beats Posted May 8, 2006 Share Posted May 8, 2006 Got the game two / three months ago & have been playing pretty solid whenever the chance arises. Took over as HC of the Auburn Tigers & led them to the #2 national rank, an SEC title & an appearance in the Rose Bowl to determine the national champion. Unfortunately that’s where the fairytale ended, with a 41-38 defeat. I was quite happy with the season though, as I’d called every single play myself – although this did prove quite time consuming! The squad was quite depleted as many of my stars left for the bright lights of the NFL, but I still had a decent team remaining. Fast forward 12 months & I again find myself fighting for the national title, in the Fiesta bowl against the Hurricanes (this time as the #1 rank.) I let the coaches call the plays this time, but ‘interfered’ in situations where I thought necessary. So we enter the 4th Q with the Canes up 20-14, but soon into the quarter my senior QB (Patrick Strange), tosses a 3rd TD to junior RB Alexander Johnson &, after the PAT, we lead by 1. No scoring for the next 11 minutes, but with 1:13 to go, the Canes are facing 4th down in FG range. The snap is good, the kick is off – but it’s BLOCKED! Auburn takes over & runs down the last of the clock to take the title. I love this game!!! My squad will be decimated this off-season, but hopefully the recruiting will go well. I don’t think I’ll make it three national title games in a row though, but you never know… Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Pronk Posted May 21, 2006 Share Posted May 21, 2006 Congrats! When the team is doing well, calling your own plays can be truly rewarding. On the flip side, when the team is not doing so well, calling one's own plays can be very frustrating. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
