Bro I rock with you but it's hard watching u play 😂 u pass up a lot of open receivers and u wasted your TE Browns career he was a top rated TE and u only prioritize Wilson your QBs and Hartman who I like but the game against Louisville u only completed passes to 2 wrs your sabotaged brown's draft status it's criminal for him to end the regular season with just 22 catches and 347 yards he and Wilson should've been 1a and 1b pls spread the ball around more Wilson has over 1200 yards and the next wr has 300 ...your next 4 wr yards dont even add up to wilson again love the series but would love to see more prospects get in the action its either wilson/ davis or bust hartman gets a little love but its really just them 2

Not sure if it’ll help the difficulty and keep it fresh but maybe Andrew Luck retires from coaching and you start over with a level 1 HC, OC, and DC. Maybe a Grand Rapids Alum who didn’t quite make it in the NFL returns to coach his Alma Mater.

[@JB-tl8rj]

Zach Keyes coming into be the head coach would be a pretty awesome full circle momment

[@WinWin-cv5us]

Or maybe he can play into the hulu money and have players start tranfering alot more due to hulu pulling back on NIL money?

[@Meneszoe]

I’m he takes an nfl job

[@jaxontande2442]

Yeah I feel like the series has gotten to easy with how low GRU overall is. Maybe Ryan Pace would be good.

[@coriehenry3592]

Coaches run programs tho he should just get worse coordinators and lose them to rival or competing schools

[@Dewledoux]

Possible ideas for the future of the GRU series. 1) GRU is crippled by sanctions and given the old SMU death penalty for recruiting violations. Andrew Luck is fired & replaced by Grand Rapids own - Ben Fowler to rebuild from scratch and have a tarnished brand to overcome. 2) Continue the seasons to allow the likely possibility of additional championships, but now you are only allowed to hop in the first or fourth quarter of each game. You can only run the ball twice each 4 down series. You must punt or kick a FG on every 4th down regardless of the manageability of the pending 1st down. You must play all backups whenever you have a 3 score lead. 3) Retire the series and start a new school rebuild series in the Mountain West or Sunbelt, but maintain the similar GRU rules.

[@whodeyalldey]

You have to keep this series going... At least long enough for Andrew Luck to have the most Championships of all time. Then, he can retire into the sunset as Nick Saban cries himself to sleep in the fetal position. Shout out to Perkins and Land for kick-starting the soon to be dynasty.

[@LincolnBarfuss25]

That’s true😂

[@thund3r94]

And once he ends the series he makes another one but with a team in Ohio that is a rival with GRU

​@@K9Cop2314I'm glad you guys said it 😂 but that thought hit me as well, if he was actually good these wouldn't be very interesting lol. He only has success when he can just sprint to the edges, and on defense he misses so many tackles and I don't mean when the cpu breaks tackles, he'll just sprint right past the ball carrier.

[@soloisrollin777]

Bordeaux I think it would really help your run defense if you put bigger guys on the line. Having guys under 300 at de/dt makes them easy for the offensive line to bowl over on run plays, creating the big runs that better teams tend to have. Great video as always.

[@Luhkd.]

This actually sounds good

[@evanallan1544]

I feel like you should do something similar once the new NCAA football game comes out (later this year I think). That would be super entertaining

[@mawanotabot4653]

Just as a fun idea, I think you should start a Grand Rapids basketball team.

I think to increase difficulty, you could make a set number of goals and if you don’t complete them, you get recruiting restrictions👍🏽

[@jettwright7174]

Bordeaux is lowkey carrying youtube

[@kyleharris4699]

Ben Fowler is the GOAT of Grand Rapids. He helped put them on the map. Fast forward 10 years. GRU is hit with the death penalty for recruiting violations. Andrew Luck is out... Ben Fowler is in! Rebuild the Rebuild once you've dominated the B10!

[@phoenixlawson8414]

I feel in the future years (whether the team is good or not) there should be some scandals, penalty’s, etc like real life imposed to add extra layers to the school. Like NIL money to Ben Fowler ended up causing the team to lose 5 scholarship players Andrew Luck finding a new job, thus finding another coach and resetting the skill tree. I say this as someone who NEVER wants this series to end. I’m talking I’d wear Grand Rapids merch!!! 🎉🎉🎉

[@chriswilson8027]

switch the series up to focus more on recruiting now that you have a competitive team. focus on individuals in recruits and then sim the games, taking peaks of the game thru spectator cam in certain situations. focusing on certain players now you can see how well your recruiting is to keep the school afloat.

[@miketokles9451]

Loved this whole series, watched it for 2 days straight.

[@Swisscheesebrain]

I'd say lower the interceptions slider back down a bit to increase the difficulty. Also, and probably more so is to turn off the coaching thing that lets you see their play. Even if it's 10% of the time it OP to start them off with a huge loss of yards when you all out run blitz when you know it's coming.

[@GRU_Alum]

Can’t believe Davis blew out his knee in the offseason! At least he got that medical redshirt.

[@Fatal1Inch]

Whenever you are tired of this series, I feel like another city that could use the Bordeaux touch is Billings, Montana. With over 115k in the city and with no fbs schools, it would be really interesting. Maybe some early rivalries with Montana and Montana St.?

[@Thatrandomkidgames]

Or NYC

[@tigersfan8459]

You should do a mini-series where you take one of the drafted GRU players and play out their career in Madden, it could be pretty enteraining!
