Or, like golf, something got into his head and just can't shake it. Are we sure there's not a couple of more Gramatticas running around out there?

His performance at Penn State really got him off to a bad start and he never really recovered after that. Maybe he never had it -- Alvarado seems like he does so we'll see.

He has a big leg and from what I understand he hits everything from everywhere in practice during the week. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only reason we had one at all was because the Gramaticas lived so close by, not because we had become Kicker-U. Hence, with the Gramaticas done, we are again struggling.

Outside of Bill Gramatica, it hasn't been that great. Riggs in '97 was pretty good, I'm amazed we didn't attract the state's best after him (lol). Must be because our head coach is also our special teams coach and Mr. Mazza thinks our head coach should go. Transparent. Come on fellas. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
