go iu bb Posted January 7 Posted January 7 OMG, he was a 29 year old freshman this season and has played sports professionally. "Gowers was a 29-year-old true freshman this past fall that played professional Australian Rules Football for five years in the AFL. He also competed in the Victorian Football League." Quote

I believe will have 3 years of eligibility, yet appears to be roughly 30 (not kidding). https://hawaiiathletics.com/sports/football/roster/billy-gowers/22193 This guy has NFL level punting stats. A 46.2 yard avg, with 25 punts inside the 20, and only 2 touchbacks is very impressive. WayneFleekHoosier, Hollywood Mike Miranda, Pagoda and 1 other 3 1 Quote

Any empty raids? All outs? How was he at avoiding tackles? And how does any of this make him a better punter? Quote
AZ Hoosier Posted January 8 Posted January 8 More solid info on our 30-year-old punter: Based on recent reports, Billy Gowers is a barber by trade.

Business Ownership: He co-owns a barbershop called Zeppelin (located in Melbourne, Australia) with a close friend. Education: Records indicate he trained at The Barber Academy and has been involved in educating other apprentices at the Barber Hub. Current Status: Even while playing American college football, he has been referred to by his teams as a "potential team barber" for his teammates.

Kabaddi. That’s why. Quote

Class of '66 Old Fart Posted January 8 Posted January 8 Clearly with the information we've gleaned thus far, Gowers is clearly a 'cut' above your average punter and on the 'cutting' edge of new punting techniques. Also reported he has a 'razor' sharp mind and won't ever try to 'nick' you into paying his bar bill. At least that's the 'buzz' I've heard. Have a great day mates. jermhoosierfan, Home Jersey and hoosierfan6157 3 Quote
