Rivals 2011 Dynasty

No doubt urban has had an outstanding season and Bolen has been a huge part of that. He has put up big numbers with Bolen in users games too. But I still think I would have to pick someone else for the Heisman over Bolen. As far as running backs go, I personally think both Stephen Jones from Oklahoma and Mike Rodriguez of Notre Dame are more deserving than is Bolen. I'll lay out the stats so far (granted, Bolen's last game will not be on here as it is currently being played).

Tanner Bolen (HB) - Florida (280 att. 1890 yards, 6.8 AVG, 27 TDs, 19 BTKs, 11 FUMs / 24 rec. 204 yards, 1 TD)
@ Alabama - (26 att. 214 yards, 8.2 AVG, 4 TDs, 1 BTK, 1 FUM / 2 rec. 9 yards)
vs. Ohio State - (27 att. 161 yards, 5.9 AVG, 2 TDs, 3 BTKs, 1 FUM / 1 rec. -3 yards)
@ Texas - (18 att. 81 yards, 4.5 AVG, 2 TDs, 1 BTK / 3 rec. 38 yards)
vs. Florida State - (32 att. 195 yards, 6.1 AVG, 4 TDs, 1 FUM / 2 rec. 10 yards)

Stephen Jones (HB) - Oklahoma (217 att. 1106 yards, 5.1 AVG, 15 TDs, 8 BTKs, 2 FUMs / 63 rec. 835 yards, 8 TDs, 1 Drop)
vs. Virginia Tech - (16 att. 89 yards, 5.5 AVG, 1 TD, 3 BTKs / 5 rec. 66 yards, 1 TD)
vs. Michigan - (14 att. 83 yards, 5.9 AVG, 2 TDs, 2 BTKs / 3 rec. 18 yards)
vs. Texas - (16 att. 39 yards, 2.4 AVG, 1 TD / 4 rec. 37 yards)
@ Ohio State - (22 att. 72 yards, 3.3 AVG, 1 TD, 1 FUM / 5 rec. 34 yards)

Mike Rodriguez (HB) - Notre Dame (197 att. 1486 yards, 7.5 AVG, 21 TDs, 9 BTKs, 2 FUMs / 20 rec. 346 yards, 5 TDs, 3 Drops)
@ Virginia Tech - (7 att. 21 yards, 3.0 AVG, 1 TD, 1 BTK / 2 rec. 17 yards)
@ Michigan - (10 att. 112 yards, 11.2 AVG, 1 BTK)
vs. Florida State - (27 att. 226 yards, 8.3 AVG, 5 TDs, 6 BTKs / 1 rec. 1 yard)
vs. USC - (13 att. 61 yards, 4.6 AVG, 1 TD, 1 FUM / 2 rec. 14 yards)
@ Alabama - (17 att. 154 yards, 9.0 AVG, 2 TDs, 1 BTK / 3 rec. 97 yards, 1 TD)

I guess the 32 for 195 and 4 TDs, 10 receiving yards and 120 yards returning wouldn't be enough to change your mind. After all, my already better overall stats, and already better overall user stats aren't good enough. Lol, I am the most hated person in the dynasty and Bolen is the most hated player. But I love it. I keep winning, so keep hating.

I'm not convinced.

lol, Rauloe, McGuire didn't even play that game, he's out 10 weeks or so with a broken tailbone. Really threw a wrench into my return game as he was my #1 returner with his 99 speed, haven't been able to get a consistent return since he was hurt. He should be back next year to wreck havoc especially if Jones leaves early. You did a great job shutting down Jones though, especially making him fumble, he rarely (only 1 fumble coming into the game) does that, especially since I always have it on conservative. Was a damn good game.

I think you should come to my house one time though, cause I've been to your place twice and I hate it, damn near impossible to play there lol.

Toughest test yet
The undefeated Florida Gators remained that way as Tanner Bolen continued his Heisman campaign in a 42-39 win against rival Florida State.
Fresh off an upset win against Alabama, the Seminoles were ready to continue their march through the SEC. Florida wanted nothing more than to get through with a win. The game....a slugfest.
The first quarter played to a standstill until David Hooper threw a 24-yard touchdown pass to break the snoozer at 1:31 of the first quarter.
The fireworks started in the second. Jeff Driskel tied the game at seven with a 17-yard pass to Bobby Hill for the score, but the Seminoles would add a field goal to reassume the lead.
Tanner Bolen made the first of his four touchdown runs on the next possession with 47 yards to the outside. (replay available)
"My game is a product of my line," Bolen said in his only statement after the game.
Bolen's brother got in the action with an interception, Ryan, returned it inside Seminole territory to set up a Driskel touchdown pass to Javaris McRoy. The Seminoles added a 90-yard touchdown pass with 18 seconds before the half to cut the lead to 21-17 going into the break. (replay available)
Florida State took the lead coming out of Halftime as Hooper hit Bradley for 30 yards and a score. Florida then continued to turn to their star, and Bolen led a methodical drive downfield capped by a 26 yard score. (replay available)
The Seminoles weren't going anywhere, however, and Hooper hit Bentley for a 33-yard score on his third touchdown pass.
But Bolen was the difference. This time he carried the rock for gains of 3, 1, 27, 7, 12 and finally two yards for the score.
Following a fourth down hold by the Florida defense, Bolen had one more chance to put the Seminoles away. He made the best of the opportunity with a seven-yard score. (replay available)
Still, the Seminoles didn't fold. With 2:34 remaining, Florida State coach Getonmylevelho could be heard harnecing the ghost of KGFL past saying, "Fuck it, chuck it, football" (Whatever that means)
It worked however and the Seminoles cut the lead with Hooper handing off to Fenner on a 1-yard score. The Gators recovered the onside kick and were able to run out the clock, leaving coach Urban Legend with a collective sigh of relief.
"Best football team we've played all year by FAR," he said. "I'm concerned about going west next year, but we have more important matters at hand next week with another damn good football team. We win that one, and we're where we want to be. I know we'll bring our best game."

Hmm...I love it how somebody can't give an objective opinion on what they think unless you agree with it. I personally don't think you have better user game stats. You have comparable user game stats. I especially don't think you have better overall stats; you like to overlook the fact that you have put the ball on the turf 10 times with him. For a running back, that is extremely poor. Granted, it's probably because you try to break every tackle and so will fumble more, but that's your own decision. With your stats from your game my opinion might change, I don't know yet, but that's all it is, my opinion.

I don't hate you, and I especially don't hate some virtual player on a fucking video game. You can pull your head out of your ass and stop feeling sorry for yourself because you think everyone hates you and your "star" running back. I gave my opinion, that's all it is. But from now on, I'll just keep my opinions to myself I guess; as I don't want to offend you and make you think that I hate you. I'm "slipping" anyways and should no longer be ranked in the top 5 (excluding Clark) anyways, so my opinion really shouldn't count. And you keep right on winning, I really don't care.

Lol, I'm playing around. I think you might be too, but hopefully you really didn't get mad. I like playing the role of the 'bad guy' though. It's a fun role to play when you're on top, and it's really going to suck when I fall from there, like I just about did against Ho.
I just like stirring the pot and creating contreversy, especially when someone likes to say their better, because obviously there is nobody better at this game than me.
I really do think Bolen's stats are far better, however, especially just counting user games (now that Florida vs. FSU is included). Most of those fumbles came in user games, and I had one game where I had like 3. I have been pissed off by them though.
Anyways, your guys suck, and mine are better. Nana nana boo boo, stick your head in doo doo.

I'm advancing to week 15 now. If you need to recruit, have it done before the first championship game is ready to be played.


Clark, what time you want to go? It might be kinda late for me.

Bout to recruit and sign off for the night. I'll let you know tomorrow when I get home

We should be able to advance as soon as blaze is done right?

IDK, I'm not advancing til the morning just in case.

still in the top 25 huh... i guess they might gimme a descent bowl game this year...

Yeah, a agree.. I think that need to be in the schedule for the Season after next since we play every other year. Maybe me and Hawk can play since we aint played each other yet. Im trying to step my game up against the Users. Three of my 4 losses were to the top teams. OU, TX, and UF..

Gandalf, I can go late tonight or tomorrow morning sometime

Jhawk I appreciate you throwing out some respect for Jones lol, he's had a really good season, particularly in the passing game. Considering he's only 5'8 and white haha he's pretty awesome.

Blaze. What's it lookin like for you? I'm available til about 4 and then possibly super late tonight. Or tomorrow sometime

Osama is the only one who hasn't said that they're done with recruiting who isn't set to ready. Can I advance?

And is he going to contribute at least sparingly on the boards? That was a big problem with LePayne. I want to get him talking on here so maybe we can avoid losing him. Plus we could potentially give him some tips cuz he's getting destroyed by the CPU.

I should get home around 2:45-3 so I'll be ready then.

I'll be lookin for ya around that time then.

Advance this bad boy.

Advancing now.

Nice video to occupy some time for all of us not in conference championship games. (Warning: Might not exactly be work appropriate; depending on workplace )

Late tonight works for me. I'll be looking for you.

Jones has had a really, really good season. I don't know if I came off like I was trying to say that either of them haven't had good seasons. Jones, in particular, has had a very good season. I'd probably put him at No. 2 on my Heisman ballot (well, actually one, since I couldn't vote for my own player). He's killer in the receiving game and that's the biggest reason. Some user games he's fell off a bit in the rushing game, but always seems to get his yards through one form or another.
