If we're lacking football talk, I could start listing the orders I'm creating and shipping out.  Maybe comment on them - players, memories, etc.?


Here's one:
97 Michigan (duh)
97 Marshall - Randy Moss/Chad Pennington......first person to order them
15 Texas Tech - of all the cartoony QB numbers in Lubbock, they're ordering this team because of Mahomes' NFL success
19 Oregon
19 Wisconsin......very fun Rose Bowl teams
79 Bama
18 Bama
79 USC
05 USC
87 Oklahoma....great D, 2 QBs with very poor completion %
83 Texas.....crazy great D
98 Kansas St
89 Houston.....this might be the new "hardest team to beat" in my game, ignoring Andre Ware's exploits.  Great defense and an absurd running game.
88 UCLA......Aikman at QB

80 Georgia
80 ND.........1981 Sugar Bowl

83 Miami
83 Nebraska.....1984 Orange Bowl



Just those 4 teams.  If you've seen the 30 for 30 on Herschel Walker, you learned he dislocated his shoulder in that game on his 2nd carry.  They popped it back in and he went to one of his other personalities to bypass the pain, running for over 100 yards vs a strong Irish D.

94 Penn St
84 BC.....Flutie & Co have to be one of my top sellers
77 Texas.....the Tyler Rose and a sick D
71 Nebraska
76 Pitt....Tony D
98 Tennessee
18 Clempsin
75 Oklahoma

15 Michigan St
97 Michigan......another top seller
01 Miami
12 Alabama
88 Oklahoma St.....Barry Sanders, ever heard of him?
80 Georgia
89 ND......as good as the 88 NC team....to me, this will always be the Tony Rice Unitas Award season w/ 2 TD and 9 INTs.......this season they really let Rocket run the ball a lot, at 7.5 ypc.
14 Ohio St
04 USC
08 Florida...Timmay!

In separate orders, I had my first requests for Duke teams....2006 and 2013.  06 was winless.  They're testing out my game to see if they play as bad as they did in real life.  '13 was good, winning their division.

I keep wanting to account for how often teams are ordered, but I never have any time.  I need to get someone to do that for me, because I'm interested as hell.

Anecdotally:
97 UM
84 BC
05 Texas
Most recent season teams (so 2018 in the fall, 2019 teams now)
82 SMU
83 Miami
95 Nebraska
93 FSU

Teams requested are very diverse, though.  Although, the last order of 14 teams, 9 I had previously made.  The order I'm on now of 10, 7 have been made.  So that's helpful.

FWIW, '73 and '74 Oklahoma were significantly better teams.

One of my old HS teammates was a reserve freshman LB on that 97 Marshall team.  Lamar Martin, #34.  You’re welcome.  Lol.

Thanks!  You unlocked the only thing holding me back!  

Some of these teams are really hard to get everything I need for.  So I'm making '91 Cal at the moment - I remember them - Russell White at RB, Piatkowski at QB, Sean Dawkins at WR.  Anyway, I go to their site and I'm amazed to see they have a 1991 roster page.

I click it.  It has 2 players.  FFS  :91:

Had to watch some 1991 footage on youtube, but I made 91 Cal and 91 San Diego St.
Whew!

Well, OAM is a teacher... And in the world of distance learning, how do we know this isn't a "project" for his students to teach them math or something via college football statistics.

Are we sure he's not running a sweatshop employing free labor? :57:

I'd love some cheap labor, but I'm not there yet.  Kids....nah, I need precision.  No mess-ups.  I've been fortunate to catch most of mine.  
What I could really use is a college football nut friend nearby.  I had a few back in FL, but not out west.
