Matt land walked so Jeff Shelby could run
Ryan pace walked so Pat smith can run
Stephen Anderson walked so grant sanders can run
Ben fowler ran so Zach Wilson could sprint
Zach Keyes was a landfill so Ryan Pace could be trash
Ryan Pace was a god you bastard
The return game and blowouts early weren't slider issues really. You just had generational talent out there on KR and your offense playing against mediocre teams that _used_ to give you challenging games when GRU was mid-awful. This team had essentially the college versions of AP, Lamar Jackson, Maurkice Pouncey (your center was actually super underrated for how he was playing, elite lineman there), and a Stanford CMC at WR/RS.
The game should make it harder to find and keep players like this tho. Recruiting is far too easy in this game even with artificially making more difficult by putting in custom rules
Zach Wilson needing to do his best Devin Hester impression trying to carry the team way more than he should have to lol
never slides but “wonders why pat smith can never stay healthy”
Pat Smith whenever he throws the ball inaccurately just absolutely NUKES it away from ANY receiver, it's hilarious
frfr
So true
Pat Smith is either an absolute SNIPER or he throws like he has 2 broken arms and a concussion
It’s honestly a good thing cause that means the defense can’t get it either lmao
@@soymilk9143there’s no in between💀
this series carrying the winter fr 🗣️🔥💯
Best one ever.

Ya gotta go Big 10 for the Michigan matchups. It'd be cool to see you bring Central Michigan to Big 10 too since they're pretty dominant.
Central Michigan should replace Indiana from the B1G 10
CMU will fall off hard and be the worst team in the conference if they’re moved. Leave them in the MAC and let them compete for titles
100% he has to go to the Big Ten! But go West division so that there’s a chance for a Big Ten championship matchup against Michigan
@@dannymccray4176idk cuz realistically do we want 3 Michigan matchups a year if they play in the regular season, conference championship, and national championship I think they gotta be in the same division and that still leaves a good chance of them playing in the playoff cuz Michigan goes in with 1 loss instead of 2 a playoff game would be cooler than the B1G championship imo
@@clay_utter honestly didn’t even cross my mind, but you make a solid point!
RE: kickoff returns, I had a Buffalo dynasty where my offense was spread option only (no normal runs or passes). My recruiting strategy was basically just speedy WRs/athletes and athletic blocking TEs, which had a side effect of making my return team crazy overpowered - I had a couple of games like the one in this video. After a couple seasons of that, my "solution" was just to let the CPU choose my returners and to make starters ineligible for the role - it doesn't prioritize speed like players do which makes it a lot harder if the best return stats on your team belong to a player who isn't as fast. And if a guy is both fast and has good return skills, he's probably starting somewhere.
Same, not with the recruiting but the return guy... I just never have a starter back there or on special teams for fear of injury
The worst thing about this series is it takes a week to see another episode
Fr
I be spreading It out throughout the week just watching 1-2 games at a time
@@AlabamaClassics I've been splitting the episodes up into 2-3 night parts to make them last lmao
That michigan game might be the greatest comeback in GRU history and Zach Wilson is easily the greagest return man of all time.
One thing I like to do that you could incorporate if you wanted, is I go person by person in coaching carousel, and when you get a new coordinator hired, it shows what playbook they use, then you switch the playbook to whatever each coordinators playbook is. Makes each season feel a little different. Unless it absolutely sucks, then you say the head coach has taken over play calling 😂
That’s more realistic too!! Great idea
"And our fans got a little confused and painted Navy on their chests" lol!!!
GRU merch when? Loving this series. Would love to see us go to the B10
Yessss! I'd Straight Up buy GRU Merch!
Zach Wilson is OP😂😂😂
Best player imo
I wonder why 🤔
Can’t wait for the 30 for 30 bout Lucks coaching career
Just started spring semester here in Fairbanks Alaska, and these videos are making the cold dark days infinitely better! Loving the series!!
How is it so far?
If you’re talking about the series, it’s AMAZING, and if you’re talking about Alaska, idk I don’t live there, I live on the opposite side of the country
Stay warm, friend 🫡
@@vince11harrisI lived in Alaska for 4 months. It was absolutely amazing!!!! The scenery will have pissed that tv doesn’t relate!!!!
Yuck. I thought anchorage was bad until I saw y’all weather. Highs in the negative 20-30’s
when you do series like this in the future, you should do a little more coverage on what's happening nation wide, like notable upsets, matchups, conference championship results, etc. As much as we are rooting for the Mastodons, still very fun to see our real life teams do well. EX. #5 Michigan taking down #9 Ohio State 34-20 was just awesome to see as a Michigan, only loss of the year was to you!
Congratulations on Grand Rapids first Championship! I love this series!
My heart was racing at 18:40
Michigan chokes against GRU… again
My heart fell out my arse 😂
Same
Fr
Player speed threshold should be closer to 50 if you want the kickoff returns to happen less. If you don't want to do that, you can increase kick power of the CPU so they kick more touchbacks/deeper in the endzone.
yeah realistically if a kick returner was that overpowered teams would never give him a chance to return the ball lmao
Zach Wilson glazing is at an all time high
John Davis has huge potential, I feel like the Mastodons are in good hands once Smith graduates
The freshman looks likes he’s been training with Eddie lacy😂
i love this series, i could watch it for hours.
And then we got a juco fullback we will never use 💀
I don't think GRU should leave the MAC but honestly just straight up becoming an independent might be a fun option, as you'd be able to schedule basically anyone you'd want. So you could do things like keep series against the Michigan MAC Schools, bring back the Notre Dame series (that was always a fun rivalry) and then have the flexibility to have schools on the schedule you might never play otherwise (outside of fringe playoff scenarios) like Clemson or Alabama. Plus this is (in universe) for a TV Show, so being able to schedule big name brands after winning a natty would keep ratings up.
Great video, I think the big 10 is the most realistic conference to join.
With Bordeaux, there is no offseason!
this season had WAY too many heart attacks, but the Natty is nice
Spoilers:
LET'S GO! GRU ARE YOUR COLLEGE FOOTBALL CHAMPIONS! THANK YOU PAT SMITH FOR THE GREAT YEARS!
Winning a championship in all the power 5 conferences would be crazy
This is literally the rise of GRU
I need a GRU hoodie!
James when the pass doesn't work- "This is why we need to stick to the run game"
James when the run doesn't work- "This is why we need to stick to the pass game"
For real this series is so good. Big 10 is a move but what about big12? And I feel like to simulate realism better, you could take more kneels
Bro is the definition of carrying YT.
These are the only long videos left lol
When he starts the playoffs with 30 minutes left you know he has a chance!
I am so proud of Jeff Shelby. He went from a disaster last season to a reliable big play guy this year. He’s made incredible strides.
Bordeaux always makes my Friday night!
Add a 2nd deck to the stadium it would be lit🔥🔥🔥
Bordeaux I love watching this series it is so perfectly awesome and can never get sick of it! You are an inspiration but could you please consider the Big 12 has a bunch of new talent in it now and I’m a Kansas state fan so it would be awesome to see you compete against my wildcats. I know I’m not the only person you will look for and I get if the majority says sec or big 10 but it would be awesome for big 12
Would love to see the all American and conference love the videos
It’s gotta be the big 10 because you’re in Michigan and because Michigan and MSU are rivals. But you should join the big 10 west ( same as Iowa, Wisconsin and such) It even seems like PSU will be a rival soon. You could even carry on the battle for that road, I forgot the name of it but it’s between between the three smaller Michigan schools. But Instead you could use MSU, Michigan and Ohio. The only other conference that could make sense is maybe the Big 12. ACC, SEC, and the pac 12 don’t make much sense geography wise. if you choose to go Into a power five conference that is. If not I’d say the American conference is the only other conference you could join. Maybe the MNW but that’s basically the MAC in NCAA. Just a little better.
For punt/ kick returns I have an idea, on kick offs: If the ball is going into the endzone, fair catch and start the drive at the 20 yard line, if the ball is short of the endzone, return the football. On punts: If the ball is going behind the 20 yard line, return the football. If the ball is beyond the 20 yard line, fair catch the football. You will still get returns, but limit its potential and try to keep it realistic.
Getting violently stoned and throwing this show on in bed with a fresh Zyn in is thing that has gotten me through work the past past week and a half
My favorite day of the week is when Bordeaux posts
love tuesdays and fridays!!!
can we all agree on him not changing any sliders and realize zach wilson is just a DAWG you needed him and there you go 😂😂
Damn. When Zach Wilson isnt sleeping with moms, he is a beast returner
😂😂😂
Bordeaux: Can't have a winning record for multiple seasons
Also Bordeaux: Finally gets a really solid team and changes the sliders 🤦🏿♂️
This guy is really unbelievable sometimes Lmao
I will do a sit up per like this comment gets
You have until 12pm central time
time to get ripped son
@@ShortNinjaafr
I will upload on my channel

Be ready to get ripped buddy
Another banger from the goat🔥🔥🔥
Gotta go to the Big 10. That’s where old rivalries like Michigan and Michigan State are. Plus Penn State and USC look like great new rivalries
Only real ones remember when this video was titled "Championship or BUST!"
A few years ago, my favorite team Missouri wasn't very good. I lost intrest in CFB for a year or two, but I saw bordeaux's channel, and that got me back into CFB. And Missouri is good now too
And dispite the enterance of Ohklahoma and Texas Mizzou is what? SEC #4?
Alabama is done so its
1. UGA
2/3. Texas
3/2. Ole Miss
4 Mizzou
They aint just good
They are playoff contenders
@@fate8718 I would say Alabama is still above Missouri rn
@@EminenceRL I have Alabama competing with LSU for 5, not just because Saban left but Isaiah Bonds(yk the 4th-31 miracle maker) Caleb Downs amoung other guys leaving
I can see the argument for Alabama>Mizzou I just dont particularly agree with it, though I would put them in the same tier on a tier list
@@fate8718 I can see them being on the same tier as mizzou but I would just put them higher imo just based on how talented the roster still is
@EminenceRL I see the argument but while Bama has a lot of talented guys Mizzou has a lot of proven guys and better gains in the portal
Also tiebreaker comes down to better QB and I like Brady Cook more than Milroe
But I can see it being debatable
Either way the case is Mizzou is good af now which is cool
I’d love to see 20 seasons at least!
Look forward to these videos and try to watch them asap. Like the whole season in a long form video. Keep them coming!
The only thing I don't in the series is the kick and punt returns because it is unrealistic to get good kick returns everytime
Do a video where every college player plays for their own state
Didn't like you taking Wilson off KR, should've kept him there
A suggestion to improve the run defense; since you’re running 3 down lineman, they should be the biggest guys on the field to eat those run blocks and let the linebackers make the tackles. Even though the overall improved on the linebackers switched to de/dt, the builds of the players don’t support the scheme. Like the linebacker you moved at the end of the video has the same weight as Harold Perkins, who we can safely say will never play defensive tackle
Finally been counting down the days 🎉
Hey dude you should try the NCAA mod in Madden 24! It’s really fire try it out
is it on ps5 and if so whats the name ive been looking for a mod for a while
@@edohoparno it is only on pc I have a ps5 to and sad I can’t get it
This is why you recruited Zach Wilson!! Don’t hold it against him!💪🏽
Waited all day for this to drop
The devs never really balanced kickoff returns. They always put backups on special teams so if you just don't do that you automatically have an advantage and the game just breaks when you have a high overall speed guy returning even though thats pretty much what you're supposed to do. Also I find it weird that they don't stop kicking to the high overall speed guy, NCAA does a fairly ok job of changing strategies based on what you're doing but they never stop kicking directly to the guy who already has 2 kickoff return TDs
We want Zach Wilson!!! That feels so weird to say
I will buy one car every like this comment gets
Fr
PLEASE NEVER END THIS 🥹🙏🙏
LOVE IT BORDEAUX I WATCH YOUR VIDEOS AFTER SCHOOL EACH DAY Keep it going
hey your me
I will do 2 pushups for every like this comment gets
People who hate “I will do one push-up for every like this comment gets” comments
👇
This series will go in the history books 🐐 I love you to bro 💙
Why is this the best series on CZcams
New challenge to keep it competitive for next year
Sim all kick returns and punts (even if its a big school and you need a TD)
Punting the ball to the 1 and returning every kick off for a TD makes it less fun
I disagree. Good punts are awesome, and kick/punt return tds are something you can expect if you're a good team playing a small school. Hell, even some great ncaa teams have struggled on special teams to stop touchdowns.
@@johnnyfromdablock NCAA record for Kick return TDs on a career is 7
Pretty unrealistic if he's trying to get 3 a game
Unrealistic for a team to go 99 yards every time they force a punt too
@@hungrypandastudios6213 7 for kick returns, 9 for punt returns. If he was doing it every game sure, but having 1 really good game, can and has happened. And he is not punting it to the 1 every time, that's hyperbole. He also does not show every time he's punted. I'm going to guess he edits out most of the punts that go crappy.
@@johnnyfromdablock Most in career- 7
Wilson in one season- 12 (benched 2 games)
He already won the championship (by punting the ball inside the 5) I know you wanna see an Iron bowl return, but he needs to add challenges or else people will stop caring about the franchise
@@hungrypandastudios6213 and I disagree with you. Up to him to choose how he wants to play, and I take umbridge with you declaring that you know what everyone else does or doesn't like. You don't know anymore than I do what will make people keep or stop watching. I for one get very annoyed when I see people play worse on purpose or mess up on purpose to make the games closer. It's artificial. And yeah, if you had a world class kick returner in the Mac conference, there's no telling how many return td's they could get. The real problem is staying in the Mac too long.
Can’t wait to binge this series in about 2 years
Texas tech making it to the playoffs made me so happy
Bro should’ve made Zach Wilson you’re backup RB, dude is electric
Love tuesdays and Friday’s best days of the week
One thing to maybe make it more challenging and add a twist could be maybe Andrew luck or some of your coordinators getting poached by another big 10 school. Maybe Michigan? Make it a real proper rivalry.
Maybe for the Zach Wilson nerf you can only be allowed one KR and PR per half? Idk. Against the bigger schools it definitely isn’t as easy but it still felt a little too easy to get really good field position.
Loving this series. I eagerly await it every Friday! Loving the style, the commentary, all of it. You’re doing great.
Thanks you for this series
Everyone forgetting about the one man better than Zach Wilson. Forrest Gump. Played for ‘Bama then went to fight in the war and came back had a child and his wife died. A true American hero and legend.
Bord: rushing a fourth down play instead of waiting for the read against Bowling Green
Me: Welcome to Dumb Decisions
5:59 I hope you place this team for a long time. Go Grand Rapids ! MASTODON'S
an easy fix for the zach wilson return is to just sim the kick returns
This one did not disappoint and damn sure made my Friday night better
“ it obviously helps Michigan because they stole signs and won a national championship “ 💀
Bord always coming in clutch love all the videos and this series 🐐🔥
Nice to see a competent Zach Wilson play football.
That final depth chart of the season looks like the 2001 Miami Hurricanes roster. GRU is going to be a problem for years.
Naa the kickoff returns are just too OP in this game
Bro this series is carrying Friday nights after school
Mannn... Toledo is just built different. Every season Toledo gives you hell.
anybody else waiting all week for this series?
Ever since episode one I wait till the end of the week with such excitement to watch this series
Never forget Braden Nico. Absolute legend
You should rebuild University of Puerto Rico because most don’t even know what football is.
Put GRU in the Big 10 so they can have matchups with Michigan and Michigan State. You can boot Rutgers to the MAC or somewhere else to make up for it.
Zach Wilson is going to be even more insane next season. Max speed already and he got upgrades in acceleration and multiple other stats. Probably the best player on your team and will be next season.
POV Grand Rapids is down by a touchdown and needs a miracle.
Zach Wilson: Hold my beer
So ready for this video!!
best series on youtube not even close
Zach Wilson living up to his name as the Goat😤
before i watch i think they're winning at least 1 playoff game
