You won enough games to earn it, plain and simple. Maybe you'll get your shot at revenge?

Also Piper: Clearly this is the only NCAA Dynasty you should stay in...

Advanced, this is a big week in the Coastal. Division winner decided right here right now.

UNC vs Miami
VT vs GT

Wackiest possible outcome is Miami beating UNC, GT beating VT and we have a 3 way tie at 5-2 in conference to contend with. UNC controls their own destiny, Hokies need a UNC loss and a victory, and Miami needs to beat UNC and hope for a GT victory to own the tie breaker for the ACCCG.

This week we find out the other half of the equation which is usually long since decided.

Cletus - I'll be around most of Friday day, and I could do Tuesday or Wednesday night later evening.

I am out of town in Baton Rouge from Thurs to Tues.

What time tonight/tomorrow can you play? I'm also home today during the day if you happen to be around, and would be morning of Thurs also.

Let's see if I can get upset #2 this season!

You're not upsetting these Hokies, this team is so much better than my other teams its almost comical.

Wednesday at like 11 CT work?

e: May have a guest about my place tonight in which case who knows if I can play. No worries we can aim for after you get back. I don't play in the mornings as every time I do I lose in a blowout.

Otherwise, we can try to do it Tues/Wed night next week. I get back Tues afternoon so that night would be iffy, but might work out.

I'm going to feel real lovely if I can't keep this ACCCG close because I've thrown wayyyy too many INTs and leaned too heavily on my run game this season. If I'd cut down on the INTs, I'd have looked like a very balanced team, but instead I look turnover prone. I'm R2A

Welcome to the OVal Office
Riding high after their upset over FSU, BC rolls into Death Valley and pulls out a squeaker in OT 42-35.

The Golden Eagles drove down the field with 1 minute remaining in the game and scored with 4 seconds left to tie the game at 35 all. After scoring on the opening drive of OT, BC forced a pick in the end zone to end the game.

OK ZSB - we'll have to wait until I get back. I know I probably don't have much of a shot, but my QB is technically still in the Heisman race and I would like to see your team on the field!

Tuesday night is fine by me, and is actually the only time I can play since Formula 1 is Halloween weekend and I've got a bunch of guests arriving starting on Wednesday.

If you can go in the next 20 minutes I should be able to play. Otherwise how about Sunday at 10AM eastern?

edit: and for clarity I was referring to your win over me earlier this season Cletus which is a primary reason that this game matters. I think with a loss I'm done for unless the game really screws JB in the rankings but a win from you would be nice insurance?

Miami over UNC in a modest-scoring snow game, 21-18. Defense was good for both sides throughout the game. For the first time in forever I got 3 sacks against a goon - I see why you guys use man coverage so often.

What time works for you? I just got home. I've got a user Madden game that I need to knock out tonight too, so just want to make sure I don't end up with you and my Madden opponent wanting to play at the same time.

Got so much poo poo to do man, ugh I was gonna say later tonight is best, but you've also been travelling. And I'm basically tied up until next Monday with guests and Formula 1 this weekend. Tough spot, but maybe at like 11 CT? If not I dunno man, this game is too important for a sim, but I'd hate to have us stalled for 2+ weeks (although I'll do that if that's how it has to be!).

Possibly Thursday morning might work?

11 CT would be a little tough for me, but MIGHT work. I can try. My Madden game actually is off for tonight now. If you can make it any earlier the chances I'll be around are higher.

Thursday morning, it'd have to be like 7am CT so that we'd be done before I head into work, not sure if that would work for you.

Hokies find themselves to clinch the division with a 49-17 win over GT. Defense gave up yards and a few scores in the 2nd half, but snagged 5 turnovers which helped me build a 35-3 lead at the half. Not sure where the sticky fingers were all season, but they came through to take a bunch of passes away here at the end.

This meat grinder will not be stopped.

Yeah, you definitely have a tough team. Some of those turnovers were just bad passes because you were getting so much pressure on me, but I swear on one of them I had my guy wide open for a TD and your defender jumped so loving high to pick it off I was just amazed. You got another one on the sideline that I really wasn't expecting either. You stifled my offense more than anyone else has, even if I was able to get some garbage time points.

Was hoping to catch you off guard with that onsides kick to start the 2nd half but you audibled too quickly for me and I didn't want to burn a TO. :) With the way you were driving down the field though, an onsides kick every time wouldn't have been the worst idea for me.

GG! Glad I got to at least give it a try against your squad.

You got the later onside kick which was just silly, I have never once recovered one. Those 2nd half INTs were a bit crazy. The first tall leap I think if you'd pressed it for a deep lob you'd have been golden cause the CB was completely out of position, but it seemed like the button press turned into a bullet for a comeback maybe? Either way huge ups to snag it, the second one was like a crazy toe tapping sideline thing I wasn't expecting. Usually that just gets ruled OoB, but I was fine with taking it.

Had such trouble stopping the out route, but thankfully the pressure was enough to not let you hit that all day long. And yeah lots of tough passes under pressure, I think once you have a QB with some accuracy you'll be more dangerous (and some better D line). It's tough trying to play GT as a true triple option group.

Yeah, that one tall leaping INT, I think if I had just put a little more touch on it, it would have worked out - but I saw your CB way out of position and just immediately went for it. It's tough to trust lobs with the low accuracy - and especially against a team with more speed on defense than I probably have on offense. The 2nd one I briefly considered challenging but your defender earned it. :)

Looks like somehow even without getting any XP, I've managed a somewhat decent recruiting class - so hopefully things are looking up.
