<p>As many of you know it has been a tough season for the Green Wave football team, both in terms of personal tragedies and their record. One of the brightest spots has been their kicker, Cairo Santos, a junior originally from Brazil but prepped at a Florida high school. He is a perfect 20-20 going into tomorrow's final game, and 12-12 from 40+ yards, with one from 54 and another from 57. He is one of three finalists for the national kicker award, the Lou Groza.</p>

<p>One of the votes is fan based, and right now he has a nice lead in that poll. Let's make sure he gets all our votes. Go to 2012</a> Finalists | PB Sports Commission - Lou Groza and towards the bottom you will see the voting area. The web design is poor, especially using white type on a light yellow background for the voting button, but I am sure you will find it.</p>

<p>He is easily having the best season of the three finalists, so not only do we get to give Tulane athletics a boost, he is the deserving party.</p>

<p>I’m not a sports fan or computer literate but I just voted. It literally took 2 seconds. ( Thankfully you put the note about where to find it. He is still in the lead with 45%.</p>

<p>Santos was 1-1 today (and 2 extra points) so he ends the season a perfect 21-21. The one today was somewhere between 30-40 yards so nothing changed in the long field goal stats. The other finalists also had perfect days (3-3 for Sturgis and 2-2 for Hopkins) so essentially status quo.</p>

<p>This means Cairo is only the second Div I kicker in history, and the first since 1996, to be perfect when attempting 20 or more field goals. He is currently enjoying a significant lead in the poll, thanks to all who voted. I noticed a quick jump in Cairo’s vote count with no significant movement in the other two after posting this thread, and that’s great.</p>
