As a promotion put on by the USF Athletic Department and Allstate, a few media members were invited to Raymond James Stadium to particpate in a field goal kicking contest.
And I quickly established myself as the worst kicker out of the seven participants.
I went 0-4 in the only four legitimate field goal attempts of my life. I'm the first to admit that, but I can also proudly admit I didn't have the worst of the day
But I'm calling garbage on this whole contest because Mike Pepper of 1010 AM easily won the contest. Not surprising since he was a punter/kicker invited to several NFL training camps and was a kicker for the Tampa Bay Storm.
How was this a real competition?
The important part was the event raised $3,000 for the USF general scholarship fund.
Against West Virginia, one student will have a chance to win $1,000 if they hit a 25-yard field goal at halftime. Allstate will donate another $1,000 to USF if the attempt is good.
Whoever is selected can't do any worse than I did.
