Colt McCoy to Jordan Shipley at 40 MPH

Posted by Trips Right on September 2nd, 2009 under Football

This is probably the coolest thing you can do on a boat.  Well, one of them anyway.  Certainly the coolest thing you can do at over 40 mph on a boat.

The throw is, of course, accurate, but the catch is unreal.

  1. That was awesome. It looked a hell of a lot faster from the boat.

    So was the boat going 40 mph? I wonder what the true closing speed of the ball was at it made it to Shipley’s hands (ball speed from Colt’s arm + speed of the boat). Figure that with the angle of the toss and some trig thrown in – say 60 mph total speed?

  2. Huck is triangulating the equation with an abacus and a sliderule
    while blind folded to make it challenging.

  3. However, with that extra data point, Huck will finally be able to explain how Colt will perform better than last year.

  4. Tebow would have just walked across the water and handed it to Jordan.

  5. Only if the boat came within 3.9 yards of the shore, Nordberg.

  6. Bravo, gents. That was classic.

  7. [...] Throw to your wide receiver flying across the water at 40 mph all you like: the real wonder is in the clip above, where Tulsa’s Mike Bryan demonstrates the time-honored Okie fishing method of noodling, also known as “fishing for non-pussies.” Someday this concept will expand to grouper, tuna, and if you’re a real man, sharks. Take footage, send post-haste plz in Youtube-ready format. [...]

  8. For all you kids out there who think it would be cool to imitate Colt and Ship, don’t do this. It is dangerous. Running a boat at 40 mph that close to shore is insane. Standing up in a boat at 40 mph while you are concentrating on catching a football is insane. What happens if you lose your balance when the ride gets a little bumpy and you fall into the pilot? What happens if there is a carom on the ball and it ends up hitting the pilot in the face (at an effective speed > 40 mph)? There is a decent chance it could be disastrous.

  9. If kids are reading this site, this is probably one of the least damaging or dangerous things they’ve been exposed to so far.

  10. Everything about this post, this article, and the comments reek of laser awesomnality.

  11. I find kafka to be the second most terrifying poster on the Internet behind “3 MNC in a Row”.

  12. It would only have been better if Colt had thrown the fish.

    Odds are, Shipley wouldn’t drop that bass.

  13. My question is who sanctioned this fishing trip? Did the players pay their own way or was there a wealthy crippled man who footed the bill who has no rooting interest?

    Pretty sweet video actually.

  14. [...] Colt to Ship is just unfair. [...]

    Ag, cool, I agree with pretty much everything you say except your claim that you dictated tempo to UNM. But no biggie.

    The reason I like Siena is that it’s basically the same team that beat Ohio State in the tourney last year and then played a 1 seeded Louisville team down to the wire.

    Baylor’s playing really good ball with really good players. I guess that’s why I picked them, but I’m probably overthinking things and should have written Duke in.

    “Sometimes, I watch the 4th quarter of the title game.”

    The best is when it’s tied at the end of regulation, and they have a shoot-out. And if they’re still tied at the end of that, they play an extra 18 holes the next day. “Extra innings” is what they
