Josh Lambert (Butch's grandson) just kicked a 55 yard field goal for the WVU Mountaineers to win against Texas Tech as time expired, unbelievable!!!! I repeat 55 YARDS folks!

I watched it live too and what a kick. I'm a third generation Pitt grad and was raised to root against WVU. Over the years though I've grown to like the Mountaineers and even go to a game now and then. Great football program and they do have one hell of a place kicker. You must be proud Butch.
Great job by Josh, Butch! I failed to see it live but thanks for the video replay. His coach seemed quite happy with his kicker from Texas. I hope he continues doing so well. He might just make some money with that big leg, one day.--Mike
I watched a replay of Josh’s Kick. He kicked it like he was mad at it. I’d say it went 60yds. I watched him kick one that far when he was still in High School. He's still developing.
When I see talent like that I see $$$$$$$ signs.
The average annual pay check for a Kicker in the NFL is $1,500,000.00 plus signing bonuses. That’s for love of the Sport of Football. A job ,kicking Field Goals and extra points From August to January.
He could afford to take up Benchrest Competition with that kinda money.:
I believe it was Alex Karras who once said football is a case of oddities. For 59 and a half minutes 11 normal 300 pound human beings bash each other around and then some 150 pound freak without pads comes out and kicks the ball and wins the game and is the star.
