That's right, I'm being hard on myself, kind of like I am on one of my favorite movies.. Rocky V. You know the story, Rocky just beat Ivan Drago and had some brain trauma, and lots of bad things going on in his life. His whimp kid was getting beat up in school and he found Tommy Gunn to train. This brought Rocky back to life as he told Tommy about "Frankie Fear" and abandoned his real son to live the dream and turn Rocky to a champ as Tommy got a big head and a poor man's Don King. Well, when push came to shove Rocky had enough and threatened Tommy with this mega line, "You knock him down.. why don't you try knockin me down now... my ring's outside." BOOM. THAT JUST HAPPENED.
How does that relate to my team? Well, I thought I was on good times with my roster last season only to lose most of them and a chance at the title. Now, I'm stuck in post celebration stage of my mega 7 win season. I'm in the dumps like Rocky; I've got Denard Robinson but he's out of the spread. I've got Montrel Harris but he can't run very fast. I've got Cierre Wood but who knows how much they'll run. I've got TJ Moe with a new QB. I've got a lot of problems, but like Rocky.. the one thing I have is tenacity. That tenacity will earn me a few upsets because also like Rocky I'm not polished around the edges, my ring's outside. I'm a brawler.

Team Review: 5th Place "The Underachiever"
7-6-1. 119 points per game.
I'm struggling, 7 wins is the most I've been a part of and I can never seem to get over the hump. I set up my roster to go bananas this year, instead, I was middle of the road. Some staff has been replaced, we've scoured over recruiting film and are confident in our new approach. We dipped a bit too much in the spread and are going back to the Power-I straight dives. Power football is coming back.
What Went Right: After 6 weeks, I was 4-1-1 with a 149-149 tie against Crass. Hit over 140 points 5 times including a 183 point outburst in week 5. QB's plenty with Cam Newton, Denard Robinson, and Robert Griffin. WR's included NFL top 6 picks in Julio Jones and traded for AJ Green. A Badgers TE, Lance Kendricks, and a Cal RB, Shane Vareen, and the stage should have been set for a big season.
What Went Wrong: Rarely played the right QB at the right time including sitting Cam Newton down the stretch when suspension concerns came to light; this was the most devastating part of the season, BY FAR. After Vareen there was little production out of the RB's and conservative O/bad QB play kept Jones and Green out of the limelight fantasy wise. We've been in the league how long now and I still don't have a defense?
What the Boosters are saying: "Yikes, we bought Cam Newton.. then the coach decided not to play him because he kept thinking he was going to get suspended? Doesn't he know the rules don't apply to the SEC and Ohio State? He'll need to figure that out... and quickly or this money will be spent elsewhere."
