Yesterday, Cam Little's kick cleared the cross bar by five yards. That sucker woulda been good from 73.

What is going on with gravity?

On ESPN College Game Day Saturday morning before the Mizzou-Vanderbilt game, Pat McAfee conducted another iteration of his weekly place kicking contest.

A Vanderbilt sophomore chemical engineering major who stood perhaps 5'5" was offered $500,000 to kick a 35-yard field goal while McAfee, Herbstreit and an assembled crowd watched.

I'm telling ya. As his kick split the uprights, it was still going up. Okay, that might be a stretch. But the kick would have been good from 55. For sure.

When I was first watching football as a kid, an NFL coach would only attempt a 45-yard field goal at the end of the first half or regulation.

Now we got a 5'5" chemical engineering student kicking 55-yard bombs.

Tie down your patio furniture. We can no longer count on gravity.
