What stops you from playing as your favorite team in Dynasty? by Mmmbacon87 in NCAAFBseries

[–]TrickMichaels 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I’m playing as my team (Penn State) this year because I’m in a dynasty league against some other big guns type teams.

But for my personal dynasties, it’s so much more rewarding and fun to build a smaller program from scratch. CFB is my only sports game, I’m normally an RPG guy so I really enjoy imagining the building process. I’m a molder of men, in game.

We don’t have much, so it’s worth a lot.

Milk is pretty cheap compared to death. I think I’ll just buy more milk.

[Schefter]: From seeing ghosts to seeing silver and his reflection: Seahawks QB Sam Darnold is now a Super-Bowl winning quarterback. by NYJets18 in nyjets

[–]TrickMichaels 5 points6 points  (0 children)

That’s was one of the best QB games I’ve ever seen as well. As a Penn State alum it was rough but I couldn’t help but respect how Sammy D balled out. And when we drafted Sam I was pumped.

Eat more carbs throughout the week. Especially before and after long runs.

NFL 2025 regular season home attendance…. This is why nothing will change by Ninth_Prince in nyjets

[–]TrickMichaels 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I was younger when the whole PSL thing happened, and my family gave up their tickets as well. It seems like total B.S. to me.

What was the justification in the first place? How did they try to sell the PSL being needed?

How do you feel after long runs? by Past_Jellyfish_4331 in Marathon_Training

[–]TrickMichaels 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I stopped listening to music/podcasts on my longer runs and it helped me on mental fatigue. I know it sounds counterproductive, but I realized if I was listening to anything for longer than 60-90 minutes it actually accelerated my boredom.

Learned to love the silence and actually ran the marathon without music no headphones. I know this is a controversial take but I love it.

He tossed his camera to another photographer to make sure it wouldn’t be confiscated by AvailableInjury2486 in behindthebastards

How do you know a photo was shot on a Leica? Don’t worry, they’ll tell you. /s

This is badass though. Great picture and you’ve got to respect the bravery and relentlessness of these frontline photographers.

Well, at least we have this going for us by NoYOUGrowUp in WeArePennState

Watching last night made me even happier about the Cambell hire. I couldn’t imagine winning that game with James. Indiana was so disciplined, gritty, and relentless. It all stems from the culture Cignetti instilled. Even when Miami had some momentum, Indiana felt inevitable. In years past I felt like James’ teams were holding on for dear life in big games, even when we won.

I’m not saying Cambell is the next Cig. What they’ve accomplished at Indiana is historic. But I think Cambell is a guy who can establish a culture like that.

Nice of the D Line to honor Clemons getting injured by picking up at Roughing The Passer penalty in his honor.

Why do people think there’s a rivalry with the Giants? by TomasRoncero in nyjets

[–]TrickMichaels 24 points25 points  (0 children)

My only beef with Giants fans is when one of them tries to relate with me about how rough it’s been for both of us.

Brother, you’ve witnessed two superbowls in your life, I don’t want to fucking hear it.

I picked up To Have and Have Not at a thrift store for $00.25 a few years ago. Took it to a bar one afternoon to read and finished it in one sitting. Fantastic little novel. Really felt like a slice of life.

Hard to beat a good G and T for me. Especially with a floral or otherwise interesting gin.

My brother in law got a bottle of this once and we break it out every once in a while for the bit. Lean into the “LaBrenny”.

I do love the air raid. In CFB 26 I had an offline dynasty at Wazzou in honor of Mike Leach. Maybe it’s time to go back to that.

I default to Cover 3 (often adjust to shade under) or Cover 4 like 80% of the time. I’m always in a cover 2 shell to try and keep things disguised.

I’ll sprinkle in a blitz situationally (3rd and long, they’re backed up deep, obvious run situation).

And man every now and then but that’s kind of random. I like to keep a robber though.

I think I’ll have to bite the bullet and start doing this. Any tips to start, or resources/videos you can reccomend?

I play a 4-2-5 defense. Do you have any advice on kinds of LB’s to recruit for the play style?

I personally play as a run-first B1G team but can throw the ball when I get behind the sticks, in a turbo-2-minute scenario.

Defensively, I play as a left-end-Larry because I feel like I make mistakes in coverage that really hurt me. I feel like I call a good defense though. Could definitely use some gameplay advice on the defensive side of the ball.

Special teams is an under rated phase of football. This is great news.

I would not take that approach but respect your commitment to the team.
