Yep. That's why it always rains in GI. Up here we believe that games are won in the trenches, with defense and special teams, and most important, in the mud. We like to get dirty, hit you until your mouth bleeds, and lull into a false sense of security with our "boring" play. At that time, we strike.

By the rankings, looks like I'm a complete underdog the rest of the way. I'd have to agree, but hopefully I can pull off a couple more surprises. Why not, I made it this far, and it's not like San Diego and Fremont were nobodies.

What kinda stars are these? Lol.. I'm confused but either way I'm glad to still be in it. I think I attribute it to my Offensive and Defensive Lines. I had some close calls earlier in the tournament but I want to see how my team stacks up against the best.

1: Res Docs 97 (T1 O)
3: Toledo Vengeance 94 (T4 O, T3 D)
5: Austrian Invaders 93 (T2 O)
25: Defiance Bulldogs 81.5

Here is who is remaining from the round of 32. Not too bad of a predictor.

That does give us something to think about. So many times in online games we are drilled in the thinking that skill indexes or ratings mean nothing and we have to evaluate each player on our own if we want to be successful but apparently those ratings are valuable.

3 out of 4 are in the top 5 ratings and the 4th is a mod so obviously he cheated the system somehow

That's what I thought too

Must be something in the Ohio water as Ohio has 3/4 again, with the potential at another all-Ohio final.

I think my secret has been stamina, luck, and somehow having the right mix on defense. But I could all wrong. Maybe it is me being a mod and cheating lol.

I'm doubting the all-Ohio final this year though. No way I expected to get to the final 16, and the Invaders look way too tough for me to knock off. I hope I'm wrong but I'm going to predict that the best we can hope for is the Merc-Shaft winner to win another one for Ohio.

On a side note: Since one of the final 2 are guaranteed from Ohio, doesn't that mean that at least one of the final 2 have been from our great state in all 3 seasons? I believe also that at the least we will have 75%(4/6) with a shot at 83% in the history of the Cup. Who says the best football in the US is played in Texas?

I got it! Although they would deny it, the Admins are clearly from the United States. Specifically, Ohio. Why else would we have so many of the final 4 in most years? Or why else would a division 4 team with low in game ratings(who happens to be a mod) make it this far.

The Admins are Buckeyes, and we all get that benefit. To take it a step further, they're from NW Ohio.

Maybe from Toledo. Or they could be from Toledo, Spain, which makes them like toledo and therefore ohio.
