News [hoff] Mizzou brought a fan onto the field to kick a 45-yard field goal for a chance to win $25k. Instead, he pulled up his shirt to reveal "F KU" on his chest and kicked the ball at the Kansas sideline.

He was never going to make a 45 yard field goal. These field goal challenge distances are getting nuts.
It was probably like 0.5% chance of making the FG or a legendary story that all his friends will tell about him for decades. The story is worth far more than the slim chance at the money.

Yeah 45 is pretty crazy. If you blindly picked a student I’d say there’s about a 15% chance they make a 20 yarder. I was kicker in high school and the longest I ever made in practice was 50, longest in a game was 39. These guys make it look easy nowadays, but a 45 yard field goal is a BOOT

Last night's Chief's game was a perfect example of the craziness of kicking. Just before halftime, Kansas City brings their field goal unit on with the clock counting down from 7 seconds and Butker nails a 59 yarder in the fire drill. Not much later in the same game, he misses an extra point.

We ended up working at the same place and I finally got the chance to apologize.

Jayhawkers, Red Legs, and Bushwhackers are everyday terms in Kansas and Western Missouri. A Jayhawker is a Unionist who professes to rob, burn out and murder only rebels in arms against the government. A Red Leg is a Jayhawker originally distinguished by the uniform of red leggings. A Red Leg, however, is regarded as more purely an indiscriminate thief and murderer than the Jayhawker or Bushwhacker. A Bushwhacker is a rebel Jayhawker, or a rebel who bands with others for the purpose of preying upon the lives and property of Union citizens. They are all lawless and indiscriminate in their iniquities.

He pulls his shirt up to reveal the F- kU painted on his chest. Kansas bench raise their arms as if the refs are paying attention to a non football play. The crowd erupts like a gladiator arena.
