Ready when you are!

Good game. I was thinking I was done for when it was 14-3 with 2 minutes left in the half. Then Toussaint happened. Those two runs before halftime hurt.

I uploaded some videos.

Good game, Leroy. I had no answer for Toussaint. On most of those runs, though, he was pretty much untouched.

That second run before the half, I anticipated you might run pretty much that same play, but you had some nifty running, and my guys took some bad angles.

I have to say, though, the play you posted with Robinson scrambling really ticked me off. That's a huge 257 lb linebacker hitting him square. He should have gone down, fumbled the ball, and cried for his mother.

Normally, yes. Cry for his mother AND grandmother..... But this is Denard! But yeah, dead to rights. I'm surprised he broke free and wasn't injured

We're waiting on Shag. He said he'll get his game in tonight. Stay tuned!

Wife will be at play practice, so it will be me and the kids tonight. I should be able to get my game in early and we can move on. Sorry for the delay.

Kush --- I'm listed as not ready to advance...for some reason. I'm ready as can be to get past this week.

Also: last season I followed up on my loss to Michigan by getting CRUSHED by Michigan State. Can ND avoid that trap this year after a disappointing loss?

League rolled so we are in Week 4. It's me and you Zell. Let me know when you can play. I can work around that.

I can play after 9eastern thoughout the week and all day sunday.

I got to tell everyone this...its crazy.

So...I grew up in West Virginia but moved to Colorado 4 years ago. Back when I was in WV, I was good friends with this decently pretty girl. About ten years ago, she moved away to florida and I never heard from her again, (but saw her on one of my neighbors Hooters girl calenders back in 2006, lol). Anyway...long story short, I just found out tonight that she moved to Colorado 3.5 years ago and has been living 15 minutes away from me this entire time. What are the odds? Anyway, Saturday, she and I are going to get reacquainted.

That is a crazy story!

Let's shoot for after 9:30pm tomorrow (Thurs.) I have to take my one daughter to cheerleading practice and that ends at 8. That should give me enough time to get them to bed.

see you tomorrow then

ND beats Michigan State 35-26. The game really wasn't much in question after the half (MSU scored a final TD with 11 sec left on the clock). Part of this was due to a monster ND drive that spanned the 3rd and 4th quarters, going for 17 plays and 5:49 on the clock and ending in a TD.

There were some crazy plays. The INT video posted shows a routine pass to a crossing route get batted at the line of scrimmage, flutter high into the air, and land in the hands of a MSU player at the ND 13 or so, leading to an instant TD going the other way. On another play, I had a clear shot at the MSU QB with my stud freshman DE...only to completely WHIFF! He proceeded to throw a long rainbow pass into double coverage (triple?). The WR stood between a pair of defenders waiting for the ball to come down, but he had better position and made a clean catch for a big gain.

The coolest, though, was a TD pass caught by my WR. He had single coverage on the outside, and I audibled to a corner route for him. I lofted it up, hoping to get it above the CB, but it didn't go high enough. The CB batted it, it rolled down my WR's back, and then I pushed the Y button at exactly the right time to turn around and catch it about a foot off of the ground. SWEET!

By the way, the second half of last week's game versus Michigan not withstanding, my punter rocks. He put two punts inside the 10 and 4 inside the 20. His average is only about 42 (?) yards per punt, but he's made it easy to pin people back pretty far.

I am still going to try to make it home...but they have me working overtime tonight since we had two other agents call off today. So...I might be an hour late. We'll see

BC rolls over the Bearcats 31-0. My offense started off slow with my QB going 4-12 for 34 yards and 0-5 on third downs. My defense really stepped up all game getting a pick six on the Bearcats first drove in the second quarter. My offense really picked up in the second half with my running game finally getting some traction and my QB stopped over throwing his receivers by 15 yards. And the defense kept applying pressure knocking the starting QB out three times getting 5 sacks three interceptions and a fumble to close the game. BC has now moved to 3-0 with West Virginia coming up next week.

only ten minutes late...firing up the console now

Michigan stumbles through Minnesota. Lost Denard and Toussaint early. It was only a matter of time.

Whew...I was scared there for a sec...I tried to leave the game and it said it couldnt be recorded due to EA servers being temp offline. Scary

Anyway

WVU leads an upset over the #12 Vols 35-21. Tennessee played a great game but turnovers caused the upset. Both teams had trouble the first quarter but then Geno Smith remembered he was an all american and threw 16-24 282yrds and 4tds. Tennessee tried coming back in the last quarter but there just wasnt enough time left on the clock. Good game Shag.

Thanks Zell. My offense was dead for 2 quarters. I just couldn't stop the deep pass. Very frustrating! Good game and good luck the rest of the way!

Next week has some good story lines going for it. Michigan loses its QB and RB for the next game. And I want to see how much of a pounding Zell will try and put on me to avenge the 2* loss I gave to him.

Every night, I make sure my wife applies lube as I wait for the day.

I can play Sat or Sunday night.

I'll try to catch you on Saturday evening, then.
