Stat Box Stories Introduces the Bowl Blitz Invitational

[psuexv]

Yeah, Youtube has a library to pick from, though there are a fair number. Most aren't too recognizable but you can probably find something to suit your needs.

Cool, it now has audio

[psuexv]

I will say the video editor is pretty cool. Reminds me of iMovie.

Not to be a negative nancy or anything, but, you ran the ball with WVU WAY too much. Smith is gonna throw the ball 45 times tonight. He's gonna have to cause we can't run the ball worth a shit.

Yeah, it wasn't an entirely "sim" effort on my behalf haha. A good chunk of the rushing yardage for the starting halfback and for the team in general came on that one ridiculous 96-yard touchdown run anyway. The carries always get a bit inflated too because I don't kneel on the ball even if I have it at the end of the game; I just call HB Dives and Power O runs to keep entertained until the clock runs out if I have the final possession and the lead.

Yeah, I think your score for the WVU vs Clemson game was a little off.

Hey now, I was only 11 off of WVU's score; and I got Clemson's score exactly! Haha.

If only I'd thrown more passes; I might've ended up closer to 70.

The Bowl Blitz Invitational inches ever closer to its conclusion, with one entry today covering an early-afternoon Bowl Game competing with NFL Wild Card Playoff games:

Some bonus entries today; psuexv put together an Online Dynasty to see if he could replicate the match-up between #2 and #1 in the BCS National Championship Game. Against odds, the match-up was set, and here are his write-ups chronicling each team's season:

Alabama's Road to the BCS National Championship

LSU's Road to the BCS National Championship

Maybe a little bit. I did actually start this before the project was announced.

And finally, the inaugural Bowl Blitz Invitational draws to a close with my playthrough of the 2012 Allstate BCS National Championship Game.

Thank you so much to everyone who contributed a story to this project! I thought it would be difficult to cover all 35 Bowl Games on relatively short notice, but you all made it happen.

[steelerfan]

Nice work, Brian. And Eric, you too.
