wear your flat bill proudly.

RIP Mike Patrick...one of my favorite announcers....especially for college football.

Nostalgic for me as most of the first games I remember he called.

Would you be willing to fight a "tired" gorilla with 10 other avg men and no weapons?

The question is 100 men, not 11. Also, the gorilla is saying "Hell, no!" when asked if he'd be willing to fight 100 men. As I said earlier, he's running away from them.

i dunno man skid steers may break down. also tarriffs...

I love 'Tarrifs' getting thrown in to the conversation out of the blue. . Clearly, there will be no Man vs Skid Steer if we have to pay a bunch more money for said equipment.

Yeah, the hypothetical only works if both parties must fight.

 

[SugarCC]

Pretty much every animal expert I've seen has said the men would win and it wouldn't be closed largely because Gorillas, while far stronger, lower endurance and certainly not enough to kill 100 men. Once exhausted, it would be over with.

The first however many dudes though are getting absolutely dumpstered lol

No, no! Those "animal experts" are FOS. The Steve Irwin of primates, Enk and Weez, know better.

Right, he's already ripped through 40, and worn completely out. Now he has 60 more to go. A gorilla's stamina is for sh!t. Made for quick bursts of damage, then tires out...EASILY. At least that's what people who study and make a career of such things say.

Gorillas have a much higher percentage of white muscle fiber which makes them quick twitch and explosive. It also means that they have much lower endurance.

gorillas are notoriously isolatory and are extremely sensitive to any climate - or physical changes. they share common dna with us. there's a reason you wear surgical masks when around them. took forever for the gorillas in the most lady to find them. extremely intelligent creatures. their fight or flight would kick in, not wanting to get sick, and wanting to get away.

this is a stupid scenario

In my unpopular opinion, this is what CFB needs (maybe not Saban at the head of it), but we need some guardrails that the NCAA obviously has no power to implement anymore.

I think this was inevitable once the NIL/Transfer Portal door was opened. This will probably lead to some sort of collective bargaining

The foundation of guard rails already been laid and will be finished by the lawyers. Nico really ushered in the NIL craziness and now he is the spark of it being reigned in. The schools can not allow unfettered free agency and they are not going to tolerate the grab a bag and run to go on.

On the next Steve Wilkos show " VolNation explains how a Gorilla whips a 100 men's @$$e$."

Gorilla can't run away in this scenario. How are you gonna get more than 10 men to attack at once? There isn't enough room. Even if you stacked 20 men on top of it, he could throw the whole pile off with ease.

Gorillas have a much higher percentage of white muscle fiber which makes them quick twitch and explosive. It also means that they have much lower endurance.

I've said from the beginning, the first group of men to charge it are getting expired. As you said, their quick bursts and explosiveness, with their strength and power...the damage they would inflict on the first couple of waves would be the stuff of nightmares. Now they have 50 to 60 men to go, worn the hell out. It's just a fact, they are not built for prolonged fighting. Their stamina and endurance won't allow it.

 

[Enki_Amenra]

Man at work just uploaded this for me to share. Starting to work on the gen 2 Ram 2500. This is stock, before I do anything to the engine. It sounds pretty good. May not put a cam in and just add long-pipe headers and maybe a neighbor hater exhaust or something loud.

If you send sets of 5 at it, he's slaughtering 20 to 30 men. Now he's extremely tired, with 70 to 80 men to go.

I understand your thinking; I thought pretty much the same thing...the gorilla is laying waste to all 100. Then I looked into it. The way they are built, if they have to move fast and exert themselves too much, their muscles are so heavy it WEARS THEM OUT.

A tired gorilla isnt the same as a tired man. Their wild instincts would keep them ripping men apart.

 

[Carp]

Honestly, the Gorilla would probably just runaway. 100 humans coming at you would be pretty intimidating. Hell ever since I watched that Alfred Hitchcock movie, I've never fully trusted a flock of birds.

 

[Jackcrevol]

Honestly we should send @Weezer's mom after the gorilla. she's all

 

[peaygolf]

Hey now, you can go see Shinedown/Bush this weekend. And, Morgan Wade. I like her but many don't know her.

Wild animals get tired too my guy. Ever watched a pride of lions take down a fully sized elephant that outweighs them by several tons? It isn't the scratches and the biting that eventually take it down. Eventually it just tires out and doesn't have the energy to fight back.

Ok, Dian Fossey.

As I said, whenever I first saw this, my first thought was the gorilla would win, because I had no idea. Then I listened to primatologists, zoologists, and animal experts...the same way I would listen to a rocket scientist about rockets, or Peyton Manning about the No Huddle. They ALL said the men would win.
