k, thanks will give it a try, and pray it works....

well Arizona is gonna start off 0-1....thanks to Texas..

This game was (excuse my language) but fucking ridiculous. I was stopped 4 times on 4th and 1 in their territory. My oline
and dline got absolutely abused....

got down 21-0 made it back to 28-21...get a turnover, then get stopped again on 4th and inches..

one play later they run a WR screen, breaks 3-4 tackles goes in from 60 yards out...

I mean just dumb...

So this is just the way I want to start defending my National Title...I guess those 5* recruits do make a difference, because their level of play was absolutely insane...

did i mention their D-line intercepted two of my passes

and I had -19 rushing yards LMAO

Boondock illy is a rival game. And fresno is a revenge game from the skip into the national chap again. And ur request couldn't happen because of scheduling.I play the number one team in the country I have mtsu and more user games against 9's in the big twelve. My schedule is always as tough as I can make it. And I don't lose to the cpu ever so really does it matter.. Next time asked what happened don't accuse me of trying to take the easy route.

Georgia Tech kicked the 2013 season off with a TOUGH out of conference game against the #13 ranked Alabama. A Rematch from last years battle which was also in Tuscaloosa was one of the bigger opening weekend games. The game started out as a defensive battle for a majority of the first quarter until Senior Strong Safety, Lamar Love picked off Alabama QB Philip Simms, giving Georgia Tech prime field position and a ton of momentum.

Most analyst believed the strength of this years Georgia Tech team would lie within the arm of their Heisman candidate Anthony Manning. After trying to air it out with moderate success, Coach Boone decided to turn to his run game; simply put -- it paid off. Georgia Tech's two headed monster at tailback ran all over the highly touted Alabama defense to the tune of 338 yards. Senior All American running back Deon Hill ran for 74 yards and punched in two touchdowns, but it was Tech's backup who shined tonight.

The surprise of the night was certainly Tech's junior running back Marcus Hogan who ran for 255 yards and 4 TD's and also caught another touchdown pass. Coach Boone however did not seem surprised by his performance. "Marcus actually began camp listed as the #4 running back on our Depth Chart, but he busted his ass and will definitely see some caries this season. He had a great spring. He's one of the hardest working kids on the team and tonight it really showed."

Georgia Tech's starting QB, Anthony Manning (12-15 124 yards) was injured late in the second quarter, but returned to throw for a touchdown late in the game and seal the win.

Georgia Tech will return home to play the #24 ranked BYU team before they travel to Blacksburg for another big test against Virginia Tech.

its kind of annoying cuz that was the only game i asked for and i had to play you at your field last year, especially when we could of done it week 2 cuz (to my knowledge i might be wrong) titan didnt ask to play you. i dont know about everyone else but it does matter to me because at least you get a challenge along the way. i gotta run through alabama and lsu along with my conference and you play like 2 ranked teams all season...

I have the big xii confrence so I'm sure I play more than 2 ranked teams and I have potentially 4 user games. Its not about who Ask to play who its about who fits. I didn't make my schedule soft for a walk to the nc. I never do.and we could have played week two but the who was oregon to play eek six or whatever.

thanks man, it worked!

UW behind Nick Montana start the season right for the #7 Huskies as they warm up vs CSU 59-14...really got good play from SR QB N Montana, HB JR Z McCulley & SR J Callier, and WR SR D Cooper....on Defense we have a real stud in the making, DE JR Johnny Hubbard who had 7 Sols Tackles, 1 Sack, and 1 INT for a TD.....good start....but this will be a tough season with user games vs Buc, Grey and Coke, Oh brother....

Pitt opens up with convincing win over Iowa

Coach Macc and the Pittsburgh Panthers took the field today with a ton of familiar faces on defence, but without their offensive captain and leader the past two seasons, Jordan Eldridge. Eldridge was selected in the 2nd round of the NFL draft by the Philadelphia Eagles, and was at Heinz Field to watch the second generation of Eldridge family Pitt QBs.

Marcus Eldridge put the potential red shirt questions to rest in the first quarter with his play of the game touchdown pass on his very first college attempt for a 44 yard score to WR Todd Thomas. Eldridge is the highly touted five star prospect out of Pittsburgh Penn. however the Panthers also received commitment from a junior transfer, JJ Collins. Collins questionable call to become a Panther raised eyebrows among the entire nation with Coach Macc's pro style offence with not much playcalling that allows Collins to showcase his feet.

Macc opened the playcalling up a bit, mixing a good 50/50 of his QBs, it looks like the Panthers will have a dual QB offence this year.

"Well, JJ is a field general and the boy can run. He's going to perfect for Marcus adjusting to the league and JJ is our starter. Marcus knows his role and knows that he's the future starting quarterback of this team. Right now we just feel like we've got a great opportunity to win some ball games using our entire quarterback corps," Coach Macc said.

The defence turned it up in the second half, allowing just seven points but forcing three interceptions. The "Triple Threat" each recorded an interception and proved they will be a dominant force this season. MLB Brock Harris lead the team with ten solo tackles, three for loss and the interception to cap his day and LB of the Year campaign. LB Ben Dowdell made up for a few first half blunders resulting in penalties, with a 9 tackle one interception day. FS Preston East had a highlight reel interception in the endzone, stealing points from the Hawkeyes and had a solid quiet 3 tackle game. Harris, Dowdell and East made one of five September covers of Sports Illustrated with the caption TRIPLE THREAT.

If you would believe it, RB Reggie Hall was the player of the game with 115 hard nosed yards on 18 carries. Josh Weeks also took carries, for a 5.6 average and had a rushing score where he was untouched. Weeks showed his 4.28 speed and scored on a kick return as well.

Oregon gets the big win against #16 Wisconsin, holding them scoreless for much of the game. The thing that i was most impressed with was QB Bryan Bennett's maturation. He is deadly accurate this year. We do have less depth and i already lost my LOLB for 8 weeks to broken ribs, but its a good way to start out the year with a blow out win. Recap coming soon.

Got some things today during the day, I will be around to play late tonigth when week two goes up!

week 2 tonight! I'm gna methodically stomp texas into the ground. we need them to have at least 5 losses this year...10 5 stars is borderline cheating!

Your team may be better than mine, but they totally destroyed me up front.

It was ridiculous

how did you play them? they look like they have a weak secondary...speedy ends, did you try running at them?

MTSU beat WKU pretty handily in the second half, but it was a dogfight in the first half. I dont know if we played absolutely terrible or we just have a ways to go, i think the later of the two.... should be very very very challenging against Mizzou tonight, Ax ill be home around midnight central or so, wanna play then?

i tried running...LOL... (-19) rushing yards..which did include sacks...

But I got stuffed 4 TIMES on 4th and 1 or inches in their territory. I was in Power I...and ran Power O twice and HB Slam twice and got stuffed...

They weer completely destroying my O-line.


I got down 21-0 so I went one dimensional pass offense. and did pretty good. But when EA decided they needed a pick or sack, they got one for sure lol...although I hate using the EA excuse, they just had too much talent...

no offense bucc but it looks like the left side of your oline is pretty weak this year lol

ok so i just realized macc u only have one user game so idk we gotta figure that one out..
