I'm not so sure. I'm starting to wonder if I've become too old to be competitive in these leagues. Hit the big 4-0 this summer...

Gotta go tell some kids to get off of my lawn.

[SirFozzie]

heh. My game and recruiting are in.

[Kodos]

As predicted, we lost badly tonight, although not as badly as we did in RFL. Small consolation, really.

[SirFozzie]

Kodos has let me know that he's regrettably going to drop out of this dynasty. I hope he comes back, but we'll continue with the three we have, and Sun Tzu when he joins.

[SirFozzie]

We are in Week 7. Files are due by 11:59 PM Tuesday

[cmp]

Gramm, whens a good time for you to play? I'm available most nights after 9 EST.

[Grammaticus]

How about Monday night around 10:30pm Eastern Time?

Works for me.

[cmp]

We just didn't have enough talent to compete with Ole Miss. Fumbled everytime we got hit it felt like.

[Grammaticus]

Yeah, the turnover machine was against GV. Something like four fumbles, three lost and a few interceptions. Good game.

[SirFozzie]

Ok, I'll play tonight, and try to set Indiana on Autopilot so we can advance

[SirFozzie]

Dean squeaks out a 38-35 win over Cinci (I hate the way they play, reminds me of the online players who run 5 WR every single play and nohuddle all the time) on a last second FG

This week's games pit #7 Ole Miss against Indiana, Grand Valley against Cincinatti, and Dean against UConn

[cmp]

Wow, well, I don't know if I can describe how ridiculous my come from behind 69-66 win over Cincinnati just was. By far the craziest game I have ever played. First off, we were down all game. Had no offense to speak of in the first half. Managed to get a safety and one TD in the first half and went into the half down 17-9. The third quarter started the offensive onslaught as I could do nothing to stop Cincy's passing attack. They scored 28 points in the quarter, we scored 22. We went into the 4th down 45-31. We started the scoring with a INT return for a TD. They came right back with another passing TD. We went right back down the field and scored again a 3 yard run. But Cincy answered with another TD, this time 61 yards. We were stopped on a 4th down attempt and Cincy scored again. Score was now 66-45 with 2:30 left in the game. We took the ball and tried to move quickly, but it took us 1:26 before we scored to make the score 66-52 with 1:04 left in the game. We were unable to get the onside, but on the very next play Cincy fumbled the ball, Shane Lloyd picked it up and returned it for a TD. 66-59 with now 46 seconds left. And we still had 3 timeouts. Cincy ran the ball three consecutive times and we were able to force a punt. Very first play with the ball with about 18 seconds left CJ Anderson throws up a bomb to Edwin Nicholas who catches it, breaks a few tackles, and goes 80 yards for a TD. 66-66. Now, only 5 seconds left. We do a squib kick to prevent a return and bring the game to OT. But, on the return, we strip the ball, I still had strip ball on from the last minute desperation attempts. We recover the ball and need to beat one guy to return it for a TD but cannot. That should send it to overtime. But no, facemask on Cincy on the fumble return. Ball is now on the 16 yard line for one untimed down. Of course I bring out the field goal unit. Field goal good, we win 69-66.

Insane game. We were absolutely torched by Cincy. Here is what their QB's final stat line was.

31-40 - 671 yards - 8 TD's.

I usually always run the ball the majority of the time. But being down so much I had to go all out pass in the second half. Especially in the 4th. We had to keep going back to our best receiver Nicholas to have any hopes and he ended up with 15 catches for 391 yards and 3 TD's.

[SirFozzie]

So, in the last two weeks, Cincinnati has scored 101 points.. and is 0-2. Insane.

[SirFozzie]

Giving myself a slight extension, it'll be finished sometime tonight

[SirFozzie]

Got screwed in a 28-21 finish. Week 9 is up

Dean v #22 Pitt
Ole Miss v Uconn
Grand Valley Bye.

[cmp]

GVSU's recruiting is complete.

[Grammaticus]

I finished up my game with UCONN and hit ready to advance.

[SirFozzie]

Great! I'll play tonight, and we'll hit week 10 overnight,.

[SirFozzie]

Hey guys, I'm going to try to kick this going shortly, sorry about the delay. today's the last day of an absolutely killer work stretch (thankfully, I work from home tonight.

[SirFozzie]

Files up. Sorry about the delay.

[SirFozzie]

Only two games this week, if I can, I'll get my Week 10 in tonight to prevent any more delay..

Dean v Indiana

and Rutgers v Grand Valley

[SirFozzie]

Week 10 is complete:

Week 11 games:

Grand Valley at Dean (yeah, my human games are next two weeks. Eek)

10 tomorrow will work.

[Sun Tzu]

Sorry about half-flaking on you guys. It came down to my wife not OK'ing the extra $300 it would take to buy a 360, NCAA 11 and sign up for XBL. I wound up just getting NCAA for PS3 and getting a league rolling with some other folks. Nothing personal of course. When the boss says no, there's no arguing.

*whip cracks*

Sure thing.

[SirFozzie]

Dean pulls off the win, 38-21. Give cmp credit he kept fighting to get back into it after a couple key plays didn't go his way (pick-six and a fumbled kickoff return)... but Dean made the plays without their starting QB and RB...

Week 12 files up:

#4 Ole Miss v Dean
Grand Valley v Pittsburgh

Ole Miss can clinch at least a tie for the Big East this week, if they beat Dean, and Grand Valley beats Pitt (they'd be up 2 with two to play).

File up, games due by Wed

[Grammaticus]

When do you want to roll with Dean and Ole Miss? I'm pretty much good after 10pm. Nothing really planned for the weekend right now. I could probably do a Saturday or Sunday morning as well if that works better.

Good game. I got taken out of my gameplan early and it showed. I had a tough time doing anything that I wanted to.

In other news, we just signed a 4* QB to go along with our two 4* WR's we signed. We're hoping to revamp our offense for next season.

After 10 is fine by me.. I "Work" the next two nights from home (meaning if it's quiet, I could get it done) and then off sunday and monday.

[Grammaticus]

I'm going to jump on xbox live in a minute. If you are able to play we can knock it out tonight.

[cmp]

I'll get my game in sometime this afternoon.

[SirFozzie]

good to go tonight, Grammaticus?

[Grammaticus]

Should be fine. I should be good to go between 10pm and 10:30pm. Will that work for you?

[SirFozzie]

argh, didn't see that. Try to pick this up during the week I guess :P

[Grammaticus]

No problem,do you want to try tonight?

[SirFozzie]

I'm in till 10-10:30 pm each of the next three nights

[Grammaticus]

Does that mean you can play at 10:30pm? If not, I'm out of town Friday through Sunday. I'm going to watch Ole Miss / Auburn, hoping for an upset.

[SirFozzie]

Tommorrow at 10:30, I should be good to go.

[Grammaticus]

That sounds good. I can always play later too if needed. I'm usually up pretty late.

[Grammaticus]

Looks like I am going to be running late. Are you able to play later?

[SirFozzie]

Probably. hit me up here with a PM when you're in.

[SirFozzie]

Having a hard time uploading the file to the server, I'll update in an hour or two

[SirFozzie]

File is up.

Cngrats to Ole Miss for clinching the Big East Title: All that's left to see is if they play for the national title:

I BELIEVE that if Dean and Grand Valley both win, then Dean will finish second in the conference (head to head) but Grand Valley may get the better bowl game as they were higher ranked).

[SirFozzie]
