I really wish ZSB had missed that freaking 52-yard FG that put me away.

I make sure to recruit kickers/punters so I never have to worry about being stuck with a poo poo place kicker. Always need someone with good kick power. If FGs are needed to win, I make sure I'm prepared.

This is the only team I truly care about, the other dynasties are just gravy (as evidenced by my perpetual under achievement in them).

UNC over duke and ready to go.

I never complimented your insane stutter step against me JB. I don't think that play went for a TD but it gave you 30 more yards along the sideline. I can never get that juke to work but you embarrassed me on that play.

Thanks, it's my go-to. I would argue that Cletus is harder to tackle in the open field. He does some crazy combos that look like a 5 year-old mashing buttons, but somehow they're coordinated and effective.

Haha you may have beaten me more but he knew how to get under my skin.

drat I remember being so pissed every time we played because I'd be so close to pulling an upset as Wake or NC State - only to have him bust a 60 yard TD run from 3 broken tackles. And then he'd have the nerve to brag about beating me with the clearly better team haha.

It was only when I got Miami could I end his tyranny.

I do feel like I pull off successful jukes more often than anyone I ever play against. I am definitely much better running the ball than throwing it for sure, so I have more practice in the running game. The problem for me (especially against most of you) is getting into enough open space to pull them off.

This is likely the best run I've ever had (sorry Dio):

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n_pyWcdh9YA

You can see where I am trying to lead both my blocker and the defender in a direction and wait until the last moment to pull off the move. And that spin move that I had to recover from - I wish I could say I have runs like that more often than not. What a beautiful return. :)

Hokies don't exactly dominate the game, but do dominate the score board 35-7 winning their 3rd straight ACC title, securing the 4th straight season with 12 wins, and making good on those high preseason rankings. Stats will look kinda close, I didn't choose to pass much, but the D got sticky fingers and left NCSU with a 1-5 ratio of converting scores in the red zone (2 picks, 1 stop on downs, 1 missed FG, late TD) which really sunk them. An earlier pick 6 before the half didn't help either. I was largely stymied on offense save for QB Parsons doing his thang (which was again reasonably silly), but cranked out more yards in the 2nd half to burn away clock.

Defense was good this time man, just sort of the usual for our VT/NCSU games. That QB of yours is almost as dangerous as mine.

Bowl Week: This is the first season the ACC has not placed 2 teams in BCS bowls or teams in the NCG game since we started the dynasty.

Orange Bowl: #25 UCF vs #3 VT
Chick Fila Bowl: #7 Miami vs Tennessee
Russell Athletic Bowl: #10 UNC vs USF
Sun Bowl: #12 NC State vs Oregon State
Music City Bowl: #21 Boston College vs Mississippi State
Advocare V100 Bowl: #20 GT vs Arkansas State
Military Bowl: South Carolina vs Buffalo

Y'all got through the weekend. Then it's the offseason while we prepare for S5. To Boldly Go Where No Dynasty Has Gone Before....

You played a great game and that QB of yours is a bitch to stop. I'd bottle him up one play and then he'd bust out a 40 yarder the next.

The game is legit built upon the trenches Oline, Dline, they make all the difference (kinda like IRL football one of the things i appreciate most about this iteration). I feel for anyone that's been having trouble recruiting them (myself on the Oline as well) because nothing derails a loaded skill position team faster than dudes that can't block for poo poo.

Things of the Year
Coach of the Year - Texas A. Wreckus for making BC competitive and ranked.
OPOTY/DPOTY - I will listen to nominations because otherwise I dunno I'd just pick coastal guys (Parsons for powering me to the ACC Title, UNC D cause drat), but that seems boring so let's have some internet chat about it.

The Heisman winner wasn't an All American and is only the 2nd Team All ACC QB. This game is weird sometimes.

Also, same thing happened here ZSB where I got a new OC and his points have already been chosen for him. I'd like to fix that if possible.
