Hesitated reading the coverage and then forced it.  Time was running out in regulation, so I didn't feel too bad about throwing that pick. 

After the INT there was about 7 seconds left and the ball was at the 25 or so.  With LB position players being allowed to try and block field goals (LT) It wasn't very likely that i could score there.

Enjoyed the hell out of the championship game video.   And might have even learned something about how to play against Brad when he was the 9ers.   The Giants called a beautiful game on defense until the final drive when they fell in love with being LT. A clear mistake against San Fran. Potentially cost them the title.

This is why we can't have nice things This is why we can't post videos on the internet. 

Dang Candians will scour over the info looking for an advantage...which in turn i have to scour over the video looking for whatever the hell he has found, so I can see to it he has little chance to exploit it.

There is no offseason with these guys.

checking google analytics this morning, i noticed the site got 300+ visists yesterday. A typical day is roughly 10-15 hits.

Saturday at an Omaha Royals game I get to do the outfield countdown for the stadium closing.  Big set of numbers there, and i tear off one of the velcroed numbers as part of the countdown.

so while we're sitting in the bleachers waiting for the inning to end the Royals staff guy notices my tat artwork and inquires.  he gets a quick pic and i give him the address.  somehow it makes its to this guys blog about minor league baseball.

Bumpst/update

Well over 2,000 visitors to the site in less than 6 months.  Not too bad.  Dee-Nee has gotten me solid traffic numbers.   

[Turd]

Awesome, the site means more to me now that I've started getting into the original TB...I really hope we can still get a league goin'.  SuckerPunch here said he wanted in, so if we have one more guy, that'd make 6, perfect for a casual league...

That site is a lot of fun. Good work TBT.

TecmoBowl-vs-RBI forum/message board is now up.

pretty generic and i'll need to figure out how to get rid of the damn giraffe avatar.

re-wrote the opening post on this thread with great authority and vengeance.

in other words, i really rolled out the cheese and cracker tray with that post.

I've Focused a ton on the Tecmo bowl side of my website, but a search of "tecmo bowl eric dickerson" finds my site on page 1 of google.   same with tecmo bowl gameplans or tecmo bowl playbook, etc, etc.

This is pretty encouraging.  Ive noticed in recent months the amount of search hits has risen rapidly.

I do need to get down to business and really rattle off some work on the RBI pages.  Add more player names and such to get that side of the site up the rankings as well.  it took roughly 6 months as predicted, but its finally being recognized. 

The caveat is that the actual search for just Tecmo bowl or RBI baseball turns up nothing thru 40 pages.  Dah-nah.  Eventually it'll surpass a million stupid blog pages or whatever and finally climb that ladder.  longevity and relevance is key.

Put the finishing touches on our Tecmo Cup preseason competition page.  Played 3 weeks.  All set up for the playoffs now, with analysis of 1st round match-ups.

tbt, i didnt see anything about the early throw bop on your site

Until Turd or Nightwulf can verify, I'll make no note of that.

Got a RBI team page half ass done today.  Basic overview of each squad.    The individual pitching and batting pages need a lot more work, but this page is a good primer for any lurkers on the site. 

Noticed since about august when the site started to get firmly entrenched in the search engines that my bounce rate has gone to shit.  Through basic google searches, many more keyword combos are easily being found.  My hits have gone up but its less and less my niche audience, meaning more and more look at the 1st page they find then quickly exit the site.

Side note here...started keeping a spreadsheet for RBI games.  Will chronicle players/teams/scores, game notes, along with winning pitcher, losing pitcher, and saves.   

Also keeping tabs on homeruns and general game notes as well.  Its the power of the digi voice recorder!  Best 40 bucks I ever spent. Of course I later figured out the 9 fkn MP3 players I own also record audio.    

Only played 4 games so far in the spreadsheet era.  Got a 3 man tournament set up for us to begin early next year. RBI is a lot more work in terms of spreadsheet notes than Tecmo is.

I will admit RBI was number 1 for me forever, but with the recent development of Tecmo Bowl and Tecmo Super Bowl move over. Recently I picked up Tecmo Bowl and it's a lot of fun. Its like a chess match. Love it a lot. Tecmo Bowl wins my vote...

Recent?

I think he's referring to our league. www.tecmosuperbowl.net. Not positive, but that's my guess. Or, he could be talking about the 32 team ROM. We really had a reemergence of the game in the recent past.

Season 5 page gets another overhaul.  We came up with a better way to divvy up teams for the upcoming season.  With only 2 of us, there have been some limitation in the past in terms of which teams could play each other during the 12 game season.   

This new set up will lead to more match-ups, and more important division and conference games.  The solution is 4 rover teams. Each rover team plays 6 games vs Nate's teams, and 6 games vs my teams.  We switch out who controls them based on opponent.

New season 5 schedule spreadsheet is posted.  Spent about 4-5 hours creating the most complicated schedule I have ever put together.  The trick was putting together a bunch of random cross-over inter-conference games throughout the season, then getting all the home/road to work out appropriately.
