MrRant 0 Report post Posted January 4, 2004 If you are starting low... start with say like a * team and get enough prestige and then you can move on to a higher team if you want. Be a man. Also.... get a running game going and the D will almost always bite on the Play Action. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest Salacious Crumb Report post Posted January 5, 2004 Man, I must have a dirty team or something. I've injuried 4 QBs in 7 games so far this season. 6-1 after a 38-14 win at Ball St. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Damaramu 0 Report post Posted January 5, 2004 I've bitch slapped all of my opponents. Only 2 opponents out of 7 have been able to score a single point on me. I've beaten my opponents by an average of 60 points a game. And I'm still ranked #2! Oh well......the AP recognizes and has me at #1. Damn Coaches and BCS.

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 5-0 so far, with home victories over #3 Oklahoma (31-28, won by a field goal with :54 left) in the second game of the season and #22 South Carolina (55-14 after the score was 17-14 at the half) just now. I'm playing All-American difficulty and seven minute quarters. South Carolina played HARD the first half and was actually shutting down my running game (something OU never did), but FOUR turnovers in the fourth quarter in your own territory leads to bad things like the other team scoring 31 in the final five minutes. Next up: A showdown with #7 Ohio State at Columbus. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 A 38-28 victory at Ohio State puts me up to only #20 in the AP Poll. It was obvious the game didn't want me to win, due to my EIGHT turnovers. Kinda ironic that an interception returned 90 yards for a touchdown with a minute remaining is what put the nail in the coffin when Ohio State was only down by three.

Ced 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 (edited) Team: San Jose State Spartans Prestige: * Difficulty: Heisman Playbook: Run N Gun 1st Season: 7-4 record thanks to the cupcakes on my schedule, but losing an overtime battle to Boise State and getting trounced by Fresno State, Hawaii and Virginia Tech (the team I selected to offset the cupcakes). No bowl game and ranked in around #50. Prestige goes up to **. 1st Off-Season Key Recruits: - A pocket QB with great precision, but terrible scrambling skills. - A fast as frick WR that's gone once he catches it. - The MLB that kills RBs dead if he finds the gap. 2nd Season: 11-2 record with a loss to a Miami team hellbent on murder. My star QB goes down in the Miami game for the season with 5 weeks left, but thanks to my speed WR and great plays by my defense, I go undefeated in my division, gaining me a spot in the Fort Worth Bowl, but I lose to Purdue via 1st half blowout. Prestige goes up to ***. 2nd Season Off-Season Key Recruits: - The #1 RB in the nation after four weeks worth of talks. Thankfully he just happened to be a California native and focusing on location and playing time reeled that bad boy in for the Spartans. - Some decent O-liners to protect my QB. - Two good defensive tackles to complement the 'Back Slayer at MLB. 3rd Season: 12-1 starting out the season right by upsetting last year's champions Oklahoma in the opening week with a last second field goal. That fuels the fire and we Run N Gun through the season and go to the Orange Bowl as the #1 seed. The #2 seed: Miami. Even with their starting RB out for the season and me killing a WR and defensive back during the game, I STILL job thanks to an ill-advised pass late in the fourth quarter deep in Hurricane territory, losing 14-20. SJSU finishes at #5 and prestige goes up to ****. Edited January 7, 2004 by CED Ordonez Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Art Sandusky 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 I just lost a BS game to #10 Georgia, dropping me down to #18 after being #16. So much for an undefeated season and a national championship game, unless everyone else melts down between now and then. I'll make a BCS game by winning the SEC (ideally), but this'll be my first non-title season in a while. When I was down 21-14 and thought I'd have a tie game soon after scoring a touchdown, my kicker decided to have a brainfart and miss the PAT despite me kicking it the same way I always do. It was 21-20 for a long time (during this time I drove down the field again only to have the suck-ass kicker miss a field goal) until I was driving yet AGAIN, and this time was on the Georgia 6 when a BS interception was made in the endzone and Georgia scored on an 80 yard bomb on their very first play. 28-20, no problem, just drive down again with my juggernaut of a running attack (they kept falling for the draw and my QB got about 60 yards of rushing by himself) and score with a two point conversion. I get down to the Georgia 8 this time before ANOTHER BS interception and this one is run back to the 40 or so. Georgia scores on a running play where somehow their runner squirted out the other side of the pile at the line of scrimmage and ran for a massive 50 yard gain followed by a pass play for Georgia to score a touchdown and make it 35-20. I had about a minute remaining, so it was possible to still win. I even managed to hook up with my star receiver (who was neglected all game due to the 300+ yard rushing day my offense was having) for a touchdown with :25 remaining. Georgia finally stops my running game when I need it most, and the two point conversion fails. 35-26, one timeout remaining, onside kick fails, game over. Next up: an unranked 4-3 Florida State squad comes to visit the Ravers at home. I can take some aggression out on the hated Seminoles. Since Underground University is located in Orlando, this and my later Florida game are RIVALRY GAMES~! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I mean, I had them PINNED in their own endzone for at least 10 minutes. Think I could capitilize on the three chances I got to retaliate in their endzone? No. Gr...

USC Wuz Robbed! 0 Report post Posted January 7, 2004 I started a dynasty for Cal... since they're getting no love for beating USC this year, I figured I might as well make them good. I skipped through the first year in hopes to make them worse, mission accomplished, as Cal finished dead last at 0-12. Now.... this is where the real fun starts.
