n.e.husker Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 http://www.omaha.com/article/20110816/BIGRED/708169824/-1#nu-s-maher-bondi-getting-their-kicks-replacing-kickers One is a modest, unassuming redshirt junior. The other is an outgoing, slick-haired true freshman. Between them, Brett Maher and Mauro Bondi have a combined zero games of experience kicking for Nebraska. Together, they face the difficult task of replacing Alex Henery and Adi Kunalic. "Off the field, they're a little bit different," special teams coach John Papuchis said. "But on the field, they're both competitors." Right now, Maher and Bondi are battling for three jobs. The competitions for place-kicker, punter and kickoff specialist won't end for at least another week. So far, the contest is neck-and-neck. "Even if it wasn't, I want to keep it a secret for a while," Papuchis said. "They're both doing pretty well. There's no need to rush a decision at this point." Quote Link to comment
The Dude Posted August 17, 2011 Share Posted August 17, 2011 I'm rooting for Maher just because I have a strong prejudice towards guidos. I ain't proud. Quote Link to comment

Minnesota_husker Posted August 18, 2011 Share Posted August 18, 2011 this conversation got derailed a bit. I think Bondi will be our kicker this year and expect him to be solid till about 42 yards and from there it might be sketchy. Quote Link to comment
Street Novelist Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 FACT: Nebraska needs more Italians on its team. 1 Quote Link to comment
Haspula Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Mauro Bondi looks like he came right out of jersey shore Quote Link to comment
Djab23 Posted August 19, 2011 Share Posted August 19, 2011 Have you guys seen his highschool film? I don't think I have ever watched a kickers film but I thought it was impressive. http://www.cornnation.com/2011/1/31/1965720/kicker-mauro-bondi-commits-to-nebraska I'm excited to see who gets what job.
