Tecmo Super Bowl Fanstasy draft

[CuseTroop]

Hey guys just a random thought but should we use the syracusefan facebook page for this ? Just thinking it might be easier for alerts when a pick has been submitted? I can't use tapatalk as my phone is setup for my work and I had to remove certain apps.

I already spend all day at work on this site, now you want me to add facebook to it too?! lol

I was the only 1 of my friends to get this game when it came out. came out in '91 when I was 12. my friend had the original tecmo bowl and we played that a lot, to say we wore out tecmo super bowl is an understatement. easily the greatest sports game ever.

honestly 1 of my fondest childhood memories was playing against my friends older brother, was losing and literally last play of game I sack him and return the fumble for the game winning td. it was bedlam!

 

[Orangezoo]

Also not that I am not juiced about picking the best team by far but the fact a nes package will be at my doorstep friday with this game... along with a few others .. I can't wait.

Those are the ultimate moments.. when there moment of relief of winning is crushed by a last second devastating score.

Sorry, I couldn't do it on facebook. Boycotting it for the most part, but if everyone else wanted to, I don't mind someone taking my slot if it was on facebook.

if IO is sending reminders I am all good.. typically only use facebook for reminder based things.. parties, reunions, weekend hoops league.. etc. I am with you though prefer not .. just is handy once and a while. But I am good with reminders being sent.. and who am I kidding I am on here 4 hours a day anyways...

A few of my posse would have slammed their controller on that one.
Most humiliating, is have you ever "stomped" a human player or "popcorned" them?
You know, the Okoye move against a human player? It was beyond embarrassing.

Man, I'd be lost without facebook lol. I would have to spend way to much time trying to stay in touch with family. With facebook, I can just post pictures, and status updates. Thats normally enough for everyone back home to know 1. I'm still alive 2. the wife hasent left me yet and 3. for my gramma, I'm eating enough food

My only gig on facebook is for business networking. Otherwise, would have deactivated it a long time ago (already did that once!). I still don't get linked in. Absosmurfly useless for networking, but fb is not bad for that.

I just PM'd folks on here. I'm not assuming everybody can sit on this site while working all day like I do so the party starts when it starts. Once the picks start rolling it won't matter because there will be a ton of back and forth banter after the picks.

On that note, is everyone ok with posting their picks in bold print to make it easier for those browsing throw to see who's off the board?

Ok so 8 teams.. 12 picks per team... not to change anything but maybe add some stakes... what if everyone was to submit a pre-ordained ranking... 96 points for the first player down to one for the last. Each player gets an average score based upon all our rankings and the team with the highest score at the end wins? Or rank the top 150 players ? Just trying to think of a fun quantitative angle to this besides just looking at the stacked teams... I know asking waaay too much consider all of us our busy enough..

IO doesn't live in Alaska either... although if he did he would consider himself an elitest and too good to talk to lower 48 staters.

I hope Pace comes back tonight and maybe we can get the 1st round done, but if this will be fun.

There are ranking sites out there. Will post some and we can decide which we want to use after the fact. I breifly browsed one last week which is what gave me the idea for this. Luckily I have the memory of a walnut and enough self control to not go back and look again.

How bad do you guys want to play this game right now?
Alsacs, about the mime encoding, I wrote a base64 mime encoder/decoder a long while ago....
Now, when I see that, I just see a lady in red.

I have the old NES game, but had to get NES emulator for my labtop just so I could play it whenever I travel or am bored. I am in week 2 on my labtop right now with New England Patriots against the Cleveland Browns.

Lol - that sounds good to me... I trust you.. I am the same way..

I mean if somebody really wanted to cheat in this draft what can you really do? Makes it a bit pointless though to be quite honest. The fun is seeing who I remember as being good, and potentially being told otherwise by those on this board with better memories than myself after the fact.

The picture was suppose to be the Bo Jackson Keep Calm Zigzag t-shirt that you posted before IO.

Bo knows everything.

One of the more underrated aspects of the game(also frustrating) is when a big DL recovers a fumble and people try to tackle him and the offensive players bounce off the DL a la Bo Jackson style, and the only way to tackle them is too dive and make contact.
