I was just looking at the game counter and was excited that we are 100 days + hours until the Spring Game. The 2025 season will be here before we know it!!!It's never too early to think about the upcoming season.

My thoughts turn to how many days until I can get out and start working the soil in my garden. To help quell my eagerness, I already purchased top shelf tomato and pepper cages and what looks to be an improvement in how I stake my sweet peas. I also ordered (not received yet) a new 3 tiered pyramid strawberry planter with a built-in watering system. All of these things keep me geared up until around the time two-a-days start. By then, I'm pretty much tearing down my garden and ready for football. I'm supposed to be mostly retired but since the first of the year, all of my customers seem to have found my phone number so I'm flush with cash and decided garden improvements were in order.

I am re-doing my Dynasty for the 2024 season. I'm currently 6-2. Accidentally simulated my game against Purdue and of course the computer made me lose.
Lost to Ohio State 24-14. Ran the ball for 300+ yards but could not throw at all. Let me rephrase: The computer decided that of the 20 passes I threw, 14 of them hits my receivers in the hands and they drop it. So for the game, Raiola went 3/20 with 3 INTs. Meanwhile, when I am on defense, nobody on my defense can cover anyone. Every pass the computer controlled team threw, their player was wide open. Had some good plays on defense in terms of stopping the run, but Ohio State's passing was just too much.
And in this Dynasty, regardless of who my opponents is, about 90% of the touchdowns I've given up were on deep passes where my defense literally busted the coverage.
Interesting fact: The computer completes 40+ yard throws downfield, often for TDs because my computer controlled defense doesn't do what the play I call instructs them to do. I've called zone defense, where I cover the flats, the computer throws to the flat and there isn't a defender within 20 yards. Playing man to man is worse because majority of the time my DB gets beat. Oh and let's not forget that when I throw, every receiver I have is somehow triple covered while computer receivers are wide open. Dropped passes are 90% of the time on my receivers while computer receivers have like a 98% catch rate. What is so stupid is that I can run the ball, run, run, run, but when I call a PA pass, II no more than get through the fake and I'm sacked immediately. Run a screen? Nope I snap the ball from shotgun to run a screen and literally in 1 second I am sacked, or if I do manage to get the pass off it falls incomplete. And I STILL haven't figured out how to run the RPO plays so I just avoid them altogether.
I swear, this f*ing game often puts me in such a rage because of how badly the computer cheats that it's really not even fun to play.

I swear I'm going to modify my enthusiasm at the end of every season......and then we recruit some stud players, get some high profile coaches, and...........here we go again.It's never too early to think about the upcoming season.
GO BIG RED!!!!
Seriously, the 2025 season will be here before you know it. I don't know that we'll have the breakout season that some are predicting but I believe 8 or 9 regular season wins are what we are looking at. That will be solid progress.
GO BIG RED!!!
I get you're being cautious and that is probably the best approach.
But not for me!!!! Full speed ahead and damn them torpedos. Coach Rhule thinks he has a team that can not only reach the CFP, but win it. So, since I learn nothing, CFP here we come!!!! Choo Choo!!!!

Yep, Husker99 has come down with a case of the Big Red Fever---and it's contagious as hell! By October, I predict it'll become an epidemic.
I'll take that as a compliment! If being a kool-aid drinking, Husker homer is a disease then me no want the cure!
Yeah, it was meant that way. I had a co-worker say that to me one day. He didn't mean it as a complement but I chose to take it that way. Dude was a chump and we called him out on it and he was humiliated in front of a large crowd (that wasn't my friend and my intent but his office mate who thought our gag was hilarious). Long story and I won't take this thread off topic further but it was one of the funniest things I ever saw!I'll take that as a compliment! If being a kool-aid drinking, Husker homer is a disease then me no want the cure!
I read that every time a post is "liked", the poster gets a little shot of dopamine.
So today, as an experiment, I'm going to like every post.
