    New alignments for 2014. Question?

    Isn't 6Man the one division that should really never move their number up to accommodate schools that just cant cut it in 11 man? Sounds to me like 6man is not the problem... it is the divisions in 11 man. 6 man is created for teams that couldnt field an 11man team. It just seems like this is...

    Gordon Longhorns

    Was at the game and didn't like the trash I saw on BOTH sides... .I can give you a numbe,r if you want one, of a savoy player (hint, he was wearing a cowboy collar on his shoulder pads) that was in the absolute wrong, and got chippy and mouthy... Why HE didnt get flagged for unsportsmanlike at...

    Going for Two

    I think you are right as well... I think there would be some 11man teams that would have a higher percentage when going for two that would justify them going for 2.... but I would think those offenses would be the ones that would probably never have the need to go for 2. While conversely, the...

    Going for Two

    It is the same as the reason that kicking for the conversion is worth 2 points, while running it in is 1 point in sixman, and vice versa in 11 man. With more field, it is easier to run the ball in from 3 yards out than it is to kick it with fewer athletes blocking up front. Trust this... if...

    Going for Two

    A top 10 team might get that large of a percentage going for 2... as long as they were not playing a top 10 defense. 3 yards isn't automatic in 11man football... especially with a team backed up in their own endzone. I understand you reason for wanting teams to go for 2 more often in 11...

    Going for Two

    It is incorrect to say that nobody ever goes for two in 11 man. It happens all the time. Just not to the frequency that it does in 6 man. Here is an exerpt from a column written by Greg Davis in 2005 that touches on the issue better than I would be able to... "With the conversion rate of...

    Going for Two

    I would think it would have do with your odds of making the point conversion in sixman should be much higher in sixman than 11 man. You gotta realize that the gap between percentages in 11 man are much greater between going for 1pt and trying for 2pts. Say a team can make the extra point at...

    Miles Austin and Tashard Choice

    I actually picked him up to fill in for a bye week I had for one of my receivers in one of my leagues.... I thought with Williams out, he would get a couple opportunities, but I had no idea... He ended up getting me 37pts... Crazy day!!

    Miles Austin and Tashard Choice

    Miles Austin dropped 1 pass in the endzone, and also missed another that would have been a great catch,... but finished the day with 10 catches, 250 yards receiving (cowboy record) and 2 touchdowns....

    Tony Romo

    Id like to see what Jon Kitna could do with the O-line and receiving corp Dallas has. Not saying he is better, but I don't see why he couldnt have done just as well as Romo has thus far this year. It could be worth a shot. And I am a Romo fan.... Just think maybe the pressure and hype is...

    MNF: Packers at Vikings

    I had always been a brett farve fan until his drama towards green bay. I am all for a player, that still has passion for the game, coming back out of retirement if he so chooses. I am still a big MJ fan, and still wish he would step back on the hardwood at some point. But what really stuck in...

    barack obama speaking tomorrow.

    Sounds to me like your "Lean" is becoming more firmly planted. You are no better than the republicans you bash and call racists. Some of those that oppose obama have a valid reason for it. To turn those reasons automatically into racism speaks to your loyalty to the left and not to what is...

    barack obama speaking tomorrow.

    By the same token sixman, are not those on the left the ones that say save the most evil of human beings, but let's deny the opportunity for an innocent baby to live because of the irresponsible actions of the mother and father? This goes both ways as well my friend. This black and white...
