not unusually bad persuit. thompson is faster than 90% of the defenders in the game.

8/15/2011 6:05:49 AM

@HaLo- Should be around after 5:30 or so this afternoon

8/15/2011 8:26:25 AM

^^ I'll assume you're talking about the 91-yarder, and not the play where the defender was trotting down field in the wrong direction. The guy was making the right angle to cut me off well before the end zone. I was just about to stiff arm him when he suddenly slowed down, changed his angle, and fell in line behind Thompson. Same thing happened all the time in 09. Game is crap.

8/15/2011 1:09:50 PM

yeah, the logic on the game is retarded. The defenders still take poor pursuit angles and have major brain farts.

8/15/2011 1:11:42 PM

I'll be available at 630

8/15/2011 5:50:20 PM

8/15/2011 5:52:46 PM

i think i ragequit my CPU game last night, i can't remember, i was pretty hammered

8/15/2011 5:58:38 PM

I'm gonna rage throw this xbox out the window if it keeps flip flopping colors on me. It'll go really bright to dull to black and white and everything in between. It may be about to go all hey now on me.

8/15/2011 6:02:46 PM

i remember now why i quit, because i was down 7-0, but also because Arkansas' and South Carolina's uniforms look fucking identical

i'm about to quit this one, before even kicking off, to fix that shit

Arkansas is like "hey we're playing at SC? lets wear white pants and red/white jerseys just like SC!"

thats one of my biggest peeves about football or basketball video games...not enough contrast in uniforms

i'm going to just always run with their all-black alternates unless i play some other team with black unis

see, i just threw a pick 6, but i dont feel bad about it, because i can actually differentiate what team is what

8/15/2011 6:14:07 PM

Well I cut myself shaving and the game is in black and white. Oh joy

8/15/2011 6:29:55 PM

lets turn it up to heismann since you guys think the cpu is so bad

8/15/2011 6:46:14 PM

Garcia has thrown 3 picks in the first half, but luckily he's already hit Alshon for 3 TD passes

Arkansas is gameplanning for my normal offensive tendencies of running with Lattimore and passing to tight ends and slot receivers, so I'm burning them deep with Jeffery

lol 100 yard TD rush by Lattimore

[Edited on August 15, 2011 at 6:56 PM. Reason : .]

8/15/2011 6:49:03 PM

SC knocks off the higher ranked Razorbacks 41-14 as Jeffery has 5 catches for 160 and 3 scores, all in the 1st half. Lattimore adds 200+ rushing yards and somehow a 100-yard touchdown rush in the 2nd half. Backup halfback Miles adds a rushing touchdown with 13 seconds left in the game, but Spurrier insists his 2nd stringers should run the ball and not kneel it since Arkansas still has timeouts.

Alshon Jeffery's 3 touchdown receptions in the span of less than 7 minutes of 46, 45, and 46 yards earn him player of the game honors, making Stephen Garcia's 10/23 3TD/4INT performance look better than his shitty game actually was. But he did look better than Arkansas' QB Tyler Wilson who was 12/23 for 126 yards, 1 TD and 3 INTs.

8/15/2011 7:25:45 PM

gg Halo. Hopefully you got to upload the results because mine froze on a failed to upload screen

8/15/2011 7:29:18 PM

So the only user game has been played? Let's finish this week up quick. I'm ready to fuck up Miami.

8/15/2011 7:32:31 PM

video highlights should be uploaded in an hour or two (currently uploading)

i do like how if you create a highlight and keep selecting broadcast cameras, you'll get a lot of different looks, which can help give better perspective to plays sometimes than wire or pressbox...especially deep passing plays where the default cameras show a closeup of the ball high in the air for half the video, with no clue of whats going on with the players on the field

i was trying to save one highlight where the halfback tries to hurdle a fallen defender near the line, and my linebacker grabs him in mid air and powerslams him, but it wasnt available postgame because it was a C grade for the offense and defense

8/15/2011 7:38:17 PM

permission to hang a century on UNC next week

8/15/2011 7:44:17 PM

go for it

8/15/2011 7:45:17 PM

side note, I think my controller is wonky. Kept telling me to reconnect and not sure if the controller was what resulted in the int on the screen play or the qb had a brain fart. Instead of throwing to the HB which I was mashing the button for, he throws it back across his body to the other side of the field resulting in an int.

8/15/2011 7:46:04 PM

Its official. Improbably Kentucky is 10-0 locking up a spot in the ACC championship game likely vs Florida State. Sorry Miami.

8/15/2011 9:23:43 PM

I'll be able to get my game in tomorrow night.... It would be nice, if we could advance by Wednesday morning, so I can go ahead and get next week's game in before I leave town again

8/15/2011 10:41:00 PM

only people remaining to play this week are ^DalCowboys, wilso and guitarguy

a few other haven't recruited

if you three can get your games in tonight, i will advance the league late night

^also next week you play iceman72 so yall are gonna have to coordinate that one

4 teams have byes next week, 2 user vs. user games

8/16/2011 4:27:55 PM

I'll get my game in soon

8/16/2011 5:00:06 PM

How'sabout a Wednesday deadline this week

Four days is more than enough time when everyone is playing the CPU

8/16/2011 5:43:48 PM

I'll get my game on after dinner fo sho

8/16/2011 6:09:11 PM

Gonna play mine then do recruiting

8/16/2011 8:08:32 PM

I love when the game freezes...luckily it was only 2nd qtr

8/16/2011 9:09:44 PM

^you must have a faulty 360

according to The E Man, the game simply does not freeze, ever

8/16/2011 9:14:06 PM

Yeah I just saw that I play iceman next week. Iceman can you do either Wednesday or Thursday (late).... I would rather play Wednesday after 9 or so let me know. If we can't do that I won't be back until Sunday night

8/16/2011 11:01:39 PM

everyone has played their games, 5 teams havent done recruiting (i need a list of people who auto-recruit cause i always forget)

i'll advance at about 12:30 tonight if nobody tells me they want to do their recruiting manually, seems like a good call based on DalCowboys' schedule in the upcoming days, and hey now gave me the green light

8/16/2011 11:54:18 PM

did i recruit?

8/16/2011 11:56:22 PM

sweet

8/17/2011 12:02:21 AM

not sure, can you login and check? i'll be a gentleman and quit my RTG game i'm getting before advancing (at the coin toss) and let you know

8/17/2011 12:02:42 AM

i can check

8/17/2011 12:04:01 AM

5 people who havent recruited (aren't set to 'Ready'):

pttyndal, HaLo, iceman72, guitarguy, Slave Famous

for future note, if you are going to auto-recruit, please set your status to 'Ready' after finishing your game

for manual recruiters, please try to do your recruiting before or after your game, just to avoid some uncertainty by my short-term memory ass when advancing

[Edited on August 17, 2011 at 12:06 AM. Reason : thanks]

8/17/2011 12:06:16 AM

I wish there was a way to search just for juco guys. Just noticed I'm losing everything on defense and needed to get more instant impact guys on d. The backups are coming back so a lot of positions dont show a need but are a need or the backups are good but don't really fit my style.

[Edited on August 17, 2011 at 12:15 AM. Reason : losing 7 or 8 award finalists on defense]

8/17/2011 12:13:35 AM

Time to work out all the kinks and beat unc by a bunch before the BIGGEST game/test/shootout of the season. Two of the hottest and probably the top two passing teams facing off next week when Bray comes to town.

8/17/2011 12:35:58 AM

bout to advance

TWW rules the 5-9 spots in the Coaches poll, with WVU, UK, FSU, SC, and TENN being ranked 5,6,7,8,9. Media poll shits on FSU and moves them to 9 with SC and TENN moving ahead of them. BCS is identical to Media Poll, with WVU, UK, SC, TENN, FSU in 5-9.

Redd still first in Heisman rankings, Mustafa moved into the 2nd spot while Alston fell to 3rd, Thompson moved into 4th for FSU after a 348 yard 5 TD performance versus BC

Award Semifinalists from the TWW conference conglomerate include Redd (PSU) in 1st for the Maxwell, Camp, and Doak Walker awards, and Jackson (TENN) in 1st for the Bednarik, Nagurski, and Lombardi honors

8/17/2011 12:57:50 AM

lost 2 recruits to hard scholarships at Troy this week o_0

8/17/2011 1:05:31 AM

^^what about my guys in 1st in the wr and db awards (forgot the names)

Also this is the longest i've ever seen more than one computer team undefeated this late in the season. next time we've gotta make sure all the good teams get scheduled vs a user or 2 to ensure the championship is a user game. There are 4 cpu undefeated teams with 5 users behind them .

If I were a betting man I would still pick WVU to win it all at this point. Kentucky will probably fall to Tenn or FSU. Sooner or later, the fumbles are going to hit us before we get up a lead and we have no idea what playing from behind is

[Edited on August 17, 2011 at 1:28 AM. Reason : what is trailing?]

Quote :

"what about my guys in 1st in the wr and db awards"

the only 2 players i mentioned were in 1st place for three different awards each

so basically, the same reason i didn't venture past the top-10 in each of the three polls

8/17/2011 1:30:41 AM

Tennessee beat the crap out of south Carolina on the road nonetheless.

How are they ahead if me

8/17/2011 6:52:50 AM

anybody else unable to connect to XBL?

8/17/2011 3:14:10 PM

Tonight, Miami?

8/17/2011 4:15:13 PM

Yes. tonight. Let me know when is good for you.


why is Miami not ranked? I beat the 22nd, and 25th ranked teams.

[Edited on August 17, 2011 at 6:37 PM. Reason : bullshit]

8/17/2011 6:32:07 PM

8:30 or so works for me

8/17/2011 6:46:17 PM

EST?

8/17/2011 6:50:50 PM

Yeah, 1:40 from now

8/17/2011 6:53:23 PM
