ECFA 2010-11 (Ed's Colege Football Association)

[mark robin]

we need a group pic of all your teams.

That's not a bad idea. I'm not sure they'd all fit on the board at one time! But I should do that, and I also should get more shots like the warmup shots that Reg posts in his game recaps.

ECFA will resume soon - I have an EPFA game between Denver and San Francisco to get in today. Looking forward to that.

I also have pictures to post from Week 1 of the ECFA once I get them all cropped and resized.

Pictures:

Some EPFA from Steelers-Patriots (I didn't take any during Denver-San Francisco). And then from Week 1's college slate.

1: New England's Sam Cunningham (#39) looks for space on a well-blocked run play.
2: Pittsburgh's Loren Toews breaks through to hunt Cunningham down.
3: New England on offense.
4: New England blocks up another running play, but safety Mike Wagner (#23) comes around the edge and makes the tackle.
5: New England's defense returns the favor, as Pittsburgh's Preston Pearson (#26) is whacked near the sideline.

1) New England's last-play hail mary to the end zone, but it was incomplete.

2) Purdue on offense vs. Nebraska.

3) Purdue finds paydirt.

4) Purdue gets a good open-field tackle on Nebraska's #4 on a punt return - he had room.

1) Texas lines up against the Florida defense.

2) Florida running back #2 finds room on the right, and he eventually scored.

3) Kentucky ready for the snap against Michigan.

4) Michigan's #82 makes a key stop, keeping the Kentucky receiver from getting a first down.

5) Michigan finishes off a long touchdown pass.

1) Michigan's MLB #45 fills the gap to bankrupt the Kentucky attack.

2) Kentucky's #20 Derrick Locke finds the end zone.

3) Check out Ohio State's #6 and #7 at left, blocking the gunners on a punt return.

4) Ohio State's #44 looks open, doesn't he? Not so much when you remember the 1-second run off after the catch. Florida State has him bracketed.

5) Virginia's tailback (#33) tries to power for some yards vs. Illinois.

[RooMorgans]

1) Virginia's #83 makes a catch, and has more people chasing him than the Bandit.

2) Illinois' #8 can't quite get away with the end zone in site.

3) But he got there this time!

4) Oklahoma kicks off to Syracuse.

5) When I stopped the board, Syracuse had an open receiver in the left corner - but after it stopped ... not so much!

Ed

[RooMorgans]

1) Syracuse QB #12 barrels in from the 2 for a touchdown.

2) Oklahoma's RB DeMarco Murray (#7) is caught from behind by a Syracuse linebacker.

3) A Syracuse receiver tries to find the end zone as an Oklahoma safety reacts.

4) Murray is free and they ain't gonna catch him.

5) Syracuse in a full-house backfield.

wow. thanks for the pics. i sure like your Steelers CC, and the Pats look good, cant wait to get mine. i dont see how some of you guys can play so many games, my back would start to hurt...lol. thx again for all the pics.

That's part of the reason why I play with the game board on the floor. Forces me to sit down. If I have it on a table, and I'm standing the entire time, my back would revolt and I wouldn't be able to play nearly as much.

The other advantage this way is that it makes it very difficult to lose track of where the ball goes on a throw or kick, because it's not going to drop any great distance.

I have two quick games to get in that I promised wolverine to help with his solo league, then I'm back to action with Week 2 college and pro games.
