Do NOT play beer pong with these guys...

The day I make a behind the back shot on a bounce back I'll be happy.

Incidentally, the worst beating I ever took in beer pong was against two of the girls from the Maryland basketball team (Then the reigning national champs). We took our two shots, made one, then never shot again. Hell of a game.

Cut to 10 years after college:

Person 1: No poo? I went to X college, too! Did we ever hang out at the same places?

Person 2: Probably, don't know. I spent 90% of my time videotaping me and my buds doing beer pong trick shots for 4 years. It was awesome.

Person 1: Oh. What are ya up to now?

Person 2: I'm in between apartments right now, saving money at the 'rents while my managerial career at the local movie theater takes off.

Scrum's been doing some research it seems....

For example let’s look at the segment where the guy tosses the ball in the cup off of a moving skateboard. The beauty of all of this is that although the motion of the ball is three dimensional, the motion in each direction is independent of the other two and with a little basic physics we can calculate when and how fast the ball has to be thrown to make the shot. The cup appears to be about 8.0 feet or 2.4 meters away from the thrower. We can’t see the toss too well but we’ll assume he throws the ball up at about a 30 degree angle and the release point is about one meter above the level of the cup.

In the vertical direction we have a constant downward acceleration due to gravity. The motion is simply up and down and is described by the following equation:

Δy = v0 sinθ t – 1/2gt2

Where y = -1.0 m, v0 is the initial velocity, v0sinθ is the initial velocity component in the vertical direction, θ is the initial 30 degree angle of launch, g is the acceleration due to gravity (-9.8m/s2) and t is the time of flight.

In the horizontal direction (parallel to the floor) there’s a constant velocity once the ball is released since there is no horizontally directed force acting on the ball during its flight across the room. The motion equation is:

Δx = 2.4 m = v0cosθ t

And v0cosθ is the constant horizontal component of the velocity.

Solving these equations simultaneously we get v0 = 4.0 m/s, and the time of flight of the ball t = 0.70s.

Now let’s add in the lateral motion. In this direction the ball is simply moving along with the skateboard even after it’s thrown (Newton’s First Law). Since the ball is in flight for 0.70 s that means the thrower has to release the ball exactly that much time before the skateboard crosses the line of the cup. For a skateboard moving at 1.0 m/s that means he has to throw the ball 0.70 m before he arrives in front of the cup.

      Why does Bryce get the blame?

      By JawnyBlaze · Posted

      It wasn’t completely his fault, but outside of two throws and one or two scrambles he didn’t do much to help. His accuracy was all over the place, numerous passes that were placed poorly and didn’t give the receiver a good chance to catch the ball or do anything with it after. He also continues to display terrible pocket awareness. Even the sacks could have been avoided, they weren’t immediate like the pressure we got on Shough at times. Bryce just often has no feel for pressure and stands there waiting to get sacked after numerous seconds have passed.

      I really fuging hate this era in so many ways.  I look at those Adin Ross and Neon kids, and I just wonder why tf are they famous?  Why would anyone be desperate enough to gain THAT audience that they’d risk money, career, disciplinary action to go up there and associate with those fuging dweebs?  And back in my day, racist peers got their ass beat.  And not endorsing or approving bully culture, but checks and balances and all…  had those two been bullied, or at the very least humbled, they wouldn’t be famous and glorified for being the fuging idiots they are now.  It seriously pisses me off… they both have done and said multiple, openly racist stuff and major media keeps pushing them, talking about them, and propping them up… and then dummies like Puka who don’t need the platform or exposure lend their celebrity to them.  fuging idiot… and even the other streamers, I don’t get - Speed, Kai…  I don’t understand making nobodies famous at all, but there is at least entertainment value to some degree there, and I could see how young, impressionable kids would find them something to aspire to (sadly), or view as “cool.”  But Ross and Neon?  They’re just shitty, shitty nerds with big ass mouths. I’ve went back recently and watched some classics (in two very different eras and categories 😂)  like Robocop and Idiocracy.  And what I find fascinating is how both movies illustrate how stupid society became by showing what the citizenry is entertained by.  In both, society became anti-intellectual and the citizenry were entertained by lowest denominator, primal-type absurdity - poo like, “Ouch! My Balls!”  Or on Robocop, a guy is a watching a show where they are smashing cakes on ladies’ breasts and then a guy says a line as the camera zooms in like, “I’d buy that for a dollar!” and the audience thinks it’s hilarious.  That’s where I feel like we are now.  Like who watches that clip with Puka and thinks any of that poo is funny or cool?  If I was Puka, I’d honestly be wondering why tf I’m hanging out with these beta ass, racist, cretin ass weirdos.
