NCSU over BC 27-24 in a close game. Ultimately it came down to a late interception by BC to seal the game for me. GG Texas, that was a tight game!

There is also no way this game lives up to any of our prior matches. Last year's regular season game is the high point and will remain so I assume until they kill the servers.

I'm sorry dude but these thunderstorms are too serious. Big strike blipped my power here, so I think we will need to try another day. Probably Sunday. Which is annoying as poo poo as we played 4 quarters of stalemated football both with exciting plays. 3rd time will have to be the charm later.

Gonna try and buy a car. As a car guy the Corolla I currently drive really does none of the things I want my car to do so it's about time to reuse the capital from my last nice car on a new foolish vehicle. Basically just a day trip north, but I'll prb be up in the area again in August and perhaps we can connect and rock out a game or two IRL. CRAZY THOUGHTS.

Well I drive a Dodge Stratus so there's that.

On another note, why are you so good with VT? I had a 14pt lead midway through the 2nd quarter and you were just about to tie it up before we DC'ed. You should know better than to send me those "it's over" messages before the game ends.

In that first game, my guys dropped like 3 or 4 passes in a row, I threw that ugly pick where I wanted it to go deep and my QB threw a bullet and then I dunno felt like my squad wasn't really ready. That second game was a bit more even. Usually our games swing, but once I'm down 2 scores that tends to be about it. I also was incapable in either of those games of getting a solid goal line stop on 3rd or 4th down. I was really surprised and annoyed that both our games DC'd but those thunderstorms were crazy here last night internet just wasn't cooperating.

I'm good with VT I largely think because I have the secondary players to be aggressive with the front seven and not be ruined by it. Really none of my other teams have that ability to play Michigan State like defense. I also guess at this point I feel confident about the strength of the roster to keep at my core game plan even down 2 scores with VT where I don't as much with my other teams.

I also want to make clear; my expectations for cars are totally insane and different than most any normal persons.

You actually came back from 14pts in the first game. I started off red hot and drove down the field on my first two drives. Then somehow you made a crazy comeback with a huge run for a TD.

The second game is where you got that fumble-return for a TD and went up first. That game I felt more pressured and Duke was bottled up a bit better. Those two attempts were so draining so I expect this third game to be an even longer one.

Coleman is a great change of pace back, he's got that pop once he's in the open field to outrun everyone. If only he was that good irl...

First game, I got down 14 after the pick, but got that really short punt and then almost tied it on the goal line before it DC'd. Our games are always good, just always very tense. This third one will be epic or an even bigger let down, I dunno.

As a car guy wouldn't you love a (gently) used Honda Fit. It's only a 10 hour drive away.

So many things went wrong:

-my QB threw at the back of someone's helmet during a 4th & Goal attempt
-After forcing a 3 and out on the ensuing Hokie drive, my punt returner ran away from the ball which forced a touchback instead of receiving at the 40ish
-I got stopped during two drives that ended within 5yds of the end zone
-my Oline got man-handled all day
-my WRs couldn't get open
-I got absolutely no pressure on defense
-and last but not least, the Hokies came to play

I guess I'll be looking forward to next year now. All of you might as well not even play your game against ZSB. No one is going to stop him.

It all came together for my Hokies today. Just turned into one of those games where in the 2nd half nothing goes right for JB. 2 red zone possessions that netted no points, 4 INTs to kill long drives, and my oline knocked defenders on their asses all game long. After the way I was manhandled in last years NCG by you it felt good to ensure I won't have to see you in a repeat down the line. Basically have the division locked up again.

That punt he's talking about would have been recorded as a 97 yard punt, went from the 3 to just inside the pylon. That one is gonna help his net punting average a lot haha. Guess that's after the TB a 77 yard punt!

2 user games left for me to close out a 3rd straight undefeated regular season.

I'm not sure where Wreckus is, but I'd like to wait on him since it's a deciding game for the division.

Hey AF, looks like I JUST missed you. Got home, put stuff away, then logged on and it said you logged off 3 minutes ago. Bummer!

I have the Carousel game set for 9:30pm Eastern, if you could play earlier than that, that would be best - I am exhausted after driving back from Connecticut. Otherwise, tomorrow evening should be fine for me.
