CFL Thursday night discussion

[RetroVK]

nice pass there

 

[RetroVK]

I am a horrible backgammon player. Decent at chess. Decent at Risk. Good at Poker. But I can't figure Backgammon out. The program I battle against (jellyfish) isn't even one of the tougher computer opponents

 

[RetroVK]

Hamilton may cover full game.

 

[RetroVK]

nice throw from willy. cannot type that too often

 

[RetroVK]

When I think knockerball I don't think of sport inside an inflatable pool product

 

[Schrute]

Drew Willy...Akron or am I wrong?

I suppose I could google

 

[Schrute]

Let's get 7 Legs

 

[scarf31]

Lmao...5 turnovers for Ham.

 

[scarf31]

Drew Willy...Akron or am I wrong?

I suppose I could google

Right conference

 

[RetroVK]

Yup MAC but not Akron

 

[RetroVK]

Here comes medlock attempt number one for the half for ya scarf

 

[Schrute]

Dammit...can't put my finger on it. Don't wanna look it up though. I feel like it will hit me in a minute

That's a nice 3

 

[RetroVK]

About to lose my sixth under bet in wnba this year due to overtime. Running very unlucky there despite having most of these games capped well. so frustrating

 

[scarf31]

Here comes medlock attempt number one for the half for ya scarf

Told ya...it was almost a lock he'd get a minimum 2...that leaves only one real play Peg has to make or Ham has to spoil to get over the top

 

[RetroVK]

Banks Fath

 

[RetroVK]

inteference/?

 

[RetroVK]

not interference but it will be called interference

 

[RetroVK]

guess you have to light masoli up at the sideline next time and take the roughing penalty

 

[scarf31]

not interference but it will be called interference

These guys have called everything as DPI tonight...not shocked at all.

 

[RetroVK]

should have been offsetting

 

[Schrute]

Need 4 more pornts

 

[RetroVK]

Yup it was consistent with what they had done prior. so that is a good thing

 

[RetroVK]

Need 4 more pornts

Two intentional safeties away

 

[scarf31]

Agree...always or never. Nothing worse than a wishy washy ref or an ump who calls the low outside strike AND high inside strike...make up your fuckin mind

 

[RetroVK]

Would be great if the commentator said "last team with the football loses"

 

[scarf31]

Two intentional safeties away

Give me a Medlock FG and 2 rouges, please.

 

[scarf31]

Would be great if the commentator said "last team with the football loses"

Lol

 

[Lareux]

Drew Willy...Akron or am I wrong?

UB

Right down the street from me

 

[RetroVK]

Welcome to the ingame lar

 

[RetroVK]

medlock attempt two

 

[Lareux]

The problem with many of the backgammon games are that the computer just rolls perfectly way too often, and roll extremely well a majority of the time. It's not so much about skill and strategy if they roll doubles right when they need it, or roll a 6/2 (or whatever) when it's the best roll possible for them in a certain situation. You can't do anything if your opponent just keeps rolling perfectly.

 

[scarf31]

UB

Right down the street from me

We have a winner...

 

[scarf31]

medlock attempt two

:shake2:

You are saying it is rigged?

 

[RetroVK]

i couldn't think of where either scrute but googled and didn't want to be a cheater

 

[scarf31]

Lar, did Willy have Starks as his RB? Cannot remember what years they were both there...

 

[RetroVK]

I notice I don't do well in races, lar. Where it is almost all luck from that point when you are within a few pips of one another

 

[Lareux]

You are saying it is rigged?

It certainly seems that way. At least with the 2 or 3 I've tried. Next time you play, before your opponent rolls, figure out which result (or 2 or 3) would be the best for him in the situation...and then see what they roll. It'll be uncanny at some point how often they roll "the nuts."

Even simply changing levels within the game/app will show you that the difference in the levels is really nothing more than better rolling results. The novice level guy will roll horribly, while the top level guy will roll as perfectly as he possibly can.

 

[Schrute]

Ahhh at least I had the conference right...I feel like we should randomly try to name the schools for these guys without looking them up

CJ Gable - USC...that one I almost remember more from his recruiting hype than actual play

 

[Lareux]

Willy wasn't starting when Starks was here from what I remember. It may have been Joe Licata under center.

 

[Schrute]

Joe Licata I could have gotten...would have bet a fair sum that Drew Willy was Akron

 

[RetroVK]

Nice catch by Underwood

 

[RetroVK]

three different guys intercepted that

 

[RetroVK]

underwood costs them seven

 

[RetroVK]

If Peg cannot win against this opponent, turning it over this many times, when are they going to win?

 

[scarf31]

underwood costs them seven

You can't try to give a game away more than Ham is tonight.

 

[Lareux]

Actually Scarf, it looks like they did play together. In 2008, the year UB played in a bowl game (in Toronto), they were both on the squad. Willy started more than I realized he did...I didn't think he started until Starks was gone, but it looks like Willy was gone first, or they graduated together. Shows how awful UB football is that not many people, from around here even, follow it very closely.

I remember that there was enormous value on UB during the Starks years as they always seemed to be underrated by the lines makers...he was a damn good back for them.

 

[RetroVK]

really need nats or rangers to do something

 

[Lareux]

2008 was 50 years after UB declined the invite to the Tangerine Bowl because 2 black players were not going to be allowed to play in the game. It was the only other time UB had been invited to a bowl game, and they rightly turned it down...so 2008 was a pretty big deal for them.
