Yep nice job with the league history. Anyone have any ideas chime in. Could have rivalry records/user records/stats records etc... We don't want it too cumbersome but it'll be neat to look back once we got some years logged.

It might be cool if each user went in and recorded something like a "season recap" to keep track of how they did. I think it would be too much for Hez to keep track of how everyone else did, but that's something we could do on our own in that thread.
Hez, I'm thinking something like "The 2012 Vols came into the season with the nation expecting them to be the SEC's doormat. After the writers predicted the Volunteers to finish 12th out of the new 14-member SEC, Tennessee decided to let its on-field play do the talking.
Tennessee marched through non-conference play with a perfect record, turning heads along the way and garnering a national ranking. The Volunteers put up big offensive numbers behind the running of eventual Heisman Trophy winner Marlin Lane. When Lane's running lanes weren't there, quarterback Tyler Bray found his favorite passing options in Da'Rick Rogers and all-SEC Justin Hunter.
Defensively, Tennessee's new 3-4 scheme proved to be difficult for teams, and the Vols marched to an undefeated record going into the South Carolina game. In that game, which would be UT's only loss of the season*, the Vols went into halftime with a lead. They would later fall apart in the second half behind South Carolina's Connor Shaw-Ace Sanders combo.
The Vols would win the rest of their games and have a rematch with South Carolina in the national championship game. Because of the storied rivalry between the head coaches, Ozi03 and Beef 1857, the media were not allowed to watch the game in true European soccer fashion. What happened in that game is still disputed till this day, with the Coaches voting South Carolina the 2012 National Champion and the AP poll voting Tennessee #1.
* = Whether Tennessee finished the season 11-2 or 12-1 is a disputed fact. "

It's a good idea Beef. At this point my memory is a little dicey but I'll have a full review of this season's debacle. Speaking of which.
UCLA 28 Mizz 16
UCLA's defense was a mix between the 85 Bears and 12 Alabama. Looking at his roster though they looked more like well UCLA, no idea WTF was gong on out there. My trio of stud receivers should have shredded that man press coverage but no one was ever open and when I had a little window UCLA's defenders seemed to have a tractor beam that sucked the balls in. Come on EA!!! Not sure if this is home field or adjustments but when my db's go into press coverage they just get beat deep. UCLA intercepted an option pitch and 2 more passes within the 1st 3 minutes of the game before Mizzou realized passing was hopeless. I had 3 chances for pick 6's on screens and my db's dropped every one. Down 13-0 before I could blink Mizzou started a long climb back. Killa correctly identified the 3rd down catch that sealed the game. I tried to mix up my coverage there anticipating Killa going to a counter short, and he went deep again. I think I had a good chance if I get the stop there.
It was a good punch/counterpunch game. GG Killa. Still undefeated going into the heart of the PAC 12 schedule will be good for the recruiting class for you. Looking forward to your return to Colombia next year for the rubber match.

My D and specifically my DBs have been playing out of their minds. I will say, if you look at the speed/acceleration of my DBs it make more sense. Hez can vouch for this. Their speed and their play have allowed me to play a lot of man D, which let me do a little more with man front 7 or front 6. I consider this payback for last years battle haha. Solid game Ziff.

Just wrapped my game, Utah defeats Oregon State by a TD. 31-24. Oregon State came out playing and jumped to a 24 - 0 lead. Somehow I was able to creep back into it. My Freshman QB (playing for injured Jordan Wynn) made some big plays after starting horribly.....
