Ready to see the new episodes of Gillikin's Island.

The writing was on the wall for Morestead when they kept him and stashed him on IR.

Big shoes to fill.

Has anyone seen Gillikin's hang time on his punts at PSU ? Directional placement of the ball or sideline angles?

I can see why he was "stashed" last season.

Big shoes to fill but he is a legit talent at the punter position.

In a true open tryout last year, Gillikin beat out Morestead...

Payton somehow reasoned he needed to go back to the well to recreate that '09 magic - too bad Payton didn't look at his own changed self...

Apparently, the guy has a tremendous mullet. You won’t find better hair anywhere in the NFL.
