Getting to know Coach Block M/SMU
Article By: What season of the NDL is this for you?
19th season, S31 will be the big 2-oh for me.
Who is your real life team you follow, and have you been able to use them in the NDL?
I am very vocal about my team on the Discord so this is not a surprise to any but the answer is Michigan. I was able to use them in S23 after a four season dynasty at UCF. I was really worried about coaching report scores though with Dennard Robinson so I treated him as a pocket QB to the point people messaged me telling me to run with Dennard more. I went 10-3 and lost them after one season.
Who are your biggest coaching rivals in the league?
@PettyD is everyone's rival but beyond that I have a developing rivalry with @brohan because I know him personally and he followed me to the ACC. We have had some intense scrims as of late.
What do you like to do outside of NDL?
I like to venture to national parks whether it be in Nevada or Michigan. I also like to do nerd stuff like spreadsheets and coding.
What has been your favorite season and player to use in the NDL?
S26 as CSU probably edges out the rest here. I lost to FIU and @john24 on a last second field goal in my first game of the season. Then rattled off 12 straight wins, won the Mountain West Conference and beat @Shel311 and USC in the Las Vegas Bowl on a last second pass to my favorite player to use, CSU TE Crockett Gilmore who was an absolute monster all year long.
What would you like to see added to the league?
I'm not sure about what needs to be added because so many incredible things were added with the reboot. I am excited to see where the @NDL Media team takes things though. There are YouTubers such as Bordeaux who have dry personalities but still have hundreds of thousands of subscribers and generate real revenue off their EA CFB content. We, as a league, generate so much content and we have lots of personalities in the league so I see a vision where the NDL can also generate revenue to cover costs and such.
