20 AT 40

Ann Arbor, Mi - The University of Michigan re-dedicated the big house prior to today's game as it now holds over 109,000 fans for every home game. Now head coach Rich Rodriguez had to live up to the hype of Michigan football and both he and the team delivered when it counted routing Connecticut 40 - 20 at the big house today.

Rodriguez had Denard Robinson start the game at quarterback and after finding a rhythm with the offense the team battled back from being down after the first quarter 10 - 7 to take the lead at the half 17 - 10. Robinson would leave the game with an injury early in the third and that brought Tate Forcier off the bench who then took over the game and the defense followed leading the team to a 40 - 20 win here today.

"We got into a good flow today but we made some key mistakes that kept UConn in the game for the first 2 quarters and we can't make those mistake next week against Notre Dame or will get crushed." Said head coach Rich Rodriguez.

The team now practice up for next Saturday's big game against the Notre Dame Fighting Irish in South Bend Indiana where the Irish will look to win their first game of the year.

Coming off their first victory of the 2010 season at home against Denver, the Titans faced a tough assignment this week traveling to the Lone Star State to take on Jerry Jones and the Dallas Cowboys at the new Texas Stadium in Arlington. Things started well for the Titans as they looked impressive driving the ball in their first two drives of the game, but having to settle for field goals as in the red zone the Cowboys Defense would hold tough. The Titans on their third drive were able to put it all together and Vince Young found fullback Ahmard Hall in the End Zone for a Touch Down. Here is a video of the pass as it was quite an impressive throw and catch for the Titans



The Titans would give up a field goal headed into half-time, but things looked promising. Boy, that would all change in the 3rd Quarter. Tony Romo came out of the locker room and led the Cowboys down the field for a long drive and their first Touchdown of the day, cutting the Titans lead down to 3. Once that happened the Titans begin to get away from their game plan slightly of pounding chris Johnson and Vince Young gave up an Interception which was returned 37 yards for a TD by Jay Ratliff. The Ratliff TD, would give the Cowboys their first lead and it would really force the Titans into a negative vibe and the team began trying too hard. Ratliff would have a 2nd Interception at the Line of Scrimmage later in the game on a Vince Young Deflected Ball, and the Cowboys used the 3 picks from Young as motivation to pull away.

The Cowboys were nearly unstoppable running the ball as Marion Barber and Felix Jones combined for almost 200 yards rushing together. A tough loss for the Titans which now sends them to 1-4 on the 2010 season and really "reeling" at this point.

Next week they will travel to Jacksonville to take on their Division Rival on Monday Night Football. Let's hope they show up and have a better effort as this will truly be a must win game to keep the chances of anything positive happening in the season alive.

ARKANSAS WINS 2ND NATIONAL TITLE IN 2012
Senior QB Mallett leads Razorbacks past OU

Ryan Mallett had the game of a lifetime in the BCS National Championship, going 26-35 for 381 yards and 6 touchdown passes. The Razorbacks finish the season 14-0, winning their second national title 48 years after the school's first in 1964. The win was head coach Bobby Petrino's first national championship.

The game was close through-out, with the score 28-21 in Arkansas' favor heading into the 4th. But after a quick 16-yard TD catch by Jarius Wright put them up 2 scores early in the final period, a Darius Winston interception on the next Oklahoma possession set them up inside the 10-yard line leading to a TD reception by Greg Childs, ultimately sealing the Razorbacks' victory.

The Razorbacks will technically be sharing the national title, however, as Miami also finished the season undefeated, going 14-0 after beating Boise State in the Orange Bowl.



Randall Cobb Wins The Heisman
Kentucky Athlete Defies Odds To Win Award

After being snubbed by hometown school Tennessee coming out of high school, the underrated 3* recruit chose Kentucky and vowed to prove all of his doubters wrong. After four incredible years for the University of Kentucky, he made his point by being awarded the coveted Heisman trophy.

Cobb, primarily a Wide Receiver, has worn many hats in his 4 years at UK. As a freshman he played QB to fill in for injured starter Mike Hartline. He then moved to WR the rest of his carreer, but also returned punts and kicks, played some running back, as well as ran the effective "WildCobb" formation, a variation of the popular Wildcat.

Cobb wins the Heisman Award after leading his Wildcats to two straight SEC Championship game and Capital One Bowl appearances. While the Cats couldn't get over the hump to win the SEC title, both games were close, losing to Alabama in OT in 2011, and by a touchdown to eventual national championship Arkansas this season.

Cobb went out with a bang in the Capital One Bowl, rushing for 123 yards and 3 TD's, 4 receptions for 88 yards, and completing one pass for 17 yards. The Wildcats defeated Ohio State by a score of 37-7, finishing the season 12-2.

Cobb's senior year stats:
Receiving: 69 rec., 1278 yds, 12 TD
Rushing: 114 attempts, 730 yds, 12 TD
Passing: 7-15, 68 yds, 1 TD, 0 INT
Kick Return: 540 yds, 21.6 yard avg.
Punt Return: 345 yds, 9.6 yard avg., 1 TD

Whew, finally! Was starting to wander if the Titans were going to win one of these things, it was starting to look like the 20090 season all over, with digging just too big of a hole. It may be tough to get out of still, but the first win over Denver is on the board, so we at least got that out of the way. Here are my obervations of the First 4 Games in a nutshell

1. Opener against Oakland -- we simply outplayed them, dominated the time of possession and after giving up 2 quick scores early really controlled the game. Oakland hit paydirt on a huge play with a minute left in the game and it was a heartbreaking way to start the season, especially at home.

2. Steelers Roll -- Wow, they just dominated us. An Old time rival came in and just kicked our tails. They had us on our heels from the blow of the first whistle and it just never really let up. At least we didn't give it away.

3. Giants Kick Four Field Goals and Beat us -- This one was tough and we were just too agressive in the game. Trying to blitz Eli Manning too much and he just beat us on it time and time again. We were able to keep them out of the endzone, and make the team settle for field goals. That was the only bright spot in a game that we just didn't plan well for.

4. A Win in the Rain and Mud at Home against Denver -- Felt great to get the first win. We have to score more points though. We did a great job bouncing back from three really difficult losses and getting that ever important first win. It won't be easy going to Dallas on the road next week, but let's see what we can do and if we can build on this.

Outlook on the next two opponents

We will face a very tough Dallas team on the Road, that is sure to put up points. We need to control the clock and run the ball. We then go to Jacksonville to play the surprise early seasson division leading Jags. Should be a great game, and it's on Monday Night!!!! Yeah Baby!

Finally! The Titans have won their first game of the 2010 NFL season after holding off Denver in a 16-10 victory this weekend at LP Field. The Titans simply had to win this one after an 0-3 start to begin the season, and they had a much better showing over the previous three outings to get the first win of the year. There is still a lot of improvement that needs to happen as the team simply is not scoring enough points, and Vince Young will need to be more consistent if the team is to overcome the tough beginning to the season.

This game featured 3 Field Goals by Rob Bironas and some nice drives by the Titans as well as a 55 Yard Touchdown pass strike from Vince Young to Kenny Britt. The Young to Britt combination early this year has been nice as they look to continue to build chemistry on the field each week. Chris Johnson added 75 Yards Rushing on 26 attempts and the Titans controlled the time of possession in this game much better than they did against the Giants and Steelers.

Next week it will not get any easier as they go for the 2nd win as they have to head to the Lone Star State to take on Jerry Jones and the NFC Favorite Dallas Cowboys. The Titans hope they get to see the stadium in Texas more than once this year, because if so that means they will have made it to the Super Bowl. But, right now the team needs to simply focus on one game at a time and try to build on the win over Denver.

The Tennessee Titans traveled to New York to play the NFC East Giants in Week 3 of the season. An odd game that saw only 1 combined Touchdown between the two teams, would end with New York kicking 4 field goals to win the game on the foot of Lawrence Tynes. The story of the game was a time of possession dominance from New York. The Titans would look strong early as they had a long sustained drive in the 2nd quarter capped off by a Chris Johnson TD run to grab the lead going into halftime.

The agressive blitz package approach that the Titans took would bite them in the end. Eli Manning picked it up continually and would pass for 330 Yards, on which Mario Manningham had 175 of those yards on 11 fabulous catches. The Titans knew it was an early season must win game, so they held strong in the Red Zone, never giving up a Touchdown, but the four field goals and control of the game clock by the Giants was enough for the home team to win.

The loss drops the Titans to 0-3 to start the season, and a very challenging start to overcome. Especially with 3 of the first 4 games coming at LP Field, a faster start would have been much better for them. The Titans hold the toughest schedule in the NFL this year and it won't get any easier next week as they return home to face the Denver Broncos.

This was a really challenging game for the Titans. Despite feeling good about their chances to keep the game to a smash mouth feel with lots of running and grinding, the Steelers had other plans. Ben Roethlisberger and the Steeler offense put the Titans on their heels early with lots of play action and sneaky running plays on the first drive to set the tone. The Tennessee defense from the get go was under the gun and seemed confused. Early in the 2nd Quarter the Steelers had established a 14 point lead with 2 solid drives, and then things got really ugly before halftime, with Turnovers leading to more points when Kenny Britt fumbled a Kick Off, and then later before halftime James Harrison returned an INT for a Touchdown.

After adjustments in the locker room the Titans settled down and in the 2nd half, held PIT scoreless, and put up 16 points of their own on two TD passes from Vince Young to Nate Washington and Chris Johnson. But the story of this game was -9 yards rushing for the Titans, and a brutal attack on both Off. and Def. From Pittsburgh. The game was not nearly as close as the final score looked.

The 2010 NFL season opener for the Tennessee Titans would bring a really dramatic and close game, with a heart breaking finish in Nashville, as the Titans would fall in defeat to the Oakland Raiders on a late TD pass from Jason Campbell to Darrius Heyward-Bey with 1:12 left in the 4th Quarter.

The Raiders started quickly in the game jumping out to an early 14-0 lead in the first quarter as they would strike on a 14 yard TD pass from Campbell to Heyward-Bey, and then again on a short run for a TD by Michael Bush.

But the Titans would bounce back, forcing a safety in the 2nd Quarter and turning the momentum. The Safety would then lead to a nice drive by Tennessee capped off by a 5 yard TD pass from Vince Young to his Fullback A. Hall. Rob Bironas added a field goal to cut the lead to 14-12 at half time.

Tennessee would continue the momentum in the 3rd quarter with a TD Pass from Vince Young to Kenny Britt to put the Titans on top of the scoreboard. The Titans dominated time of possession and appeared to have the game in hand. However, playing conservative would kill them as in the late stages of the game, with time running out the Raiders would strike rich on the game winning TD pass of 65 yards as Cortland Finnegan was beat deep.

After the TD the Raiders were able to stop the Titans and complete the win!

Tennessee will look to bounce back next week against a tough Steelers team visiting LP Field.

Well here it goes, first time to ever try this, but I think it adds a whole new level of immersion to Madden, and sports games in general, so let's see if I can have some fun simulating my 2010 Tennessee Titans! A bit of background on my approach ...
  • Bill's Realism Coaching Mode Sliders ... with Madden 11 of Course
  • I am calling plays in Traditional Mode for the Titans OFF and DEF
  • 11 Minute Quarters, 15 sec run-off
  • Using Roster Update #2
  • Using default playbooks for the Titans Off and Def
I am a lifetime Oilers/Titans Fan, and love the team. I am pumped up for the Season and follow the team religiously win or lose. So, are we ready for some Football?

Oh, one more thing, I advanced Pre-Season in the Franchise, so starting from game #1 against the Oakland Raiders. My goal is to be competitive, hopefully see if we can be a wild-card team if everything goes well. I don't expect to win the division with Indy.

As far as my schedule for posting on this dynasty. Well, if I know "me" well enough it will probably be somewhat up and down. For instance, I played the game all freakin day today haha! But I get so busy that sometimes I go days or a week or two without being able to play. But I want to try to post as the season goes along and stuff -- so we'll just see ... hope you enjoy it.

Baltimore crush Cowboys in Super Bowl.

The Baltimore Ravens are once again World Champions after a stunning display in Super Bowl XLV, as they deystroyed The Dallas Cowboys 31 - 7 in front of a partisan Texas crowd.

As the cliche goes, Defence wins Championships, and The Baltimore defensive unit assuredly made that comment a truism. The tone of the game was set on the first possession as Dallas lined up on 2 and 6. Romo looked to flight the ball to WR Roy Williams in the flat only for Ravens corner Dominique Foxworth to leap and snag the interception. Ray Rice, The Super Bowl MVP, signalled his intent when he glided through to score the first of his 2 touchowns 5 plays later, scoring from 2yds untouched.

Any thoughts of a see saw game after The Ravens defence again came at Romo, sacking him for a loss of 6 on the very next play, forcing the Cowboys 3 and out. The Ravens took full advantage as they drove up the field, and when Donnald Brown scampered in from 5yds The Ravens fans were already starting to believe., even though only 12 minutes had been played. Dallas just couldn't find a way through The Ravens, being forced into a long range field goal, which Buehler missed from 46yds. The Ravens again crossed the line in the 2nd quarter whne Flacco found an unmarked Todd Heap in the endzone on an 11yd fade to make the score 21 - 0 at half time.

The third quarter was a quieter affair, as neither team could exert any control with the ball, and the score remained the same untill 12 minutes from time when Jon Kitna, who had come on for the dejected Romo, found TE John Phillips in the endzone to give The Cowboys a glimmer of hope, as they narrowed the gap to 21 - 7. ll hopes of an **** fightback were dashed as The Ravens found their run game again, as both Rice and Brown marched the Ravens up the field whilst winding down the clock. The pressure finally told as Rice claimed his second of the game when he went in from 9yds. S Graham put the final nail in The Cowboys coffin when he powered over the FG from 49yds to make the final score 31 - 7.

Syracuse, Ny A.P - In what seemed like a normal day in central New York , with the 2010 season right around the corner..the Syracuse Orange entered the practice field without a coach. Coach Doug Marrone who took over the job only one year ago with a 4-8 record has become the New Atletic Director at Syracuse University and has resigned his coaching position. Nobody knew Daryl Gross would leave for USC , He previously has turned down any positions. Nobody also knew Doug Marrone would become the AD. So what to the players think? They wanted to know who would be coaching them this coming season, 2 weeks from kickoff. Enter in Jason Tinsley , Unknown in the coaching world , Unknown in the sports world period. Who is he? Well were all going to have to find out soon or later.

Commitment to Excellence
THE OAKLAND RAIDERS


Another franchise from me, I get it. But I believe I have found, like many, the ultimate sliders. I thought the Vikings one, again like my Bills one, was just unfun and a mess all around. When I am enjoying my franchise, I let all of the scenes play through. In those two, I ended up skipping every single one.

Here, I plan to let it all play out and even play my pre-season games. To get a feel for the sliders AND truely be a coach/owner/player and see who will be cut and who stays. I can't wait to get started.

I chose the Raiders, because I wanted a challenge, a team with noone really starting, besides Nnamdi and their K/P lol. I will be able to have a sensible season and off-season. I will play as realistic as I can, controlling all 32 teams and having some storylines to keep it all interesting.

Enjoy.

Baltimore Ravens at Pittsburgh Steelers



Ravens clinch Super Bowl spot

The Baltimore Ravens will face the Dallas Cowboys in Arlington, Texas in Super Bowl XLV after coming from behind to defeat the Pittsburgh Steelers on a snowy Pennsylvanian night. The Ravens should relish being the away team in a neutral fixture after their third road victory of the playoffs.

Pittsburgh started the games first drive and promptly swatted aside the vaunted Baltimore D as they marched down the field in just seven minutes, taking the lead when Mewelde Moore punched through to score untouched from two yards. The Ravens couldn't answer back as the offence struggled to gain any momentum in the first half and it was Pittsburgh who scored again, when Reed powered over the FG from 43 yds. The Ravens managed to regiter a score just before the half as Shayne Graham scored a FG from 17yds to make the half time score 10 - 7 Pittsburgh.

The Ravens came out for the 2nd half needing inspiration, and found it from an unlikely source, when back up CB Chris Carr intercepted Roethlisbergers pass and romped all the way for the TD from 52yds. The defensive TD was the catalyst that brough the offence to life as The Ravens suddenly started to find holes in The Steelers defence. Ray Rice, who had had a modest first half, suddenly found the extra half yard of pace, whilst QB Joe Flacco started to find his recievers in the open.

Super sub Donnald Brown got The Ravens in front as he barged his way over fom six yard, as he came on for Rice, who had carried the Ravens up the field on an 80 yard drive. Ray Lewis and his defensive teamates did their bit to aid The Ravens cause as they stalled The Steelers attack with some punnishing defence. After driving Roethlisberger to the ground with a punnishing sack from Haloti Ngata, The Steelers were forced to punt from their own 30 with 6 minutes left to play. The Steelers never touched the ball again as Rice pounded the line time and again, finnaly breaking through to score from 16yds out, to sed the travelling Ravens fans into wild celebrations as they booked their place Super Bowl XLV.
