I've tried copying player lines from your progressions post and is giving me a grey background that I can't remove with the site's formatting tools. Is there a workaround for this or will the grey backgrounds be acceptable on the DC?

I'm C&P from your progressions post into my new DC post but I'm still getting a grey background. @Soluna is there a proper work around for this?

This statement actually validates teams' concerns of dictating how their personnel is to be used in the preseason, but I digress. Rules is rules so it appears to be moot. Can we quantify what a "large amount of fitness" and "likely" loss of practices would be ahead of the 3rd week of preseason?

I completely understand the point that simming four weeks of backups v backups or backups v starters adds little value to the game (though I do think it's extremely useful for evaluating depth and potential) and is probably a pain in the ass, in general. But if I may, I'd like to suggest a possible alternative to encourage the type of preseason game play that's being sought out: What if teams who choose to play starters received a slight boost in chemistry/fitness instead of punishing teams who choose to evaluate their depth and rest starters? Perhaps two teams that agree to play starters against one another receive an extra bonus on top (I imagine this would be capped, however). This way young teams and/or coaches who are changing schemes benefit from playing starters while teams with established rosters/schemes don't have to unnecessarily risk veteran player health in a preseason game, but as a result, wouldn't reap any of the chemistry/fitness benefit. I would think this would encourage the type of game play being looked for and may even have an ancillary benefit of added risk/reward strategy for coaches. If this idea is well received I'm happy to post in the appropriate suggestions thread. Just throwing out two cents.

Any chance this could be week 1 instead? Rather have the extra couple weeks to get healthy should any of my starters become injured playing in the preseason.

This did not age well

Pitt and their fans need to stop trying to make this a rivalry, it ain't the 80's anymore. Eat shit, Pitt.

Man, the colors of the chart not matching up with the colors in the poll just made me dyslexic.

The recipe for a good tailgate is the same for having a good party. Alcohol is obvious so we'll skip that, but you must have good food, a variety of games to play and most importantly a solid playlist of music with adequate volume. I cannot overstate the music. The playlist and volume need to be flexible enough so that it can evolve with the crowd and their levels of drunkness. Approximately 10 minutes before it was time to leave for the gates, volume went to max for ultimate pre-game hype (this was mostly reserved for late afternoon/night games as the noon kickoffs meant turning up after the game). It also helps to have some kind of novelty aspect. Our tailgates were known to have no coolers, but instead the bed of a pickup lined with foam insulation, giant tarp and then filled with a literal ton of ice to cool the beverages. Topping this mound of ice would be a live lobster picked up from the local grocery store that morning. He was the dubbed the 'Rock Lobster' and was king and mascot of the beer/ice pile until ultimately being sacrificed to the grill God's a few hours later. Man, sometimes I really miss college.

We'll deserved win Alien, I wish we could've kept it closer but it was clear the better team won. I hope to see you back here next season. Anyway, I'd like to get your take on your outlook for next season. Two part question: what are some of the reasons you think this team could make it back to yet another Superbowl next season? What are some some specific reasons you could see being why this team wouldn't make it back?

GG Alien. On to next season...

me: inspiral's coming to the ACC, YES! also me: inspiral's coming to the ACC, FUCK!
