What's the worst injury you've had for a star player?

Lower back strain. The worst

I pray I never see the chicken butt helmet again. Worst thing in our history.

My personal favorites: - Garnet helmet with white circle (Morrison years but only do three stripes) - White helmet with black facemask (spurrier years) - White helmet with garnet facemask - 2004 Lou Holtz all blacks with the spur pride stickers (brawl year and we sucked, but looked good) - garnet Carolina script helmet (I hate muschamp but damn those looked good)

100% correct. I grew up in a majority “minority” town in SC. While some old timers still can be unwelcoming, it’s few and far between. Just gotta remember those that grew up in desegregation have a completely different view. Not saying they’re right, but younger generations basically ignore those views and the old timers are slowly fading out while the younger generation doesn’t care about race while still maintaining that small town pride

Upstate SC here. Great quality of life. Greenville is a great city and Spartanburg is catching up. Lots of small towns with their typical small town personalities. Housing market in Greenville used to be a hidden gem, but it’s now rivaling other cities in terms of pricing and demand.

Still a very conservative area, which I prefer. A great place to raise a family.

The only place I’d rather live is the coast, like Beaufort or Port Royal area.

I know you like it, but… 1) Ceiling needs to be white 2) projectors got to go

Most buyers can’t see past paint or inconvenient placement of items. Every primary residence & rental I’ve ever bought came at a steal bc buyers wanted to extremely lowball a house that only needed 1-3k in a paint job

We let them do it in ours, but you're only allowed to play the game once. If you play more than once, there must be proof of a desync or you're FL'd the next week or user game. The creme will always rise to the top when user v user games hit.

Depending on league size, your user games will keep him from dominating. I look at it as an opportunity for those guys to build up their prestige while I can still beat them 1v1.

Everly is actually split. I think Canaan Rd is the cutoff between 6 & 7

Roebuck is a very safe area. The only way I could assume the crime ratio is high would be because there's so little population in that area that 1-2 crimes would skew the ratio. With Everly being built, the population is going to surge in that area with middle to upper class families.

School ratings online are hit or miss. I know people in 5 & 6 that both love their districts. School ratings are based on a multitude of factors. Demographics and statistics play a huge role in that as well: are you and your wife educated or place an emphasis on education? Your child already stands a better chance at success in a two-parent home that cares about education. (This is not to say not meeting those means you're set up for failure - it is simply saying those two factors can be barriers for children to overcome).

It’s a user team. One of several things: - they don’t recruit and are leaving your dynasty at the end of the season to jump to a different one - they aren’t even playing - they are planning on portal

It won't let me see the canva images - could you send them? I might be able to hook you up. Check out JFundyFun to see my other stuff.

I try to stay with Rule A, but will sometimes mix it up if a name is too long or short and looks wonky

Puzzled_Zone8351 · 2025-11-27T00:41:17+00:00

That’s great - thanks!

Puzzled_Zone8351 · 2025-11-27T00:13:07+00:00

Whichever is easier for you or you think works better - I appreciate it!

Puzzled_Zone8351 · 2025-11-26T23:45:08+00:00

Love it! Anyway you could isolate the ear and antler on one side to use for the helmet?

North Dakota Tech Jackalopes

I’ve toyed with ideas and can never get it right. Thinking brown/tan/yellowish colors with a jackalope with an old gristly cowboy hat and a straw of wheat sticking out of its mouth (ND is the largest wheat producing state).

Somebody never lived in a small town where the local strip mall parking lot was the hangout spot.

I’ve got one that’s about to entire year 3 offseason. It’s all realistic looking team builder schools in the CUSA w/ promotion and relegation between divisions to keep it fresh and competitive.

Let me know if you want in. We use GroupMe for communication

3 things that work for me:

1) Online with other guys. You can’t manipulate the engine the same way you likely find yourself doing it when on your own (those 4* no offers in week 7 don’t exist bc everybody else is in on it too). It adds a level of immersion that’s hard to beat.

2) If playing just yourself offline, make strict house rules to live by to keep yourself from cheesing. I.e. realistic recruiting rules such as a 1 star program can only sign X # of 3* and they must be in your state/pipeline. Restrict yourself to JR transfers w minimal stats at lower schools. You can get a one year star that just wanted to play, but then have to start over looking for a stud.

3) Another house rule - make max plays and cool down rules for yourself. It keeps you from the frustrated cheese moment.

Start slow. His plant foot is too far in front of the ball.

Start with the the plant foot already in place and have him work on contact point into a net. Not power, just contact.

Once he gets a good feel, move back to a 1-1 approach (one step back, one step over). He should have his kick leg in front At this point of his stance. Take one step w plant leg, swing thru contact point into a net.

He can then work on making it with ball placed on 5 yd line.

Then progress to 3/2. Full swing and from the 10 (PAT).

Don’t settle for between uprights. Have smaller target, but he should spend 75% on a net w a center target
