I go after the right tight ends, at least for the Michigan playbook specifically.

He's averaging 17 yards per reception. He da best.



gently caress if i know when i havet had power for over a day with no eta on restoration.

The sim has probably loosend my chokehold on the top 5 total tacklers and being on top of passing yards :mad:

Your team's roster improvement has been top of mind lately. I've been considering ending this league and starting a Big XII, but only if you stick it out until the end. I'd hate to reset for one player and then Madden steals you away. Also, I want to see if I can truly change your ratings at any point.

We'll address this in the upcoming offseason. For now, you're going on AP. Dio and Sly, since we advanced Saturday morning I'm going to give you until Thursday morning.

Sorry that we couldn't play for yet another season here, I know it would have been a good one. Unfortunately your CPU threw a really bad pick and was mostly held to field goals, but there were some strong plays and I know your defense would have done better in your control.

Michigan over UCLA, 38-13.

After UCLA's opening drive resulted in a punt, Michigan's very first play was a 63 yard passing TD to JB's favorite, Mackey, which broke the single-season receiving record. No funny business on it, just a wide open target and he broke one tackle to go all the way down the field. Mackey is Dick Butt on steroids.

loving :laffo: at UL Monroe. I usered D the whole game and picked off their QB 10 times, 3 for scores. I dropped 4 more, which led to 3 punts. Is that maybe a record? I hope so.

The first half I spent with my QB Robinson on the ground and injured because my pass blocking is poo poo, until I remembered my scheme and then went ham. Too much Madden 16 I guess.

UCLA R2A, 84-7.

Vision is blurry and I'm photophobic a bit but at least the pain is gone. It's to the point I can now log on and recruit. Not sure how my vision will affect my competitiveness in games but if I have a down season in both leagues because of it so be it.

Saturday I could probably do 9:15/9:30am CT. Sunday morning is slightly more flexible with 9-11am CT being open. Either way we'd need to move quickly.

At this rate it looks like we'll be advancing Sunday morning. ZSB, you're probably better off with logging on and trying to catch him.

Cletus, I'm not 100% sure but I think we're up next. Could you play Sunday around 10:30am CT, or in between the late games and SNF?

Dubious, I'll be on at 10:30. My internet can be sketchy sometimes so if we end up with lag I'll throw myself on AP and let you finish it out. Cletus and I played a few weeks ago with no issues around the same time of day so I think we will be ok

Yep, my wife is out of town until Sunday night, and Sunday morning I ain't got no poo poo to do. And LSU/Auburn is a day game (boooo, they should have to play us at night in Death Valley motherfuckers) so I should be awake before then for sure.

UCLA over MSU 27-14. UCLA has a huge defensive day and shut down the MSU air game with a strong performance, and rode Senior HB Poole to a 5.1 ypc effort for the win.
