While there is no question that Drew Brees is a future HoF, it is difficult to see how he would ever be rated ahead of Tom Brady.

Week 4: Top 25 Media Poll
The Week 4 poll is out and what a wild week it was. Penn State (4-0) remains in control of the top spot, but the Wisconsin Badgers (3-1) dropped from the #2 spot due to their lose to Michigan State. Filling the void at the #2 spot is Oklahoma (3-1), followed by LSU (3-0), Ohio State (4-0), and USC (2-1). The Washington State Cougars fell out of the Top 25 poll, with the UAB Blazers moving up from #38 to #24 following their shocking win over the Miami Hurricanes. There are three games between ranked teams in Week 5, led by a match-up between Penn State and Michigan State.

Was a tough year and playing the game simply didn't crack the priority list. Just fired up the game for the first time in 7 months, so I will see if I get drawn back into playing.

You assume it's more active but you've had no replies there and almost 5-6 here lol

HORNETS ANNOUNCE GM CHANGE
The Charlotte Hornets have not won more then 36 games since they won 48 in the 2015-2016 season. And they have not reached the playoffs since that season, and have only finished with a winning percentage better then .450 one season since then.
The Charlotte Hornets announced today they have parted ways with Mitch Kupchak, who to be fair has only been in that position since April 8th 2018. In his place they have agreed to terms with 40 year old Indiana native Sam Fisher. Fisher played college ball at Indiana State before playing 2 years over in Europe.
“I’m excited for the opportunity” said Fisher at the press conference today, “I have lofty expectations for myself. I want and expect to win to bring Charlotte their first championship.” Fisher wasn’t brave enough to guarantee or promise how soon that will happen. When asked what his first order of business was, he said “getting ready for the draft coming up.”

The pretty much unknown Fisher The Charlotte Hornets will have the 3rd pick in the upcoming draft. The WSSN mock draft has them taking 19 year old SG Anthony Edwards from Georgia.


The mock draft ended up being right, as the Charlotte Hornets selected SG Anthony Edwards with the 3rd pick in the 1st round. Edwards will fill a hole the Hornets have at SG, as the Hornets only had 22 year old Malik Monk on the roster. With the 2nd round pick the Hornets selected PF Tyler Bey from Georgia and with the final pick the Hornets selected PF Yoeli Childs from BYU.

Wolverine Studios tackles the complicated game of American football with flexibility and poise.

The game of American football is complicated. Anyone who has dipped their toes into a management game that revolves around football knows just how complex it can be. Designing a game that touches all aspects of football in a way that works is even harder. Still, Wolverine Studios has managed to do enough right to pull together a complete simulation that captures the magic and complexity of American football.
This game includes all of the following features: full rosters, practice squad, trades, free agency, the draft, scouting, injuries, a custom play editor, the ability to design and use custom playbooks, the ability to generate custom leagues and league formats, realistic simulation with box scores and post-game analysis. And more.
Once you open the game and start playing around with the options, you remember how complicated American football truly is, and the fact that Wolverine Studios managed to get all of the essential pieces of the sport into the game is impressive. Better yet, they made it look great while doing it.

This has always been such a great game. Wish they still updated it.

South Region--Sweet 16

Iowa's upset of #1 seed Florida State was the biggest news coming from the South Regional. #2 seed Creighton took care of business, but #3 seed Oregon and #4 seed Maryland both were defeated. The BYU-Maryland game was close and exciting throughout and the victory up in the air until the final few seconds.

Dynasty Threads:

So I was asked by Chris to come back and contribute a dynasty type save for one of the Wolverine Studios games.  I actually downloaded DDSCB2020 today so thought I'd oblige him.  I have been involved in sim leagues (text based mostly) since BBCF debuted back in 2005 and currently run four teams as GM in a couple of leagues.  I am also in my third year with a small You Tube channel with a focus on Football Manager with daily content (Mon-Sat). 
Anyway, if you are unfamiliar, a "journeyman" is where you start off with a small team and effort to work your way up the ladder to the big time programs; much like a real career path would occur.  So with that in mind I am firing up the game for the first time and will see what transpires.  I won't be playing this daily as it's a "third choice" option for me with my other stuff I'm involved in but we'll give it a whirl for you guys here at GM Games.
Here's the league setup if you are curious...I am running the College Mod Version 1.10 found on the developer's website under the mods section on the forums.
EP0: Game Discussion, How to Import Real Schools Mod, Pre Dynasty Setup
"This first episode is just a general episode discussing and walking through the league setup and a discussion on the Real World mod available at Wolverine Studios. We setup our coach for the series and give a brief discussion on what the goals of the series are. This will be a “journeyman” style save where we start off as a brand new coach and attempt to have a career where we develop as a coach, build our skills up and progress to new jobs at higher prestige schools."
 

Loved watching Merlin. In fact, have watched it several time through. I find myself going back to watch shows that have already run its course.  Currently watching Psych and Monk all over again. 
CH9

Yep, agreed.
While clearly not an elite level QB any longer, he is still a player that likely every other team would want leading them.

Round 1 is COMPLETE!

11 of the 32 teams advancing to the round of 32 are from non-power conferences. Now the challenge for them is to continue moving forward as the competition stiffens.

Only 2 teams that were lower seeds won in the 32 games in round 1. One of those wins was a #9 beating a #8 and the only real upset was by #12 Wright State.

So the tournament committee’s seedings were pretty much spot-on...at least for the first round.

Top Individual Performances in Round 1:

Tyler Payne, PF, Oregon—29 points
Diego Moore, SG, St. Louis—28 points
Zack Hayes, SG, Maryland—27 points, 7 rebounds, 5 assists, 4 steals, 3 blocks
Lee Hahn, PF, Colorado—23 points, 7 rebounds
Mike Hollins, PF, Kentucky—21 points, 12 rebounds
Marcus Holmes, SF, Illlinois—20 points, 11 rebounds
Andre Sampson, PF, Arizona—19 points, 11 rebounds, 9 blocks
Kendric Pugh, SG, Wright State—17 points, 6 rebounds, 2 steals, 5 blocks
Joe Bush, SF, Baylor—16 points, 13 rebounds
Mike Grant, PF, Michigan State—16 points, 13 rebounds
Alvin Griffin, C, Colorado—18 points, 8 rebounds in 18 minutes
Copley Robertson, C, UC Irvine—18 points, 5 rebounds in 19 minutes
Renaldo Miller, PF, Duke—17 points, 5 rebounds in 18 minutes
Travis Murray, SG, Oregon—11 points, 9 assists, 3 blocks
Trenton Sarchet, SG, Colorado—7 points, 10 assists
Jeffrey Gardiner, PG, Duke—11 points, 8 assists
Rasual Crowley, PG, Southern California—8 points, 8 assists

Muchas Gracias!  Figured you'd like the  Creighton game, at least.  We'll soon see who they have to go up against in Round 2.

At lest tell us why Tom Brady sucks. It might be prudent that admin not count this posting for ryanstan when counting the 2 posts needed to leach a game. His posting is garbage... (There it was said. When making a statement such as that evidence needs to be included.)
With that said, along with what the above guys wrote. Tom Brady is one of the best quarterbacks in the history of the game and his induction in to the pro football hall of fame will prove just that when he retires, whenever that maybe nobody knows.
Love him or hate him it can not be disputed that he is one of the greatest if not the greatest there ever was!

2002 2KFL BOWL
Michigan 28 -- Denver 24 Mile High Stadium 44 degrees, sunny Denver wind N 17 mph, humidity 50% Michigan Panthers (7-5) 10 7 3 8 -- 28 Denver Gold (9-3) 7 7 7 3 -- 24 First Quarter Michigan - Becht 8 pass from Brooks (Lindell kick), 3:43 Denver - Enis 6 pass from Griese (Brown kick), 7:34 Michigan - Lindell 47 FG, 13:18 Second Quarter Michigan - Bryson 12 run (Lindell kick), 11:03 Denver - Faulk 3 pass from Griese (Brown kick), 14:03 Third Quarter Michigan - Lindell 18 FG, 5:34 Denver - Thomas 1 run (Brown kick), 10:01 Fourth Quarter Denver - Brown 30 FG, 2:58 Michigan - Bryson 8 run (Looker pass from Brooks), 11:50 2KFL Bowl MVP - Michigan WR Antwaan Randle-El With 5:17 left in the fourth quarter and Denver leading 24-20 from their own 26 yard line on 3rd and 18,  Denver QB Brian Griese throws a crushing interception into double coverage to Michigan CB Fakhir Brown, who returns the ball to the Denver 35 yard line.  Griese had WR Brandon Stokely matched up one-on-one going down the seam and he had FB Rock Cartwright in the flat wide open, yet he makes the awful decision to throw to a double-covered WR Dane Looker and it cost his team the title. 
In the ensuing drive, Michigan HB Shawn Bryson, a game day starter when HB Shaun Alexander was a late game day scratch due to his injury, was able to punch the ball in from the Denver 8 yard line for the game winning touchdown, on the road in Denver, for the 2KFL Bowl championship.  3 Denver turnovers (2 int, 1 fum) were really the difference in the game as everything else was really evenly matched (Michigan gained 319 yard in total offense, Denver gained 317 yards in total offense, Michigan was 5/13 on 3rd downs, Denver was 6/13, etc.).
Denver should be very disappointed in their loss, but those 2 late season loses, after a 9-1 start, was foreshadowing their weaknesses.  The Denver safeties in their secondary will need to be address for this team to stay strong.
Congratulations are in order for the Michigan Panthers.  They were a study in perseverance as their up and down season showed.  To go on the road twice and beat heavily favored home teams was a testament to their ability to rise to the challenge and fight through to the end.  Michigan has a strong offensive roster and a good defensive roster but they need consistency in order to defend their title next year.

I first picked up a copy of BBCF many years ago.  I really enjoyed the game and played it as often as family, work, and grad school demands permitted.  Fast forward to this past Holiday season and I found myself with some vacation time, good bowl games to watch, and an urge to start up BBCF again.  As a long-time member of the OOTP boards, I have been posting my ongoing "career" of leading the San Jose State Spartans . While I enjoy the OOTP game and its community, I didn't think it was appropriate for me to continue to post in a forum for what is sure to be at some-point an amazing FOF / OOTP collaboration. So with that said, I hope this community finds some enjoyment in following along with my San Jose State Spartans.

San Diego State 31 --- San Jose State 3 Wow, total domination by San Diego State (7-5). The Aztecs jumped out to a quick lead and never were threatened in this one. In getting the 31 to 3 win over San Jose State (5-5), the Aztecs held the Spartans to just 214 net yards on the day and a dismal 9 first downs. QB Tony Lima was a pathetic 9 for 41 on passing, and RB Juan Moreno could only eek out 52 rushing yards on 20 carries. What a disappointing effort by the Spartans! #onestepforwardtwostepsback

This thread had a nice run  -- you were very committed to it. Hopefully it makes a reappearance at some point.

Looking forward to this!
