In a show of solidarity for a coach that has never lost to Michigan we are changing the team name for tomorrows match vs Black Dragons/Michigan Wolverines/Jim Harbough is God. Angus, good luck, sincerely, Friends of Urban Meyer.
Of course I still think he will lose his job in the next two weeks.

Ohio State caught in another scandle. What a surprise:roll eyes:
Its the price you pay for NCAA championships. All that matters is Winning:roll eyes:
Indignation is all we Michigan fans have left.:roll eyes:
Any how, Good bye Urban, don't let the door hit you in the ass. Bob Sotops is next up. Be careful what you wish for. I wonder what his fall from grace will be.

I think Bob Stoops really loves his life in Oklahoma. Besides OSU is going to spend millions to buy out Urban. I think they will go with an Interim Head Coach for this season. Who knows, maybe they bring back the funny little man in the sweater vest. They fired him for far less than the Urban Meyer mess.
BTW I do root for them when they are not playing your little brothers team. GO O-HI-O!!!!!

LOL The evil empire is about a 45 minute drive to our west in a city that I seldom venture into, Ann Arbor.
Congrats on the win today. My team is turning out to be a piece of garbage based on the last two game engines. I just do not have the time or patience to make the type of playbook necessary to avoid the lopsided penalties. I have just started buying up garbage players so I have enough guys on my roster to start a major rebuild. I am not leaving the game but I am not enjoying the game as much as I used to. Happy bidding everyone.

The old Chargers radio station down here always had Overreaction Monday (I think ESPN has it now too) during the football season. Don't you think this would qualify?

Your team is 1-1...you got spanked by Black Dragons, but I'm not so sure about firing all your coaches and selling off the team. If I did that every time angus slapped me around, I'd be division 6 or something.

Good luck with the rebuild!

I also dislike creating playbooks, the system is so clunky and counter intuitive. I like to keep some randomness in there to allow for quick shifts in formations and tactics, but its tricky to balance this.

I think the key to your problems was the over-reliance on the SG formations - Pete tweaked the game engine at the start of last season, and their dominance was heavily nerfed. Plus you had quite a few OOP players in your depth chart, which meant there were gaps that were exploitable (CB/SF for example). The OOP penalties mean that depth charts need to be somewhat more balanced now. I knew when I played you that if my team could be in touch at halftime we should prevail, as I was rotating fresh receivers against your tiring/oop secondary. (the playoff game went a bit wrong though and you killed us in the 1st half - my D didn't show up til halftime in that one)

Good luck with the rebuild though!

Thank you, I have been thinking about a rebuild since the end of last season. The building of the roster was always my favorite part of the game. I had IMO the ultimate team for the Season 27-29 game engine. I have some new ideas on some different player builds based on the new world order. I just need to take some time in the next 6-9 months to come up with a decent playbook.
PS I can not believe there is no one bidding on my starting QB Duffy, he is around 52 speed, 50 intel. As Steve would say "another track star on your squad?"

Duffy's salary is too high for me
