Losing an undefeated season to Wake Forest is crazy. That's gotta burn.

Losing an undefeated season to Wake Forest is crazy. That's gotta burn.

got crazy with the sliders. i had to do something to get some losses in here and they're rated higher than us. may have gone a bit overboard with sliders but until the sim defense stops playing lights out we gotta tweak what we can for the street cred

sucks you had to make it insanely difficult for yourself to make up for the sim defense.
at that point I would just play both sides and live with it

yeah i felt like we were in a somewhat reasonable place offensively at one point too. oh well, guess we need to get better!

back to life, back to reality

two straight got us reeling

Delaware at the tail end of their season:

On the other hand, you still put up a hell of a season, sim defense allegations or not

[Captain Canada]

bit more respectable, sucks that you had to nerf yourself for it though
