The biggest critique I have with this is too many significant digits in your final results, given the imprecision of the times. If we had times to the nearest tenth of a second, the velocity calculations would be much more reliable. For instance, if you take that 11 seconds for the entire run, and vary it from 10.5 to 11.49, the range of times that could be rounded off to 11, you get an average speed that ranges from 17.2 to 18.9 mph.
And, (extremely minor correction, given my first comment), it appears you mis-entered something in your calculations for the 4-5 segment. 120 feet should be 0.02273, yielding a segment speed of 20.45 mph.
UPDATE: I had to repitch the yeast in my batch. It sat for about 72 hours (I was trying to be patient) and there were no bubbles and no krausen. Clearly I had a bad batch of yeast. My question is did I repitch the new yeast in time to save it, or is my "beer" most likely going to come out tasting just awful?
Eggie has you covered here.
Concerning the Prop 65 note, it just means there is trace amounts of lead in the product. If it were in areas that allow you to ingest it, they wouldn't sell it. For instance I bought head phones for my son and it had that note. However, it was for the soldering inside. I'm assuming that it is used somewhere in the kegerator, potential on the electronics or something.
Cleaning the lines is paramount though. A lot of bars don't do this on a regular basis and it screws the breweries. That's why I like to frequent bars like Meridian or Brooklands Pint as they are militant about it. Even have events selling the beer cheaper before the cleaning to save from throwing beer out.
500$?!?!
I only got about a tree fiddy
If you watch the 2008 game against Miami the "escape hatch" idea is on full display. We may have given up 200 sacks (I'm exaggerating, but seriously) that year if not for Tyrod's elusiveness.

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day I feel like we haven't gotten feedback on the coaches like this in the past. Maybe it was assumed, but a lot of recruits talking about knowledge, how great they will do at VT, and how much they care about the kids. Also heard a lot of looking forward to playing for a coach. Anyway, that to me was the majority of comments. Definitely brightens ones day.

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day On a serious note this is great!
The new staff is really trying to demonstrate that VT is the place to be!
Whether it works or not is somewhat of a side note to the fact that they are breathing life into our recruiting game.

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day Which firmly resides in the cake domain.
What's a true RS freshman? I'm pretty sure you can be one or the other, but not both.
Motley has a chance but he would have to be miles and miles ahead of the other 3 qb's in that room.
I don't think he has to be 'miles' ahead of Evans and Lawson, but I agree he needs to be substantially better than those two. I think Motley's situation looks a lot like Leal's when Brewer came in. In one corner, you've got the veteran career backup with only one year of eligibility remaining. He's serviceable, but somewhat limited in his skill set. In the other you've got a transfer who came in with 2 years of eligibility remaining. (for the sake of the analogy, we'll ignore Lawson, though he certainly has the potential to be a factor as well.) We've got a new offensive staff and a new offensive scheme, essentially starting from square one. It's an imperfect analogy, since Lefty was in year two at the time, of course, but we had just lost LT3, who was pretty much our entire offense in Lefty's first year. If you go with the senior, you know you'll be starting over again next year. So if the competition is close, it's almost certainly in the best interest of the team to go with the QB who'll still be here next year (or the next 2 years, if it's Lawson). It's definitely too early to count Motley out, but he's got an uphill battle for sure.
Silence peasant.

# | Hokies Stage Eating Contests, Cornhole Tournaments to Impress 2017, 2018 Recruits on Junior Day Clearly O-line recruits need to engage in a pancake-eating contest.
I'll bet they don't.
That's just the average. He started from a still position, so his top speed was much higher than that
So I dove deeper to get a closer estimate of how fast DW was on this play. Fortunately, he didn't change direction too much, so this should be pretty close.
Here are the points that I took readings:
- Caught the ball @ middle field VT 11 yard line - 2:34 minutes - ran to outside hash
- Changed direction @ outside hash VT 22 yard line - 2:32 minutes - ran straight
- Changed direction @ outside hash VT 30 yard line - 2:31 minutes - ran towards the sideline
- Changed direction @ sideline GT 40 yard line - 2:27 minutes - ran towards endzone
- Reached Endzone @ sideline GT 0 yard line - 2:23 minutes
(*this is assuming he ran a straight line from each point, which isn't entirely correct but it's the best I can do)
Used Pythagorean theorem to get the distance from pt. 1 to pt. 2 and pt. 3 to pt. 4 (A^2 + B^2 = C^2). Middle of the field to the outside hash is 20 feet. Outside hash to the sideline is 60 feet.
I got the following distances:
- 1 - 2 = 38.59 ft (.00731 miles) in 2 secs (.00056 hr) = 13.05 MPH
- 2 - 3 = 24 ft (.00455 miles) in 1 sec (.00028 hr) = 16.25 MPH
- 3 - 4 = 108.17 ft (.02049 miles) in 4 secs (.00111 hr) = 18.46 MPH
- 4 -5 = 120 ft. (.02279 miles) in 4 secs (.00111 hr) = 20.48 MPH
- TOTAL = 290.76 ft (.05514 miles) in 11 secs (.00306 hr) = 18.02 MPH
TOP SPEED = 20.48 MPH
AVG SPEED = 18.02 MPH
EDIT: I know we have a lot of engineers on this board and it's been a long time since I've done calculations like this before. So please feel free to check/critique my work because it would be cool to know exactly how fast DW ran on this play.
