SuperHornet's Athletics Hall of Fame includes Jacksonville State kicker Ashley Martin, the first girl to score in a Division I football game. She kicked 3 PATs in a 2001 game for J-State.

Interesting tidbits overheard on WIP while I was driving to Philly today:

1. It took 27 years for his record FG to be tied.
2. It took 43 years for it to be broken, by one yard, in the thin air of Denver.
3. Because the goal post was still located over the goal line in 1970, he kicked his record FG from his own 37 yard line.
