      WEEK 1

      ***** GAME OF THE WEEK *****
      #8 Florida vs #1 Miami
      Tampa, Florida

      Miami enters the year as preseason #1 for the first time in what seems like forever. They put together a near perfect season last year but none of that matters now. The Battle for the Seminole War Canoe is back and both of these teams are eager to kick this season off and prove who the best team in Florida really is. All 3 of the Florida schools will face each other this year so there will be less talk and more proof. Miami is the favorite by most based on how they found their grove last year but rivalries are different story. Proof of that is the way both FSU games went last year for Miami. Florida gave FSU their only loss in the season so if nothing else that shows that these programs are more even than some may think and its been a long time since that was the case. The key matchup in this one will be the Florida WRs vs the Miami secondary. Florida is not known for having a deep WR core but they are known for speed, which they have at WR and DB. Miami's concern coming in was their secondary so they will need to come out swinging because if they have to call only pass defenses to help their secondary that will open up lanes for Florida to run and with a fast QB and a very good SR RB in Xavier Coley who can take a any run to the house Miami doesnt want to get into a guessing game. Offensively the Canes will start on the ground with their 2 NFL bound RBs but they need their young WRs to get separation and "DBU" doesnt think they can. Great matchup coming up and if you need proof ask Kirk Herbstreit who has picked Florida to pull off the upset.




      ***** GAMES TO WATCH *****
      #6 Michigan @ #10 Arkansas
      - Arkansas first game without Jak will come against a Michigan team that finally getting back to the old days.

      Alabama @ #16 Texas
      - Alabama is still one of top teams on paper they just needed a coach to lift them back up, they have one. Texas will give them hell tho..

      Georgia Tech @ #12 Baylor
      - An interesting contrast of styles for this one. GT doesnt have the skill to win this game yet but it will give Baylor a fun game to open with.

      #21 Washington @ #7 Wisconsin
      - Huskies fans feel like they are underrated coming in, alot of people think Wisconsin is overrated.... one way to find out



      _____________________________________
      NEXT ADVANCE
      SATURDAY



      - first page has the updated rules so READ IT

      - chose to go back to the KR rule of not taking it out of the endzone since it won me some games last year


      *** Brock has joined as Tulane if yal didnt see ***
      - he was in AFL and took a break and is back so the rules shouldnt be too foreign to him like the groupme crowd. As usual he has 3 user games lined up starting with me, I'll help him with broken rules but if yal play him and think he needs to go its a players league, yal dont have to wait for me.. hopefully thats not the case tho. With Dan out and Ricky usually busy I wanted to give another guy a shot so we'll see

            What about the offset shotgun plays, are those a go now?

              #8 Florida vs #1 Miami

              Miami opened with a long drive that was solid and and ended with a short Mark Ryan td reception only to have Florida's back Xavier Coley break a 57 yard run and put the Gators on the board tying it at 7. Miami would put together another long drive that went into the 2nd quarter and gave them a 14-7 lead. The Gators would get stopped on 3rd and settle for a long fg that went wide left. After Miami stalled UF threw a pick and Miami's momentum grew from there. 4 total interceptions all to LBs, Miamis offense never "went off" but they never needed to. One of Florida's picks went for 7, the following play they threw another that Miami would later score on ending a short drive. Canes defense stepped up and shut down everything. Miami would stretch the lead to 30 in the 3rd quarter and call of the dogs.

              The Canes 2nd string got some time and we got see a little deeper into the depth chart as well as RS FR Potts who is 4th string now but expected to start next year if Wilkerson leaves got his feet wet. We also got our first look at RS FR Ward who like Potts is 4th on the depth chart now behind upper classmen but will play a large roll next year. Canes get a fg in the final quarter and the 2nd string gives up a td. 41-14 final. Biggest win in this rivalry since 2 decades ago in 2002 when Miami went to Gainesville and won 41-16 when Dorsey and McGahee were running the show. #1 team in the land looks impressive on opening night. Tulane is next up. #BeatFSU

                  Hey guys. Good day.

                  So since I've been out of the league, I've been playing my offline Dynasty. I've adjusted my play style to reflect more of a standard, almost CPU like play style. Specifically on defense. I used to do things like pinch my d-line. I believe those adjustments affected the AI in a negative way. I have implemented those rules and standards in my offline dynasty for a greater challenge.

                  Anyways, I spoke with Junior today. I feel like with the way I've changed and developed, allowing the CPU to play to their strengths... I feel like I'm ready to be an OSRivals Sim player.

                  Junior said he's okay with me re-joining the league, but it's completely up to you guys. So if you guys are okay with it, Junior said I can be back in.

                  No pressure, but just respond with your honesty thoughts. I truly enjoyed and respected this league, and that's why I've gone out of my way to try and re-join.

                  Hope you all have been well. Also I remember a while back, Breezy you got hurt before your competition.. I hope you are doing better now dawg.

                      Re: Rivals 2022-2023 Discussion

                      just to be clear he texted me this morning and asked and I said if yal want him in I'll let him in, so he needs to ask yal instead of me... it wasnt I want him in but I dont want to because Im not sure how yal would feel about it considering Im the one who pulled the plug after 3 seasons of bs and me getting cheated for an L lol.. just gotta make sure we're all on the same page

                      I dont put any one person before this league, never have. I'll call anybody out for bs.. Ive even give myself sanctions for little stuff because it looked bad.. Everybody has the same standard to meet here, either you're good for Rivals or youre not. I feel like Dan was a good fit as far as personality and write ups, and if he ever figured it out in game he would be perfect, minus them trash a** memes.. yal can decide if its worth adding him back or not

                            The game was over by halftime. D-line and Lb's played outstanding. Defense only gave up 106 rushing yds, which the Baylor coaches will take as win, especially against the triple option. True freshman Qb P,Morton looked good in his first start, outside of 2 throws that were both way of target, with one getting picked. 2nd and 3rd stringer's played the 4th quarter. Baylor beats GT 45-17. P.Morton 14/17 213yds 3 tds 1 int. E.Leach 19-118yds-1 td. N.Rhodes 4-71yds-1 td. B.Moore 7 tackles 3 tfl 58 yd FR returned for a td.
