We play some of the same schools so here's another guy as a reference on this metric:

To tack onto these posts, here is some help on defining "big-time throws" (I had never heard it before):

"What is a big-time throw?

In its simplest terms, a big-time throw is on the highest end of both difficulty and value. While the value is easy to see statistically, the difficulty has more to do with passes that have a lower completion percentage the further the ball is thrown down the field. Therefore, the big-time throw is best described as a pass with excellent ball location and timing, generally thrown further down the field and/or into a tighter window."

Has anyone jumped into getting any of these new electric scooters/skateboards/OneWheels? They can go 15 up to 30 mph and nice for quick, local or urban travel. Some even go offroad which could be fun. First saw the OneWheel at festivals, then noticed an absolute hoarde of the "Bird/Uber/Lyft" scooters in Atlanta during a recent music festival.

Wife and I looked into them, the OneWheels seem crazy expensive to me (1k-2k) while some of the scooter or skateboards can go down to $200 or less. One issue right now is our city actually voted against their use. If caught, you can get up to a $100 fine. But we've also thought of just trying out an electric skateboard, since it would be harder for a policeman to notice it. The scooters have handlebars and, when you are going 20 mph straight up a hill downtown, are pretty noticeable. Same with the OneWheels.

Excited about the Tigers this year. Can't wait.

I think it will be reversed from last year. Playing at home, but as the underdog. We will see how the 2 coaches match up in the different roles. I just wonder who is going to be our leader. You know they will come in with swagger, just as we did in their building last year. I would guess Lamonte will be our emotional leader, but as to who is going to be capable of going and taking over games, like Grant or Admiral could...I'm just not sure. Bowden has that ceiling, I believe.

Booooom? Our average recruit ranking just went up...silver linings and all of that jazz. Now we just need to shoo away that Calloway kid and we can be all 4-stars. No 3s allowed.

The difference is that we had an experienced team playing on the road this past year. Memphis will be very young. We may have less talent, but we will still have several veteran players along with 4 and 5 star freshmen.

Good point. Hopefully we can rattle the young'ens.

Things could always be worse. Blueblood USC is currently 54th...UCLA and VT are in the 60s. If we ever hit up the sub-50 rankings, wake me up then. Until then, these are just blips on a long-range radar.

The onewheel is great.
The only problem is the battery dies quickly.
By that I mean if the charge is low it will just stop. It doesn’t seem like that big a problem till you’re going 20 mph and it quits.

I have a buddy who broke a collar bone recently in a crash because it just quit.

Golf sucks. Golf courses are a tremendous waste of land. Up there with graveyards.

Golf courses are a great use of land. Some run along rail lines or power lines, which is land that is not valuable. Playing golf is a wonderful thing as you can observe nature’s beauty whether it’s near the coast or inland in the trees.

Shiiiiiz! Would not just staying in-range "solve" this issue? Definitely sounds dangerous, but avoidable.
