Lol, thanks Urbs. Hopefully I can represent the Big 12 well in the NC. I'm sure you'll get a BCS bowl too so if we both win that's a lot of money for us and the conference. lol. Too bad we won't ever be able to play for the Big 12 championship. Whoever losses that game very well could only have that one loss and get screwed every time. Maybe somethin crazy will happen one of these seasons and we'll meet again in the NC lol.

Congrats Joker!! A.J. Green won the Heisman.

I just beat Mich St. 35-10. I'll do my write up when I wake up. I gotta get some sleep.

Emerald bowl for a top 10 finish. Sweet

CT, I'm off today, so let me know if you have time and when.

Nice, Green was huge for me all year. He even got you a couple of times in the SEC Champ game.

I'm disappointed I don't get a user in a bowl game though. Oh well.

grats Joker.

I guess my loss to #1 team cost Young the heisman... as he had 7 more TDs and 600 more yards /shrug

Corso and Herbie's picks for the Bowl games are interesting. They have me over Wisconsin, pick Louisana-Lafayette over Virginia Tech, and a lot of other wacky picks.

I looked over them and they both always pick whichever team is listed first (ex. UL Lafayette vs. Virginia Tech, Kansas vs. Wisconsin). I never really paid too much attention to who they pick because it seems the logic is broken but I just thought it was funny some of the picks they made based on who was listed first.

Georgia loses a tough one to west virginia 38-34. Great game, I'd do a sweet write up if I wasn't so frustrated with the fact that on my last 2 drives my receivers (one being Green) had easy drops that would have given me first downs but instead made me punt or turn it over.

Nevermind of course there is no replay available for either play. Anyways luckily Devine got hurt (15 carries, 170 yards and a TD before he did) or else I woulda gotten blown out. Great game, it's just bullshit that onback to back drives, on 3rd down and 4th down respectively, King and Green drop passes when they are so open. It wasn't like they were dropped cause it was a bad pass or cause they were hit, no, there was no one around them and they dropped them. whatever though, I actually enjoyed a challenge from the Comp for once, hope Iget more games like that next year.

Have you seen Kid play with VA Tech this year? That Louisiana- Lafayette pick ain't so far fetched lol. (Got ya Kid) And we all know what you can do. I'd say the game with you and stop is 50/50 as to who can win it. I'd say there's nothing wrong with the logic. It's their opinion and you can't have a wrong opinion lol.

Auburn Finishes Season on a High Note
Auburn dominates Michigan St. in the Capital One Bowl.

At the beginning of the season, Auburn was hoping they'd be playing in a New Years Day or later bowl game. They got their wish, but not what they were expecting. Auburn gladly accepted their invite to the Capital One Bowl and put up a performance that would have been worthy of one of those "other" bowls.

Auburn dominated Michigan St in all phases of the game in their 35-10 win. They only had 154 yds rushing and only 184 yds passing, but that's all they needed to dominate Mich St. Auburn's defense shined as well holding Michigan St to 3 points until garbage time when Michigan St got a late TD. They also had 2 pick 6's which is one reason the offense wasn't needed as much.

The victory was bittersweet though. Sophomore tailback left the game with a broken vertebrae. He was listed as out for the season after the game. Luckily for coach splff3000, this was the last game of the season and equally lucky for him is the fact that this is just a video game so McCalebb should be back next season in full health and ready to take over the reins as starting tailback for Auburn next year.

Auburn finishes the season with an 11-3 record. That's not bad considering this is splff3000's first year as head coach. "We want to improve every year. If we do that, we'll be in the championship game in no time. And once we get to the top, I can guarantee we're gonna stay there." That was coach splff3000's response when asked how did he think his team was gonna perform next year. When asked who he thought would win the National Championship between Kansas and Wisconsin, his response was, "I'm not picking sides. I know both teams have a helluva coach so it should be good. Hopefully, I'll be around to see the game or the recaps at least."

Auburn closes the doors on the 2010 season. They had pretty up and down season, but the future is looking bright under coach splff3000. We can only hope that coach splff3000's team can improve every year like he wants. It should be a fun ride for the next few years. Go War Eagles!!!!!!!

Whoa!!! There's some pretty big upsets in the bowl games already. UGA loss and Texas A&M loss. Looks like the cpu isn't play in these games.

Hey guys, I have a proposal. What if we hold off the championship game until friday then I can connect with jhawk on skype and give play by play. Then we'd advance to the offseason right after that. Of course this is all depending on if stop and jhawk are even available to play then. It seems like it would only be one more day even if everybody got all their stuff in tonite. What do ya think about that?

I don't care when it is, but the only night that I'd be able to get the entire offseason in until Sunday is on Thursday starting about 10 p.m.....that is unless we do it tonight right after all the games are done. Other than that, I've got a game to cover Friday, probably gonna be covering FSU vs. BYU on Saturday and then NFL football until later Sunday evening.

Unfortunately I don't have a cam so I'm not sure on the skype idea unless stop has one. If he doesn't I can potentially look at Wal-Mart to get one but I'll have to see. I think it would be cool if we waited until right before we were going to advance to the offseason. We would be the last game left, and since we would be doing the offseason immediately afterwards, most everybody would probably be around to get updates for the game.

I say let's just do the offseason if possible tomorrow. I'm not going home tonight, so I won't be around if everyone does in fact finish tonight. Of course, I expect Splff to come in and say he has to work at night tomorrow.

Urban, any idea when you and CT are gonna play?

he hasn't responded yet

Are you gonna be actually covering the games on friday or are you gonna just be doing write ups on them. I ask because for the first part of the offseason I could text you the info and you could tell me who you want to talk into staying and so forth. If you're actually gonna be at the games and stuff then I guess we'll just have to go step by step. Btw, if you haven't looked at the time windows we will have for each phase of the offseason I suggest you look at the rules thread to see how we will be doing it. For some parts we will have 24hrs for stuff and for toher parts we'll only have 12 hrs and still some parts we won't even stop at all. So take a look at that if you're not familiar with how we do it.....(looking at you Jhawk)

WTF? You said you were on skype so I assumed you had a camera. Hell we where talking about you doing the same thing for me when me and Joker where going to play. WTF? Oh well. Yeah, don't go running out buying a webcam just so I can watch the championship game lol. It's not that big of a deal.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking as well about the last game of the year. If you're playing in the chmpionship game it should be a big deal.

You know I do lol. That's why I proposed friday night lol. I gotta make enough money to support my NCAA, COD, and drinking habits lol.

Nice!! Real fucking nice!!! I'm hyped as shit after seeing that and I ain't even playing in the championship game. If you guys can wait. I'd like for you all to play friday lol. And like Jhawk said, we can go right to the offseason. We might not finish it because of Urbs, but we can at least get started.

urban when is a good time for you

I can play late tonight, early tomorrow or late tomorrow night. You?

Nah, it'd have to be about 1 or 130
