Default Hangtime clock

Can someone tell me the revelance of having this displayed during punts? Or for that matter the need to know how long it is in the air?

I don't know if they do it for college but see it all the time in the NFL.

Someone probably sponsors it

It's just another stat that they keep for no reason.

I think there are probably about 100 stats in every major sport that could just go away.

I think baseball is the worst...I mean, they can tell you in baseball how well a player hits on the third pitch of the fourth inning against left handed pitchers who have a stomach ache. It's recockulous.

Rascus and Gimpdiggity aren't exactly fans of Bill James I take it. His books rock if you're a serious baseball nut like myself.

Hey, they were odd-man out. Three of the four got in. Has that happened yet since realignment? Maybe next year.

Hang time is actually a valuable stat for a punter.

Says how long he is giving his team to get in position to defend the return.

Isn't always about how far you kick it...Time in the air and placement of the kick matter as well.

In the end it's all about net. But that's not necessarily a punter stat, because it depends upon the talents of the other special teams members.

i kind of like the hang time clock. did you guys knows the term hang time came about thanks to ray guy? that dude was bad ass, the only punter drafted in the first round. he was such a bad ass, they actually took a football he punted and tested it for helium. saw a mythbuster episode about it and i did a little research on him after that.
