When I was punting I had a habit of picking up a bit of dirt and rubbing my hands in it just before the snap. We were at Utah State for a game and on my first punt I went out, grabbed some dirt and then realized the glob of dirt was a glob of "Stick-Um" which was legal to use in the good old days.

The snap hit my hands with a resounding Whuup! and I thought sure as hell the ball would stick there in my hands and not drop. All I could see was this big guy named Merlin Olsen coming after me and I was dead meat. I got the kick off, Merlin tailed off me.........then put me into the cheap seats on a blind side block.

After that I made sure of what I picked up to rub my hands in.

It wasn't awesome to me at the time.
