A Word With Chester

Last night, it finally happened. Chester Reboulet, the legendary EA Sports College Football 2006 coach, lost a game.

It was the first loss in over 60 consecutive games for Coach, and it came only after winning titles with Duke, Mississippi State, and Pearl Harbor University. It came only after increasing the CPU's ability to do nearly everything; it seems I finally found a level of competition where the cover three won't successfully defend a great running team.

And "great" is just the word to describe #14 Colorado's rushing attack. Led by a young (he's actually very young - not even born yet, because the Playstation is currently simulating a season circa 2020) man named Porter, CU punished the PHU defense for over 200 yards on the ground. Combined with unfortunate decisions from the PHU quarterback, and a devastating injury to PHU's #1 receiver, CU's home crowd and game plan proved too powerful.

Coach Reboulet will struggle on - he's been down this road before, winning 52 consecutive games before losing a heartbreaker, only to regroup and string together the latest record streak.

The coach is a winner.

get online and play some real people. They challenge you every game. Plus they force you to adjust your game plan.

yeah, I should... but I have some modem placement issues at the moment...

Everyone will be happy to learn that PHU's following game, against Syracuse, was a rousing success. In typical Playstation "love you / hate you" fashion, the contest wasn't even close. Syracuse's starting QB was benched in the first quarter, after his 3rd interception pass, and was replaced with a shittier, whiter QB who went on to toss a whopping (and record-setting) 8 additional interceptions. PHU's 11 interceptions broke UCLA's previous record of 10.

Final score: 101-0.

Good to hear that the Kamikazes are still going strong.
