We are in USA A#6 but we won both tournaments we entered last season (GLB Invitational and Texas Two Step Tournaments). Our conference is just as competitive as any in GLB.



Hmmmm. Issues:

1.) You haven't played any top 50 teams to see how you would do. Marblehead is a top 100 team, but squeaking out a 3 point with vs them in a scrimmage game doesn't prove you belong. Especially when I know they didn't try at all in that game. I would actually rate your team very similarly to Marblehead or my team. Somewhere in the #50 to #100 range. That doesn't make you a lock for a top 64 tournament.

2.) Your OT's are level 28 and 29. The Level 28 RT is actually a OG? That alone means that you would give up 8-10 sacks a game against a decent pass rushing team. It could easily turn into a slaughter.

I will put you on the standby list. Besides the OT situation, you at least have the talent to be in the game against a top 50 team.


I don't know if there is going to be a next year, but if you are a A or AA or non-USA AAA team and you want to prove that your team is top 50, then the only way to do it is to play top 50 teams (and win). Having a 87 game winning streak vs bad teams doesn't prove it.


Yeah we had a lot of trouble replacing our level 31 OT that went inactive at the end of last season. Had no choice but to try and find viable replacements at other positions on the line. Regardless, we aren't trying to prove anything. We just wanted a chance to play against tougher competition. Our only intent in these scrim tournaments is to find ways to get better.

Thanks for putting us on the standby list.


If your only intent is to get better, I would suggest just sending invites to good teams.

I would ask that all teams entering this tournament are playing to win.

I'm not saying this is you, but anyone not playing to win should bow out.

We always play to win. Tournaments like these help to fill the gaps during the season and it keeps our team motivated. Our player agents look forward to it.

Too many Las Vegas teams.

I thought I had already added you. Sorry!


The line is getting blurred between the teams that are in and the standby teams.

I have you on the *likely in* teams, but we will have to see how it goes.

Solid team though. It would have helped if you had played a top 50 team or 2 to be able to judge better.

I'm usually too busy focusing on regular season opponents to play many scrimmages. I've always accepted ones sent to me though. We haven't lost one yet (although a couple teams came close) so I guess that says something. We've beaten some top teams in past seasons. Hell, we even beat the Nighthawks in season 2 (http://goallineblitz.com/game/game.pl?game_id=15982) before they won the CCG and were promoted (and before they had a killer running game).

Anyway, if we don't get in, no biggie, just would like to see how we match up since I didn't try last season.

Do you see what I mean about these guys stalking me?

Mods won't do anything about it either besides give them 2 day bans which they could care less about. They just come back harder when unbanned. Bort needs have an anti-stalking rule.


What? When did I "stalk" anyone? My first post, and second were completely related to Detroit. I posted about you and your team in a tourney thread in which only the "top teams" are supposed to be in it questioning the method used to evaluate teams and or the person running it.

We've already proven that it's nowhere near true. I've named five teams already that are better than 95% of the teams that enter that bailed because they know what a joke this is. Much respect to whoever actually "wins this", I'm sure it required some sort of skill combined with a lot of blind luck.

FYI: Accusing me of stalking will get a rebuttal even if you don't say my name directly.

but whatever

sorry

your level is just too low right now. You would be playing teams full of level 35, 36, amd 37's in round 1.

You would lose by 80 points.


maybe next year if you have a good recruiting class in the offseason?

Glad to see one of the Titans of the game back in.

Get the rest of the USA Pro slackers on board and don't let TSE weasel his way out. Haha

Pandas have the punting advantage over every other team IMO.
