Building A Legend: The Coach Red Story

Career will be updated later today. Had a tough week at work.

It's all good man. I've been the same way. Tons of things going on since Thursday morning. Haven't even had the chance to turn my XBox on a single second since my last update in my dynasty.

And nice win against Miami. That was a heck of a comeback. Great job.

Yeah, sometimes life sucks like that:). And I still can't believe that comeback. Now for part 2 of my confusing season.

They whooped our ass. We're going to have a long look at who wants to give it 100% and who should be looking into other hobbies in life, thats for certain...

Damn. Sorry to see that final after watching teh Army game. That's a horrible way to follow up after the great comeback against Miami. :( Hopefully you can put a whooping on Kent State and take out the frustrations from that Army loss on them.

Yeah I can't believe that letdown. I played the game too soon after the Miami game or something. I also gave up on the run early and lost faith once I realized my defense was struggling against the option. Most of my 2nd half plays were from the 'Ask Coach' option as I was so frustrated about my team's play. Guess the ol' ball coach couldn't do any better :). Luckily, I beat Kent State and will give my kids a shot at a title.

Can't wait to see the video. Looks like you're going to have a fight on your hands, but I think the Owls can pull it out.

I sure hope so but ever since I switched to my Set 2 sliders every game has been a fight. As a coach I'm playing to win and I can't let my 'worry' show on my face :). The game will be played tonight. With my youth league conditioning kicking off tomorrow it might be a day or two before its uploaded.

Thinking about putting the videos away for awhile so I can speed this up a bit and pick it up once I become a HC so I can record both sides of the ball. Thinking...

Might not be a bad idea. Wouldn't want you to get bogged down because of it.

Ehh, forget that thought. I have something special, like me doing a voice over of my videos, planned for the near future. Just working out the kinks to my microphone.

Coach's Quote:

"We had a great year. We can't let this loss hold us down for long. We know what it takes to get here. And now we know what its going to take to win. We still have a bowl game to prove we were better than what we just showed today. I tip my hats to NIU, they deserved it but we'll be back. Bet the house on that..."

Really like that #2 UCF was upset by un-ranked Houston right before their shot at glory haha.

Do you strictly sim to next change of possession for offense or R1 to watch your defense?
