Season 2 Week 8

[gschwendt]

Two UvU games this week, ULL vs ASU and WKU vs NIU. Deadline will be 10/21 or 10/19. However, with that said, I'd like for us to be able to pick up the pace a bit. Seems we're moving at a pretty slow pace lately.

[texacotea]

[psusnoop]

Oneback, well this isn't Michigan vs PSU but it should be a heck of a battle as both teams try to position themselves for runs during these middle weeks of the season.


I can play tonight if you want to, or tomorrow night, or heck you know I'm online just about everynight at 9:30pm est so what ever is best for you I'm game.

[Oneback]

Tonight maybe but it would be later tonight after the Bama game, wifes sister who just graduated from Bama is over tonight. I am unclear on tomorrow night as of right now, I may be at a 11th birthday party for my sons cousin, however I wasn't directly invited only my son and wife...sooooo I may be able to get out of it. If so I should be free anytime after the Cowboys game.

[fsuprime]

ill get it done tomorrow before night time G, sorry for lagging a bit.

- (**) MLB Bryce Burrell has committed to Troy
- (***) WR Josh Ball has committed to Troy

ooooh, nice!

I will get my game in after Da Bears play.

[Oneback]

Plan is for myself and PSU to play after the Cowboys game.

[JBHuskers]

I think I might wait and get this in tomorrow.

[BsktbllJk]

done

[Oneback]

Northern Illinois wins an offensive shootout over Western Kentucky 48-35.

There was almost 1,000 yards of offense in the game.

Great game PSU. The score was a little closer than I expected being that I have the better team but there were a few spots where I honestly thought I could lose the game. In the end me recieving corp just proved to be too much, thankfully.

[crazemac]

I will get my game done monday morning or afternoon.

I had my shots to get back in the game but just couldn't take advantage of the situations. Next year could be the year that the Hilltoppers start making some noise.

Great game, I was exploited big time in the secondary.

[Oneback]

I'll have the video up at some point this week hopefully. I've got to finish the Michigan/USC (half way done) and Michigan/Wisconsin games from Powerhouse first.

[JBHuskers]

Tonight after work and firing up the laundry this will get done.

[crazemac]

ohio is done. Not worried about the rest of recruting!

[gschwendt]

Arkansas State defeats UL Lafayette 55-52 in a crazy back-and-forth matchup in which the teams combined for 985 yards through the air. ULL had the majority of those racking up 573 yards while ASU put up a measly 412. ASU added an additional 130 yards on the ground helping to combined for the total of 1121 yards of offensive production. The only things that stopped these offenses were themselves as each team threw 3 interceptions apiece... in the end, the difference is what the team did with those turnovers as ASU won that battle.

Great game as always tex. Just FYI... no guarantee of a video of this one. For one I'm not positive that the capture completed all the way through but then also Fallout: New Vegas is released tomorrow so I expect to be tied up with that for a long time to come.

[gschwendt]

UvU games are completed... deadline is now set for tomorrow night (though it actually should be tomorrow at 1pm). Still waiting on Temple, UAB, and Troy.

[fsuprime]

playing tonight, UF losing put a bit hit to my plan to play yesterday, was to hungover.

[fsuprime]

game done

[JBHuskers]

Just played the sickest game EVER. My defense had given up 500+ yards in the air in three quarters, and was down 24 at one point in the 4th. Thankfully my defense showed up with a forced fumble and two 3 and outs....and their defense allowed me to win a sick 70-66 game. It was a like a game of NFL Blitz out there. Nearly 1400 yards of total offense, ULM ran 69 plays, I ran 60.

Team|1st|2nd|3rd|4th|Total
ULM|10|28|21|7|66
Troy|7|28|7|28|70

[Coachdenz]

56 points in the 2nd.......Wow

[JBHuskers]

Yeah my zone defense was completely terrible.

[BsktbllJk]

up the sliders!!!!

Heisman anyone??

[JBHuskers]

I don't think Heisman is the answer. It's more user skill vs. a shitty defense and 8 min quarters. My game there were 129 plays ran. Heisman will just have the CPU cheat lol

[Coachdenz]

this years game just feels like wide open gameplay again, no defense what so ever, mine and Bsktblljk game was a track meet. I would like a little more control on Defense with NCAA 12.
