I didn't run up the score

You seem to be unhappy about one touchdown (I even missed the XP!)

Is six points running up the score? Were the other scores not legit?

Maybe if you hadn't gone for the onside down four scores (questionable), you wouldn't have put me at the 40.

You gave me great field position on two drives and I scored. On another, I got lucky and broke a big run. I don't see anything unsportsmanlike. I ran and ran and ran and you couldn't stop it. No cheesing, no exploiting. Tough cookies, bro.

lol at comparing this to the EMU game

I scored 80 that game, 11 TDs for Pryor

I beat you without Pryor for almost three quarters and without Saine for nearly a full quarter. I ran the ball the entire game, hurried up once, ran the ball once with my QB.

first of all, when i'm down 4 scores with 5 minutes to go, theres nothing questionable about the onsides kick...there is absolutely no way i'll have enough time to come back if i don't recover at least 2 onsides kicks...so quit dwelling on that

and second, its not about a 6 point difference in the score margin, its about you not giving a shit about sportsmanship, and then continuing to be in complete denial about it like you did nothing wrong

Quote :

"I beat you without Pryor for almost three quarters"

big fucking whoop, Newsome went out from injury before Pryor...and your fucking white backup QB's speed must be a 90

is that including the fake field goal and the scrambles, or just the one option play?

8/22/2010 4:37:08 PM

One run is unsportsmanlike as fuck

Going for it on fourth down from your own 29 on your second drive happens every game

You weren't going to comeback down 28 if you recovered every onside kick

I don't see most coaches kicking onside in that situation. I wouldn't. I kick it long, let the other team run it and kill the clock. I don't risk giving them the ball in scoring position.

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 4:39 PM. Reason : His speed is ~70? Not sure where you get that, he left the pocket once, picked up three yards maybe]

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 4:40 PM. Reason : QB Bauserman: 4 rush, -3 yd, long of 4 yds. The fake FG was a response to you going for it on 4th]

8/22/2010 4:38:55 PM

he had 4 rushing attempts, and i only had 1 sack, so he ran it three times

oh the irony

8/22/2010 4:42:14 PM

And he never picked up more than 4 yards. One was the FG fake. With the sack, you're looking at rushes of 4, and probably 2 or three yards. 90 speed! Abusing the system!

Quote :

"oh the irony"

Dude, I realize your pussy aches cause you got beat, but you're letting that cloud your judgement. I ran the ball the ball twice as much as I have in any other game, and the entire second half. I broke one big run. I started chewing clock in the third. I did everything I could to shorten the game.

8/22/2010 4:43:49 PM

i did nothing unsportsmanlike! you wont convince me i did!

8/22/2010 4:45:38 PM

I agree with that statement

8/22/2010 4:46:22 PM

i wasnt mad that i got beat, i accepted that late in the 3rd quarter...i accepted that when i was down 35-0...i figured i was probably out of it at halftime...i had already lost 3 games...its not killing my national title hopes, and you're a better team and you outplayed me throughout the game...frankly with the way you were playing defense, i'm kind of surprised i was able to score two TDs

i'm mad that you played like a bitch in the 4th, which you did...i'm not mad i lost, i'm just mad at how you handled the late 4th quarter...the game was well in hand, i wasnt calling timeouts, because i knew it was over, yet you're calling 1st quarter strategy audibles when the game is in hand and you basically only needed one more first down to run out the clock and the end game

you can feel free to stay in denial all you want, i'd like to see what the rest of the league thinks

8/22/2010 4:50:20 PM

So, to reiterate, you are mad because I called one audible to avoid a loss, got a big run out of it. You're mad because of one score that was totally legit? That one score makes the entire fourth quarter of inside rushes and clock chewing unsportsmanlike? Just want to make sure we're on the same page.

I can't wait for the rest of the league to see the score, you mad, fail to read any of this, and think I EMU'd you

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 4:54 PM. Reason : ]

8/22/2010 4:53:23 PM

I don't think the rest of the league will agree that running up the score while up 5 TDs is "totally legit"

and most of your inside runs had gained positive yards...i don't know why you keep implying it was a sure 5 yard loss when i hadn't been able to stop you all day...I guess thats part of your justification that you played totally legit

8/22/2010 4:56:04 PM

I'll take note of that

Next time I unintentionally break a big run, I'll dive at the 50 so as to keep the clock running, the points out of the board, and the sand out of my opponent's vagina

--

Looking at the reply, I see four defenders where the called run was going, plus you pre-snapped called rush right, at least it looks that way after the fact. I didn't have a full back to lead, Saine would have been toast.

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 4:59 PM. Reason : ]

8/22/2010 4:57:29 PM

i hate those unintentional audibles

8/22/2010 4:58:00 PM

Dude, I didn't call that expecting 89 yards. Saine hasn't had anything close to that all season

8/22/2010 4:59:45 PM

Quote :

"I didn't have a full back to lead"

thats odd, i'd figure you'd be in some type of goalline or power set, since you were just trying to run out the clock

8/22/2010 5:02:23 PM

Why? As you mentioned, my one-back rushing had been working all game. haha Don't try to act like I was running up the score by not lining up in a goal line set.

I'm done here. I've presented my side of the argument, and don't give a fuck what people who didnt' see the game think. I played fair, just like in my other user games. You got beat because the 20 drop HB screen and TE post or seam route you ran every other down didn't work. I got lucky on a big run, played fair as fuck all game. All without my Heisman QB.

I'm going to eat a cheeseburger, see you next season.

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 5:06 PM. Reason : ]

8/22/2010 5:04:09 PM

i just quit caring what defensive sets i called with about 2:30 to go because i figured inside run, milk the clock...i didn't think i'd have to worry about you doing anything other than that...maybe thats my fault for not picking each defensive playcall based on your formation that late into the game...i guess it is my fault for assuming you'd play with good sportsmanship, so i'll take the loss

still wonder what the rest of the league thinks

Quote :

"don't give a fuck what people who didnt' see the game think"

kinda like how you don't give a fuck what #5 says in the OP

8/22/2010 5:07:45 PM

Hey, I'm back

Tell me again how one rushing touchdown is running up the score

If there's something else, I'd love to hear it

But if you're just going to cry about something that didn't happen, cheesburger time

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 5:15 PM. Reason : ]

8/22/2010 5:10:14 PM

good thing you didn't stop playing O until there was 1 minute left...wouldn't want that inevitable 5 yard loss to cost you the game

8/22/2010 5:13:29 PM

haha of course I'm not going to stop playing. Is that what you want? Want me to just kneel every down in the fourth since I'm in no risk of losing? I'm not going to try to run up the score (I didn't), but I'm not going to stop playing.

But just the one lucky score then? Nothing else? You're honestly saying I ran it up because of one rushing TD?

8/22/2010 5:14:51 PM

you're honestly still in denial that you ran up the score? well i've said all i can, i'll let the rest of the league chime in...maybe they can convince you that breaking off an 89 run to the outside while up 35 with 2 minutes left in the game is running up the score

8/22/2010 5:16:17 PM

Tell me what I did, man

I'm not being a dick here

You're unhappy about the rushing TD. I get that, but I don't see how it was unsportsmanlike.

If there was something else, say it. I want to know what else I did that you think was unfair.

Quote :

"for our purposes, defeating your opponent by 35 points or more is excessive."

you were up 35 before that run

there were 2 minutes left

you were playing a human opponent

you had just crushed any possible chances of me winning by forcing a fumble in the red zone

the game was basically over

does any of this make any sense to you

8/22/2010 5:19:14 PM

I'll say it again

I wasn't trying to get a big run, but once I got in the open field, do expect me to just take a dive?

You already said that you stopped playing D, and somehow you are upset over a defensive lapse on a legit play call. This is confusing to me.

8/22/2010 5:20:34 PM

i stopped playing D because i expected anyone up 35 with 2 minutes left to run up the middle for 3 yards and a cloud of dust and run out the clock

if you had run up the middle and gotten in the open field, which you had successfully done multiple times in the game, that would be different

8/22/2010 5:21:27 PM

You mean like I did on every play except that one from midway through the third on? It's not like I was running every play outside. I ran one. And it's not like was turning inside runs to the outside to take advantage of the AI. I got lucky on one run. That's it, man. Had I expected there to be an inch of daylight on the original call I wouldn't have audibled out. But I'm not going to run into five defenders and take a loss. Why would I want to do that? Under what situation would any coach ever stick with a play that is a sure loss?

8/22/2010 5:23:58 PM

Quote :

"Under what situation would any coach ever stick with a play that is a sure loss?"

how about kneeling the ball

although you had been running all over me all day...not sure how you're so certain it was a sure 5 yard loss when i hadn't been able to stop your running attack all game

8/22/2010 5:25:05 PM

You want me to kneel the ball? On my own 11? With two minutes? And my opponent has all three timeouts?

Yeah lemme kneel it three times and kick out of my own endzone

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 5:27 PM. Reason : five yard loss, one yard loss, whatever, Saine was sitting dead on that play]

8/22/2010 5:26:11 PM

did you notice that i wasn't calling timeouts and ever think to yourself "well i guess he's given up on this game and just wants me to run out the clock"

you couldve run to the inside, and punted it to me with about 50 seconds left

although you probably couldve just run to the inside, got the 1st down, then knelt it and won

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 5:30 PM. Reason : Saine was sitting dead on other plays and busted through the defense for a huge gain]

8/22/2010 5:27:56 PM

That was first down, so no I didn't notice you weren't calling timeouts, you hadn't had a chance to call a timeout. Same reason I ran before kneeling at the end. Just making sure you weren't going to call TOs. Seems like a perfectly plausible decision considering your aggression in going for it on fourth in the first quarter and onside kicking down 28.

Quote :

"although you probably couldve just run to the inside, got the 1st down, then knelt it and won "

This was my intent. Both with the original call and the audible. Never intended to go all the way. If it were a pass or an option or a QB scramble, or if I'd bounced one like Clay, you'd have a case.

thats retarded...you got the ball back with a minute left at midfield...what possible reason could there be to run and not kneel it while up 42 points with 1 minute left

8/22/2010 5:33:33 PM

What possible reason could there be to go for it on 4th in the first quarter from your own 29?

You had three TOs, as soon as I saw you weren't going to use them -- which, as I mentioned above, your aggression lead me to believe that was possible -- I took a knee.

[Edited on August 22, 2010 at 5:36 PM. Reason : Peace, tree]

8/22/2010 5:35:40 PM

it was 4th and 1...it was a bad decision in hindsight, and yeah it was aggressive...i dont think it was unsportsmanlike though, since it was only 4th and 1, and I ran it out of a goaline set so its not like you came out with a punt return team and I ran some trickery...I tried a risky QB sneak and you stuffed it...and when I called it I considered trying to draw you offsides and if I couldnt call a timeout and punt, but I was able to run the ball well early on, so I took a chance, and you stuffed the run

the onsides kicks while down 28 in the 4th quarter were aggressive, but its because i was down by 4 scores with 5 minutes left and it was literally my only chance to come back...those were completely legit, since i was down 4 TDs in the 4th...i mightve kicked off long if i had 12 timeouts, but i only had 3, and i hadnt been able to stop you all day long

did you not notice that i didn't call any timeouts on the previous drive either? the game was over, i was giving up, it seemed pretty obvious to me

8/22/2010 5:38:38 PM

I didn't think the fourth down or onsides were unsportsmanlike, just not smart plays, not the way I would have played is all.

Previous drive was what 3:30 left? Wouldn't have expected you to use your timeouts there

This really wouldn't have been an issue if I hadn't dicked EMU (even though others have done nearly as bad against CPU). All my human games have been fair as fuck, including this one. If people want to look at the score and see that you're upset and not read that it's all over one rushing play, whatev. Never mind that USC just won by the exact same score, throwing TDs with Barkley in the fourth.

Seriously, though, gotta run. Bad mouth me when I'm gone.

8/22/2010 5:43:56 PM

You whooped my ass fair and square, you outplayed me

But I disagree with your game management late in the 4th

8/22/2010 5:46:42 PM

No. 1 USC continues to roll - defeats Arizona 55-15.

8/22/2010 6:47:14 PM

I step away for a few hours and a catfight breaks out

I'll say this...Ernie is a better player than I'd thought he'd bed, but you really can't tell if its more him or more the team he's playing with

Transitive property of football...Ernie and I played one of the closest games I've ever played on this game, Ernie rapes TT with no condom, and TT and I have basically split the 4 or 5 games we've played outside of this dynasty

As far as sportsmanship, I'll say what I did when Iowa complained after I beat him...bitching about sportsmanship when you're losing by five plus touchdowns just makes it look like sour grapes

8/22/2010 7:40:42 PM

Man, we could have avoided this if Tree would have just said this

8/22/2010 8:06:27 PM

let me just point out that this was in the "fuck you faggot" post:

"i had no problem with you beating my ass for the first 3 quarters, but you took it too far"

so basically i did say that from the get-go...although i could've worded it a little more tactfully

you play the game, you enjoy the win or get mad at the loss, and you move on
