Finished Black Bird up last night, any of you Apple TV streamers seen it?

I really thought the two main actors did a killer job.

Never heard of it. . . I have just finished season 3 of Succession though. . .

How fast do high school pitchers usually throw?

My son is 14 and his top fast ball is 82 right now. Weve got a senior lefty on our team that hits 92. In the state of SC at the high school level, weve got some elite pitchers that are juniors and seniors that throw in the mid 90's.

On my list.

Black Bird is just a mini series (6 episodes) Taron Egerton is the big name in it.

Yeah I don't think in my 4 years of HS I saw a single pitcher in the 90s. But was at a small school too, @scienceteaching_vol might remember better since I think one of the better baseball teams we had was his senior year.

Am I the only one who doesn’t care about this part of the game? Like give me made up faces and names, I don’t care, I just want to start building my UT dynasty.

I'm sure you're aware already but there's still a very active community updating the rosters, playbooks and jerseys for modded Xboxes with College Football Revamped on them. I bought a modded Xbox last year just to play it. They have our black jerseys and our team/style was as fun to play with as you'd imagine.

Do you put your seatbelt on before or after you start your car?

My truck doesn't have seatbelts...

It was great.

I’m so lame when it comes to anything tech. Which is upsetting bc I would LOVE to have our updated jerseys and play style. That’s the stuff I care about. Did you just buy an Xbox with that stuff already updated on the game on there?

I’m sure the players care about being in the game - would be awesome for them - I’m just more interested in everything else the game offers.

I saw two that hit low 90s and one that was mid 90s.
That was scary as $h!+ for a 17 yr old…..all three pitched in the majors.

88 is pretty impressive

Can't you edit name and number? I don't care if it is their face, . I never really cared about editing in their name or number. . . but I did used to wonder if giving a player a certain name and number would secretly boost their stats. Kinda like a cheat code.

. . . especially knowing that those guys are still young and it'd be real easy for them to lose control of that kind of pitch. Can't imagine a 90mph pitch would feel too good on the eye socket or funny-bone, or anywhere else. . . plus most batters are probably not skilled or experienced enough at that age to recognize an errant pitch fast enough to protect themselves.

I really hope they hit the under

I wish I had a good recommendation on where to get a modded xbox. The guy I got mine from got shut down I think. He was pushing out like 4 modded boxes every other day at 200-350 a pop. He had a good run, I don't know if big corp got him or the government nailed him (hello IRS), but all of his stuff is down now.

It looks like there are some other shops/people out there that can do it. Just make sure you get College Football Revamped on there.

That's been their issue. Bama hasn't been trying to bury us before.

Saban admitted he called the dogs off against Pruitt early. Obviously his word is tfwiw but it did look like he let off the gas earlier than usual.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

I really hope they hit the under

El Naperino isn't gonna be a fan favorite. Pretty awesome that they Mike Hamilton'd themselves into a ridiculous contract for him,

Try disc golf. Much more enjoyable.

Until you hit that tree right by the tee box that there is no way you will hit, and your new disc falls into the pond

Not that I've ever done that....more than a few times...

 

[RudyVol]

Do you think they can? I don't.

I hope not. They will if Milton and our defense are terrible, both of which are possible. I'm cautiously optimistic Joe is not terrible after the Clemson game, but I believe it would be unwise to not consider the possibility that he absolutely stinks it up again. If we are that version of the team Saban will put 70 on us.

Bud Light controversy and now Sports Illustrated…

It’s almost as if someone says “What is the absolute worst decision we could make?”…. And then pay the monies to do that thing.

Knowing your audience is not high level marketing guru stuff. People will talk about it, but won’t buy it. Look at Bud Light sales since March. Down 18-20% last time I checked

Maybe 80 year old men are the only ones still purchasing Sport Illustrated?

Scout notes:

“Great accuracy and technique, but slow. Will have difficulty creating own shot. Talks incessently of destroying the human race; could impact locker room culture.”
