WHEN PUNTERS ATTACK!

The MTV show "Two-a-Days," which consistent with MTV's ever-downshifting marketing is now targeting five-year olds, may be looking in the wrong place for unchained passion and aggression. Hoover High has nothing on the unbridled rage for the starting punter's job at the University of Northern Colorado:

Mitch Cozad, a sophomore from Wheatland, Wyo., allegedly attacked starting punter Rafael Mendoza in a parking lot in Evans on Monday night, Evans police Lt. Gary Kessler said.

He's got to really care about this, since he actually stabbed someone over it. Shooting, that's just business, but stabbing? That's real passion there.

Cozad was one of three punters competing for the starting job before the season before stabbing the starter in the leg because he thought he'd get the job. Perhaps when [NAME REDACTED] was talking about his punter being a "weapon" the other day, he meant something else entirely: that shy of actually beating teams, he was going to find players who would literally stab the opposition on the field.

After you get out from behind the wall, Mitch, Illinois is ready when you are, man.


Kick that ball like you stabbed it, son.

The best part of the story as mentioned on TWWLiS site is that the punter has been expelled from school, but only suspended from the team. Nice.

Just as soon as we get away from the Tonya Harding-Nancy Kerrigan story, it just drags us back in.

Sex parties and alleged rape at the “flagship” university

Bank fraud at Colo. State

And punter knife fights at the D-1AA school!

How about a separate Fulmer Cup category for the State of Colorado?

“he actually stabbed someone over it. Shooting, that’s just business, but stabbing? That’s real passion there.”

What kind of person cares that much about punting at Northern Colorado? I guess the starting punter must get grades handed his way and all the ladies the man can handle.

um, I love 2-a-days (in a “gosh that coach is harsh; oh, that one kid looks just like Josh Hartnett” kinda way) – thought you kids would too, what with the showcasing of your own Timmy Tebow.

Daddy always said that kickers were “different.”

When will Punter on Punter violence end?

Obviously, the punters get more ass than Pampers. I mentioned this over in Deadspin comments, but I was an all-conference punter back in 1992. That’s right. Northeastern Pennsylvania. When we got our pictures taken for the local paper, I stood next to everyone’s favorite nine-time Heisman winner, Ron Powlus.

Admitting you’re a punter is not unlike admitting to humping a sheep. Even if you enjoyed it, it’s just not cool. Unless you’re an Aggie.

That sheep was asking for it, I tell ya.

paternover, let’s remember that the attacker was from Wheatland, Wyoming.

Which, if you’ve ever been to Wheatland, is explanation enough.

RUTS, it’s collies the Aggies like, not sheep. As a UT grad once told me, “Those Aggie fellas like themselves some short ‘n’ hairy bitches.”

I’ve heard of sharpening the metal snaps on your chin strap in order to cut people. Stabbing someone during a game would be fierce. I’m trying to think of a Last Boyscout reference, but for some reason that movie is never on cable.

Understandable.

Chicks dig the hang time.

In the Last Bouy Scout, the RB shot the defenders.

 “Ain’t life a bitch?”

 and then turned the gun on himself.

 The allusion doesn’t work.

 Tanya Harding will be waiting to marry him when he gets out of jail.

never been ESM, but I’m guessing Wheatland makes Larime look downright cosmopolitan.

I’d speculate that the Greeley slaughterhouse/feed lot stench drove the kid mad, but I can’t imagine that anyone from rural Wyoming would even notice it.

by Paternover on Sep 13, 2006 2:57 PM EDT reply actions  

Shows how long it’s been since I’ve seen it, Beergut. All I remember is that there was bad craziness on the field of play.

Orin pulled game, and he was a punter.

Including the P.G.O.A.T….

Man, girls in my high school didn’t have racks like Kristin from Two A Days. Goodness.
