Since we are all on the same page, I'm going back to what I was doing in the past by listing those who still have games remaining. This is not me trying to pressure anyone into playing sooner. We have the 2 scheduled advance days for that. It is merely an update to keep us all up to speed. We used to discuss matchups and it just helps to keep things fresh. Also, some guys are very busy and may not realize they had a bye next week instead of the current week. Glad we all came together on our issues and have a positive outlook now.

Remaining user games this week. And current Restart list

Drum vs Colorado
GP vs Washington
HTF vs Miami

Restart List
Week 1 Peaster
Week 2 Drum
Week 3 CM
Week 9 999

GP....plays his games, posts on the Thread sometimes, I think if we had regular conversation going he would be around more


Yup.


Bout to play my game later today.


Just been out of it guys, not just the dynasty but football in general. Its depressing knowing that you have more talent than 90% of teams you will play this year and only winning 50% at most. I can say with 100% confidence that LSU would be a 10 win team with Dan Mullen, Guz Malzahn, Hugh Freeze, or Kevin Sumlin. Breaking in new QBs is all about taking away the mental aspect of the game through play calling. And I don't mean "simplifying" the offense either. Brandon Harris is an All-American with any of those coaches above, he is that talented. Instead, we are wasting him. I don't mind losing to MSU, and I don't mind losing to Auburn. I thought those teams were incredibly talented at the right positions, and I kind of expected it. Its just the way you lose. Most fans scream at coaches to do things differently, but realize their coach knows the game better than them. I think there is a very good chance that my offense would at least put up 10 points against Auburn. I love Les, he is a great person, great recruiter, and great ambassador for our program. However, whoever calls the plays has to go or change things up... /rant

I played and I'm ready to advance. I don't know where HTF is. It does seem like he's busy now a days.

Solid post, GP. I was talking to my LSU buddy the other day about this. I compared the situation to Keith Frazier two years ago at Auburn. Dude had all the talent in the world, won national player of the year his senior year in high school, came to Auburn expecting to run the system that he ran for 6+ years growing up, and it all got pissed away in 1 season. Go back and watch Frazier's high school film....He was an absolute stud and I still feel bad for him.

Point being is that you don't take a dual threat qb and throw him in a pro style offense that is out of his comfort zone. It can break a kid mentally and physically, especially being that young. Similar to throwing a qb in the line of fire in the NFL when they are not ready.... It just never ends well for them. It'd be like throwing McCarron or Mettenberger in a spread option offense and asking them to make magic happen.... Just doesn't work that way. Les and Cameron apparently told that 2016 qb recruit that they will be changing to a spread/run offense.... If he has to watch another season and a half of this crap then I guarantee he won't sign with ya'll.

I really wanted Brandon Harris at Auburn. He is a tremendous talent and he's just in the wrong system at the moment. If something doesn't change at LSU then I honestly wouldn't be surprised if he starts for Auburn in 2-3 years. I was telling my buddies tonight that unless ya'll change the offensive scheme now, then ya'll better start Jennings the rest of the way.... Just for the sake of Harris' mental game. LSU has legit talent now. Young, yes, but the talent is there. I've watched them a good bit this year and the only weak spot (excluding youth) is the interior d line. That can be fixed with a few JUCOs and your current DTs not stealing bikes/punching weight room windows. It was unfortunate with Gunner and Rivers not working out, but you gotta just bite the bullet and revolve your team around your talent.

Hang in their though, bud. I've been through ups and downs with Auburn over the last few years.... It has its highs and lows. 2012 was a brutal season, but you bet your arse I was watching every game with a bottle of whisky next to me. Ya'll will take it on the chin this year, but the talent is there to have a great turnaround.

TL/DR ....

Sorry for the rant. I'm a little drunk and just enjoy talking football. That's what I think this thread should be more about. It doesn't have to be strictly about our dynasty. We have a group text message going in our other dynasty and we just shoot the shite all day about football and other daily sports stuff. We have 2 Tenn fans, 1 GA, 2 AU, 1 LSU, 1 Arky, and 1 Bama in the group text. It's pretty entertaining and that's what this thread should be. I know the majority are LSU fans but it still could work.

and this. I've called HTF out multiple times but no one backed me up on this. He rarely posts in here and that's just shitty. I would back up the vote for 9's to take over. He seems like he cares the most about this dynasty, and think that's what it needs.

Hope all is good with him. I know he still hasn't played his game.

Once we get consistent in here everything else will fall into place.

I think HTF has done a good job. Things get a lil hectic at times and some calls are tough to make, he has handled them levelheaded and done the right things in my opinion.

If he is done, then I would be willing if that is what the league wants.

I agree....he has done a great job but just now recently he hasn't been around.....and at this point we really need some stability to get things back on track.

oh I've seen it, multiple times. There is a play on there where they snap it over his head, he runs back to get it, ends up scrambling to his right, and throws the ball 50 yards on the run while getting hit and it drops into his WRs hands in the very back of the endzone. The single most impressive play I've seen by a high school QB highlight film. I used to be really big into watching the film's of all the top guys, and seeing if I could predict the future stars.... I was wrong with him.

Yeah, no offense but at least we won't be auburn 2012 this year . At least you can take solice in the fact that it doesn't get worse than that A&M game.

I get that there are some QBs that just can't put it all together mentally, but these 2 guys are not those kinds of guys. A&M will NEVER have a bad QB as long as their coaches are there. That's because in practice they throw the ball all the time, QBs face pressure all the time, and they find out very quickly wether or not you can make quick decisions and good decisions... Our practices are probably 75% run game, and then hope Harris is great in the games.

Yea, we really need to advance today then.

Would you have time to play tonight if we advanced today?
I assume you are going hunting?
