As usual, I've conceded points here, I admitted that I probably would have done better had I made the suggested coaching changes and I did say that the justifications that have been made are valid, just not enough to justify that result. I still feel that I should have won that game with no adjustment. I never said I was a good coach fwiw.

On another note, WTF cares to explain this result, HD is completely overhauling the system. So that's the excuse...its going away so f*** off...wow these just get better and better. It's not something that needs to be fixed nor should be fixed in this engine because the engine is being changed. So the fact that you lost to a bad team doesn't matter too much, mainly because you have a bad team yourself, but also because this isn't necessarily reflective on what the future of HD looks like if I go under your opinion that you should've won this game by 20. I said double digits...10....a 1 point win would have been acceptable.

I wonder if HD rated the teams what would Kansas ratings look like compared to Northern Iowa? I too would love to see that...we'd actually be putting things in context there....

You chirp a lot for someone that doesn't even know my situation.

We're still having good valid discussion here. At least one of the coach billyg aliai admitted that I was at the very least unlucky for this result to happen...no one else has even suggested that.

Principia, with an "OTR" which is sixty points better than its opponent (479 - 418) loses, by six, to a team with six walkons. Principia is better to significantly better in every single rating category - and has only two walkons itself.

We're on the same page, but I do have 1 question for him:

If the engine is being changed why is it that you seem to believe they should be making changes to the current engine? Wouldn't devoting time to fix this engine that will only be around for another 6 months max just take away from time that would be put into the new engine? Also if you make changes to this engine wouldn't you want to some testing first, so by the time you implement the changes especially to something as major as game simulation wouldn't it take at least 2-3 months to put it into use? So in affect you would be taking 2-3 months to "fix" something that is only going to be in use for at most another 3-4 months. Doesn't that seem completely unproductive?

You documented your job search history and your attempts to get hired at ESPN very clearly in another thread. So....unless you lied about all of that, I'm familiar with your situation. Next excuse?

You didn't get screwed you are a poor lazy coach who, just like diablo, cares to spend more time ******** about it then learning how to play the game.

Pythagorean win theorem, mr 'Win by ten',

60 to fifty, lets say.

(60^14)/((60^14)+(50^14)) = 92.77 percent of the time you win. . which means. . . .

About one out of fourteen times you would be expected to lose that game, if sixty to fifty was your standard expectation. Certainly qualifies as unlucky, definitely doesn't qualify as inconceivable.

So until the new engine comes out, I should just fork out $50-$100 and wait with joyful hope until its released? I shouldn't/can't be mad about anything because its being fixed, be patient? I'm extremely unhappy about losing this game period, and the justification, while valid, was insufficient to justify the result that happened in the game in question.

So what you're telling me is that I'm just SOL until the next release, eh? Nice....

You don't know what's happened before, during, or since. You don't know me, you don't live near me, and you've never met me, but you know about my life...fantastic......ally incorrect. You're not familiar with my situation, you just assume/presume that you know, and you don't...thus I take exception with your misled comments.
