We all have dreams.

We all have things we want to do, and people we want to be with the one shot at life that we have.

Maybe that’s being a successful business owner.

Maybe that’s being wealthy.

But virtually everyone wants to be famous. What we want to be famous for varies from person to person.

Not you? Really? Every play the air guitar? Ever sing in the shower? Ever hit a wiffle ball over the fence in your backyard and jog around the yard to the imaginary roar of 40,000 fans at Wrigley Field? OK, that’s just me, I’ll admit to that.

Harrison Mevis graduated from Warsaw as the best kicker in school history, and that’s saying something because Tiger Football has quite a legacy of sending kickers to college football squads.

But Harrison’s story was different. When he went to the University of Missouri, he was already considered one of the best kickers in the country. His work at summer kicking camps and his performance at high-profile showcases made his name well known among special teams coaches.

At Missouri, he was really good, and he made some big kicks. The more big kicks he made, the more popular he became.

That budding legend morphed into a nickname. Harrison Mevis became known to Tiger Nation as “The Thicker Kicker.”

And being honest, he’s earned that nickname. Harrison is big guy. He is not fat, just big — 6-feet tall and 245 pounds.

And if you know this kid at all, you understand that he leaned into the “Thicker Kicker” thing from Day One, and no one is in the least bit surprised.

Most kickers try to keep a low profile.

Harrison Mevis is not most kickers.

And then the day came that cemented his place in Missouri Tiger athletics history…September 16, 2023.

His team was locked in a 27-27 tie with Kansas State at Memorial Stadium in Columbia.

With :02 left, his coach sent him onto the field to attempt a game-winning field goal.

The snap and hold were right on, and Mevis put his right foot into it. Man, did that ball fly.

It cleared the crossbar, and Mevis sprinted a victory lap around the turf.

It was the longest walk-off field goal in the history of the SEC.

Despite all of that, he wasn’t drafted, and a lot of people were surprised.

Still, Harrison kept himself ready by doing his thing.

And then the call came in mid-season 2025.

The LA Rams were on the line. They were unhappy with their kicker, and they wanted to bring Mevis out for a workout.

And they signed him.

He was as good a kicker for them as anyone in the league, and when he beat the Bears with a 42-yard overtime kick in the NFC Divisional Playoff Game at Soldier Field, “The Thicker Kicker” was now a national brand.

The fame that went with that kind of kick in that kind of setting is instantaneous and spectacular.

This year Mevis was 14-for-14 on extra points this season, but only 5-7 on field goals.

The Rams had been struggling on just about every facet of their special teams units. Coach Sean McVay changed coaches and vowed a change of results, but they still looked very much like 2025.

Then Monday night happened.

At home against a good Buffalo team, Mevis pulled a long field goal to the left in the first half.

Then in overtime, with a chance to win a game the Rams desperately needed, Mevis lined up for a game-winning kick.

The Rams line totally caved in on its left side, and Mevis' kick was blocked. He put such a charge into it, it still almost made it to the cross bar. But it didn’t.

The Bills went back down the field and won the game with their own field goal, and the Rams were 2-3.

McVay expressed after the game how angry he was at losing.

The next day, the Rams cut Harrison Mevis.

As quickly as the spotlight found him, it disappeared and left him in the dark.

It’s the cruelty of professional sports.

It wasn’t fair, and it’s not fair, but you know how I feel about “fair”.

What about the guys on the line who didn’t do their jobs on that last kick? What about the defense who gave up 37 points? Those guys didn’t get cut.

Only the kicker.

The people who had sung his praises were now filling social media with hate. They turned on him like a stranger. The margin of error is almost invisible. The difference between hero and scapegoat is razor thin.

Harrison knows that this is the nature of the business. It’s the beauty and the nightmare of his particular job on a football team. The kickers don’t get paid much and so they are easy to cut.

He signed up for this.

And Harrison Mevis will once again do his work…and wait for his phone to ring.

It’s Sunday night, and I am standing up from my favorite reclining chair because I can’t take it anymore.

The tension of the Bears and Rams was just too much to take sitting down.

I said out loud, under my breath, “Please, don’t let this come down to Harrison.”

I was referring to former Warsaw Tiger kicker Harrison Mevis, who the NBC broadcast cut away to in that exact moment to show him jumping up and down to stay warm on the sidelines at Soldier Field.

The Bears had pulled off another fourth-quarter miracle and had tied the playoff game at 17-17 on a heave by quarterback Caleb Williams into the northwest corner of the end zone in the game’s final minute.

The Bears had stopped the Rams on the first possession of overtime, but the Bears promptly gave the ball back to them on Williams’ third interception of the night.

Rams Quarterback Matthew Stafford was moving the visitors down the field toward the winning score when those pictures of the young man I used to “bro hug” every autumn Thursday afternoon at Fisher Field began filling my TV screen, and my head.

I started to create scenarios in my head that would prevent what, I admit, was inevitable.

Maybe the Rams would make a mistake and turn the ball over.

Maybe they would score a touchdown and end the game that way.

No such luck.

So I started creating new possibilities that would get in the way of him kicking the ball and breaking my heart for the first time ever.

There could be a bad snap.

The holder could drop the ball before he could kick it.

The Bears could break through the line and block the kick, and maybe even run the ball in for a winning score.

None of those would be Harrison’s fault, right?

The conflict was tangible from my balding head to my socked feet. I didn’t want him to make this kick, but I didn’t want him to miss it either. I think too much of him for that.

The snap was perfect.

The placement of the ball was perfect.

The kick had a little bit of a hook in it as it reached the uprights, but it made it through and the Rams were off to the NFC Championship Game in Seattle.

I watched as his teammates mobbed him on the frozen turf along Chicago’s lakefront. Most of them had never met him before he was signed to the practice squad and activated for three games earlier this season.

Now, he was their hero.

I couldn’t be happier for him. He’s earned it. He deserves it.

The Hoosiers did it!
Indiana University won the College Football Playoff National Championship over Miami 27-21 in Miami.

I also watched the end of this game standing behind my favorite chair in the basement of my house. I was way too nervous to handle what I was watching in a seated position.

IU was leading 27-21, but the Hoosiers' defense looked like it was hanging on for dear life.

When Miami QB Carson Beck’s final pass sailed down the left side of the field, I saw the crimson-red jersey of Jamari Sharpe waiting for it to come to him, and when it did, he caught it and fell to the ground.

It was over.

The most improbable, incredible, unthinkable champion of college football had just taken their place on the throne of the sport.

What can we learn from this … beyond how important the transfer portal and NIL money packages have become to college athletics.

Leadership sets the tone. Curt Cignetti was in charge at IU the day he walked on campus and no one needed him to tell them or remind them of that.

I think the Hoosiers won the game on Monday night, back when Cignetti sat in front of the media and was asked to explain how he was turning around the Hoosiers from perennial losers to lovable winners.

He famously said, “I win … Google me.”

The team heard him say that, and from that day on, they picked up that attitude and carried it into places like Iowa City, Happy Valley, Lucas Oil Stadium, the Rose Bowl and Hard Rock Stadium in Miami.

Belief is a choice. Cignetti’s restoration could only have worked if the players and support staff at IU bought into it with all their hearts, and they did.

Anything is possible. When we dare to risk our personal comfort to see just what we are capable of, stuff happens.

One last thing that I think applies to both Harrison Mevis and the Hoosiers — dreaming is only dreaming, but joy comes from the journey of doing it.

WARSAW — The Kosciusko County Historical Society hosted a celebration of women in sports Saturday outside the Kosciusko County Jail Museum. 

The event honored the achievements of Kosciusko County’s female athletes over the past 50 years, when the IHSAA elevated girls' sports to the same as boys

Members of the Warsaw Lady Tigers state girls’ basketball champion teams from 1976 and 1978 were called up on stage and recognized, as was the 2015 Tippecanoe Valley girls’ runner-up state champion basketball team and the Warsaw girls basketball runner-up from last year.

WRSW’s Rita Price, herself a sports broadcasting legend, emceed the event and took time to recognize Wawasee graduate Shanna Zolman as possibly one of the greatest athletes in Indiana history.

"She scored 3,085 points, held many national records, including 92 percent at the free throw line, and she carried that over the the WNBA and Tennessee," Price said. "Shanna Zolman will always be remembered as one of the best in Kosciusko County."

Many of Warsaw’s championship teams in 1976 and 1978 attende the ceremony, including head coach Jan Soyez and standouts Judi Warren and Chanda Kline.

Sue Loher, a member of the 1978 state championship team who lives in Colorado, attended Saturday’s ceremony.

Luckily, her 45th reunion coincided nicely.

“I was going to be on the road by six this morning, but I couldn’t pass this up,” Loher said. “It’s a great event.”

Loher went on to have a career in the judicial system in Colorado. She said athletics paid off later in life.

“Team sports help me in my workplace, coping with people,” Loher said.

“I wanted to see the team again. The ’78 team, we’ve stayed pretty tight. I stay in touch with the ladies. But it’s wonderful to see everybody. It’s very heartwarming, and we’re all very close still,” she said.

Price also put into perspective how far girls' sports have progressed.

"Maybe I should say it, but I’m going to — one of the members of the IHSAA board actually thought it would be unhealthy for girls to run up and down the court full court because it might inhibit them from having children,” said, drawing hoots and hollers. “That’s how far we’ve come, ladies and gentlemen, in 50 years!”
