The Longhorns have announced that this game will be $1 beer night. All fans can have as many as they want and throwing the unused bottles at the other team is acceptable. A free beer will also be given away to any fan that can actually hit a Heat player and injure them for the game.


Hopefully its our punter...then we gotta go for it on 4th down.



They have to get our O stopped in 3 downs first. That in and of itself is hard enough.


I think the bigger question is, Can you guys stop or even contain the #1 offense in this league? We are averaging over 110 points a game and giving up 10. That means we are winning on average by 100 points.

Not nearly as big as Longhorns v Heat. There is a lot to lose in being the #2 seed in the west while in the east it really doesnt matter where you finish up. Also in the West both teams are scouting each other while in the East one team is still experimenting and doesnt really care about the game.

No comparison


Yea, keep talking all you want.

You are gonna be pissed if you lose, and you know it!
Don't try to BS me with this I don't care crap.

I don't know about that. We both have everything to gain from this game and I don't think anyone would be surprised if you guys won.

These teams are really close. Hoax is either being modest or attempting a vicious reverse jinx.

I might actually watch every single play of this game in detail two or three times before going to the next game. It should be that good.

Its really cute that you believe that! Let me share a post that I made about this game a few days ago in my team forums (anyone on EWM or with access feel free to collaborate this!)

I have done my best to make this THE most important game of the season for TCC lol. Every chance I see where they are trying to prop themselves up and talk about how important this game is I take it upon myself to remind them we dont really care about positioning like they do.

So - expect a lot of shit talking if they win but I will reiterate what I said earlier this season, I am not trying to do anything other than get into the playoffs. If we win, cool - it just means are team is THAT much better than theirs even without planning. If they win then, well, they won.

The good news is I almost have our Playoff AI setup! I think this next game I am going to experiment with ......(edited from here)


I edited the last part because if I tell you my experiment then it ruins the effectiveness of the experiment! But its just the remainder of the sentence then the post ended.

Oh and finally found where I said the above in A1 forums earlier too!

EWM will be battling for the #8 slot. We are actually taking a different approach this year. The regular season is basically a primer for us to try some things out. We dont care what seed we are going into the playoffs this year. To us the #8 is the same as the #1 - the only reason to care in the past was the cash you got from the playoffs, but when your stadium is built to capacity....

So what am I rambling about? Well, we will spend the first 16 weeks of the season trying to find an identity, hopefully we find it by the first round of the playoffs


http://goallineblitz.com/game/forum_thread.pl?thread_id=1319685&page=5

So I reitirate - dont really care about the outcome of the game. Seeding means jack to us. But of course if you are still trying to build your stadium it may matter, after all, you wont finish yours for at least 2 seasons!

edit: make that three seasons considering you havent even built luxury boxes or finished off the seating!

Its a game...a fun one at that. Strategy based. Not win based unless you are uber competitive,and if you are you are bound for failure. The beauty of GLB (beta) is trying out new strategies,win or lose. The challenge is challenging yourself.

Edit-NYW went 19-1 last season on our previous strategy. We have almost completely reversed what we did last season to challenge ourselves and competitors in a new league. Not using the easy win exploit strategy that is overly employed by a vast majority of GLB teams,has brought new meaning to the game for myself personally.

Season 6 has been the best one yet, with old and new competition.

Soooooo, someone want to explain this easy win strategy to those of us not in on it?

I think if teams saw ours, dunno if they would laugh or not.
