SCe over UT, 35-17.

The Volunteers had a second half meltdown as nothing seemed to be working for them after the opening drive of the 3rd.

Tough loss, ZSB.

Defense couldn't stop a wet rag, offense suddenly quit blocking and catching. Mostly the 3rd down defense was atrocious, had plenty of 3rd and longs that I couldn't finish on. Team def quit in the 4th, couldn't catch a break.

The other two user games have been scheduled to happen today/tomorrow, so if we haven't heard from you when those games are done, you'll get put on AP. I don't want to do that since you're undefeated and #2. If you can't play until Tues/Wed, we can wait, just need to hear from you!

Vols fall again 38-35. Threw 2 picks at really atrocious times, that cost me the game. Prb should have ended a 2 score game, got a late trash time TD to make it a 3 pt one.

USCe over Auburn with something ridiculous like 45-30. Defense was optional and my guys were dropping picks left and right. Can't wait until this team grows up.

This game with Auburn and Arky will be tricky. Wreckus, please respond with times you can play ASAP so I can try to relay them to Tyler in GroupMe - but you'll have to likely message him on XBL to get the game going (his XBL name is in the image above). With only 2 user games, we may be advancing soon (Crowe and I will possibly be playing as soon as this morning). If I haven't heard anything by Friday/Saturday, and all the CPU games are done, I'll have to set you to AP.

Time to finish out 10-2 with no chance of a division title! I'll take another eventual top 10 ranking and maybe sneak my way into a BCS game...I will grossly underachieve at all schools besides VT apparently.

Wreckus is not.

It's no more unnatural than the hold the Capn had on our dynasties before his retirement. I would have no issue with carrying 2 losses if it meant I had a chance to win the division, but that isn't the case. It's not so much about the record as it is what it means for TITLES contention. When perfection is basically required, I know that a 2nd loss is p much it for my chances to play in the SECCG. It's a rarity that we end up with division tie breakers from multiple losses.

Cap was really good, and very fun/frustrating to play against, but he was no Urban Legend. Once I upgraded to Miami I achieved a winning record against him. You on the other hand are still undefeated against me in the regular season. Literally no one has ever done that. You can't expect that across every dynasty.

I don't think not playing in the SECCG or BCSCG is a total loss. You'll still get a lot of recruits interested in your school, and keep in mind you have Tennessee and we're playing with poo poo rosters. If anything this is test of how well you can recruit. I wish I could help you there.

Sly lost to me in the NCG game after not playing in the CCG over in the Big10/Pac12, and I think he had two losses. I would've been pissed if he had beaten me, but the point still stands - anything is possible in this crazy loving game.

Wreckus, I think Dio is getting his game in today. That leaves UGA with a CPU game. Need to hear something from you so we can try to set this game up, or I'll have to put you on AP.

I think once you got to Miami he already had a child with a second on the way. When he was childless he was an absolute monster.

I think at this point across the various dynasties I've beaten everyone at least once. It took me years to notch my first win against Capn, Z and JB though

John Brown
Jul 10, 2009

Cap is a beast, Z is a beast, Sly plays beastly against me, and several of you are right there with us, and if not, on the verge. But no one is immortal (other than VT in the ACC).

I've beaten Cap several times outside of the ACC. In fact, I believe I have a winning record against him in games outside of that league, and the only reason I don't is because I started with Wake and NC State, and I was a noob. There were even a couple of times when I played him under the impression I was Biodome (before I joined the leagues) and beat him. Like, he really thought Bio was sick with the safety :lol:

Point being is no one has ever done what you're doing with VT. It's time to put that poo poo to an end.

This might be true, but you'll have to drag it from my cold dead hands brotha. My Hokies are staying strong, it's the only place I really successfully recruit as well (bizzaro given I also have Tenn and OSU).

I don't mean to sound like a bitch complaining about 2 losses, the leagues have just gotten small enough where I know the chances to make it up are slim (ITS OUT OF MY HANDS). IRL this would be a totally acceptable season, it is also about where this team probably should be, given the poo poo rosters it was gonna take a year or two for this team to develop into one strong enough to hang with the marquee programs. I got lucky to get into a shootout with LSU because this team can't stop a wet rag through the air.

I think the overall strength of our group has gone way up, I imagine if a lot of the early ncaa players came back they'd be in for a rude show of it. Even Cap at this point.

IIRC the game was pretty close but you threw some costly picks. I'd also forgotten that I was going for a streak of only throwing a single INT for the whole season and went Tyler Bray in the 4th :suicide:

One of the INTs was me trying to force it in the end zone and the other was Driskel doin Driskel things. He tossed one right to your LB or Safety when I was trying to go 15 yards behind that. It was a really tight game until the 4th and then you turned up on defense and really shut down my offense.
