The earth was rotating in the direction of the pass, too, so once that is taken into account, the ball actually travelled several miles in the air.

The earth rotates around the sun at 67,000 miles per hour, you figure the ball was in the air 2 seconds so it traveled 180 yards + 2233.33 miles.... GOAT pass

This thread is awesome.

Don't even get me started about the motion of the solar system around the galactic center, or the galaxy itself around the gravitational center of the Local Group. The distances involved become truly mind-boggling. The accuracy Coker displayed given the scale of what he was attempting to do can only be described as beyond NFL level.

I consulted with Georgio Tsoukalis of In Search of Aliens and Alien Astronauts History Channel series. He averred that if an ancient caveman had launched a football with an atlatl using the same force employed by whats-his-name that it would still be travelling in a low earth orbit.

Jeremy Coker has a wonderful career ahead of him as a graduate assistant

No coreolis effect? No curvature of the earth factored in? 210 yards

... and into double coverage. His TD was into triple coverage. Both are thanks to great WR play and were terrible decisions and throws. I am in constant amazement that he doesn't throw more picks. Normally it is b/c he is so far off target even the 2 or 3 defenders cannot adjust, or they are shocked when it hits them in the numbers and can't react.

When you think about it this way, it's easy to see why a player like, say, Jeremy Johnson struggles. It isn't that he lacks physical talent or makes poor decisions. It's that he isn't able to mentally solve a complex series of interlocking motion equations while running from defensive linemen to the same degree of accuracy as Coker.

So, you're saying Johnson is stupid ?

You don't have to be stupid not to be astrophysicist-smart, like Coker has to be.

Your math is backwards. He threw it into the earth orbit, so he actually threw it for -2233.33 miles. Coker sucks, and wasn't able to throw a single pass for positive yardage in the first half. Though he turned it around in the second half.

I'm just saying Johnson is probably only working his solutions out to four decimal places, while Coker is going to five or six.

I heard that Coker once threw an apple core almost 300 yards. Not only is he strong, but has uncanny accuracy. He can hit a cat in nutz at 100 yards with an unshelled pecan. Supposedly he spent the summer in intense training at the Maltzahn Quarterback Camp where they teach these skills necessary to compete in the SEC. You should see what he can do with his feet! He once outran a cougar who was chasing a squirrel on the Quad. Some say he is likely to receive multiple Humanitarian awards in the future, based on his courage and bravery alone.
