Get the heck outta here. In response to a lot of comments, I have to say that most of them are the biggest bunch of bullcrap I have ever heard in my life. Who says that most starters and true ballers dont cry about starting. I have seen so called superstar players on various teams cry just because they dont stay in the game 100% of the time. They get pulled for a play or two and cry like punks. I'll bet any amount of money that if most of the starters on the top 5 teams in Michigan were bench due to favoritism, beef with coach, or (a good reason like...) not paying their players fee, they would be prostitutes of semi-pro. They jump jump ship so fast. Yall aint gonna admit that though huh. Instead yall like to get rid of the coach if yall aint seeing the field. Get real. This is why no one but semipro players take semipro seriously. Bottom line is that if you aint geting paid and you aint playing (but paying your money to play) your the fool. Keep listening to the starters that would do they same thing in your shoes. I aint talking about the people who really are garbage either. The best way to show those players that they are garbage is to give them a play or two in the game and watch them get blown up. And what about teams that blow other teams out, yet their starters are still in the game screaming, "Let me throw 9028 more TD's, let me catch 9742 more passes, let me run for 974 more yards". If thats putting selfness aside, then what the heck would being selfish get you? ? Oh yeah in response to this.....Maybe your payoff is telling your kids you had 57 solos, 3 INT's and 4 fumble recoveries against the MIGHTY MINNESOTA MIDGETS of the POWDER PUFF MISTY SOFTY FOOTBALL LEAGUE. I'd rather have those stats that show I dogged a garbage team than to gloat saying that I won a ring after beating them. Getting credit for that is like the Dolphins getting credit for winning a game this year. YOU AINT GETTING PROPS, THATS WHAT YOUR SUPPOSE TO DO!! I personally aint trying to be the John Salley of semipro football and ride benches to get rings with whoever is good at the time. translation: I'm so deep on the bench they call me the Lumberjack for all the splinters Ive gotten sittin on the pine. You missed the entire point you dumb idiot. Nobody wants to play on a scrub team even if they shining getting stats. It's bums like you who probably never played a day of football in high school, college or even jv yet feel just because you pay your dues and come to practice more then a starter somebody owes you something. If given the opportunity you would have paid to be on the team in H.S. school but they have cuts. You get the heck out of here. just because you pay money dont mean a darn thing. If you have no talent nobody is obligated to start you or give you clock solely because you pay some fees or come to practice. If you want guaranteed clock go participate in a flag league. The one thing you are correct is if you paying money and really not a good football player then you are wasting your time. Nobody owes you anything. You talking like you the man or something. Ni99a you play semipro, SEMIPRO!! What do you get outta beating yo chest for starting in SEMIPRO, ROTFL!!!!! You garbage, ya boys garbage, and everyone else who cant get into college and play ball is garbage. If you aint playing for an education or money, YOU WASTING YO TIME DUMMY

Semipro=A Real Good Time And anything else, is just in your plain fool head ! Fun...Yes Family watching...Not if they have lives and dont wanna waste time watching neighborhood bums go at it. Love the game....Become a high school, college, or pro coach. Oops two of those jobs require a degree which most players in semipro dont have so I guess this is as close as you'll get. Good Competition.....Now I'm laughing silly! Sunday morning aches and pains.......Why the heck would I want that?I have played and dont have that too often. If you have it, then your a bum that got pushed around or your outta shape. Its probably both. One more season.....One among the many that you wasted. A real good time.....that goes back to fun, right? hmm ok. I keep forgetting that arguing with you bums is like telling Harry Potter fans that he aint real and that they are lames for following a cult. In the end, they all stick together to defend a pointless pass-time. Birds of a feather flock together. I guess that why this board is filled with dummies.

Hey Be Real, you talking a little bit too reckless! I am beginning to get offended. There are some top quality athletes at this level homeboy. And I happen to be one of them. Just because a person didn't play in college, that does not mean that they do not have the skill to compete at that level. There are a number of extenuating circumstances they may have prevented someone from going to college. And i think you can name a few, so i won't waste may time listing any. But Be Real, you obviously ain't that "real" because you won't drop a name. You have just sat up here and called the hundreds of people who visit this board dummies! Not a good move. Yea you better stay unknown partner. You ain't that tough!

Family watching...Not if they have lives and dont wanna waste time watching neighborhood bums go at it. I don't know about you, but I enjoy watching my family members play a sport. I enjoy/enjoyed watching my kids and neices and nephews, and I very much enjoyed having them come watch me play when I did, be it football, softball, or whatever. If your family doesn't want to come out to watch you...well, I guess that's between you and them. (Maybe the apple didn't fall very far from the tree, you dig?) Hold on, now. That's like saying "If you love cars, become an executive at GM." Doesn't follow at all. There's much more involved in becoming a coach than you seem to think--many people with degrees (even MA's) don't make it. That doesn't make someone "lame" just because they want to play. It's not wasted if you're doing something you want and like. What else would they be doing with all that "wasted" time? What would you do with that time? Play Madden NFL? What you keep forgetting is that not everybody shares your opinion of what is "lame" or a "pointless pass-time". But your arrogance probably doesn't allow you to admit that there are other choices than yours. The real "dummies" are people like you who love to shoot at someone else's balloon just because it isn't floating in the same direction as yours.

I think also it depends on how good your backups are. I played the Lima team twice last year and watched them once and there offense cord. runs at least 5 or 6 backs at you.Also if i remember he has at least 5 or 6 different receivers rotating. It was hard to adjust to what game plan they was running when they did everything and didnt care who was in. As a Linebacker that is frustrating.To me thats getting the use out of your players and having confidence in your players. Dont care for the Warriors much but there coaching is top notch.

You garbage, ya boys garbage, and everyone else who cant get into college and play ball is garbage. If you aint playing for an education or money, YOU WASTING YO TIME DUMMY Well how about this one EINSTEIN....the majority of the guys I played with in semi-pro PLAYED D1 COLLEGE FOOTBALL - AND STARTED. Some guys played in BIG TEN, MAC, D2, etc....and YES. some were even THE MAN. IDIOT...sometimes your sports dream just doesn't work out and for whatever reasons or rationale you want to continue playing football they don't need some BITTER BAND GEEK with a George Michael WHAM shirt on telling us how stupid it is. A.Z.Z.hole - since you being a d.a.m.n. coward, the least you can do is tell us your greatest sports accomplishment since you take so much pleasure in demeaning ours? Let's hear it GORDON? No, I'm not talking about your 40 time in how fast you and your dorky buddies sprinted to COMIC KINGDOM to by the collector item issue WIZARDS & ELFS. I'm asking what REAL collegiate sports accomplishments that make you so ABOVE semi-pro. Look here you fuccin clown. Be careful of evaluating and judging semi-pro on only the s.h.i.t your feeble mind see and hear. You so out of the loop on this sport it's ridiculous. Son, let me enlighten YO DUMB A.S.S!! I know guys that played for MAJOR D1 colleges and NFL clubs that played semi-pro with me and trust me they wasn't laughing or making a joke out of it. Maybe you can demean and laugh at some of the teams and players not serious about this level of football....but I've seen up close and personal guys that played in the NFL come out here and find out just how surprising some levels of semi-pro really is. Case and point: Steve Hawkins.....Western Michigan...the top DB in MAC.....one of the top D1 safeties (the number 5 ranked overall safety in NCAA) to come out during his stint in the NFL. Drafted by New England Patriots in 5th or 6th round...had some awesome ESPN highlights during preseason - making a great splash in Patriots training camp. A lingering camp injury limited his development and progress. As a result, he was delegated to practice squad for the season and later following season, unfortunately - released. After rehab Hawkins played a season with Carolina Panthers before being cut. Steve didn't want to play ARENA or move family to CFL and basically the following year just ended his football career. He came out to just chill with some old collegiate TEAMMATES with the Detroit Seminoles and after looking at the talent a few games, was like....OH OKAY......it's a few guys out here BALLIN. Steve was convinced to come out and PLAY in this very big rival game - Detroit Seminoles vs. DR Raiders @ Allen Park. He came out here for ONE GAME. I remember it crystal CLEAR. The game was basically see-saw with the Noles pounding the rock with - "OH did I mention" - Johnny Olgesby - All-American, TCU & and former starting FULLBACK DETROIT LIONS and was trying to survive an all out assault by a young Roy Granger (who I personally witness a week earlier on tape scorching Aaron Glenn - starting NFL DB New York Jets to the tune of 4 TD's during a college game). Anyway, to make a long story short. Hawkins lined up DB and WR and was noticeably being ABUSED on the field by his semi-pro counterparts. On one play DAVID JOHNSON - CMU DB, almost pressed Hawkins into the stands in man-to-man coverage. I guess what I'm saying JACKOFF is be careful about demeaning semi-pro because their are guys out here that HAVE gone to school and been exceptional at FOOTBALL be for whatever reason - personal issues, injury, financial hardship - the opportunity for higher levels of football didn't materialize or was taken away. EVERYBODY OUT HERE IS NOT A SCRUB.

I would like to start by saying everyone on this message board possibly has had to be a role player or a bench rider or whatever for whatever reason ( not good enough, favoritism, wrong team, etc.). Everyone playing this game is not trying to get into the NFL, CFL, AFL or any other kind of pro league. It's guys out here that really play for the love of the game. Some people say why? Why ask a bunch of guys who have been playing a game since the age of 8 a question like that. How many guys play basketball in the various rec leagues that are out here (30 and over-40 and over-50 and over) and all thats being said is man they love the game of B ball. Hockey, baseball, softball or any other ball that we can think of, SAME THING. It's OK for other athletes to play their sport for fun, but for a football player to want to play for fun it's dumb ( I don't think so). To everyone on this message board, if you play this game for 60 minutes and you don't have any soreness and pain, you really didn't play the game the right way! RECKLESS ABANDONMENT!

Iknow what you mean.I thought there big back #6 was gonna be slow but he is powerful and fast. They do rotate very well. I think i seen #6,#27,#2,#16,#20 when i faced them.They even brought #30 there staring outside LB into run and ripped of a 25 yard run on us. This goes to show you can play more than 2 backs and win.That is if you have the depth.
