Nick Landess no longer a Poke...

From the Laramie paper:

"Landess gone — Junior walk-on place-kicker and punter Nick Landess, who has been plagued this fall with a groin injury, has left the team."
 
If he's no better than McCoy or Scott, then good riddance. We used to be known for having elite kickers, now we have guys that wouldn't be able to walk on to a D-II school. Pathetic.
 
Nick got about 5 yards more on his kick-offs than the current kickers. Too bad he couldn't get over injuries this fall. JUST GUESSING, but as a walk on its a lot of work in addition to school if you're pretty sure you won't get another shot at kicking until next fall.....when I'm sure DC will bring in some boomers.

I swear we had a new guy kicking off on Saturday. It was a guy with the last name Watts, who is a walk-on. I wonder what happened to Scott?

yeah i remember seeing that, and he kicked it way short....worse than quite a few high school kickers ive seen that i thought were bad.
 
Landess was the strongest leg we had on the team. Sorry to see him go. I don't know how serious the injury was but something more had to be going on for him to just leave the team like this. If you guys remember last year Landess took over all the kicking duties after the Tennessee game.

To bad he wasn't healthy this year as he can get kickoffs to the end zone. Whoever kicked off during the Texas game was worst than Jake Scott and I had never heard of him.
 
Ok.. I have a question. Are you telling me that there isn't a kid going to school at UW that maybe plays soccer and has kicked before, that isn't on the team? ie(kind of like that kid at Texas Tech last year that won a contest and kicked the rest of the year for them). There has to be somebody down there that can kick, at least for the rest of the year. Maybe DC should have an open tryout to see if there is somebody. Bet you would be surprised!!
