Found this pic and couldn’t pass it up! The difference with this contest is that Sailer is also opening it up to his kickers on his blog. Given, I demand the Long Snappers produce better and more responses than the kickers.
The contest will end on Thursday, May 23 at noon pst. All captions must be submitted on this blog!
Let the games begin….

Next EVENT ELITE member: name of a very obscure and bleary river in the northwest and an early inventor of cold, fast footwear.

306
Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE: last name of a guy that people that hover at beaches after people leave LOVE & a splash of how you’d describe a Bandersnatch
(people that hang out at beaches after people leave would be people with metal detectors. Pioneer of metal detectors was Charles GARRETT. Then, a Bandersnatch was described as frumious in the peom Jabberwocky by Louis Carroll. Splash of frumious would be FRUM. Therefore, Garrett Frum!)
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Garrett Frum (CA, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

381
Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE member: baseball player that got paddled in a movie that reminds you to watch the leather & some young chaps that are sleuths
(Matthew McConaughey’s character says “to watch the leather” in the movie Dazed and Confused. The baseball player that gets paddles is named MITCH. Some young chaps that are sleuths would The HARDY Boys…..Therefore, Mitch Hardy!)
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Mitch Hardy (WI, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.
Big Mitch Hardy is improved immensely in the past couple of years and is very well deserving of this honor. He is large, snaps the ball hard and with a ton of confidence. Hardy has one of the best personalities in the country…always positive and listening!
281
Rubio Long Snapper Tim Hernandez (JC, CA) has committed to Sacramento State as a preferred walk-on!
Tim is a solid Long Snapper with tremendous personality. Large man that is very coachable and snaps a good, crisp ball. He spent a year at a JC to really fine-tune his skill and it paid off.
Congratulations to Tim Hernandez!

612
Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE member: sound of bad taste + an old athlete issue and northern birds wish they had it + splash of character in Grumpy Old Men.
(“Blah” would be the sound you make when you taste something bad + an old athlete would have aches. Blah + Aches = Blake. Then, northern birds would be cold and want to be warm, they could be warm with fur. Then one of the characters in Grumpy Old Men was Gustafson. Fur + Splash of Gustafson = Ferguson)
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Blake Ferguson (GA, ’15) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.
Blake is a long time Rubio Long Snapper and the current #1 for the class of 2015. He was flat out dominant all weekend in Vegas and this honor is well deserved!
96
Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE member: Another way to say you barely made it and a POSSIBLE nickname of Rocky Dennis’ “step-dad”
(Another way to say you barely made it would be to say you were Just In Time…Justin. Sam Elliott’s character in Mask was named Gar. His possible nickname would be Garza.)
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Justin Garza (CA, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.
Garza is an extremely intense Long Snapper that moves beyond well on his feet and snaps a rocket back to the punter. Great attitude.
163
Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE member: 1st part of a store that sounds like it is worth less than a dollar and if you were to go 570240 inches up but take away a letter
(A store that sounds like it is worth less than a dollar is JC Penny because of “penny” First part is JC. Then, a place almost nine miles (570240 inches) high is Mt. Everest. Take away a consonant “S” and you have everett)
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper JC Everett (AR, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.
JC is a terrific Long Snapper that is built like a brick house. He is strong and snaps the ball with incredible speed. He might have the quickest hands in his class. Great attitude and he does exactly what you tell him to do.
110
Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE member: Hemorrhoids would be an occupational hazard of this job minus a consonant and this character’s wife was a liar (so was he) w/ good balance.
(A trucker sits all day and, therefore can get hemorrhoids. So, take the “r” off trucker and you have TUCKER. Then, Angelina Jolie played Mrs. Smith in Mr. and Mrs. Smith. One scene has her balancing on a chair cleaning drapes. She was an undercover agent and so was her husband. Bottom line, last name Smith.)
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Tucker Smith (he also goes by Wyatt, but Tucker worked better for my clue) (MS, JC/14…originally a 2013 but since he is a JC he had the option of staying another year and he obviously took it) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.
Tucker is headed to his second JC year and is an absolute phenomenal Long Snapper. Snaps well below .7 on a consistent basis and is built like a D1 athlete already. Keep a very close eye on him as he could get picked up at anytime since he is a qualifier out of high school.

Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE member: Someone with a sigmatism wouldn’t like his first name and if you think I do this in the morning, you have some issues.
(A sigmatism is another word for lisp and anyone with a lisp wouldn’t embrace saying the name Seth due to the TH ending and I would never comb my hair in the morning)
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Seth Combs (IL, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

Did you figure out the clues?
EVENT ELITE member: German K/P w/ good amount of sun & pitcher/barman for the Sox + 2nd smallest planet + result of Toxicodendron radicans
(German K/P is Chris Sailer, who is beyond German, + a tan = Christian. Then, pitcher/barman for Sox was Sam Malone of the TV show Cheers + 2nd smallest planet is Mars + result of Toxicodendron radicans, which is poison ivy, would be itch….so Sam+Mars+Itch = Samarzich
Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Christian Samarzich (CA, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.

Congratulations to Rubio Long Snapper Kyle Murphy (NC, ’14) on being the next member of the EVENT ELITE! The EVENT ELITE will be joining the TOP 12 to form the invite only, TOP 12 and EVENT ELITE Camp this summer.
Kyle has a tremendous frame, moves very well on his feet and is dripping with potential. Some fine tuning and he could easily be top 5 in his class!

As you know, I choose a couple Rubio Long Snappers in college and the pros to help me out at my camps. Vegas is the biggest one and I always get the most requests from athletes wanting to help out. I am sure it has a bit to do with me and a lot to do with Vegas:)
My rationale for who gets to go is simple, you represent me well and you are chosen. Simple. I will check Twitter, Facebook and anything else I can view…if I see anything that does not represent who I am and what Rubio Long Snapping is all about, you will not get brought on staff. My Long Snappers are among the best in the country, however a major factor for choosing my staff members is based upon their personality.
I just received this email from a parent and I had to share….
“Thanks for a great camp. I know you are probably flooded with emails following the camp so I will try and make it brief. I just wanted to share a story from the past weekend. My son _____ was somewhat disappointed in his performance during the camp; he has been working his butt off preparing. As we sat in the airport awaiting our plane my son was still in his Rubio Shirt. Three of your instructors, kickers Matt Anderson (Sailer guy), Andrew Endicott (Sailer guy) and long snapper Nick Monaghan, still in their red shirts, saw him and immediately came over to him. They immediately started asking him about the camp and long snapping, offering advice and encouragement. They asked what his rank was and my son kind of mumbled the # under his breath; all three started laughing about their rankings when they started out. They told him how the kids at the top in the beginning were not always the ones there in the end. Andrew Endicott gave the best advice when he told Jack “this is a game of attrition, the ones that stick with it, work hard, hit the camps are the ones who finish the highest in the end.” They further talked about staying out of trouble and keeping your grades up; utilizing real examples of kids they knew with a ton of talent, who blew it because of bad choices.
I truly could not have scripted a better scenario for that time and place. A nice hello would have been sufficient and made him feel good, but they stayed there talking to him for about twenty minutes. I got the feeling they took immense pride in those red shirts and they felt that it was their turn to repay the mentorship that Rubio Long Snapping / Chris Sailer Kicking staff had given them. I flew home with one motivated kid ready to start preparing for his next camp and the upcoming season. Thanks again for running a great program.”
That email makes my heart full but it gets better. I forwarded it Rubio Long Snapper Nick Monaghan, one of the instructors in Vegas and here was his response….
“We did what the instructors before us did when we were campers.”
And the cycle continues….LOVE it and my heart is full.
Welcome to Rubio Long Snapping.

Rubio Long Snapper Sam Boyd (TX, ’13) has committed to Trinity in San Antonio!
Boyd is an agressive TOP 12 Long Snapper that snaps the ball extremely hard. He is built long and runs like the wind. He is extremely coachable and will do great things for the Tigers. Academically, Boyd is off the charts and has received academic scholarships!
Congratulations to Sam Boyd!
