Northwestern upsets #6 UCLA 42-35.

I went up 14-7 then got consecutive pick 6s off of Hundley. The first one I took over the FS and undercut a deep post route then broke 3 tackles for a TD on one of the finer plays I've ever made in NCAA. The 2nd one was a CPU INT in coverage but equally important. After those big plays for a 21 point lead going into halftime I just tried to milk the clock and protect the ball. I did just enough to hang on for a very good win

Good game as always, AF.

Oh poo poo, hell naw. I'm not going to sim anything I just thought it was funny that you and DJ were left - until I read this.

Who holds someone back on...a 200th of a credit?? I really hope they reconsider. All you should have to do is take an exit exam for some bullshit elective that falls within your field of study.

Def take care of that poo poo. We can wait.

I have to take an online course over the summer and if I get an A, I will graduate. I've been mad depressed over that poo poo and picking Blake Goddamn Bortles until they grabbed Marqiiiiiiiise and A-Rob last night. I should be free enough to play that sometime this evening or tonight.

That's ridiculous. What does that boil down to...5 test questions over your whole college education? I had a teach in high school that would give anyone who was close the next higher grade since "our education system isn't precise enough to drop someone half a grade just for missing one question".

Probably a long shot - but I am online this morning and may be available over the next hour or two. Going to hop in the shower now though, away for 20-30 minutes.

Otherwise, we should probably plan for tomorrow night or Wednesday night - I've got two games with ZSB and I'd like to knock those out tonight if possible.

edit - I'll be hanging around here a bit longer this morning. Let me know if you'll be able to play.

edit edit - Heading out for about an hour now (it's 10am Central now). Will be back though if you can play!

Great game AF.

Michigan squeaks by UCLA, 41-38. Won with a last second 50 yard field goal, on ice even. Ball barely made it through.

Zimbo, you have until 9pm CT or you're going on AP. I'm usually not this adamant(I think) but I saw both of you online last night and was really hoping the game would be played then.

Just to be clear, I'm not being vindictive or anything. It's just I'd like to get as many seasons in as possible and I was not satisfied at the overall speed of how often we advanced last season. I still plan on making exceptions for vacations, work, sickness, family events, and what not, but my primary ask is that people communicate. If not, the game is not that important enough for me to wait and I'd rather move on.

Good game Sly. Sorry I denied you a thrilling overtime by going for 2 at the end but I had some people pestering me to get offline. Still, I'll see you in the championship.

No worries, I considered it myself until I realized that my goaline D was the only D that showed up today.

USC squeaks by Washington in a nail bitter. Close one score game throughout with Wash having a slight edge by winning the toss and grabbing an early INT (on a desperate 3rd and 23 pass after a sack on a screen). We continue trading TDs and a FG each until, with 3 minutes left, Wash is forced to go for it on a 4th and 7 at midfield. I get my first QB pressure of the game when my MLB splits the A gap and grabs a sack moments after the snap. I'm already in field goal range so I'm just running the ball as much as possible when DJ breaks wide open and I am quickly trying to figure out if I want to score to duck out of bounds. Due to my indecision I hop out on the 2 inch line and then score 2 play later. Zimbo then decides to return the only KO of the game despite being 8 yards deep and takes it to my 40. He gets it to my 5 with 80 seconds left and I start burning timeouts but he manages to punch it in with 40 seconds left on 3rd down (oh man if you had to wait one more down and burned the clock until there was no time left...that would have been intense). He scores and goes for the aforementioned 2 but one of my linebackers jumps infront of the pass at the last second and grabs the INT to seal the game. Good game Zimbo. #2 on my ESPN classics, makes me wonder what is #1.

I need to figure out how to stop you. I may have you 2 games to 1 but my victories are always by the skin of my teeth and your victory was sound and assured. I was keying in on Austin and double teaming him and you'd still get a pass off to him. I feel like maybe if I could press him I might have some luck but I don't think you can press a close in TE.

Seeing as we only have one user game, and you're matched up against a pretty weak CPU Arizona team, I may ask for another advance and pause there. I'll likely be in Austin next weekend, but regardless, I'm usually understanding of vacations or lengthy trips from home.

Let's see how this (game)week plays out.

Z, you want to try for this weekend?
