2015 Week 7 Discussion

Up

is it just me or has it been extra quiet around here?

Have a huge game with USC this week, and probably lost a lot of recruits last week with the loss and had several visiting...sigh...

ya its been different this year boards are much quieter .. lol.. i have realized that this game is balanced.. as far as recruiting goes.. u cant have a great class 2 years inna row.. cause this year isnt my year im getting destroyed.. apparently this year belongs to GT.. and we are all fighting got his kids lol i stold a c from him tho but i think thats all im gonna steal.. gotta hit the board hard this week and get some kids i can sign on it... Oklahoma will be played soon..

Titan watch when you schedule visits, I almost never would have any come visit during a user game bro thats just askin for trouble.

On the other hand, I smoke 'Cuse and had a bunch on board - big rivalry win I think it was by like 70 somethign points. The run game FINALLY showed up two true freshman lead the way RB Shaun Jordan has a breakout 250 yard day with 5 scores on the gruond. Lead blocking for him was FB Ken Cobbs, these two were redshirts to begin the year but with the injury plague in the running back corps, Coach Macc let Cobbs know prior to the Cuse game that he would be getting some PT. Jordan looked extra comfortable and finally Marcus Eldridge had the balance that allowed him to throw the ball comfortably all game, without having to pressure many throws.

Jordan looked smooth on some wildcat formations, but mainly pounded and grinded out hard-nosed yards.

Coach Macc has announced Jordan and Cobbs will be the new starters at their positions, and when asked about when All American Reggie Hall returns, Macc stated that "Jordan's stepped up to the call of duty and the way he's played the last couple of weeks he has defenitely earned his spot on the team, even when Reggie returns as the teams #1. In terms of Cobbs, he's won the starting spot,"



...and ya what the hells goin on it feels like a ghost town around here!

I think we need an All American Army Bowl HS write up lol

Hey Gruden...can you give me some advice on the upcoming Washington Oregon game in real life? The line right now is Oregon -28.5. I think Locker is out for washington. I'm thinking this is a steal...since the huskies def is terrible. Is Oregon by 30+ a lock?

Oregon opens up a big win over #10 Michigan in the second half, but loses starting RB Hood for 4 weeks

Oregon 41
Michigan 20

Oregon had it's hands full early against an unbeaten Michigan Wolverines team led by all world RB Michael Morgan who took a dump off pass 72 yards to the house to tie the score early at 7-7. Oregon would respond in the 2nd quarter, converting 8-8 on third downs over the middle to the senior TE Rivers taking a 20-13 halftime lead.

After the break, it was all Ducks, as they forced 3 fumbles and punished the Wolverines for giving them good field position. QB Chris Kanel had a bounce back game throwing for 373 yards and 5 TDs.

Oregon would not catch a break from the injury bug though, as starting RB Trenton Hood, went down for 4 weeks with an undisclosed injury. This clearly is a huge blow for a Ducks team who has a rivalry game against Washington in it's sights.

Next up Oregon travels to ASU

Defense wins championships and the way my defense is playing right now.. i cant help but to feel like another is in order.. 4 sacks coming from 4 diffrent guys 14 tfl again coming from all over.. leading the way was olb whitlock as he coverd well and forced the qb into a few mistakes.. oklahoma only got 3 points..the run game was shut down as they had 25 att and only 32 yards.. it was a whoopin.. graham was again explosive however against a team with better speed he was def held more in check only 66 yards on his 8 carries but add the 62 yards he had punt returning and the 2 rec for 21 yards and he still has 153 yards of yardage which is significant in a game like this..Oklahoma came in with the game plan to stop the option and they did keeping the qb in the negative running and both backs under 100.. but what they didnt acct for was the passing abilty of this football team.. when the run was stuffed we took to the skies as williamson light it up.. 22-32 326 yards and 3 tds.. Brandon Evans had 10 rec for 156 and 2 td.. and this kid is flying under everyones radar but he shouldnt be.. Kid is gonna be a freak.. his name is Clayton Phillips.. 7 rec 116 yards in the game. he is a true freshman and on the year has 25 catches for 552 and 6 tds..The tigers seem to be in form and should pretty easily make it thru whats left of thier schedule.. Texas Tech is up next.. week 11 Texas a&m is the last ranked team on the schedule before facing off against either Texas or Oklahoma State in the big xii championship..

I think bucc and titan are all thats left before we can advance..cookan is on now.. boondock just finished...

going to play mine in just a short moment

Will be playing my game in a couple hours.

Also, boondock is just piling in top players, already has a commit from the #1 QB...and now a soft commit to the top QB in California, who I have been tirelessly going after. Even had a 2X week in week 5 with like 800 points, yet he takes over the top spot. Grrr...I have him visiting this week, but dunno how that will work out.

yyup just rolled over duke 40 something to 6... playing the cpu is getting really boring... even against good teams bc the way we have the sliders almost forces them to play the same way.
their running game is always a joke and their passing game is challenging the 1st half but then drastically slows down as the game goes on...
also the cpu pass D is complete garbage, i can tell from looking at everyone's stats that u guys see it too. anytime we can complete only 12-15 passes and throw for 250-300 yards, something is wrong... is anyone else seeing this?

i remember gruden posting some slider sets but we didnt really do much with them. how exactly do we go about implementing some minor slider changes? because imo our teams are not 40 and 50 points better than every other team in this game. i think the cpu running game and pass D needs a boost. and our run blocking on offense needs to come down jus a little bit

theres prob some other stuff that needs to be tweaked but this is just whats been bugging me these past couple of games

what do u guys think?

i dont think Boondock has lost to anyone since he joined. and he inheirited a shitty gtech team. can you imagine wut hes going to do with an ax mizz type team with unlimited speed? scary thought.

i really would pay boondock to teach me how to recruit like he does...crazy

yea i welcome slider changes to make it more challenging. theres no reason the only basic losses we all take are by user games. i did lose that one game my first year in the OD but since then my only losses are the other users. I think our throw accuarcy should come down, and def run blocking and run ability for cpu go up.

boondock...can you share your recruiting success from this year so far? are you paying these kids off under the table?

he is hiring hookers.... thats it


and yes i am not that good, but i am for a slider change as well... i just hate seeing people win by ungodly amounts of points... very unrealistic and it has to be boring as well....

lol
answer: all of the above

also just wait till u become a 6* school
these kids start begging you to sign them...
i literally have spent 10 min a week on that 5* DE and hes about to sign lol

yea its pretty boring knowing im gna blow out the computer. even the crazy teams, they hang around for the first half then lose it in the second

woooow...thats terrible...10 min a week and i bet someone was pumping 60 min a week for a long time into him. thats messed up lol

i dnt think ill ever get to a 6 star. does anyone know what i would have to do? i know there was that chart a while back...but id have to win the NC or the Pac 10? Any other way?

naaaa i dont think so... im the only user team on his board and we recruit on varsity so sometimes the CPU will leave certain recruits alone( idk why hes the #1 DE in the country lol)
but i love recruiting so i really do my homework on theses kids and try to target guys who want to come to GT

oh and i think u jus have to finish in the top 5
but to do that you'll basically have to win ur confernce or sneak into the NC game somehow....

I think we defenitely need to relax on this off season and figure out a good, new set that we can use as well. It's getting pretty rediculous. But enhancing the CPUs Run Ability will make them BEASTS in almost every situation they have the ball, ie on interception returns somehow cornerbacks are plowing OLineman like it's their job or on punt/kickreturn it gets very frustrating so I wouldn't mind a huge increase of the CPU run block, or osmething like that. I still wnat to be able ot play.

I think the CPU pass needs to go down, they need to drop more if the QB can get some of the miraculous throws off he does JUST as hes about to be tackled.

RANDY MOSSS TO THE TITANNNSSS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

hmmm agreed macc...heres a shot in the dark

what if we turned this dynasty into a 2 to 3 star dynasty where everyone had to claim a 2 or 3 star team. that way the sliders would remain, and it would take us a good 2 or 3 seasons to reach the pinnacle that ax is at or boondock

i think part of the reason we are destroying the cpu is bc our players are incredible. maybe a ratings differential will seperate that. idk just a thought

thats not a bad idea grey

idk i think the point is competition...and the only competition we have is each other it seems. but we can all only play each other 3 or 4 times a season. that means the other 8 or 9 games were floating and handing the cpu one sided losses

can you build the next TCU or Boise St? idk just a thought.

ok, i just lost to usc by 6...41 to 35... really dont care.... WAY TOO UNBELIEVABLY EXCITED BECAUSE WE JUST GOT FUCKING RANDY MOSS, I CANNOT BELIEVE THSI! OMGGGGGGGG


I like your idea about the 2 and 3 star teams though grey.... maybe even compltely start over? and strictly enforce a hire away to a new school policy or something?
