When does Counselar get back? I'm playing my game now.

Make sure we roll every 7 days.

He said a few weeks.

Looks like the league is ready to roll. The 3 left are not around, 2 quit and Counselar is probably on his honeymoon by now! Congrats BTW.

I'm posting this from my hotel room in Florence! I'm not back until Thursday, so might as well roll without me. I couldn't commit to playing before the weekend.

Florence, Kentucky?

Florence, New Jersey? You should stop by. You are only 20 minutes away!

Florence, Italy? Only 5 mins away!

Shonuff is out of the picture too? If so, I will roll when I get home.

Lucky to be alive right now, I saw a sports car get obliterated in my lane in my rearview mirror. Not sure what happened, but I hope the guy in the sports car is ok.

I'm still here. I'll play tonight when I get home.

Excellent.

BTW, here's what I was 100 yards in front of this morning

Damn. Iowa gets spanked by Louisville after turning the ball over 5 times. The game wasnt as lose as the final score . I miss my star HB, as Iowa could do nothing on the ground.

Iowa gave up two fumbles, even with the carrying set to conservative and me holding down the "Oh God don't fumble" button. Louisville's safety has huge range, snagging throws I thought were safe. Ugh.

Oh well.

NC takes care of the Tigers 50-28. They played good defense as they forced 7 turnovers (five ints and two fumbles). However, they couldnt get anything going on offense to capitalize on those turnovers. Neither team could get anything going on the ground and that led to a huge passing game. Mizzou lost their starting QB to a bad scramble mid way through the second quarter and the backup just wasnt up to the task. NC had 3 takeaways of their own and a couple of blown coverages led to some long plays. It was a sloppy win...but a win nonetheless.

He thought he was Indiana and threw to the team in red.

I'm going to play Monday night, which is the last night in the sim period. *cough* SHAG *cough* Shonuff *cough*

I think I'm coming down with something................

Counselar, when are you back?

I am back in town. I probably can play by tomorrow night, but I don't want to promise. If I don't play by the time you're ready to roll, just go ahead without me.

I played. I lost 41-31. I guess it didn't take. It was brutal. I was down to my third string QB. I guess I could play again or go into the system to see what is happening.

I will give everyone until midnight tonight, and I will roll tomorrow morning.

I'll play my game sometime in the evening.

Wow. Carnage this week.

What I meant to say was, I'm going to play 3 quarters, take a half day at work today, play the 4th quarter, and roll the league....................

End of 3rd quarter:
Rutgers-20
Connecticut-0

Turnovers:
Rutgers-4 (Dodd: 2 Ints, 2 Fumbles)
Connecticut-5

Gdawg/shonuff,

When are you available to play?

Iowa beats #12 Michigan St., 31-20. The game wasn't really over until Iowa, up 24-20 at the time, took an INT back for a TD with about 1:00 in the game. That was MSU's first turnover of the game, but the followed that up with another INT about 30 seconds later that sealed the game.

Man, my running game is mediocre without my star HB, who's still out another 5 weeks. While my new starter managed just over 100 yards against a really tough MSU defense, he just doesn't have the burst that the other guy does.

The Iowa QB completed 20-30 passes for 300 yards. He had completions to 9 different receivers. However, he (meaning me) made a huge mistake and threw an INT that was taken back about 90 yards for a TD late in the first half. That was the only MSU touchdown of that half.

The defense did okay. MSU's QB had almost as many rushing yards as the HB. My defense had no sacks. Except for those late INTs, the MSU QB played a great game.

One play in the highlights: late in the 4th quarter, with the game on the line, the MSU QB throws into a pack of Iowa players. The ball goes through the hands of an Iowa player, bounces off of the helmet of another, and is then caught by a downfield MSU receiver at his shoestrings. I would have thrown my controller if it hadn't been so funny.

Gdawg/shonuff,

When are you available to play?

Sunday afternoon/evening.

That should work. I also may be around Saturday afternoon around 4 after the NU game (although if they lose again, probably not).
