Gg USC. That was an instant classic. I thought we were done for before we marched down for the game tying TD drive and I was kicking myself for not capitalizing on your turnovers. Both teams played really well and I'm just happy Montes has been finding a rhythm this postseason so far. Best of luck this offseason.

And now for the BYU.... Seems the script has been flipped from last season's playoff encounter. Montes is gonna have to be the man against one of, if not the, best defenses in the league on the road....



I didn't want to get my hopes up this postseason for any special title run, but this win has started to make me believe yet again, poised for heartbreak yet again....



Tell me about it! Last season I think I played UW (road), Rutgers (road), Navy (road). Poised to play all the same owners again this season. What a strange turntable of events.
Looking forward to a defensive battle between the 2 best units in the country. Let's give the people a show! Good luck

Good game Texas A&M! You have a **** of a team. Can't wait to see your bounce back next season.


Thanks. You handled us pretty easily. I didn't think anybody in our conference had much of a chance against Texas - but you two are going to have a heck of a game. It should be a fun one. Good luck, and congratulations.

GG HC, man I feel bad for you Montes did not have his best game tonight.
Your defense kept us off balance all game, and I was very worried that we were going to let you back into the game with turnovers in the second half. Luckily my defense was on point and swarming all game long to rally up and make tackles on 3rd down.
This is likely gonna be the swan-song for BYU as we’re losing a number of established players in the offseason, and I think Rutgers will be seeing a lot of post-season success in the years to come. Good luck this off-season.


As for Texas and Hines being my date in the finals.....

Congrats to you, Garrok! Way to finally break through!! Hold that Indy Banner High!!!

Great job by HC on an improbable run, still one of the nastiest defenses out there, in my book.

J-Mac! Finally! A great post season appearance by the Gators - congratulations!

And, mhines....look at you. Just LOOK at you!


I think it is awesome that you and G-man are facing off for all of the marbs!! Great job with the 'Horns! This is going to be a GREAT championship game!! Bravo to all 4 of these teams!!

If you had told me that Ricketts would be held to a sub 65 passer rating and you ran for fewer than 70 yards, I would have anticipated a good shot at a win. If you told me any of my offensive numbers, I would have predicted a massacre lol. Overall, I think the final score was an accurate representation. Defense kept us alive even with the short fields the offense occasionally gave you, but Montes had his road game implosion that he is prone to having. Credit to your Defense though, there was no separation by my receivers down the field leading to these two yard passes, and the few we had open Dupuis botched unfortunately. Our defense can win a championship, but our offense doesn't even deserve the playoffs smh. The best team in the conference is representing us, and it was extremely well deserved. Besides, we would have gotten embarrassed on both sides of the ball by the monster that is Texas so we are saved by that at least lol.

This was probably the weirdest season I've ever had. We looked like a bottom 5 team in the first 6 games of the season, but then looked like a top 5 team the rest of the way up to this one. All in all, a successful season reaching the top 4. We lose a couple key players in Kennedy (the original D-line has finally moved on...) and Offensive linemen, but hopefully we can fix it up in the offseason and get more weapons especially on offense.

Good luck against Texas!

GG Florida. Hard to overcome 5 INTs from the frosh away from home. I have no doubt you'll be back next year with that team. GL in the offseason!
