kicker punter makes tackle causes fumble" into the search if you want to see the view number.
I figure the clip must have been picked up by some site and linked there?
Or is it just that people actually like watching kickers tackling or getting tackled and it's a popular search string in some other subculture?
It's not even that spectacular of a tackle. No offense intended - he did his job and caused a fumble - I'm just saying that can't be the reason anyone is watching. But it sure is popular.

Now these... these are tackles.

Re: '09 CO K Zach Grossnickle
Yeah that, especially when that one function can win or lose a football game. Our kicking game absolutely sucks right now.

That youtube clip is over 13,000 hits now.
Go figure. The internet is a mysterious thing.

Didn't know where else to put this, but hey, we'll take it.
Grossnickle Wins Another State Championship
(I don't even know if that qualifies as a sport but it looks like fun.)

Who was talking about Grossnickle being a CU legend? His choice in sport will let him fit right into Boulder... damn hippies.

This is the quote you were looking for, I believe. About the pic, at first I hated the hat, but it has grown on me. Fits him, somehow.

I talked to some people who actually understand the sport of Ultimate.
Or claim to.
Apparently Grossnickle is considered very good.
Seriously, in my experience, truly athletic kids can usually just translate that ability to many sports.
Note the CU hat in this pic? Squint, and you'll see a buff logo there.
