UMASS

Washington (georgesgoons)- asshole blocked me on aim, so I get the automatic simmy win.
Indiana (peay)- win, won't be close
Houston (randawg)- loss, won't be close
UCF (AJ)- BIG RUN all day long AJ. Won our only other meeting, caused 3 years of AJ hate. Getting 3 more, WIN
Bowling Green (Baker)- toss up, but I think I can take him. win
Miami-OH (Hart)- hes rusty, no chance he has the stick skills, plus Canadian... roughly a tamer version of nick. win
Buffalo (autiger)- Only homer left (RIP Feisty) who can give jsence a run for his money, win!
Western Michigan (cdub)- solid player, will be tough, loss
Northern Illinois (uf#####)- loss, i'll get 35'd
Akron (mcx)- of note, im 5-0 vs him lifetime, only guy who ive played more than twice I can say that about. WIN
Central Michigan (oldschoola)- this has simmy written all over it, WIN
Ohio (bigry)- probably a loss, gonna give him the benefit of the doubt.

Final record- 8-4

Coach chuskerpride came in to Purdue last season and had what is considered a successful one with a 5-7 record.
They were only 1 game away from making a potential bowl bid.
Coach Niddler comes in to replace him and gives us some honest feeback regarding his expectations of the upcoming season.

Week 1: at Washington - GeorgesGoons
We wanted to start the season off with an OOC game against one of the most straight up coaches I know in George. A good team and good coach. They struggled last season going 5-7 and Coach Niddler hopes they will struggle in this game and the Boilermakers can pull out the upset.

Week 2: Bye Week

Week 3: vs. Notre Dame Fighting Irish- wj5811. The first of our rivalry games. He is a great coach, with a good team and knows them well. They finished the season ranked #5 in the Nation last year. We do not stand a chance in this one!

Week 4: at Wisconsin Badgers - plasma
This is a very good matchup. The Badgers have the edge being rated a B+ team and coach plasma and I have had some good games in the past. This one really could go either way. I think that the Badgers offense will have too much for the Boilermakers Defense, but we will see Week 4.

Week 5: at Miami (FL) - sammy33
Another game against a good coach with a good team.
While ThaU did not finish last year ranked in the top 25, they are definitely a top 25 caliber team with an A- Rating. We expect to lose this game.

Week 6: Bye Week

Week 7: vs. Nebraska Cornhuskers - bigred
A good coach and a pretty good team. They are rated slightly better than us, which means we hope to keep this one close, but in reality, we see the Cornhuskers proving to be too much for the Boilermakers this season.

Week 8: at Michigan State Spartans - weasel
Another matchup against a good team and a good coach. They finished last season ranked #16 in the Nation.
We expect to lose this game.

Week 9: at Arkansas - Twistanutz22
A good team and a good coach means we will lose this one by a big margin. They finished last season ranked #6 in the Nation! We expect to lose this one.

Week 10: vs. Ohio State Buckeyes - talented3
It is going to feel so bad beating up on my Buckeyes! Who the hell am I kidding. The Buckeyes are way too good in this game for the Boilermakers to compete. We expect to get stomped by a good coach and a great team!

Week 11: vs. Iowa Hawkeyes - wittness10
Coach wittness comes in to a Hawkeye team that went 4-8 last season. They have a slightly better rating than we do this season. These teams matchup well and this one should be a good game and I see it coming down to the 4th quarter.

Week 12: at Penn State Nittany Lions - doc1424
What can you say about Coach doc, except he exudes class! He went 9-5 with Eastern Michigan last season. Both of these teams are rated an 84-B and we look for this game to be a dog fight! This one can and will go either way and will take 4 quarters to be decided.

Week 13: vs. Illinois Fighting Illini - brwnbear
I don't know much about brwnbear except that he has 2 alter ego's actually.
1 brwndick (The draft room last night) and 2 blackbear (OOTP)
He has went 4-8 and 3-9 the last 4 seasons at Illinois.
This game should be another dog fight that will take 4 quarters to decide. This one could go either way.

Week 14: at Indiana Hoosiers - peay
We end the season against our other rival team, Indiana. This game could go either way with the Hoosiers coach Peay knowing his team well after coaching them for the past 9 seasons. The last 3 seasons he has went 7-6 which is pretty impressive in the B1G!


We expect to go 3-9 with a very tough schedule ahead of us!
Good luck to all of my opponents this season.

WK1 vs. #10 Oklahoma State Cowboys
SuperJakeB - Been consistently in the Top 10 the past few seasons. Played in the BCS NC game 2 seasons ago. I beat him that season. I will again! W

WK2 at Georgia State Panthers
Easportsbama - never played him that I can remember. But he was looking for games and I was hoping for a game I have a chance in. Even though he's a D team he'll keep it close but I think I pull it out W

WK3 vs. South Alabama Jaguars
mbyrd75 - Scares me when these guys with low, low, low rated teams come looking for me. I know I've played him before but can't remember how it turned out. My guess would be I lost. But I've got to have faith....right? W

WK4 at #3 Florida Gators
Daw1git - Not a chance. Besides, I think he's a little upset with me. I get 35'ed. L

WK6 vs. #11 Georgia Bulldogs
ChampDizzle - There's a theme starting here. 21'ed L

WK7 vs. #5 Notre Dame Fighting Irish
wj5811 - Again, no chance. 35'ed L

WK8 vs. #9 South Carolina Gamecocks
Steamrollr22 - I beat the Gamecocks two seasons ago at USC. Can't remember if Steamrollr was the coach though... L

WK9 at #1 Alabama Crimson Tide
BFiVL - Next L

WK10 at Missouri Tigers
LytezOut - Never played LytezOut. Probably will have wished it had stayed that way. L

WK11 vs. Auburn Tigers
matt32 - It's at Neyland and I've got to pick up a W somewhere. Do I dare dream? No. L

WK13 vs. Vanderbilt Commodores
fsupenguin - This MF'er....screwed it all up for me. Had to go and pick Vandy. The one team I knew I could take in the SEC. Thanks for nothing. L

WK14 at Kentucky Wildcats
jsence2 - If we were at Tennessee I'd say I get this game, unfortunately it's at Commonwealth. Blanked in the SEC L

3-9 for the season...again.

Okay, I'm sure there's some guys out there with a little bit tougher schedule but c'mon, c'mon. I deserved having Georgia Southern and South Alabama on my schedule (although we all know those are no where near guaranteed W's for me ) Even the weaker schools in the SEC have big time coaches at them. Win goal of 3 baby!

5-7

Week 1 - @Miami U - Annual rivalry game with Sammy, I think things will go back to normal this year with him kicking my shit in.
Week 2 - Bye
Week 3 - LSU - Running it back for another budding rivalry. Had a good game with him last year while he was at OU, could go either way.
Week 4 - Arizona St. - Don't know much about Anderlin, but he was in the Top 25 last year, so no sleeping this one
Week 5 - @WSU - This'll be the 4th go around with Coach Coug, he came close on me last year, so I gotta stay alert
Week 6 - Washington - Another year, another matchup with an NDL CO brethren! Pretty sure this year is gonna be much tougher.
Week 7 - @Utah - Duked it out with Michael when he was at Cal, less pressure to win now that he's not at the rival, but still need to be wary playing in mormonville
Week 8 - UCLA - Pretty sure i'm getting taken out to the woodshed this year by the old Mac and Cheese game.
Week 9 - @Oregon St. - Another run with Kdog, I believe this will be our 4th meeting also. Oregon St is much better this year than the last so it could go either way.
Week 10 - BYE
Week 11 - Oregon - I'm winless against 6ft. Don't see that changing this year by some miracle.
Wekk 12 - @USC - Also winless against Dealer, but I plan to make it much more competitive than G Tech v. Miami.
Week 13 - Cal - Don't know too much about Gambit, but it's a rival game, so I gotta put in work!
Week 14 - ND - This will be a bit more even than last year's matchups, which i managed to sneak one off WJ somehow. It's a rival game, so I gotta take advantage of the fact thati 'm not in South bend this season.

hardest schedule ever but harder

I might have the most brutal schedule in the league....but I know I have the most brutal three-week stretch of any team (just like real life). My win goal is 1

Week 1: Bye (woohoo!)

Week 2: Kansas (Beefy)--we usually play each other tough, but with the game at my stadium, I might have a chance. WIN

Week 3: Louisville (Razorbacks)--real life, we might have a shot. On the virtual gridiron....not a chance. LOSS

Week 4: Washington (George)--an annual rivalry, usually our games are pretty close and could go either way. However, his team has a distinct advantage this year. LOSS

Week 5: Florida (Daw1Git)--a few seasons ago, we recorded the only win over Florida in this series, which has been played every season. That will remain the lone win. LOSS

Week 6: @ South Carolina (Steamrollr)--Forget a win on the scoreboard. If I don't get shut out against this defense, I'll consider it a moral victory. LOSS

Week 7: Alabama (Biffy)--Yeah....if I'm not down 35-0 by halftime, I'll consider that a moral victory. Last meeting, Biffy was up 31-0. After 1 quarter. LOSS

Week 8: UL-Monroe (Seeit)--Holy crap, if we haven't deleted the game off the HDD after that stretch, I'll finally get win #2!!! WIN

Week 9: Miss St (Outrage)--Another team where, in real life, we have a chance, but not here. Should keep it somewhat close though. LOSS

Week 10: Bye--Hey, we didn't lose this week!!!

Week 11: Missouri (Lytezout)--Another good coach with more talent than what I have, a bad combo for me. LOSS

Week 12: Vanderbilt (FSUpengy)--Had another coach taken Vandy, would've called this a win. I doubt I'll beat Pengy w UK. LOSS

Week 13: Georgia (Champ)--yeah...LOSS

Week 14: Tennessee (Wasted)--Another game I think we can win in real life....however, Wasted and I have great games, and w me being at home, I think I can pull it out. WIN

Final Prediction: 3-9....just holding on until the talent level goes up on College Football 15.

Cool guys in my conference

I am very happy about my EMU team and schedule.

I hope to beat 2 out of the 4 above OOC but thats a stretch with this squad.

But damn I look good in green. Might start a dynasty here.

Week 1
vs. #21 Buffalo Bulls - autiger730 - A seasonal rivalry that is always a close tough game. Don't expect anything different in maybe the most even match-up we have ever had. I say this will be a loss but it will be close. LOSS

Week 2
at Toledo Rockets -Bernie32 - A pretty even match-up but I think i can create an upset. Turnovers will be key in this! WIN

Week 3
at Kent State Golden Flashes - phreakk - He lives 5-10 mins from me so HOPEFULLY we can meet up and play this live and maybe even stream it so everyone can see it. Everyone will want to see D. Archer shred San Jose St apart. LOSS

Week 4
vs. Illinois Fighting Illini - brwnbear - Always a good game that i look forward to. I think Illinois wins a close one. I say a late turnover sinks me. LOSS

Week 5
vs. Utah State Aggies - BigStimpin - I think that Stimpin will kick my ass so I say this is another loss lol. LOSS

Week 6
at Hawaii Warriors - gobucks95 - A rivalry for San Jose St and a game I think I can win. I think my team will show up for this one. WIN

Week 7
at #13 Colorado State Rams - shel311 - I'm going vs Shel. I could use Alabama and still lose vs him lol LOSS

Week 8
BYE WEEK - Yey a break from losing haha

Week 9
vs. Wyoming Cowboys - knappy83 - I love the uniforms but I think I will squeak out a win. WIN

Week 10
at UNLV Rebels - tig5165 - Tig your going down lol I just want to beat the Rebels don't take it personal haha. WIN

Week 11
vs. #23 San Diego State Aztecs - JustGiver31 - One of the games I am really looking forward to. I love playing against JustGiver, he is a fellow Cowboys fan and we have played a lot vs each other. One of the classiest coaches in the league. Plus this is a rivalry game! This is going to be an intense game but I think i win by a late FG. WIN

Week 12
at #19 Nevada Wolf Pack - tball275 - I havent faced tball much but Nevada looks tough this year so I am probably going to lose. LOSS

Week 13
BYE WEEK - a late season break....much needed!

Week 14
vs. Fresno State Bulldogs - mtwasik - And the main reason why i took this team.....so i can ruin Mtwasik's chances of winning the division lol Your going down!!!! I think I win by 28 but as I am dreaming, I wake up and find I am down 28 in the 1st quarter haha LOSS

Your guess is as good as mine this season. I see a lot of toss up games on my schedule, so this will be a very interesting year for the Arkansas Razorbacks! I am just hoping to keep my head above water and achieve my win goal . I am only favored in 2 of my games this season.

Everything is always so dramatic with you.
You either have the best or worst of everything!

I can say this, if you have a few wins on your schedule, you do not have the most brutal.
I am not saying that I do either.

Just funny how it is always something with you.

Here's the schedule for Iowa State. Needless to say, with a win goal of one, I'm just hoping to pull off an upset.

Week 4: Bye Week
Week 5: vs. Vanderbilt Commodores
Week 6: vs. Texas Longhorns

Week 10: at Kansas State Wildcats
Week 11: vs. TCU Horned Frogs
Week 12: at Oklahoma Sooners

You have 3 of the 9 highest winning coaches in league history; two coaches with national titles and a third who was runner-up; 3 NDL cup champions, and 3 coach of the years. But it's ok....apparently saying "I might have" is me saying "I do have", thus I'm being dramatic.
