Dude is so physically distinct from a stock kicker, I get confused when Penn State lines up for kick-off and think “oh dang, they don’t have a kicker out there, must be a trick play.”

I’m a recent transplant to Minnesota, so Vikings news/speculation is my main topic of conversation with coworkers. How optimistic should I be about this season when I talk with them? A strong showing in the conference title game or a bad loss in the wild card?
