When I saw this, I believed it.
I just showed Pete. He doesn’t.
What do you think? Possible?

I think it could be real ;)
real. i am sure there are high school/college guys with that much time on their hands. amazing, if it is real. wow.
If it is, I’d like to know their GPAs. They can’t be doing much studying. :)

Totally real. A college dorm full of guys would spend years perfecting that. For sure.

Definitely the real deal.
Tony LaMarca’s last blog post..Calling vs Willingness
Real or not, those guys have WAY too much time on their hands. They are interning at my place. WAIT. Those dudes are creative. Maybe they need to intern here. It could be real. But I won’t tick off the Pete Wilson to keep my opinion……..

you can tell it’s real…they get so excited in the background for the really hard shots. you know, it only takes a million tries to get it right. oh the joys of college free time!!!
I hope it’s real. I’m glad to see people putting their time and energy into something that’s actually productive :).

Phil Thompson’s last blog post..Dealing with the Walking Wounded
physics aren’t even close; good idea, totally fake.
don’t think it’s real…watch at 2:05…the ball freezes for a half-second (at least) before it drops in the cup. the guys keep moving, but the ball stops, so I don’t think it’s a glitch.
not saying it couldn’t be real…but don’t think it is.
It’s real. Read the article in comment #2.

Tell Pete I said “oh you of little faith’. haha. o-mazing.

The video is edited for sure. Some of them had to be totally fake.
ChrisW(Churchpunk)’s last blog post..Road Trip Conversations
dude that is so sweet
I’d say a mix of real (with countless takes) and careful editing (but probably not actual video altering). On some of the shots, you don’t actually see the ball go in the cup. And the layup shot – the guy trailing misses the layup, ball definitely goes in front of the rim. The idea’s as old as fishing shows; those guys look like pros because they film for a week to get 22 minutes of footage.

I believe it’s real, and I’m betting they’re into engineering.

There is NO WAY that was real … TOTALLY FAKE … but cool nonetheless! :)
Kevin M.’s last blog post..Another Group Blogging Project
I think it’s real. But I do wonder how many hours and hours of video and editing they did to get that 3:41 of footage. It’s amazing what guys will sit around and think of. And the effort they will put into a dream. Oh, to be able to bottle that and sell it…
Cindy’s last blog post..Hope…
HA! Lovin’ your blog! This is absolutely real. This is what happens when engineering and physics students get bored! Speaking as one of the former at one time I wasted many an hour in similar activities with pool balls. ‘Nuff Said!
My vote is – real. They’re either really bored or physics majors (I’m a nerd so I know it’s possible to do the math for each shot)!
Cynthia Hendrix (@CynHendrix)’s last blog post..Word of the Day: kibitzer
Real. I work with engineers. I know these things…
David’s last blog post..Living a Christian Lifestyle in the Workplace
I’m going to go with childlike faith here and say it’s real. And…no offense to Pete, of course…but maybe he’s been out of college too long to remember just how much time is wasted in dorm life?? (Just kidding, Pete!!!) :)
Mary @ Giving Up on Perfect’s last blog post..Me, Myself & Lies: Intro
I am sad but I am skeptical. Think there has to be some editing involved, at least in some of the shots.
Lindsey Nobles’s last blog post..One is Silver and the Other’s Gold
I did a gig at Olivet Nazarene. There ain’t nothin’ else in that town. Plenty o time to become a ping pong ball ninja.
Real. Have you seen the basketball video like this.

Looks real to me! Practice makes perfect, I guess.
Janel’s last blog post..Clarity
I can’t believe I just wasted 3:41 watching it… can’t imagine how much time they wasted creating it. :) But it’s pretty believable.
Jenni Catron’s last blog post..Multi-site Church Leaders/Pastors – Check this out!
i know some guys who would totally do something like this
I can believe it. The thing that really surprises me is, Pete doesn’t, considering his juggling routine. lol
Tommy Sircy’s last blog post..The Stage Is Set
Oh, see…I thought I liked you, Shaun Groves. I live in ONU’s town, and there is….alot….some….okay. They have time to kill.
Real.
I’m sure it’s got something to do with physics and angles and college guys with too much free time …
I would definitely say for real.
Carol’s last blog post..Take The Limitations Off God!
That could be real, but that’s way to much skill invested in that stuff! It’s cool in any case!
Josh Wagner’s last blog post..What Am I Worth?
All I know is that I *want* it to be real…
very skeptical…looks edited to me…
Rhett Smith’s last blog post..Cultivate Conference 09
Oh I bet its real… and I bet each one of those shots took 20 tries! But it’s a Christian college, and they’ve got all that free time since they don’t throw keggers, so I’m saying it’s real.
ryan guard’s last blog post..pong shots
No way is it real. Watch the last shot… The ping pong balls in the cup do not stack like they should and one even disappears a the end. i am sure there may be some real shots, but most are not.
Def possible. It wasn’t done on the first try but it could happen.
Rob Shepherd’s last blog post..Swine Flu After Effects
There’s really no reason to be skeptical of this. If you’re a ping pong fan, a foos ball fan, a skater fan, a BMX biker fan, or any kind of tricker whatsoever, you know good and well people do some AMAZING things. The tricks in that video are completely doable and even seem like the type of thing a few skilled young men would try to do.
Well, they’re obviously in a college dorm, so what else are you going to do in college other than that? Some people would say learn, but, c’mon! Totally REAL.
John Blanchard’s last blog post..Blogging? Me? Yes.
That was awesome!!! Now I need to go back and change my ‘I wonder” statement to: I wonder how many out-takes it took to actually make that video. :) These guys have waaaaaay too much time on their hands!
naaaa…
can’t be.
I sure laughed and dropped the ‘ole jaw several times though!
