[JeffHCross]

Ahhhh yeaaaa....no more bye weeks....the tough gauntlet begins....Ironic: After this week I have three bye weeks :D

Ryby, I'm flying back in tonight, but don't think I'll be ready to play until tomorrow. Tomorrow evening good for you?

[gschwendt]

Hey g, I work nights now so let me know what your schedule is, from 1p (depending on what day) - 5p I am free to play.
It would need to be tomorrow (Tuesday) and would need to kick off as close to 1pm as possible. However, if playing AT 5pm (or 4:30) is an option, then we should be able to play most any day this week.

[Kingpin32]

Kingpin want to play our game?

I should be free to play sometime today. What's good for you?

[ryby6969]

Ironic: After this week I have three bye weeks :D

Ryby, I'm flying back in tonight, but don't think I'll be ready to play until tomorrow. Tomorrow evening good for you?

What time are you thinking? I can start up until like 9 or 9:30pm est.

If 5p works best for you its good for me, it would need to be tomorrow however as I have a meeting today at 4.

Yeah, let's go for 5pm tomorrow.

No QB stats? ;)

[Papa LoneStar]

11-17 208 yards 1 TD 0 INT

[Escobar]

I'll be back home from practice around 9pm

[Kingpin32]

I'll be back home from practice around 9pm
I may be around, but it could be a bit later in the night.

[JeffHCross]

What time are you thinking? I can start up until like 9 or 9:30pm est.I usually get home by 7 and have eaten by 730 or 8. So anytime in there would probably be good. I can start as late as 10, so 9/930 would be fine as a cutoff.

[ryby6969]

Sounds good, I will check in here later in the evening.

[texacotea]

4 of the next 5 on the road as well as 4 of the next 5 user games. Should be a fun test that is for sure.

[Papa LoneStar]

That will definitely be a fun 4 week stretch....3 road games....ouch

[nykia31]

2 tune up games down, one more to go, before a conference showdown with Texas.

Offense is clicking along, Everet Golson doing a decent job as a one posession per half change of pace QB, and the O and D seem to clicking nicely.

[psuexv]

Looks like we just need to get the user games done.

Cool

[Papa LoneStar]

Great timing....lining up perfectly to when I'll want to switch off USA/Angola b-ball :D

[Escobar]

Kingpin when can you play tonight. I should get back home from practice around 9:30

[ryby6969]

Ready whenever you are Jeff.

[JeffHCross]

Ready whenever you are Jeff.Just finished dinner here. I'll be on shortly.

[ryby6969]

Froze up, getting back on.

[JeffHCross]

Froze up, getting back on.Same for me. Took me longer to realize it was completely frozen, I guess.

[Oneback]

Texas takes the 37-16 win in a huge match-up between undefeated teams. Coach Gillett stated after the game, "we had one focus on defense and that was to stop #16". Knowing that if Denard got rolling it'd be a long night for the Texas defenders the Texas defense left their linebackers on the field with one command - stop the running game! The did just that limiting the vaunted Michigan rushing attack to 101 yards on 34 carries, without the running game to lean on the Wolverine passing game was left to throw into the teeth of the Texas defense.

Great game g and good luck the rest of the season.

[Kingpin32]

Kingpin when can you play tonight. I should get back home from practice around 9:30
I should be here to play around then. I'll most likely be online already around that time.

[ryby6969]

Holy Hell, Great game Jeff. I was cussing the whole game as I just knew for sure I would lose.

Alabama scores 21 second half points, including 14 in the final 2:51 to beat FSU 28-23. Bama was hampered in the first half by turnovers, including 3 int's by QB AJ McCarron, but battled back when it mattered most. McCarron ended up going 22 of 30 for 265 yards and 2 TD's to help bring the Tide back.



On a side note, not sure what is going on but my D cannot tackle or catch for some reason. Thompson was just bouncing and spinning off my defenders all game and I had a couple easy picks in which they just dropped it, including on that I though would cost me the game with a little over a minute left. I even had tackling on Conservative and that did not help.

[JeffHCross]

TALLAHASSEE, FL (AP) -- When Florida State hired Coach Jeff HCross, they willingly chose to overlook his uncanny ability to turn an UPSET ALERT into a deflating loss.

And it came back to bite them.

Florida State led 23-7 late in the 3rd quarter, but gave up 21 unanswered points for the remainder of the game, suffering a 28-23 loss to the Crimson Tide in Tuscaloosa. A 13/19 first half for EJ Manuel gave way to a 3-9 second half, including several passes that hit Alabama defenders in the hands. One of the completions came with :04 remaining in the contest, giving Florida State a shot, with no time-outs, from the 21-yard line. But the Seminoles weren't on the same page with their playcall, and Manuel's pass attempt sailed out of the end zone. Ignoring the desperation 53-yard completion, the Seminoles only managed 74 yards in the second half.


including on that I though would cost me the game with a little over a minute left.I call it karma since that ball had no business being thrown there anyway :D

Seems to fit the FSU/Bama game on multiple levels.

[Papa LoneStar]

ouch

[gschwendt]

Here's the Michigan vs Texas full game for anyone that missed the stream.

[Escobar]

Kingpin I sent you a PSN message

[psusnoop]

Thanks I did miss it, glad u put it up :D

[gschwendt]

Looks like Kingpin & Escobar are both online playing NCAA13 so hopefully we'll be able to advance tonight. I'm itching to advance since SBCOL is stuck at the moment.

[Kingpin32]

Horrible defense. Turrible just turrible.

[JeffHCross]

Holy Hell, Great game Jeff. I was cussing the whole game as I just knew for sure I would lose. The fact that you had 53 yards rushing with AJ, even though I got six sacks says a ton. Pretty much says that if I'd been better at spying, I would have won the game. Perhaps even easily (unless you had found some other hole in my defense to exploit :D)

Your corners were all over my WR's so it was my only option a number of times. I see I need a big time WR soon! Sorry man, was not ignoring your text, phone was in the other room as I did not have your number so I felt I did not need it. :D I went straight to bed afterward because I have a long day today.

[Oneback]

Speaking of big receivers, I played a random using FSU today and that 6'6'' receiver is a pain to stop. I've been thinking the same - I need a big RZ threat.

[psusnoop]

Anyone else notice that the scoring summary for the Michigan vs Texas game is not correct?

For the safety it gave Michigan the 2 points instead of Texas.

Yeah for some reason it screws up Safeties.

I did notice that, another thing I wearing my away whites (changed pre-game) and g was wearing the home blues on my console, whereas you can see in the video that wasn't the case on g's console.

[JeffHCross]

Your corners were all over my WR's so it was my only option a number of times.Oh, I know. I didn't blame you at all. Just couldn't figure out a way to stop it until late in the game when I started dropping my DE. If I'd been smart I would have switched to the Nickel 3-3-5 so I would have a free LB to Spy. Or the Dime 3-2-6.

Sorry man, was not ignoring your text, phone was in the other room as I did not have your number so I felt I did not need it. :D I went straight to bed afterward because I have a long day today.Haha, no problem. I'm just glad I had the right number!

Speaking of big receivers, I played a random using FSU today and that 6'6'' receiver is a pain to stop.If only I could figure out how to use him properly. Sigh. The RZ is my biggest problem, passing wise.

I did notice that, another thing I wearing my away whites (changed pre-game) and g was wearing the home blues on my console, whereas you can see in the video that wasn't the case on g's console.That's a .... slightly discouraging ... bug.

[Papa LoneStar]

That goes back to NCAA 11....I used to wear all-white in all my games with Texas, but when I see my opponent's pics....it shows me in orange at home.

I'm the same way, love the storm trooper look.

[JeffHCross]

By contrast, I hate the all whites. Need some palette variety.

[Papa LoneStar]

I'm using LSU's 2011 pro combats....all white uniforms with white helmet :hump:
