Give me a Ficken kicker and a siren WHOOOOO!!!!
Lions 24/7 is kicking some Ficken butt this week with the breaking news on the recruiting front. Our buddy Sean Fitz broke the story about Ryan Nowicki giving his Ficken verbal, and tonight he has the story about Indiana kicker Sam Ficken giving his verbal commitment to the Nittany Lions.
"I got a call at about 4:00 this afternoon from Penn State, and they decided they were going to offer me a scholarship," said an excited Ficken. "I'm going to go to Penn State."
Replacing Collin Wagner will be a huge Ficken priority in 2011, so landing a kicker is a welcome Ficken sight. Ficken reportedly made 10 of 14 field goals as a senior with a long of 52. Mike McQueary has told him he will be handling the Ficken place kicking duties so that Anthony Fera can stick with the Ficken punting game.
Give Sam a big Ficken Penn State welcome.

Just In:
The recruit’s dad is NOT with the place-kicking situation and wants Sam to transfer immediately after LOI day. Ficken sucks.

Penn State!
Seriously, it will be pretty cool to see Joe Pa’s shot from the Big10 ad modified to " Come to Penn ficken shhhtate!"

You know, guys, it's funny if one person does it...
It’s just sad when all of you do it. :)
Paige's sparking personality is intoxicating; her beauty breathtaking; her intellectual prowess incomprehensible to mortals. Her radiance...her luster...drive men mad. Her omnipotence dangerous, yet alluring. It is her power that ensures gravity remains constant; her genius that inspires. She is not only responsible for the Earth's rotation, but may cure what ails the heart with a glance. I am Paige's pool boy...a serf to her ladyship. I am at her beck and call. I bow to her. I am not worthy. War Eagle.

This is BS Ficken D.
There was a 200 comment thread on Silas Redd pee jokes. There’s no way a name like Ficken won’t be used in every possible situation.
"We have the plainest uniforms you can make. We know who we are. We are Penn State, and that's something special."
That thread was Ficken hilarious
but when a meme’s gotta go, a meme’s gotta go.
I'm on the Internet cause I'm an Internet thug.

It's like Laurenitis and a player who has already been tackled.
You just have to pile on.
This is BSD, the crazy stirs itself.

Are you Ficken serious?
How is this anything but extremely Ficken awesome?
We’ve got a WR name Kuntz, a DB named Tongue, almost (and I guess in hindsight, thankfully) had a WR named Coxson, and now a kicker named Ficken. 2011 has now gone from worst year ever to back on track to being Ficken awesome, or at a non mass suicide watch level.
Welcome to the team Sam!
let's go eat a Ficken snack.

Only side-by-side bend tandem that can trump Dingle-Berry
Is going to be Ficken-Kuntz.
We need to pace ourselves
He hasn’t even signed his LOI and we are burning thru all our Ficken material.
We’re going to be running on Ficken empty for 4 yrs.
Serious question: I assume he has a monster leg, right? One of the (many) things that killed us the last two games was not having Fera boot kick-offs thru the end zone.
BTW, welcome to Penn State, Sam!
Long of 52 in HS is pretty good (is it elite?)
But I would assume Fera will return to kickoffs unless he has another appendix.
It would only be elite if he was going to VaTech or SEC.
"Every player we have, someone-maybe a parent, a grandparent, someone-poured their soul into that young man. They are handing that young man off to us. They are giving us their treasure, and it's our job to make sure we give them back that young man intact and ready to face the world."

Depends if it was off of the ground or a tee.
Regardless, it’s still impressive.

Penn State apparently
unless you meant if he has any other Ficken offers, that I do not know
I wouldn’t give a hoot in hell for a man who lost and laughed.
Now is not the time to Ficken around
This is Ficken serious. Not knowing if our offense will be consistent enough to score Ficken touchdowns especially in the red zone (may I rewind your mind to the first 5 games this year). A solid kicking game could save our Ficken asses for a game or two this season.
Welcome to Happy Valley Sam.
strikes me as odd
i thought fera was booming FGs when we recruited him. It’s not like he’s a great punter, right? I figured Fera would be hitting 3s and Mr. Butterworth pinning them in their own 5.
If i remember correctly,
Fera was having some problems with accuracy. Also, punter kind of became a position of need after Breen transfered.
don't know how to post a link yet, but here's what you've won:
well, nevermind, link posting seems easy enough.
