Shag, you up for another midnight game??

You got it.

I think we're all ready to roll...

I'm gone Monday through Thursday, so we may have to postpone the game in which UNC beats down Iowa to late in the week...

Are we ready to roll this, by the way? I'm ready.

I think we are all ready. Just waiting on Zell to roll.

Will roll it tonight. I have been very busy since Friday...sorry.

Let's try tonight at 10 pm or thereafter. Maybe we have enough time for you to beat me twice.

Jumping jesus christ....between the 5 broken tackles your HB had that allowed him to run all over me, and the 7 dropped passes on KEY drives that my receivers had (not to mention the fact you had sticky fingers on defense)... there was nothing I could do to stop you.

Good game man. I'll look forward to our rematch in the championship

Don't forget your QBs shaking off D-line tacklers and running 40 yards! Good game. The INTs killed you, and my running game didn't help. I did gift you that INT at the goal line, though. It flew off of my QB's hands...I didn't mean for it to go that deep, as all my TE had to do is catch it and barrel through your CB, but oh well.

Hopefully we'll see each other again!

We are ready to roll in this league.

Yesterday was crazy. I think my console may be getting too much of a work out with me be out of work. I had three freezes while I was playing the game. If that didn't happen, my right tackle was freezing on offense and my left corner was freezing on defense. I tried to play through it once, but I was losing 35-0 because they would just throw over the corner who was not moving. So I decided to give my system a rest for a few hours and played later. Everyone was fine, so I finished the game.

Wow.

Iowa got stomped by Notre Dame last night, 37-27. ND's front 7 was monsterous, keeping me to 34 rushing yards on 22 attempts. Some of that is due to some mean sacks my QB took. I threw 4 INTs, but ND threw 3 and lost a fumble. There was a moment when I thought I'd be able to get back into it, but my last INT sealed the game for ND.

Oh, and when they line up for a long FG, don't assume they're going to run a fake. I went into a nickel defense to cover the fake, and their kicker booted a 58 yarder. Easily.

Hey, all. I leave tomorrow until June 8. I'll put myself on autopilot. No need to wait for me.

Iowa pulls out a thriller against Florida, 31-27. Florida went up 24-0, but Iowa brought it to 24-10 at the half. No one scored in the 3rd, but the 4th was full of fireworks, with Iowa scoring 21 points.

Florida would have won the game but for horrid coaching. I had scored to bring it to 24-17 with 5:30 left. We traded several turnovers (Florida ended the game with 7 compared with Iowa's 6 turnovers), and then Florida put together a long drive that was chewing up time. They had the ball at about the Iowa 16 with 2:45 left in the game. On 2nd-and-10 or some such, the Florida QB dropped back to throw rather than trying to run down the clock. He was hit hard by a D-lineman, the ball popped out and was caught in mid-air by a second lineman who then rumbled 84 yards for a TD to tie the game. (Watch this video, as it's just awesome...from my perspective!)

Then Florida had the ball and managed to work it all the way down to the Iowa 5 yard line. I tried to let them score a TD multiple times (prevent quarter defense against their heavy sets), but they weren't baited into getting into the endzone (or my stupid CBs would come up and drop the runner for a loss...what the hell?). I figured I'd have no time left, but Florida inexplicably called a timeout, leaving about 50 seconds on the clock after they kicked a FG from the 1 yard line.

After getting the ball back, I went 0-3 and faced a 4th-and-10. I barely converted that, but from there managed to pull out a few throws, including a huge 48 yard bomb. My TE scored in a crowd with 6 sec. left to give me the win.

Crazy. I couldn't run the game to save my life, with 1 yard on 18 attempts. Ugh.

I should be able to get my game in today at some point.

Sounds good. I've been busy moving to a new place and helping my friend with these pesky wildfires here in Colorado. Will roll the league tomorrow or Friday when I get the chance.
