Many of you know Matt’s football story by now, but if you don’t, it goes something like this:
Student watching football games freshman year thinks he can do better. Non-recruited walk on makes KU’s team and earns starting role as field goal kicker. He goes on to kick 52-yard game winner in 3rd game and is later benched by the 8th game. Then he winds up re-winning the job.
Somehow Matt’s path at KU reminds me of the US stock market. Though there are ups and downs, both have gone up over time. Watching Matt persevere and succeed has been an experience that truly money can’t buy. As Matt begins his junior season, he’s slated to be the kickoff specialist and +40 yard field-goal kicker.
