VIDEO: Halftime Contest Kicker May Have Earned Alabama Scholarship

Yes, that's perhaps the most obvious joke in SB Nation history, but when all of us said it at the same time, it was destiny. As the Alabama Crimson Tide and LSU Tigers field goal'd their way to a mighty wave of national boredom and general amusement at the modern SEC offense, the halftime entertainment required a young man from Woodstock, Georgia to kick field goals for fabulous prizes.

It’s important that he didn’t get the chance to throw footballs into giant Dr. Pepper inflatables, as he might have actually come out of that looking better than one of these quarterbacks.

I know Woodstock, Georgia. And if there’s one thing I know about it, it’s that once this gentleman was told a boat was at stake, he was under the most intense pressure he’d ever faced in his entire life. Everything was cool until the boat. Woodstock people loooove boats.
