Worse teams than mine killed them, thus I should have done the same, if not better...tell me why i should think otherwise.
Because you can't use other teams to justify your own results. They are a differant team, have differant settings, ratings and IQ's? Just a thought.

You keep harping on the fact that it was a sim. Say it was a human who ran those exact same settings. What would be the differance? You already said you were ok with losing to humans who were rated lower. The point being, once the game starts, it doesn't matter who is coaching, it matters how they set the team up beforehand. You didn't, neither did the sim (who could be any novice coach out there).

In the midst of a whole lot of stuff that isnt all that amusing, this post made me smile.

In effect, by deciding NOT to game plan you converted this game from human v SIM into SIM v SIM.....or even worse, you may - we dont know - have some settings - distros, etc - that human review would suggest were negative for this matchup. This ended up being the equivalent of machine v machine.....John Conner would be proud....

I most certainly set my gameplan, distros, etc, thus there's nothing sim about me. I had a gameplan that was more than enough to win that game EASILY, period. Look what West Georgia did....look at what the 2 other sims did.

Look at what you did. Evidently it was not.

Colonels you should sign up for a season in wooden d3 , NAC is tough conference to test your coaching skills. Mt Ida is open those guys could help you out with distros , recruiting to help you out with your d2 team. If you can win in wooden d3 especially the NAC then you should be able to roll thru d2.

Yeah, and you know why, because the sim decided that I wasn't winning that game....that's the truth.

Again, I'm not looking for ANY help...I don't know how else to say this until you guys get this into your skulls. Also, I'm more prone to leaving the game than I am to BUYING more teams...again, I thought that was clearly obvious as well. With this result, I'm one foot out the door.

Like it or not, that game had W written all over it, and the sim engine stole it from me....just an utter friggin shame...

what's a shame is that you didn't run uptempo. you deserve to lose for that alone. he had 7 scholly players, for god's sake.

man up and admit you screwed up. crazy stuff happens in this game all the time -- by willfully refusing to maximize your chances of winning (as explained by numerous veteran coaches), you greatly contributed to the probability that you'd lose. why is this so hard for you to understand? why do you refuse to learn from this?
4/26/2010 6:42 PM
Colonels, I do note that after demanding any other comparable game, I gave you one. . and you proceeded to ignore it.

If anyone ever wanted to watch a retarded 3rd grader debate a Supreme Court Justice, this is your chance.

Sorry for those of you that read what I am about to type.



The only "friggin shame" as you put it is the time and energy the good people here took to try and explain things to you. That and the total waste of space the mud puddle of a gene pool you come from takes up.


Maybe you can get some of the other kids from CCH to help you coach.

Yeah and here's a thought, my team is considerably better than the team that beat the **** out of Montevallo (Flat out wrong, subtract his walkons and you are equal at best and he has much better defensive IQ's)...and since Team Talent is the most important thing in this game (Again wrong. it is a game of individual matchups as well, probably moreso when running anything but zone), there should have been no way that I lost that game (AGAIN wrong. You were favored, nothing more).

You keep harping on the fact that it was a sim. Say it was a human who ran those exact same settings. What would be the differance? You already said you were ok with losing to humans who were rated lower. Its always more justifiable losing to a human than a sim (According to you. If you gameplanned maybe we wouldn't even be having this conversation, but either way, once the game starts it doesn't matter who is coaching) The point being, once the game starts, it doesn't matter who is coaching, it matters how they set the team up beforehand. You didn't, neither did the sim (who could be any novice coach out there). Ok, let's say that's the case, my team is considerably better, advantage me...I WIN...or not....... (No, advantage to the team that plays the situation correctly, you did not, thus risked a loss)

You were not robbed, you were not gypped, you lost a game that was winnable at best. Again, get over it and learn to gameplan and you'll see less of these results.

looks to me like this was about a one out of five ish chance of losing without game planning and a one out of twenty chance of losing with game planning

why not game plan, even if favored without it?

Because I looked at team composition and game circumstance, and this game was a gimme win for my AASU team, period. This is probably one foot out the door for me, so I'm sure that'll please everyone. I refuse to accept crap, period
Hmm, position taken earlier by the colonel was "I didnt need to game plan..." more recent position is "of course I game planned"

he may be meaning two different things - he set his generic game plan - but he did not - as he made clear early in this thread - adjust to suit this opponent....

which means that the generic settings may have helped or hurt - it was close to SIM v SIM.....
