I SAID WE'RE NOT GONNA BE FUCKING SUCK THIS YEAR!!!

I'm not a lvl 50 coach because I chose to come back after being asked to do so by multiple people.

That was a random comment.

I'm just saying you are grumpy about 1 down year with 2 losses, you can't quit in your heart of hearts, so stop threatening to leave us all the time man. We've colluded on recruits, I've offered to boost stats for you to make up for the XP Bug (open to all our affected players). I'm just kinda tired of seeing you say "Well this team isn't good enough so I quit" when there are guys like Wreckus rocking BC which is at a way worse advantage even with the coach XP. I guess man keep playing, I know it kinda sucks with how one sided the coastal has been this year (I've clearly got some good stuff rolling there), but next season which we are almost to we will play round robin against everyone.

At the end of the day you're more successful than most of the guys we play with even in here (2 national titles, you own 1/3rd of the potential titles in this league). So I don't see why the fact that you lost to Dio is like your nail in the coffin.

Didn't intend to come off as bitchy. If there were any replays you would see that on 2 of the picks I threw my WR/TE beat their guy with an out/slant route, but my QB's arm is so weak that the defenders recovered and intercepted the ball. On another play I got picked off in the end zone because my QB sucks at throwing bullets in tight spaces. There were also several plays where Dio's defenders busted up run plays like Clowney.

From a defensive standpoint, Dio simply had to run commit and force me to throw on long downs or tight spaces to stop my offense. Also, I was running for my life on nearly every pass play because the left side of my oline is laughable, and he was user-rushing from the right. All this with having an updated playbook to cater to running the ball. I was actually being literal with that initial post-game comment.

Had I remembered that the bug is random I would've asked for the PW so I could quit and rejoin repeatedly until it worked correctly. Even with the accommodations that you guys have made in recruiting I would've ended up with maybe 4 or 5 guys rated 74 or higher, and that's assuming no EA bullshit happens in the last few weeks. I'm too competitive to be okay with that.

Of course I'd stick it out for as long as I can if I could get the bug to go away. I just completely forgot about that. More times than not it's fun losing to you.

I will straight up bring your Oline into the 80s, I'll even make that offer to anyone in this dynasty moving into next season. Your QB is a Soph or some such he'll get a better arm, my first season with the Vols was straight loving brutal for that exact same reason, just couldn't push the ball there.

The bug is ruinious, but EA doesn't give a poo poo so here we are. I will basically make whatever accommodations required to keep this thing afloat haha.

No lie, Dio is now very good at using run commit and making it happen. I've never counted on it except at the goal line or 4th and shorts, but poo poo he stones me so often with that. Dio and cletus throw some really obscure defensive formations out there.

Totally missed my double post whoops.

I really just want the poo poo to work. If you can figure out the PW I'll continue to rejoin and drop on a weekly basis until it does. I'll even start with switching to Louisville. I'm okay with losing as long as I know I did so with everything in my control.

Now a few years ago I was a sourpuss because I didn't understand what it took to build a contender in this game haha.

And Dio, you've gotten better but be careful with run commit. Play-action will be the death of you.

I've had the bug in this dynasty since I started and unless people have backed off recruits without me asking just to be nice, or unless ZSB has done anything behind-the-scenes that I don't know about (we had talked about boosting some of my guys once when I felt like the bug was holding me back too much recruiting-wise, but I never followed up on it), I'm just cruising along, bout to upset UNC for the second time in this dynasty and make my way to the conference championship here for the first time.

You won't believe this one crazy hack I found for recruiting..

I shall consider your request, although honestly I don't think I'll catch you on either one. I've been behind and my visits were in early so I have little hope of gaining. If we are still into it going into the off season I'll put my points elsewhere.

The scary thing is I only have 10% scouting done for each of them, I haven't been able to afford scouting them more yet. If one of them is like some massive gem I wouldn't expect you to just drop that one for me, but thanks for your consideration. :)

Remember Josh Griffin and Zac Coker - GT NEEDS BALLERS. BALLERS = YOU.

If you don't think you'll catch me on one, I would appreciate you backing off completely though - I think I could free up some recruiting points on at least one of them where it's just you and me and then a big gap, which would be helpful for things like the aforementioned scouting. :) I can't let up at all if you're on them since you gain 200 each week on me - even if the visits for me are still coming, that's maybe 2-3 weeks of additional recruiting points on your end that would probably cover it. No biggie though. I think they know they are ballers.

e: Cletus the ATH is yours as I have a player of a similar ilk already committed that I like better. The C I'm not prepared to give up on yet, as OLINE of a decent caliber are hard to come by.

Thanks dude! These points are tough to come by, and 10% scouting is almost useless. :)

UNC blanks Clemson. Cap'n must have left his team with a pass heavy AI, unfortunate as I couldn't reach my bonus goals for visiting D-line men. Oh well.

Nebraska and Clemson lost which may allow someone to back into the NCG.

I think that means we're all r2a.

I was looking over my roster this morning (because I'm weird and dumb irl) and was kind of surprised at how many players I have that aren't from NC. I know part of that is the stranglehold that the ACC has on the Carolinas, but I found it interesting. I only had 4 starters from NC and 3 from SC and weirdly, two starters from IN.

QB: 1/4 from NC/SC
HB: 3/6 from NC/SC
FB: 0/2 from NC/SC
WR: 1/8 from NC/SC
TE: 0/3 from NC/SC
OT: 2/5 from NC/SC
OG: 1/3 from NC/SC
C: 1/2 from NC/SC
DE: 3/6 from NC/SC
DT: 2/6 from NC/SC
OLB: 1/6 from NC/SC
MLB: 0/3 from NC/SC
CB: 1/7 from NC/SC
FS: 0/3 from NC/SC
SS: 0/3 from NC/SC
K/P: 2/2 from FL

ZSB, thanks for putting up with my poo poo but I need to drop. Some recent life happenings require that I have more time, so by process of elimination I'm dropping for the ACC.

Hopefully someone dethrones you before this league ends.

I doubt it, but once we go round robin the chances will certainly increase.
