*ahem* I won the UCLA-USC game. Still nice write up. A----- would read again. Z, I'm good most the weekend, perhaps tonight if the ACC game doesn't happen. Post when you'd like to go.

Just realized your post did not indicate evening. Honestly 10 or 11 AM central would work best so let me know if you can support that, otherwise I'll have to ask the wife when I can play this evening.

Well I was going to not try to hard for the Heisman this year but then DJ knocked out my starting running back for the next three weeks on the first play from scrimmage. Morgan, who won the Heisman last year, is his backup and went off against a user for 200+ yards and 3 scores and he did so again against Oregon St. So looks like I may have to go all Archie Manning on this dynasty. USC r2a.

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".

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.

E: Sly is gonna boast the best rated team for the remainder of this dynasty's existence.

Too bad the ratings stop at 99 :-). I'd I get some nice recruits this week? USC vastly improves the second year just by redshirting everyone the first season.

Oh well... It's not a conference game.

That's exactly what I was thinking as you destroyed me early in the game. It was suffocating, like playing JB or Z in season 1 of the ACC. That fumble was definitely the turning point. It seemed like before that the CPU was trying to give you the game and afterwards it wanted to give it to me.

Well, at least you won the PAC before you went out. Very impressive especially with Sly playing out of his mind in this league.

I've had 3 losses in this league so far...just can't let it go can you. Well someone else needs to come to the PAC-12. In about two weeks I'm moving to Italy and won't have access to my xbox for 2 months. Once I do get it...I guess it will be up to the league if people think they could deal with me being in such a different time zone.

USC over UCLA 34-28. I gave myself what I thought was a comfortable 17 point lead before AF brings it to within 6 after a pick and a FG. Seemed like my Oline just dominated the whole game as my "bad" runs were 3 yards. In retrospect I should have gone for it on that 4&1 instead of kicking the FG as being up by 6 isn't much better than 3 late in the game (I'd rather encourage you to kick a FG than force you to score when you are throwing the ball well). GG AfterFather. Having the whole season be moot basically before this game is quite anxiety provoking.

That's ok from my end, we are onto championship week next right? When do you want to go Zimbo? Sometime midafternoon works on Sunday or Saturday unless you are up super late Afterfather style. I may get some more times to play in the morning and midday if we decide not to go anywhere. I'll let you know.

Dishonorable Mention: #1 G-Tech vs #2 ULL for the BCSNC...

Somewhere virtual Boise is rolling over in their grave.

So I'm still stuck in hotel with crappy internet for the forseeable future Dio. I'd like to the give the game a try if we can and see if we have same problems that Z and I did. I could start midday absolutely NLT 3PM Eastern or I could give it a go at 1030PM Eastern. I'd almost prefer the late night game as in the wee hours here, I hear the internet is better but I'd be annoyed if I woke up to play a game and it still doesn't work. Let me know your thoughts Dio.

The score does not really bely how much sly was in control the whole game. I had a lot of trouble moving against his defense and then his TE and Marqise Lee were just uncoverable. If I committed my safety to anything up giving help over the top Lee would break free. Lots of weapons there, but that secondary was truly frightening. My top two receivers never got separation the whole game

It's actually a little funny, that period where my defence was truly dominant and you threw a few picks was when I started calling regular Cover 2 and Cover1 man covereage. No blitzing or anything goofy. I don't watch my secondary when I'm on D so I can't speak to your seperation. Lee is nice to have, he either gets and immediate release or never will so I can ignore him and when you'd then move the safety up to the line...it was a good day. I've been lucky this season here and in the ACC with my two TE, both were (probably) the best in the league and had speed in the 80s but running ability like a running back. Corso's comment about too fast for LBs and too big for CBs was written for them. They shall be missed :salute:.

Good luck next season y'all. I don't think I'll get all 22 starters above 90 OVR but it will be close. I will be the biggest limiting factor to this team's greatness. Oh and Marquis Lee is just silly, right now he'd be an 85 OVR half back.

I tried posting a go by in the ACC thread but based on everyone's replies it seems like we all do the same thing. I dump all my coach points into recruiting (other than antifreeze since I so depend on last second FGs) but otherwise...

Edit : I think I never mentioned pipeline States. I hit hard to establish those in the three big football States (TX, CA, FL). Not only are the bonus points nice but I feel like you get more recruits interested in you at the beginning of the season which is big. I may care too much about them: I left two scrubs on my team just so I'd keep Texas as a pipeline state.
