Dude has been kicking ass for 4 years, sometimes from 50+ yards. He will be missed.

 

[00Burdell]

4 FG today. Each one key.

As I remember, when he was recruited and given a scholarship, he and CPJ were uniformly criticized, well, four years and countless clutch kicks (to say nothing of ending up as our points record holder) later, it's time to acknowledge just what an asset he's been over the years, we were lucky to have him and owe him a sincere debt of gratitude...!!!

We have been able to witness history. We have watched the leading scorer in GT history play for the past 4 seasons

We're supposed to have an excellent kicker coming in, so here's to Butler's heir.

Wtf are you talking about?

 

[gtyellowjackets]

We are spoiled now, no doubt

 

[MEwreck02]

He will always be remember for the kick that was heard around the world.

 

[LagrangeJacket]

He will always be remember for the kick that was heard around the world.

He could've missed every kick in his career after that and he'd still be a hero.

Tying the GT points record with a kick to beat UGA again was gravy. Delicious, delicious gravy.

That's what I remember as well -- something about "wasting a scholarship on a kicker"

It's a big part of the game -- especially all of those touchbacks on kick-offs and clutch field goals against tough opponents

for those who are the praying type, Harrison's grandmother is scheduled for heart surgery next week. He and his family would appreciate all kind thoughts and prayers.

 

[ScionOfSouthland]

You guys are nuts. We were desperate for a kicker after having multiple disasters on the depth chart.

 

[GTWannaBee]

I was misremembering as well. I could have sworn there was a lot of grief given over signing Butker. Nope. Wrong.

... Back to Mr. Butker -
Welcome to GT! Hope you have a great career and break the GT points record!

Holy Nostradamus, Batman...

We had good kickers before, just terrible few years before Butker. Lest you forget, Luke Manget, Travis Bell etc.
