Calmer than you are.
Posts #2 and #3 have been updated. I have added buchtel and 'Bubba to post #3, but I am too lazy to add their season 1 schedule to post #2 in the last week of the season.
In other news. I beat Eastern Michigan so bad last week that the game decided to give me two wins. That's right. I am now 13-0 after 12 games. Weird.

6pm today? I'll try to get it done as soon as I get home. But my baby has been sick so hopefully he will let me log on as soon as I get home so I can get my stuff done by 6. But if not... I will have to wait til my wife gets home so she can take care of him (she doesn't get home til 6, so I might run late if you can hold it up for 30 minutes or so....)

I should have put an ~ in front of the 6PM EST. fanatic and I will be able to play the CCG at just about any time this evening, but I want to get it in early enough to advance to the bowls, and get all bowl games, awards, and standings posted, before the Browns game.Piney;1329175; said:

My feeling is, have at it. If it is a part of major college football, do it in this league. The big no-no's are stupid position changes (Speedy CB/WR to QB/TE) or the rocket catches every play.
As for no huddle, if you do it too much your players get tired and more prone to fumble or throw INT's. So there is risk on both sides.

It has it's uses. I think that the main issue that I have with the hurry up is when it's combined with other methods of cheesing. I wouldn't run the WR/RB at QB and the hurry up at the same time, but it's really a judgement call. I've had players in this league use the hurry up against me, and it didn't really bother me. They didn't use it exclusively, or otherwise cheese. So I didn't care.Whobebubba3;1329337; said:

Since I will be playing you tomorrow... you can't use it until after you play me
Seriously... it should be no problem at all as Iron pointed out that it doesn't include conventional cheesing methods. The most obvious one that I could think of is lining up in a 5 WR formation and then audibling to an I-Formation and thus having WRs in the RB, FB & TE spot.
But normal hurry-up should be no problem. And thanks for asking the question. Cuz now I can make sure my defensive audibles are in place

Iron, that was a stupid game. Frustrating. I am going to celebrate with Ice Cream now, so I will post my detailed opinions later. It sure was fun though.

Great MAC Championship game. fanaticbuckeye is the season 1 MAC Champion.
Bonehead play on my part that cost me the game, but the fact is, I couldn't stop fanatics 'O' anyway.
Tied 17-17 to start the 4th quarter, Kent State scores a TD. Followed by a CMU FG. Kent State kicks a FG with 1:35 left to play to go ahead 27-20. CMU drives down the field and scores a TD with :34 left. Score 27-26. FAKE EXTRA POINT IS GOOD!!! CMU goes ahead 28-27 with :34 left. Good return. gives Kent State good field position. Fumble on the first play of the drive gives the ball back to CMU, but wait, Kent State has all of their timeouts. 2 runs and nothing. Then the genius that is IronBuckI goes with playaction on 3rd down. PICK FUCKING SIX!!!! Kent State. Hail Mary came close, but no cigar.
Final Score Kent State 35 Central Michigan 28.

Posting from the Blackberry, so apologies in advance for spelling or outbursts...
The game was ultra competitive! Overall the game was smooth, but there were incidents of choppy-ness that almost hurt.
My field goal attempt that was good and several running attempts that had no impact. But I promise you, I was trying to call timeout on your 2PT fake because the length of time it took you to call the play, I had a feeling you were going for two. I was calling timeout and it wouldn't give it to me. But then on the pick6, it froze while the ball was in the air and I started to yell at the TV, luckily it worked out well.
My wife lost quite a bit of respect for me tonight because I was standing and talking to the TV like it was talking back. And when my LB with what felt like 35 speed was running down the sideline I was screaming GO-GO-GO! After I explained to her how awesome what just happened was, she compared me to her brother who is a World of Warcraft dork that I make fun of all the time.
Now, how about an all-MAC BCS finals rematch?

Geez, I got the short end of the Bowls...
I downloaded the file last night after the Browns game (with the way EA servers have been lately, that is half the battle). Of course my 3 month old has been sick this week and I promised the wife that last night I would get up to feed him overnight as he has not liked sleeping in the crib with his congestion. I figured I could get my game in overnight (with him sleeping on me) since I am not sure I can get the game in Tuesday night.
So wouldn't you know it... my boy sleeps through the night in his crib and doesn't wake up til my alarm goes off in the morning.
Damn... I planned on playing my human game with Whobe tonight.
Hey Whobe... you mind not playing til Wednesday night? Or just later Tuesday night? (like 8-9pm?)
