The 6-second Kickoff Return

[Terry43]

I just finished the 6th game of the Hunger Games Double-elimination tournament and the defending Fruit Bowl Champion Oughtin' Otters won 41 to 34.

In the 2nd Quarter Oughtin' Otters WR/KR #22 set a World Land Speed Record of 6 seconds for the 100 yard dash. The little plastic peep did this on a Tudor Ultimate Field. He's riding on a 1967, single-clip, Aqua-colored base. He weighs 5.37 grams.

Here's the video in real time.

 

 

That started me thinking, What if 6 seconds really is the fastest 100 yard dash on an ultimate field. Wouldn't it be awesome to have a Guinness Book of Electric Football World Records. Then I thought, why not the Tudor Forum? We could have categories like, Most Touchdowns, 1 player, 1 game; Most receiving yards, 1 player, 1 game; Most solo tackles, 1 player, 1 game.

Fastest Kickoff Return: Oughtin' Otters #22. October 10, 2023: 100 Ultimate yards, 6 seconds.

That would be a treasure.

Amazing! Then, there’s the randomness of how things turn out. On a recent play, Unitas was set to fade right and connected on a pass for 30 yards to Berry of the Colts. This took the play to the 9 yard line. I noticed had he run a naked bootleg, he would’ve scored. So the next play I set up exactly the same and the Browns got him for an 11 yard loss at the 20. I don’t know whether to be intrigued or disappointed. As for GBWR for electric football, verification would be the only drawback.

Journey On!

Agreed, verification would be difficult. Probably impossible. Oh well, still fun to think about. 😃👍

Drives me crazy. 😜  Here are Otters' #22's kickoff return yards from last season: 100 yards — 12 yards — 60 yards — 18 yards — 12 yards — 100 yards — 77 yards — 

28 yards — 100 yards — 22 yards — 13 yards — 39 yards — 16 yards — 16 yards. Consistency. What's that? 🤖
