Patrino to Tejada

[B-Sticks]

I rewound it about 20 times and you could read his lips loud and clear after that first Tejada miss ! He asked him if he missed it on purpose and then asked how in the $*@#  he could miss it that bad...then screamed " are you sh*$#ing me" !!! Bobby is hardcore !!! After that they never showed him after the other 2 misses !!

[hendrix08hog]

I can read lips and I saw that, too. I like it. It shows we have an expectation to hit that kind of stuff, not to get lucky.

[want2be]

Tough love

Did Tejada say anything to him?

[whatsshakinbacon]

Did Tejada say anything to him?

It was in spanish.

Bacon out...

[razorback903]

I'm guessing that's the end of Tejada

[dhornjr1]

It was in spanish.

Bacon out...

LOL

[B-Sticks]

Couldn't tell from the camera angle if he replied...I wouldn't !!

[budcampbellfan]

I think Petrino had already tried the patient approach and decided to try the shocker, like the cure for the hiccups.  Really don't blame him.

[BigoBoys]

Yep, not slapping him on the helmet and then telling us "Man you really need that kick" from the Dork.   

[r8zrbck]

yep -- I rewound several times -- AND noticed they didnt show BP after

[Dirty]

I'm guessing that's the end of Tejada

He won't give up on him that quick.

[Blue35]

We need a new kicker.  Cannot afford to lose points like that.

[pimpndistress]

It was in spanish.

Bacon out...

omg lmao on that one bacon you kill me

[johogs001]

tejada seems done at least for the time being. Putting in haddock to kick pat's sealed the fate and tells you what was thought of the performance by tejada tonight.

[El Puerco]

5 mistakes back to back

[camden5r]

Glad to see our coach react like that

[hoghearted]

He's going to have to earn his spot back. No gifts or seniority points in Petrino's roster.

[ProfusionalHog]

I thought Tejada was capable of booting the kickoff out of the back of the endzone.  What happened to that?

[razorback903]

He won't give up on him that quick.

There will be some serious competition for the job now.  That was 7 points we should of had.

[31to6]

I'm guessing that's the end of Tejada

No. Great coaches bring out greatness. Tejada has talent he just has to find his game. If pressure is being applied then it has a purpose. Petrino seems like he gets hot under the collar, but I saw more than one shot of him walking calmly after a really horrible play--so if he is in someone's face there is probably a purpose to it.

My guess is he has been rehab'ing and working hard in practice or he would not be playing. Petrino has demostrated he will play the kid who wins the position and that nobody is safe.

My guess is he is kicking because he is booming them in practice. When a kid booms in practice and chokes in the game something is going on in his head. Sometimes the best way to bring a talented kid around is to piss him off or wake him up by getting in his face.

(It could be that Tejada is still not 100%, also. Not an excuse but it is a possibility.)

[COCHISE]

There will be some serious competition for the job now.  That was 7 points we should of had.

Not to mention his kickoff went out of bounds and gave ULM the ball on the 45 which led to a touchdown, Tejada's poor play accounted for a 14 point swing.  I hope this young man gets the help he needs, I don't think cussing him is the way to go, he's obviously got some issues going on right now.

[El Puerco]

I'm pretty sure he didn't even warm up with the rest of the kickers prior to the second half.  That's rough.

I wouldn't be surprised to see Petrino go back to Tejada....but tonight, it was ugly and was getting uglier quick.

[hoghearted]

Perhaps he aggravated an injury, and that is why we didn't see him in the second half?

[JBucc]

Who did we have kicking for us in the second half? Was it Davis?

[Jabroni]

Yep, not slapping him on the helmet and then telling us "Man you really need that kick" from the Dork.  

but he was sooo close! and that boy has a lot of heart in him, i'll tell ya. man i love that helmet.

[forrest city joe]

Bottom line. Tejada  has to make those kicks. you are talking about FG's of 25 and 38 yards. and an extra point. and the kicks were not even close. he almost cost his team this game by leaving 7 points off the board. i too think we may see a change in PK's.

[SquidBilly]

And a delay of game just prior to that kickoff that he kicked out of bounds.  I've watched a lot of football in my day and can honestly say I've never seen a delay of game on a kickoff before.

[El Puerco]

Who did we have kicking for us in the second half? Was it Davis?

I don't know.  Everyone in our section was calling him "Not Tejada."

[98hogs]

Look Tejada needs to get his head out of his tail and earn the scholarship!  He was awesome at Springdale and kick over 90% of his kick offs out of the end zone.  Its in his head

[Arkapigdiesel]

I too am a skilled lip reader, and I clearly saw "are you sh*tting me" come from CBP's lips after Tejada's miss.

[hoghearted]

Who did we have kicking for us in the second half? Was it Davis?

Haddock?

[LAHOGG]

To me it looked like he had something mental going on.  He needs some time on the bench for awhile to get out of this funk!  It reminded me of Bama's kicker a couple years ago. 

[tendu]

Who did we have kicking for us in the second half? Was it Davis?

For PA its Shay Haddock

[hogbud]

springdale seems cursed.............

[kimjongsqUeAl]

I love BP!  I noticed the little "talk" he gave Tejada and I said, "Wow!  This coach is hard core."  The other coach we had would have kept Tejada in the game letting him continue to cost us points.  Bobby made the right decision IMO and I love his attitude towards the game: Do anything to win.  Petrino is a winner and he doesn't care, he will pull you so fast it will mess you up!

I feel bad for Tejada.  Is he injured still?  I wonder if his knee is still bothering him.  Each kicked he missed went WAAY left.  Is that a placement problem or what?  I really hope he gets out of this slump.  He is a good fb player and I hate it for him.

[Granny fan]

I'm guessing that's the end of Tejada

I heard earlier in the year that Tejada was one of the players who was complaining about how hard the coach was working them.  There may be something going on like a personality conflict.  I'm putting it mildly.

[budcampbellfan]

When you'rr kicking as bad as Tejada was tonite, you want to be pulled out for that game.  Something is wrong and I doubt seriously Tejada has any idea what it is.  He knows better than anyone else he has to find out quick what he is doing wrong.

[OneLardAlmighty]

It's more than just leaving 7 points off the board.  Coming away with nothing after being in scoring position three times, missing the PAT which is always disastrous, and then having the comedy of kicking errors that followed resulted in a HUGE shift of momentum and damages us psychologically for the remainder of the 2nd and all of the 3rd quarter.  If we get any points out of those trips, and don't have that debacle, we would've continued the domination we showed in the beginning and it woudn't even have been close imho.

[Razor6]

Well........ last week....

4th Down and 10 yards to go versus WIU COULD have been a loss.

Thank goodness for Petrinos gambling ability.

-R6

[PIGINAPOKE]

hype goes bad..Film @ 11.

[bknittin]

Shay Haddock kicked the last two extra points. He is in his 3rd year of college, home town is Arlington TX. He RS last year after playing one year at TCU. I heard from a TCU student that he did not do well in spring ball his freshman year, so he transferred here to walk on. If he is our new kicker, I hope he is pumped after tonight, and ready to play in his home state next week. We need all the help we can get.

[BigSexyHog]

I feel bad for Tejada...  Probably the worst game of his life, but he can do one of two things. 

1. Tuck his tail between his legs and give up
or
2.  Get over it, move on and try to get better.

I hope he decides #2 cause I would like to see him contribute something positive to the team this year.

[Eddie Piggard]

exactly!!  did anyone see the old piss/wf game in the closing minutes?  Monkey with a whistle was just going ape shiite, while grobe was cool calm and collected.

[Phenomenal One]

Next thing you know Tejada will be transferring out too

[mcfly5]

This is not true. Alex has said that they have been working them harder, but he NEVER complained about it. He had this same issue after being hurt before. Alex is not afraid to hard work and he will do his best to be back.

[PositronHog]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHA, that one hurt my side!!!!!!!!!

[Rayzback]

Yeah, I like to see him back to money in the bank status

[coachp]

Hell remember the South Florida kicker who missed maybe five against Auburn two yeas ago.  I think he got it back together, good luck Tejeda.

[iCalledThatHogBrotha!]

You're right.  I feel for the kid though.  In retrospect, I don't think it helped with Petrino chewing his butt after missing the first.  Kickers are funny animals - you get in their head and destroy their confidence and then they'll continue to miss.  Still, can't miss an XP!

I hope he pulls it together, we can't afford that crap again.
