[gschwendt]

Jeff, let me know when you want to play. I'm playing E in MidTier tomorrow night but I'm sure we can play before or after... just let me know. Otherwise Thursday is open as well.

[ryby6969]

OB, just let me know when you get back in town and are ready to play.

[psusnoop]

Prime, I'm open tonight after 10pm as well as Thursday night after 10pm.

[RcSinger]

Losing 5* and 4* Offensive Linemen to other teams is a sure way to never be able to run the ball again. Sigh!

[fsuprime]

snoop tonight after 10 it is, ill be on a flight tomorrow

[psusnoop]

OK sounds good.

[Papa LoneStar]

:Texas:

Last week the Sooners were idle.
This week, the Sooners are idle.

:bang::smh:

[psusnoop]

Lol the suspense has to be killing you. I'd be nuts already.

[Papa LoneStar]

I feel ya, Snoop....but at least he doesn't have to worry about taking a break from Week 3-14

[RcSinger]

I am about to upload my duke game so you guys can critique my gameplay. Oneback asked for me to upload the entire game, playcalling and all.

The bad thing is the game went my way for most of the game. A few things were a little crazy and you might can give me some pointers, but I dominated this game.

I had to hook up my VHS to DVD and play the game on my cpu screen which sucked. I want to get one of those Hava devices and If someone can PM me with all the details I would appreciate it. What adapters do I need and what type Hava box should I buy etc.

[JeffHCross]

I am nuts already.Fixed.

[fsuprime]

FSU wins 42-38

FSU was down 31-14 at the half and did not score until the second quarter after multiple picks by QB Jacob Coker. FSU scored 14 in the 3rd quarter to make a game of it again despite Coker completely chunking one in the dirt on 4th and 1 lol. PSU scored with 1:30 left to take a 3 point lead but FSU would answer quickly back and intercept PSU on their final drive. FSU's D came up big with 2 or 3 picks in the 2nd half.

fsu

J. Coker 18-28 447 4TDs 3ints 2 times sacked
E. Reed 10 rushes for 52 yards
J. Deloach 10 tackles 1 Int
R. Holley 6 rec 163 yds 1 TD
K. Robinson 5 rec 121 yds 1 TD
D. Marks 3 rec 78 yds 1 TD
B. Muse 1 rec 29 yds 1 TD
Wali Powell 11 Tackles 2 TFLs and a sack

psu

Eddie Shelby 22/33 282 2 TDs 4 Ints sacked 3 times
David Chambers 20 rushes 91 yards 1 TD (43 yards after first hit)
S. Clark 7 rushes for 41 yards
S. Collins 5 rushes 17 yards 2 TDs
C. Mcclellan 6 rec 85 yds 1 TD
A. Brown 5 rec 70 yds 1 TD

T Wilkinson 7 tkl
E. Smith 2 2 tkl 2 INts

[psusnoop]

Prime it really was a battle of halfs almost. I won the first half, you won the second half. I think it was 3 picks in the second half.


Another fun note, as PSU scored to take a 38-35 lead with 1:00 (and change) left in the game PSU was facing a 3rd and 20 from the FSU 20yd line. I called a deep comeback and hit it but I was held short. I was facing a 4th and inches from inside the 1yd line and I think FSU has 1 TO at this point left. All of a sudden I break huddle and FSU jumps offsides. My first thought was BOOM game over I can run the clock out now, to only see that it was still 4th and inches. GRRRR


Great game, just disappointed in my second half as you were with the first.

[RcSinger]

By the way jeff, one of those infamous "Roughing the Passer" Penalties is in that video in the 3rd or 4th quarter.

[fsuprime]

yea snoop, im glad it was still 4th and inches because I was just doing defensive audibles and all the sudden my line backer jumps forward like 3 yards lol.

Did you have to request to be able to upload videos longer than 15 min or did they just give you the ability? I read that you have to have no knocks against your account for copyright issues... unfortunately I do from my highlight videos.

[RcSinger]

They just did it. the last time I logged in it said I had been approved for greater than 15 minutes.

[JeffHCross]

Breaking News: Wisconsin crushes Texas A&M, 35-10

Coach JeffHCross had this to say: "Yeah, I think everyone in our locker room, nay, all of College Station, nay, all of the college football world, saw this coming. I'm just impressed all of our players showed up today. Hell, I'm just happy none of them were injured!"

The Aggies severely struggled to find an offensive identity in their first game of the season. And while the Badgers weren't exactly firing on all cylinders, the defense was able to generate five punts and give the offense great field position all game.

[JeffHCross]

I'll be recruiting after work tomorrow

[psuexv]

What's the status on an advance? I still have a bad taste in my mouth from Snoop and need to get back on the field (and yes I meant that to be dirty)

[gschwendt]

Not sure who remains but I believe Oneback is still out of town...

[psusnoop]

From the vacation thread, OB gets back in town on Saturday.

Plus Oregon still has to play and Miami vs Michigan will have to be played.

[Iron Dragon]

Catching Up with former Oklahoma QB Alex McSux

Alex McSux, the failure of the 2014 Sooner football team led Fart State University in a 70-3.. loss.. in their season opener.

McSux, due to depression, gained over 75 pounds in the off-season and now weighs in at 290lbs at his 6'3" size. McSux was 7-for-38 for 11 yards and 5 INTs. McSux's performance for the newly founded Fart State University was the most passing yards in a single game for the school. McSux was sacked a school record low 15 times, as Fighting Llamas were proud of their performance.

FSU's offensive line is the smallest in the country, as LT Jeff Dump, a freshman, weighs in at 5'4", 150lbs and runs a 6.2 40 time. "This game is hard for the kids.", said coach Dick Bumpas Jr.

Meanwhile, George Gray who now works at the Missouri Walmart was promoted from trainee to assistant to the assistant janitor.

I'm bored, okay?

[Oneback]

I get back in town Saturday at 3:30pm, however ATT doesn't come to install until Sunday between 9a-12p at the new house.

[ryby6969]

Let me know when you want to knock our game out on Sunday.

[RcSinger]

Are you getting Uverse or DSL? If it's dsl, i don't understand how you got a commitment on a sunday, you are in texas, the original SBC so perhaps their scheduling is different.

[Escobar]

RC, I watched your game and I think part of the problem is that you're using the Ask Coach for playcalls. It's almost like picking plays at random, and sometimes the playcalling can get predictable when you play users. It also puts you at a disadvantage for not knowing what formation you are in, especially on defense. I have a friend who does that and he can't stop anybody on defense, because alot of times he'll come out in a formation that doesn't fit what the offense has on the field.

Thanks, just got An iPhone and I'm checking it out. It'll be nice tone able to check in while I'm at work.

Yea, I'm about to buy the HTC Inspire next week. So I'll be able to do everything while away from home. I just might actually get a twitter. :whoa:

[RcSinger]

A Twatter you mean?

[RcSinger]

I do use the cpu picked plays a lot, but a lot of that game I was facing the No huddle, Duke ran no huddle about 80% of their TOP.

[JeffHCross]

RC, based on some of your comments these last few weeks, I'd advise you to take the sliders that Oneback has setup in our OD, find a team similar to your current VT squad, and just play through some offline dynasty games when you have spare time. When you make comments like not understanding the player switching, not knowing which gameplan settings are good for your team, and using CPU picked plays ... that all sounds like you're just not comfortable in the game. Playing some Play Now or Offline Dynasty games could really help with all three of those. You could try out different gameplan settings without there being any actual risk, for example.

It's not that I am unfamiliar with the game, I have had every version since NCAA fb 98. I never use gameplanning because it always gets me penalties. The sliders are an issue I need to practice with. I don't use the "recommended" play by the CPU, but I am a quick playcaller, so when the screen pops up, I usually scroll around and find a play I like or seems suitable. I have run into the problem though of choosing a run play and find out it was a shotgun formation.
I myself have noticed thAt often when playing a user that the " skills" SS rAting will be significantly higher for my opponent. Which tells me thAt my stick skills are lacking to some degree.

[JeffHCross]

It's not that I am unfamiliar with the game, I have had every version since NCAA fb 98.I know, but you did say "since next gen, I cannot play this game". A lot's changed.

[Oneback]

Are you getting Uverse or DSL? If it's dsl, i don't understand how you got a commitment on a sunday, you are in texas, the original SBC so perhaps their scheduling is different.

I am getting Uverse.

[RcSinger]

I am getting Uverse.

That makes sense then. U will love it. U getting 12 Meg broadband and 32 overall I assume.

[psusnoop]

Sweet OB

[Kingpin32]

Oregon is done.

[JeffHCross]

Kingpin, I'm not sure when we'll be advancing today, but I'll be available after 6 eastern today and after 7 eastern tomorrow.

[Oneback]

I have internet again, still waiting for ATT to finish up however. Need to then run over to the old place and go get food for the week.

[ryby6969]

OB, when we start the offseason in my other OD we will be in week 2 recruiting already so hopefully it won't take too long and we can knock this game out tonight.

[Oneback]

Let me know when. Depending on what time it is we may have to wait until tomorrow.

[ryby6969]

Let me know when. Depending on what time it is we may have to wait until tomorrow.

Yeah, it is not looking good right now. We are still in week 3. :(

[ryby6969]

OB, let me know what you want me to do. I am willing to wait and am available the next 3 nights.

[RcSinger]

Im ok with waiting until you feel better, I am hip deep in Gun stuff right now and have some time to wait. But as far as my vote OB, Consider my vote to be one on the side of the majority, whatever everyone else wants to do is ok with me.

[JeffHCross]

The fact that we haven't heard again from OB tonight tells me the man is laid up somewhere semi-conscious. So either way, I'm pretty sure we're at least waiting out the night.

[fsuprime]

i voted by phone to wait last night so i assume most of us did the same

[psusnoop]

i voted by phone to wait last night so i assume most of us did the same

Same here.

[psuexv]

I didn't vote but I say we don't wait..... j/k. Get better OB, I had that shit 2 weeks ago and I'm still not completely right.

[psusnoop]

I didn't vote but I say we don't wait..... j/k. Get better OB, I had that shit 2 weeks ago and I'm still not completely right.

Understatement of the day!

[Papa LoneStar]

2 big ooc games and I know from experience that it's tough to win a title and he has a chance with that front 7

[Oneback]

I may be well enough to play tonight. Although yesterday at about this time I was feeling better as well until I got hit by the Mac truck at around 3pm. Went to the doctor and they are holding me out of work until Thursday, and gave me all of the flu drugs and said I have flu like symptoms but not the flu. Must be all the emergen-c I've been taking since Sunday night helping keep a full blown flu at arms length.

So...., what did you do here in Orlando? Get drunk and skinny dip in the cold weather? ;)

[Oneback]

So...., what did you do here in Orlando? Get drunk and skinny dip in the cold weather? ;)

I got plenty drunk a few nights, but no skinny dipping. The flu has been going around in my area for a few weeks now and my son had a cough a week ago but never got any worse.

[ryby6969]

How are you feeling OB?

[Oneback]

I just woke up, I ment to wake up around 830p so we could get our game in. If your still up and want to play send me a text. I'll be home again tomorrow so I should be free most of the day.

I work until like 8pm est tonight and have a GT5 league race at 9. I can play after and if that is a problem I can skip my league race and play at 9. Just let me know what works for you.

[Oneback]

I can play after your GT race (how long does that take?), I've been doing nothing but sleeping just about all week so I can spare a few hours before going back to work tomorrow.

[ryby6969]

I can play after your GT race (how long does that take?), I've been doing nothing but sleeping just about all week so I can spare a few hours before going back to work tomorrow.

At most it takes a hour.

[Oneback]

That should be fine, so we are looking at a kickoff at 10p est/9p cen?

[ryby6969]

That should be fine, so we are looking at a kickoff at 10p est/9p cen?

Yeah, does that work for you?

[Oneback]

works for me.

[psuexv]

I just realized I haven't played a game in Powerhouse since last Tuesday.

[psuexv]

G - what's your schedule look like after we get an advance tonight? I'm playing Mors in SBCOL tomorrow night at 9 but might be able to roll after that depending on how stressful that game is. Or Friday is open for me.

Edit - Friday night after 9est is open for me.

[ryby6969]

Ready when you are OB.

[ryby6969]

Miami goes into Ann Arbor and upsets the #2 Wolverine 31-13. Junior HB Derek Scales earned POTG honors with 136 yard 3 TD performance.(65 came on a game sealing TD run)

GG Oneback. Your front 7 stuffed me for most of the game. I had to use quick hitters in the running game or it was a TFL. The 2 picks you threw were the keys in the game. The last one your were probably going to score had I not got the pick. GL the rest of the season.

[Oneback]

Good game, my biggest weakness is my back four on defense and my penchant for throwing boneheaded passes from time to time, both of which cost me the game. The game was closer than the 31-13 final, I gave up a late score due to frustration but I can take nothing away from that Miami squad, if you can ever get past FSU which you may have a strong chance of doing this year the MNC is in your future.

[JeffHCross]

Less posting, more advancing!

Yeah, Prime is just in my head right now I think. I have a tough stretch the next few weeks so I just want to make it through that right now. Honestly, after this season, it will be a few years before I make it anywhere. I will have HUGE holes on my team for the next couple of seasons from the cpu recruiting for a season and a half. You seem to have a lock on the Big 10 as you lost your first 2 last season and finished number 2 at the end.

[JeffHCross]

I will have HUGE holes on my team for the next couple of seasons from the cpu recruiting for a season and a half.FYI, it was barely half a season. Texacotea left at the end of 2012, Guru joined in Week 4 of 2013, and you joined the week after he left, so you didn't lose any time there.

Hey, it makes me feel better thinking it was a year and a half. Why do you have to piss on my parade Jeff? ;)

Ahhh... you must not know Jeff too well yet. Debbie Downer he definitely is. Kills your dreams any chance he gets.

[Papa LoneStar]

lol @ E....I like to look at Jeff as the voice of reason....I like to think positive ALL the time and he gives us the negative side of the situation

[JeffHCross]

Why do you have to piss on my parade Jeff? ;)Can't help it. It's on my business card.
