Northwestern (Shonuff27) at Georgia Tech (Shag26)

We are shooting for Sunday to play.

So yeah, beat Syracuse 35-21...................and the EA Servers told me to go f*ck myself. I will need to replay it at some point.

Good game Shag! Northwestern wins 28-6. I thought I was going to lose 9-7 until the turnovers happened late in the 4th quarter.

I will replay tonight, and we will roll later tonight. Any signs of life from Counselor or Bill Bonney??

I am playing shortly.

That fumble by my QB was a huge turning point. Oh well. Now I have to hope for some wins so I can get a bowl bid. 4-3 is OK but now it is a streak of 2 for losses.

I am in the middle of my latest attempt, but I told my wife if she wants to use the XBox, she can, and I will just sim my game. WIth that said, Bonney has until I reach my XBox and get to the Advance option to play his game. We will advance tonight, I promise.

will play right now if its not too late

By the way, guys – I had to quite out of my game last night to play Shag in the other league. I was down 3-0 midway through the 1st quarter, so not a lot had happened yet.

f*ck you, Cincy. At the half, Cincy up 21-14 on Iowa. Hail Mary caught as time expired. Iowa defensive TD called back on review. Crazy good INT by Cincy LB as Iowa was driving in for a TD. Now they get the ball to start the half...

Edit: and Iowa gets an INT of their own.

Iowa pulls out the win over Cincinnati, 28-27, scoring the go-ahead TD with about 2 min left to play. Crazy game. The player of the game was a DT who finished with 8 tackles, 7 for a loss, and 5 sacks. This was in large part because the Cincy QB insisted on trying to scramble, but was bottled up pretty effectively (an understatement since he was sacked 9 times).

Iowa played most of the game using its 3rd string HB, since the 1st stringer is out for an extended time and the 2nd string went down early in the game with an injury. I passed a lot more to keep the 4th string rusher on the bench – he's a strong safety.

Speaking of passing, my QB went 24-37 for 280 yards, 3 TDs. But he took 3 sacks and threw *4* INTs. Ugly stuff.

Cincy was held to only 178 yards, only 97 of that through the air on 8-19 passing. There were a lot more drop backs, but the QB scrambled out of the pocket without throwing. Hell, about half his passing yardage came on the hail mary at the end of the half!

Good to pull this one out!

Sounds about right

Troll!

Why would I think that a guy from Ann Arbor and another guy from South Bend would be able to get along?

To be fair, I think Leroy was sayinf if he were still playing Cincy there would be only three possible outcomes:

1) I'd win by about a pointy on a late score as I did.

2) He'd win in the same manner.

3) He'd win by 20.

All about equally probable based on past history.

sh*t...#4 UNC falls for the second time this season, this time to #2 UGA. It was a tough game as the Bulldogs stadium was packed for this Saturday afternoon matchup. UNC took the ball first and was marching hard down the field, showing the awesome aerial attack they have become famous for. It was 2nd and 7 on UGA 17 yard line when an unimpeded blitz caught the UNCs QB on the blindside. A wounded duck was tossed up and easily intercepted. To add insult to injury, the QB was injured and would not return to this game. UGA took over and for the entire first quarter it was a series of 3 and outs for each team. The second quarter starts and UNCs backup QB starts it with a nice play action pass for 32 yards...that would be the best throw he would make for the next two quarters. He threw a pick on the next play and that started UGAs offensive engine. Skip ahead to the 4th quarter. UGA is leading 17-0 and its looking like a shut out. UNC has given up 6 turnovers and the backup is doing horrible. He cant hear anything...the receivers are dropping what balls do reach them and UNCs starting HB has been in and out 4 separate times with minor injuries. UGA realizes this and pins their ears back...and promptly blow a coverage. UNCs vertical threat breaks one open down the side and starts a comeback. 17-7. UGA goes three and out. UNC gets a nice return for once and starts at midfield with the no huddle attack...goes down and scores 17-14. UGA takes the kickoff and slowly works down the field, burning as much time as possible. That drive ends in a FG 20-14. 1:43 left in the game. Kickoff goes for a touchback.
UNC runs a broken screen play for a loss...not good. Goes back to no huddle. Short pass to the slot man, gets a first down, rushes to the line, four verts...there it is, Blown coverage again. The bomb...the catch...UNC WR is running for his life...gets to the 20 yard line when UGAs secondary catches up...POP...fumble (sounds like a certain Broncos WR doesn't it?). UGA recovers and goes into a victory formation. For Shame. It was a good try...maybe if my two star players on Offensive has stayed healthy throughout the game, it would have ended in a comeback worthy for the SEC. Either way...it was aggravating yet enjoyably challenging. Hats off to the SOB CPU.

Looks like we have 3 games yet to get in this week...how's everyone doing?

I'm dropping the ball. I can play tomorrow (Thursday) night. I will roll at midnight tomorrow night.

Cool

Wait a sec, are we on week 9 or still on week 8?

We are on Week 9 according to the site!

We are on Week 9 according to the site!

I haven't been checking the dynasty site. I won't have a chance to play tonight.

I'm gonna have to drop out. I barely have time to play anything right now, and I just don't like this year's game enough to force myself to play it when I do have a few minutes.

Sorry, guys.

Dammit! I hate bye weeks...

And I'm done recruiting.

Due to Sandy knocking out Shag's power, I am going to extend the deadline this week. I am going to play tomorrow, as I have power and no work for a 3rd straight day

I hope everyone else is ok during these last couple of days.

Exactly...stay safe, everyone.

Hey do not blame me for holding up the league. I played my game before I lost power. I am waiting on you slow pokes. My internet access is limited and my xbox play is limited. I have a generator and the necessities are hooked up (modem, tv, satellite and xbox). Who cares about the stuff in the freezer and fridge.

I was hoping you hadn't played, lol. I will try to get my game in today or tomorrow.
