Holy crap....Marshall just vented some anger at something (not being ranked and still no respect)...They whomped Duke 77-31. Freshman QB Cato had a rating of 260! 21-40 643yrds 10TDs and only 2INTs (for those who played or followed Madden, now I know how Spynavy felt playing as the Colts). All 4 starting WRs had 100+yards. Marshall's D also came up big with one pick six and 9 sacks on the day, plus 8 tackles for a loss. There were so many big plays, I didnt bother posting them as highlights...the stats speak for themselves.

Zellbrige, this game never saved in the system, the site has you as never playing, FYI.

Apparently the game didn't appreciate you running up the score. :p

OUCH.

They thought it was a basketball game instead of a football game.

I was told to post here from one if the guys I work with about joining an online dynasty. Gamertag is Willhouse4078. Are there any certain rules for picking teams at all? This is the first online dynasty I have done.

Since you are new to the site, I'll allow you to join under a temporary probationary period. I'm very lenient, so as long as you're not cheesing, late on getting games in, and get along with the group, you'll be fine. We schedule all human vs human games through this thread, and every season, I will realign the college landscape to put the entire group into 1 or 2 conferences, so we can get some HvH games in. All teams are up for grabs, as long as they are not a 6-star school.

I will send you an invite from the XBox when I get home from work.

Welcome, willhouse. As Kush said, we're generally a friendly group and value fun and having a good attitude about playing more than winning at all costs. We look down on exploiting the games bugs (notably during the human v. human games). Hopefully you'll find we're a pretty good group of folks to play with online (well, except for Leroyog ).

That's good to know. I don't get to play against other people very often so I expect to be destroyed my first few games and then some.

Well, you may or may not get a game in against people this season, so you might be safe for awhile!

Fortunately after the season is over Kush can realign the conferences so they are even again!

I'm the one who brought in Willie. So lol.

you got to be kiddin me...that was my best game to date! GOD thats annoying...I even waited until it went back to the league screen...that is absolutely ridiculous. I will attempt to replay it saturday morning.

Willhouse, I never sent you that invite yesterday. I will do it within the hour.

*EDIT*
Invite sent.

Please note, I am not trying to rush you Zell, just posting an update for the week:

Week 11 League Schedule:
Florida State (XBox) at Boston College (Willhouse4078): Boston College wins 24-14
Duke (XBox) at Marshall (ZellbrigeN26)
Iowa (XBox) at Michigan (LeroyOG): Michigan wins 43-6
Notre Dame (firesloth) at Stanford (XBox): Notre Dame wins 14-10
Rutgers (Kush15) at USF (XBox): USF wins 31-19
Tennessee (Shag26) at TCU (Big Hoppa): TCU wins 34-14

BYE WEEK:
Georgia (Wi11Nick)

Hey, I like the new guy -- he beat #3 FSU.

That means that #1 and #3 have lost so far this week. This'll bump Michigan up to #1 (shudder), probably Boise St. #2, and Ohio State #3 (assuming they beat BYU). Who's after that?

Probably Auburn #4. Is Notre Dame #5? Can ND leap over Florida and A&M for beating Stanford?

Auburn still has to play Georgia (go Wi11Nick) and Alabama. If I beat Ohio State next week, could we be setting up for a rematch in the national championship game?

Also, I think we should allow Zell to rage quit if for some reason Duke actually turns into Alabama as they step onto the field at Marshall and beat him. Make sure you win the game, Zell...by any means necessary in this case!!

Didn't he already use the rage quit card
-Your witty commish

err....that wasnt quite as nice...just a qb rating of 200....two additional ints and one less TD. Plus a few less yards. Defense wasnt quite as hot...but its all understandable. Had to play in snow and 12mph winds the entire game. Only got 3 or 4 sacks and the duke rb burned me for close to 200yrds. Oh well...Herd tops the Devils 70-38.

Rolling league One of the few times I didn't mind getting up to help Kristen feed the baby

___________________________________________________________________

Full slate of games this week, and 1 HvH matchup.

Speaking of which, when would you like to play Zell? My schedule is wide open

That means that #1 and #3 have lost so far this week. This'll bump Michigan up to #1 (shudder), probably Boise St. #2, and Ohio State #3 (assuming they beat BYU).

Whoa. OSU loses to BYU by 7 and drops from #5 to #17??

Oooohh...maybe we can mimic real life by not only have a rematch for the national championship game, but also by screwing Boise State!!!

Hey, and congrats to Marshall at #23 in the BCS rankings.

MIchigan takes care of business.

WOO HOO!!!! IM RANKED! THANK YOU!!!!

Um...lets see how far I fall when I lose to Rutgers. We can play at 1300 sunday afternoon? I should be able to play then.

That should be fine, since the Giants play in the night game. I will let you know if that changes, but see you then.

Ugh. Stupid mistakes by me and an OSU offense that suddenly came alive in the fourth quarter doomed me. Damn.

Going for it on 4th and 10 from your own 21 in the 2nd quarter? Really Zell?

GG Zell. I didn't think I got the 1st down on the 4th and 1 from your 3 yard line early on, and I think that set the tone for the rest of the game. You definitely made it a game late, and I was getting worried when I gave you the ball back with a minute left. Once again, Rutgers decides to disappear in the 4th quarter, as my offense and defense failed to produce.

Also, very nice call on the fake extra point, never saw it coming.

Thanks....I was really getting aggravated. Typically Cato is a much better QB and Ward typically gets at least 4 or 5 yards a carry. I dont know where my Defense was the first 3 quarters. You had 34 carries for 160yrds. That also allowed you to have twice the amount of TOP over me...which kinda sealed the deal. I thought I had you on the run there in the 4th but just couldnt pull it out. I had turnovers at all the wrong times and that first on the 4th and 1 on the 3...that was disheartening. Thats also why I started going for it on 4th and whatever in the second. I was down 21-3 and knew you got it back at the half. So...had to do something to try to stay in it. Anyway....good game...it was fun. Just wonder how far I will fall in the BCS rankings, lol.

It was only 14-3 in the 2nd..............just saying. Granted, had my team actually manned up and stopped you, it would have been my ball in great field position. Regardless, good game, and good luck in your bowl game.
