Univ. Of Wisconsin Kicker Asked To Leave, Replaced By Trio Of Kickers Including All-Star Linebacker
11 years ago

Kyle French, a redshirt junior and the starting kicker for the Wisconsin Badgers for the past two seasons, has been asked to forgo his senior season in lieu of a ragtag trio of replacements. French posted the following status to his Facebook page on Thursday night:

“I want to personally thank everyone who has supported me throughout my career in football. The coaches have asked me to forgo my senior season and focus on my career outside of football after this season… It has been a great ride, a time I’ll never forget and I’m excited for what is to come.”

Thank God he’s being dismissed, because Kyle French was God Eiffel. GET IT? GET IT? HAHAHA *Explosively shit my pants*

Who are the rap scoundrels replacing the abysmal French, who was a whopping 18 for 29 on his college career? I’ll break it down for you.

1. Kickoffs: Kickoffs are now going to be handled full time by freshman Andrew Endicott. Fucking freshman.

2. Extra points/short field goals: These tasks are entrusted in sophomore Jack Russell, who is a whopping 0 for 3 for field goals in his UW career. Kyle French may be God Eiffel, but Jack Russell is terrierable. OLOLOLLOLOLOLOL

3. Long field goals: Long field goals are going to be handled by none other than All-Big Ten linebacker Chris Borland. Chris Borland is 0 for 0 in his college career and a perfect 2 for 2 on the practice field. High hopes abound!

Keep an eye out for the Wisconsin special teams this weekend as they face off against Illinois. It’s sure to be a spectacle.

    Notice how the guy named French completely rolled over and surrendered to the schools decision. Just go ahead and tack another one onto the L column for France.

    This happens a lot, never seen a player come out and say it so bluntly. Confused to as why he’s not finishing the season if they don’t have legitimate replacements?

      18 for 29… If they can’t trust him to kick field goals, what else is he good for? At least if the other guys fuck up its expected.

      He’s decent from short, and meh from long. The other kicker isn’t any better, and do you really want to take your starting LB practice time away to kick field goals that he’s probably going to be around 60% at best?
