So I categorize teams like this.

Dumpster fire - Have never had success ever. Not a rebuild...a build. Going to bring a shitshow some success.

( Akron, Kent , UMass etc)

Flash in the pan schools - Teams that have found success for very brief times because a generational player played there. ( Marshall with Moss , Miami of Ohio ( Ben Roethlisberger) Reno with Kap.

Middle of the road - Teams who have has steady mediocrity and occasional success as a coach passed through but have never sniffed a national title ( Michigan State , Arizona , Iowa )

Close but no Cigar - Teams who have been close but never won the big one

Blue bloods - Most power Teams minus BYU lol

What's up coaches.

Glad to have you here. I am very appreciative of your membership in the community.

You will often hear me talk about our community and the desire to be a non toxic community that is supportive of one another.

I know it sounds insane but the truth is I have already built one on Facebook with 75,000 members in it that is absolutely thriving.

One of the keys to it has always been our willingness to remove toxic people while boosting as many good contributions as we can.

Everyone eats. I want to see everyone have a good time. I want everyone to succeed and I want everyone of you to create fun content because for me at least this community is a huge part of my mental health because of how much fun it can be. Gaming is how I relax...meeting you guys is how I relax. Creating fun content is how I relax.

Lets do it. Lets build this place together.

Reports from the front lines

Alright Headquarters. Since I am at work through the majority of the early release period and cannot yet play the game I would like to hear from our members.

What do you think overall?

Please if you choose to respond add some details about why something is better or worse.

If you have a favorite or least impressive change let us know.

Thank you.

You have to appreciate the hustle and work ethic of Rio West.

Check him out.

Worth a read if reading is your thing.

My man Rio West and Dynasty Central.GG are doing work.

Looking forward to seeing some content here in the Headquarters.

For those who prefer to watch vs Listen. This would be way more popular if we were 23 year old instagram chicks..

CFB 27 is upon us. I am in the process of setting up the Al Bundy Dad's league for this year and have been wondering how other league owners are feeling about the gap in resources even between low teams and how it impacts the coaches and league.

Based on the information I have seen the low end of the spectrum is Kent with around 410 points

The top of the Bottom 20 sits at just over 1000 points.

Obviously all of it is bad...but in a league of 16 picking from the bottom 20 or so you have teams with double the resources available at the start.

Is anybody concerned about the impact of this?

How are you handling it if at all?

Season one

Episode 2

There is a saying “You never know when love starts but you always know when it ends”. Sean Mulligan will tell you he fell in love with football at 7 years old the very first time he hit his best friend Mark playing pop warner. The sound of his pads cracking together, the feeling of power, and the laughter that followed from both boys sealed the deal. Growing up in Revere you either played Hockey,Baseball or Football. It was as if other sports didn't even exist. Sean and Mark chose right away…or maybe they never really had a choice and destiny chose for them.

It has been 4 days since Mark dropped a bomb in the middle of his life again. Mark has seemingly been doing this to him his whole life. Mark was born 9 days before him, lived 2 houses down and was always the smarter of the two. From the time they were infants Mark and Sean have been as close as brothers, have fought each other countless times only to go right back to playing minutes later as boys do growing up and basically never thought of each other as best friends…they were brothers.

Now as Sean walks up to Mark's door he doesn't know quite what to say. He knocks twice and twists the nob almost simultaneously as he enters the house. “Mark….where the fuck are ya.” he shouts.

“I'm in the yard..grab a couple of beers” Mark can be heard saying.

Sean opens the fridge and grabs two Sam Adam's before opening the screen door to the small yard behind the house. He hands Mark one and opens his own. He takes a long slug of it as Mark speaks.

“So, are you thinking of taking the job or what?” Mark asks, cutting straight to the point.

“What job?” Sean quips. “That ain't no job..its a funeral procession for a program that died 4 years ago.”

Mark sighs, he puts his hands on his hips and slumps. His voice drops and then his head. “Look around you Sean… for once can you just drop the pity party? You getting passed over was wrong but don't blame me for it and don't blame the team. You have a chance…here and now to write your own chapter…to set the wrong things right.”

Sean sips his beer , swallows and takes a step towards Mark “ Is that what this is…is this my moment…should I never let it go? Am I B- Rabbit in this story?”

“C'mon man…for fucks do you want the job or not.”Mark says putting him on the spot.

“Of course I want it…it's the only damn job I have wanted since I started this shit!” Sean says his voice rising to a shout.

“Then what the fuck is your problem? I am giving you the damn job and you want to argue with me about it.” Mark replies, meeting his energy.

“The problem is I wasn't even your first choice…I was your last option.” Sean says throwing his glass bottle against the fence shattering it.

The Headquarters is very young here on reddit...infancy even.

We are growing reasonably quickly though and it is fantastic to have you here for it on the ground floor.

It is you guys who will help set the culture of the community here.

As this sub grows there is going to be tons of content coming and I am here for it.

I want to see your best game play, Tips and tricks , guides , dynasty wins and heartbreaking losses. The top recruits, guys bailing into the portal and of course leagues.

Thank you all for being here. There are numerous communities you could join but hopefully you will call this one home.
