Soaring High. A coach mode series

☆☆☆☆Soaring High☆☆☆☆

The Washington D.C University Red Tails coach mode series.

Season 2

Episode 9

Since Redshirt Sophmore Billy Sun prayed for the power of C'thulu to rescue the 1-4 Red Tails the team has undergone an awe inspiring shift. More importantly Sun has gotten better.

Now at home against Coastal Carolina the team trails 28-21 late in the 4th quarter after watching their 21-7 lead evaporate.

Xavier glances at the clock 1:37 seconds to go 83 yards. He feels sick to his stomach.

Xavier stands just feet away from the offensive huddle on the sideline. Just as Xavier gets ready to motivate his players Billy bursts into an impassioned speech "This is our time, nothing can stop us" as he speaks Xavier can hear a change in his voice, it gets deeper, heavier and more coarse. "True victory cannot be defined by a scoreboard, it is defined by the vanquished souls of our opposition. "

The team looks on oblivious to the changes in his voice. Xavier adds one more thing "

Offensive players put their hands in the center...some look confused...some look inspired...some just look terrified to even take the field. "REDTAILS" they shout.

James McGee stands just behind Xavier feeding him analytics "Wightman is the key, they can't cover him out of the backfield...feed him." McGee shouts to Sun as the team sprints onto the field.

Play after play the offense picks up important yards. With 48 seconds to go they convert a critical 3rd and 7 and take their first timeout.

Sun runs over to the sideline to get the next plays, a gleam in his eyes and for the first time Xavier begins to believe maybe things won't go wrong...maybe this will be different.

McGee sticks his face into the huddle "Wightman...feed Wightman."he says to Sun..find him and we tie this up"

3 plays later as the clock reaches just 13 seconds Sun indeed finds Wightman matched up against a linebacker and squeezes a floater between 2 defenders to get the ball down to the 1. With 7 seconds on the clock the Red Tails punch it in to the end zone to a deafening roar from the home crowd. The score sets up the biggest decision in Xavier Archers young coaching career...tie and risk overtime or go for 2 and the win.

The offensive unit rushes to the sideline...Xavier nods his head and holds up a single finger...the safe choice he says to himself. Billy Sun sees this and a feeling comes over him...building in his stomach and rising into his chest. With the team huddled on the sideline he makes eye contact with Xavier.

Xavier stares at his QB and the rest of the offense...suddenly he notices what looks like tentacles creeping slowly out of the corner of Sun's mouth and he hears it...the voice of C'thulu "Go For Two"!

Xavier can't believe he is doing this and nods his head "2...were gonna go for the win!"

The crowd goes silent...you can hear a Cosmic horror fart from inside a human.. Billy Sun on a keeper...

RED TAILS WIN 29-28!

Pump the brakes..the future is brighter than today.

I have been a Washington fan since I watched them lose to the Raiders when Marcus Allen went nuts. 38-9 score or something terrible like that.

I was in school and watched the Franchise win 3 Super Bowls under Joe Gibbs...

I watched Dan Snyder take one of the premier franchises in the NFL and turn them into a joke...

I believed RG3 was the second coming of Steve Young until the Seattle game effectively ended his career.

Now..Jayden Daniels...a better owner...the Commanders...a new Stadium soon.

Despite the injury concerns Jayden is eventually going to be a very good if not great QB. Sonny is going to be Urlacher 2.0 and getting another top half of the draft 1st round pick is going to be a key piece to this Puzzle.

I have seen the worst of times in this franchise...this ain't it.

Let's do this Knights.

The end of last season was a kick in the nuts after an incredible ride.

Now tomorrow it is time to strap in once more.

Here are some feelings I have on the upcoming season.

This team is going to need to be a top 10 scoring team to overcome streaky goaltending.

I believe Carter Hart will be good enough in goal to steal a few games and bad enough to give a few back

Mitch Marner is going to put up MVP level numbers.

Jack Eichel is going to lead the league in assists

The Knights will win the Pacific division but it is going to be very tough.

Dynamic NIL Idea

​

Every week NIL should adjust based on interest.

For example.

A 4 star player believes he is worth 100 NIL.

In week 0 he receives 4 offers from various schools. They each offer 100.

After advancent his NIL request goes up to 150.

3 teams pursue him at 150.

The following week it increases to 200.

Neither school chooses to pay 200.

The following week it drops to 175..

1 school pursues him at 175...

The reverse could play out.

A player opens at 350.

Nobody wants hi. At 350...

It drops to 300.. Nobody wants him at 300.

It drops to 250.. and so on.

If for whatever reason Nobody wants him it could drop all the way to 0..

Eventually he would be forced to work at Taco bell

Soaring High S2/E6

☆☆☆☆Soaring High☆☆☆☆

The Washington D.C University Red Tails coach mode series.

Season 2. Episode 6

The Washington Red Tails are in the charter terminal at Mobile Alabama International Airport celebrating the teams 2nd win of the season against the Southern Alabama Jaguars.

Head coach Xavier Archer , defensive coordinator Carson "Tiny" Phillips and James McGee huddle together in a small quiet corner of the gate while the players talk amongst themselves after the teams gutsy 33-30 double overtime win.

"Look, I gotta talk to you guys about some shit going down with Billy Sun, I didn't want to say anything before the game just in case but now I don't see any other choice." Xavier says a look of concern in his eyes about what he would be saying next.

James Mcgee's head cocks a little off to the side "Is he in trouble?" He asks. "I mean he has been a little erratic lately, I figured he started doing cocaine or butt chugging tequila "

Tiny's face twists "Butt chugging tequila?" Why the fuck would that be at the top of your list of concerns dude?

Xavier shakes his head in disgust...takes a deep breath "Sun got the cosmic horror C'thulu living inside him intestines and I met him 2 days ago in our office." He says the words shoot out of his mouth in such a jumble he can barely believe he said it.

Tiny's head snaps back towards the head coach "Hold up...just hold one motherfuckin second man

...is that dude like 6 inches tall...got a fuckin tentacle face and weird turtle lookin fin hand things."

"Wait...you know about him."Xavier says surprised.

"Something ate 5 of my uncrustables I keep hidden in my desk, I thought it was a giant ass ugly rat...I chased it with a broom...I damn near called an exterminator." Tiny exclaims as he speaks with his hands demonstrating how he swung the broom. "Little grayish freaky ass thing scared the shit out of me."

James cannot believe what he is hearing and can barely summon the words to participate in this insanity. " Do you mean to tell me C'thulu the cosmic horror is not only real...but he lives in our starting QB?" He says dumbfounded.

"And he ate my uncrustables, don't forget that part." Tiny adds

"Well we gotta get him out of Sun before it's too late...call the Ghostbusters or the kids from Stranger things ...someone before something bad happens."

Xavier's head droops, his shoulders slump forward "Look, I talked to him...he said he was invited...he said Sun asked specifically for the power of C'thulu inside him." He takes a moment to let the information wash over their faces before continuing. "Sun got it done today...next week we got another big one and maybe C'thulu living inside him isn't as bad as it sounds. I mean he did account for 3 TD's and we pulled out a win."

Tiny sighs "Look man, if you think we can make it work I am with you."

James shakes his head "This sounds like a terrible idea...but ok."

Xavier smiles "Let C'thulu cook man."

Soaring High ( Coach Mode series )

☆☆☆☆Soaring High☆☆☆☆

Season 2. Episode 4

The Washington D.C University Red Tails coach mode series.

Darkness has fallen on the campus in Washington D.C. The Red Tails and Xavier Archer are struggling through a series of near miss losses and have fallen to 1-4 on the season.

For the first time since being hired he is hearing the whispers of a coaching change.

Xavier desperate to right the ship has brought his teams starting quarterback into his office for a meeting.

"Billy, I hate having to do this, I hate even having to say this, but I have no choice, I am running out of options. I need to speak with C'thulu."

Billy's eyes widen, he shakes his no slowly. Back and forth squeezing his eyes shut. "I don't think you want that coach, he isn't exactly a people person, also he has a tendency to drive everyone crazy, It’s probably better if you just tell me what you need and I'll pray it to him and then get back to you."

Xavier gets up out of his chair and walks towards his quarterback. "Son, you started this thing, you brought him in here and since we have found increasingly more diabolical ways to lose games, you are all over the place, were dropping passes, shit...just yesterday you could have run for 20 yards and a first down and pulled up to throw for no damn reason." He says the passion in his voice climbing as the words spill out of him.

"I know Coach, I don't know what got into me...I could see the first down marker...I could see daylight...but...something inside me." His voice trails off and his eyes roll back in into his head.

Suddenly Billy looks up towards the ceiling, his mouth opens and he goes into a fugue state...

"Billy...what...what the fuck is wrong with you man...you look like someone just rammed a pineapple up your shitpipe."

Tentacles reach out from the young signal callers mouth...his throat bulges, convulsions rock his body as a green demonesque figure spills out of his mouth onto the floor. Barely 6 inches tall yet the aura of cosmic space horror mine as well be that of a behemoth.

Billy's body stands frozen, eyes up, mouth agape as if time for him has frozen

Xavier watches the scene convinced he has lost his mind

"I AM C'THULU...ALL BEFORE ME SHALL TREMBLE AND OBEY." The words crawl from the tentacles.

"I'm Xavier, look dude..." he pauses...the time lingers as if he lost his train of thought.."Shouldn't you be taller....damn I feel like I am losing my mind"

C'thulu smiles "I've been known to have that affect on people and yes...a common misconception is I am some huge Goliath" he says raising his gelatinous webbed hands towards the sky.

"Anyway" Xavier says rubbing his eyes "I need you to get on the same page as us as long as your gonna." Xavier pauses again searching for the words. "Wait a second...why the fuck you come out of Billy's mouth anyway."

C'thulu looks at the paralyzed quarterback suspended in time "To be honest I just wanted something close to campus and I figured he wouldn't mind...just the same he doesn't know I am living in his bowels...so when were done here just keep it under wraps." The cosmic entity says matter casually.

Xavier nods "Fine...but no more crazy shit, I need his brain working and to cut down on the turnovers...if we don't turn things around soon were all gonna get shitcanned"

"I guess I can work with that" C'thulu says as he considers the situation. "This is my first gig in about 1700 years, but the kid means well so I will see what I can do."

With that C'thulu slowly slithers up Billy's chest and dives tentacles first into his mouth, a slow bulge moves down his throat and he is gone.

A moment later Billy's body comes back to life as if nothing happened

"Thanks for coming to see me Billy...I need you early tomorrow for some extra film stuff...and maybe drink some water." Xavier says

Billy looks around slightly confused "Ummm...ok Coach..."

Soaring High Season 2. Episode 3

☆☆☆Soaring High☆☆☆☆

The Washington D.C University Red Tails coach mode series.

Season 2

Episode 3

Xavier Archer paces up and down the sidelines of Mustang field just off the D.C Campus. The visiting Oregon State Beavers have been slowly but surely gaining the upper hand. The Redtails manage to kick a 50 yard FG as time expires in the first half to get within 1 and trail 14-13 in front of a less than half full Red Tail crowd.

"The scoreboard says 14-13 but it is gonna take more than C'thulu to keep us in this in the 2nd half." Xavier says into his headset..

James sits upstairs in the booth "We gotta keep running the ball, Sun is all over the place...think we can talk him into a switch of deities...I hear Hanuman is thinking about getting back into the mix and we could use the deep ball" he says.

Tiny pipes in "You talking about the Monkey god, ain't nobody seen him in years, last I heard he was hocking mood rings on TikTok and doing dance videos with his 4 arms and shit."

"C'thulu is all we got, maybe if we pray hard enough he can roll in the thick ass fog or something so their QB is just as bad as ours." Archer says unbiased by the absurdity around him

The Second half starts with a healthy cloud cover but no fog...worse the Beavers defense seems to have made more adjustments and hold the Red Tails scoreless in the 3rd..

The same 14-13 score holds into the early 4th when finally the Red Tails tally another 3 points with a 46 yard field goal that just snuck in the post to take a 16-14 lead.

"Tiny I need you to dial something up, seems like C'thulu is on vacation this week and I don't know if we got another drive of any kind left in the tank." Xavier says as he tries to rally the defense to finish this off.

Oregon state however has the second coming of Dan fuckin Marino and they easily move down the field after a 43 yard pass into double coverage and the sidelines.

Xavier knows the field goal is good as soon as it leaves the kickers foot and he gathers the offense and Sun on the sidelines as the kick return team takes the field

"Alright Sun..nothing to worry about. 17-16..you got this. No mistakes...no sacks...we got 1:09 and no time outs so use the sidelines...just get us into field goal range and we got this." Xavier says doing his best to motivate the young signal caller.

"C'thulu is with me sir, his cosmic power rests in my feet..in my legs...my lungs and my soul...he will guide the ball..I may as well close my eyes and just throw it because victory is all but assured."

3 plays later Oregon State picked it off and returned it for a TD to seal the 24-16 victory.

The Red Tails are now 1-2.

Thank you guys

Hey everyone.

Just wanted to say thank you to the members here. I visit other pages and it is honestly exhausting to see so many people on tilt over the game.

Seems like the majority of us here are fans of the game or at the very least not dreaming up ways to complain about it all day all night.

I think there is a ton of room for improvement and I know for a fact the developers cruise various groups so if you have good ideas make sure to post them here.

Soaring High Season 2 Episode 2

☆☆☆☆Soaring High☆☆☆☆

The Washington D.C University Red Tails coach mode series

Season 2 Episode 2

The opening week loss to North Texas was a straight up boot to the yambag. Apparently just because you pray to C'thulu doesn't mean he will help, I guess not every deity can be a Hanuman.

The Washington Red Tails and college football roll on and a second straight road game to Central Michigan await.

Xavier is putting the finishing touches on what has been a particularly physical practice.

"Tiny" Phillips approaches wiping the sweat from his bald head "Coach, do you really think we can afford the extra wear and tear? I mean...we ain't a bunch of bitches but at the same time we got a few bitches..not gonna name names...but bitches we indeed have."

Xavier laughs even though he doesn't want too "Tiny...we need to toughen up. If we don't run the ball consistently Sun is gonna kill us. The less that boy throws the better we will be, and on defense we gotta start really beating the ever living shit out of people..we got no attitude..no mean streak..nothing about us that scares anyone."

Tiny stands nods his head slowly, he can't argue against it..."Coach I got this." Tiny blows his whistle 4 times and the players stop and all turn towards the two leaders of the team " Line it up on the goal line...were doing bear crawls...end zone to end zone..then back...you hit your knees and we start over!"

Smiles drop...eyes open wide..jaws drop.. bears crawl

Game day

It turns out 650 yards worth of Bear Crawls sends a message. The soreness, pain and frustration endured by the Red Tails manifested itself in a parade of violence. This time the players sent a message, one the Chippewas might not forget. 42 rushes for 245 yards and a defensive effort to write home about resulted in a 22-7 win to even their record at 1-1

Next at home vs Oregon State.

Revere Riders Blog. Season 2.

Revere Riders Blog #8

Season 2 First quarter update.

The first 3 games if the season have passed and the Revere Riders and Sean Mulligan are definitely in the fuck around phase of the season. With so much roster turnover and an ongoing battle at quarterback this season promises to be anything but uneventful.

Game 1 - Boston College

This year the Rivalry against Boston College moves to Alumni stadium. After last seasons blowout win I think I came into the game a little overconfindent...it reminded me of my first time in a strip club. At the time I had a smoking hot girlfriend so I thought I was the shit...these girls are gonna be all over me. I bet they don't even ask me for money for a lap dance because they are going to be so into me.

You can imagine how much success I had at the strip club that fateful night.  Thankfully my smoking hot girlfriend had given me her blessing to go so at least when I got home I wasn't in trouble...

But I digress...Boston College wasn't too pleased with last years game so they came out highly motivated and jumped out to a 21-13 half time lead. The second half was much closer but ultimately 2 failed 2 point conversion attempts by Revere ended up the difference and Boston won a close one 27-25

Vs Air Force

The Falcons pulled into Revere confident at 1-0. That confidence lasted until the second quarter started and it was all Revere from there.  A 16-0 Revere halftime lead was just what we needed and we rolled in the second half to win 39-10. The Riders used 3 Running backs to keep the chains moving and forced 2 turnovers including a pick 6 for the second week in a row. This is more like it.

Vs Vanderbilt

The Riders were drunk white guy dancing confident. We could take on the world and Vandy was just going to be this weeks victims. The game sure started that way at least as the Riders scored touchdowns on each of the their first 4 possession to take go into the half up 28-7. The crazy thing about CFB27 is if you don't put a team away early you might not put them away at all. Vanderbilt fought back in the 3rd and made the score 28-21. I am not gonna lie..I get stressed...I can feel things starting to slide and usually when it happens I get to sit here and watch things totally fall apart. Well this time we made just enough plays to win 35-28 but it came down to a 4th and 3 at the 38 to finish Vandy.

The Riders are now 2-1 as we push towards the midway season report and grades update.
