I agree...but not everyone is a crazy as us lol

i wonder how many games SC has played this year? It always seems like were begging ax to advance lol

yea, your right lol...

gruden how do i control my emotioins right now... all i can freakin think about is playing my game lol...

"I don't agree...his numbers may not have been great, but he is a threat to take it to the house at any moment, and as a defense has to account for him every play, which helps to open up other aspects of your game..."

agreed...same goes for Bronson...usually i play a very in your face, strip the ball high turnover kind of defense. but i had to be waaaay conservative defensively bc i knew bronson would break tackles if i didnt swarm to the ball. and ever when you spread 4 wrs, i had to drop my FS Aiko Phillips to the box and be weary of the run.

exactly....you should have seen this stupid run Bronson had vs Arizona, it was similar to the run on you in our first game...we he was tackled by a couple of guys, who were stripping at him and he just keep moving forward breaking tackles for a long TD run....not very realistic as it's going down, but fun when he is on your side lol....

go jump into the lobby, and play a game with someone...let the cpu pick your plays and maybe you can find a new play you have never used, use it as a scrimmage...

yea...i remember...but i was surprised bronson FUMBLED the ball for you in the second game. Even though you recovered i was shocked...bc hes a 99 carry rating and bc i had strip to conservative!

heck no... i love my playbook lol...

ya me too....also believe i had all settings at either conservative or normal....

you can use your playbook, but by letting cpu suggest plays may open up a play you have never tried in your playbook?

ah.... i see your idea.... but i have to study lol

hell if i had a hb who had a 99 carry, 97 elusive, 99 break tackle that setting would be at aggressive all day long!

you probable right.....i don't pay attention to ratings as much as i should....and never set my settings on O or D to aggressive not sure why i don't

you should tinker with the gameplan...there are a couple that really help

yea i dont ever mess with mind until late in the game usually.

very interesting, may have to go do a little research....

Titan I PM'ed you my cell phone. This is to get in contact with me when you're going to be around tonight. Eastern time please. I'm planning to be home for 9PM to get our game in, let me know HALF AN HOUR before you'll be home so I can make arrangements to BE home when you're ready to play.

This is NOT to bug me to get me stuff in to advance, JUST to set up games don't push me mother fucker lol jk jk luv ya

no homo.

ok eastern time is 9 eastern and 8 central, that is when my exam is technically done, im sure i will finish before then though...

so right now, tentatively lets schedule to play around 930 eastern, 830 central... thats tentative... it could change, but not by a whole lot.... i would much rather wait until late when my girlfriend has gone to bed so i can go absoluetly nuts in the living room without her looking at me like a fool, btu i cant wait that long nor do i want to make th dynasty wait...

we will play as soon as possible


Coach Hickersons conference call coming up....

The Pitt Panthers look to celebrate for the 4th year in a row, while Coach Hickerson and his Blue Raiders can smell their first ever conference crown. Kickoff live from Pitt 12:30 central on ESPN! Tune into College Gameday live from Pittsburgh at 10 Saturday morning!

Coach Hickerson's pregame presser:

CH: Its gameday and we have waited for this day to come as a team and program and we are extremely excited to be in this situation this late in the year, this is it, nothing else matters, we do not have to hope another team wins, or another team loses, it is up against Pittsburgh, winner take all. We cant really ask for much more than this as a team.

Reporter: Coach what do you expect out of Pitt tonight gameplan wise?

CH: Well they are a very balanced team offensively which makes them somewhat tough to prepare for, you cant really focus too much on one thing or they will beat you with the other. The key to us stopping Pitt's offense is simply fundamentals, we gotta wrap up and make tackles when we get to the ball and stay disciplined. Defensively we think they kinda have an all or nothing mentality, which has worked wonders for them this season, if they force turnovers they win because they convert those turnovers into points.

Reporter: What will be the biggest key to winning today?

CH: Scoring more points than them.

Reporter: Let me rephrase, what will be the biggest strategical key to winning today?

CH: I mean we are in the same conference, played each other the last 3 years, Coach macc and I go way back, we know what each other does. We are not going to trick each other or anything like that, it is gonna come down to who wants it more inside.

Reporter: Logan Kilgore, made it through a season and what is he thinking as a senior quarterback right now?

CH: Logan is doing fine, pre game butterflies, but I always tell my guys those are good, if you aint nervous you aint ready. Logan has had a tremendous year for us, he has protected the ball pretty well and made some huge plays through the air for us when we needed them. In fact, i feel like his numbers have suffered due to our somewhat conservative playcalling sometimes... but for Logan his biggest key will be protecting the ball and we feel he can definitely do that.

Reporter: What role will Zac High play in the offense?

CH: Well Zac is our backup quarterback, I like to call him that isntead of wildcat quarterback because he showed he is not just a wildcat last season when Logan went down and he took over the reigns of the team. Zac does have a big impact on our running game however, when he is in the game, the defense has to account for him as well as the running back. So I am sure you will see him in there some, but really Logan Kilgore is going to have to move the offense for us to win.

Reporter: Has Zac fixed his fumbling problem?

CH: Never fielded so many questions about a backup... He doesnt havea fumbling problem, he makes pitches at the wrong time runnign the option, it is up here*points to head*, not here.*Points to hands*

Reporter: Treating this game like every other?

CH: Trying too, and I know every coach will get up here and try to tell you that every game is the same but the truth be told it isnt. You would like to think you could treat it that way but you cant, this game is bigger than others, it is for a championship. We will practice the same, hopefully go otu and execute the same, but the fact is this game has a different atmosphere around it than any other we have played in, you just have to hope your guys respond to it the right way.

CH: That's all I got time for, we are about to go eat breakfast and then we will see yall at the stadium in a couple hours. God Bless.

ax did you read my post about tomorrow? im gna be traveling to dc and wont be available. I can do the championship game tonight if we can get to it, or i can do it saturday anytime after 1pm...but i need to watch this michigan michigan st game for sure

ya i saw..i may not be in the natty game tho.. have to see how the end shakes out.. zona, gt, south car could all jump me..

Vegas has set the line Pitt is a 6.5 point favorite...the wise guys have concerns Coach Hickerson may have the troops to fired up LOL...Over/Under 51
