I Created a School That Could Win the MAC | Ep 5 

Only 3 things in life are certain…death, taxes, and Bordeaux saying “I need to remember to put a QB spy out there” every episode🤣

Only downside about pt5 is I have to wait a week for pt6 😢

Can you do a quick intro to the starters or depth chart at the start of a season, im hooked on this series

WHEN IS A NEW STADIUM COMING??

Your decision making in the Western Kentucky game took years off of my life

24:04 “he got all the way back to that ball even though he’s kinda chunky” *peak commentary*

Bro I just want you to know, I'm in med school rn and even tho your QB play be having me yelling at the screen, these GRU vids after a long Friday/week are the only thing getting me thru this😭😭 Yea

Great episode, here’s my takeaways -Sliders look good -Perkins is a BEAST but please throw the ball more -I feel bad for Johnson but it looks like Smith should start -I don’t think you should be able to recruit 5 stars until you move up to the big 10, wouldn’t want it to get too unrealistic -It would be great if you could show the depth chart at the beginning of each episode as well Great episode man keep it up

that overtime screen on the 2pt conversion at 1:02:03 against buffalo might have been worse then the alabama overtime call against Michigan

Other than you having some issues with vision missing open guys this season was a LOT better, the int slider made all the difference. That said, Damarcus Perkins is a BEAST, such a shame that he's a JUCO. Ryan Pace also looks a lot quicker this year.

Big takeaway from this episode: Conception is not a corner. He hits hard and is fast. but can’t coverage. I think he would be a great safety

Bordeaux prouning Mehki as "Meeki" is killing me 😂😂😂

I think for the recruiting restrictions you should still be able to recruit whoever you want but only from the Midwest. I think with no restrictions the recruiting could go crazy and make the rebuild too unrealistic. Bedsides that, I Love this rebuild it’s so fun to watch!

The problem with boardeaux's playstyle is he expects slow runners who take time to warm up be able to run the outside with their speed but they can't. He needs to run more iso formations for runs cause they work better and could gain more yards.

Actually one of the best NCAA dynasty’s I’ve watched

This series is Fr carrying the winter

Bordeaux always makes a friday better, esspecially with this amazing seris

Man you have got to give Johnson his shot at QB. I’m excited to see how recruiting goes now that you have the ability to go after players all over the country.

“Nobody makes a tackle” Misses with 3 different players while trying to hit stick

“He never goes down with the first tackle” proceeds to go down on the first tackle 4 times in a row😭. You gotta stop jinxing yourself.

Instead of no restrictions, opening up to the Midwest and 4 stars would make a lot of sense, so the progression isn’t unrealistic. Let’s be honest, you’re too good of a recruiter in this game & when you can recruit anyone you get a title SO quickly.

Really enjoying your series, keep up the great work! Two small suggestions: 1) A run down of your depth chart at the start of the year would be helpful to follow along. 2) I personally find the off-season interesting, so going through every position group to see progressions would be interesting. Keep up the great work, we are loving it!

you should show us your all time records against certain schools like central michigain. I would also like to see whos won the michigain mac rivalry in the past.

Man the simming extra points kills me every time 😂 super tuned into this series! GRU has came a long way.

At the end of the series someone has to make a top ten quotes from the series because of how good and funny a commentator Bordeaux is 😂

The Western Kentucky game had me ready to personally transfer the reads were crazy

That holding call is going to be talked about for years to come in Grand Rapids lmao

"I need to pass a bunch in this game." Proceeds to run 80% of the time

You should play 2 seasons In 1 episode, and please up the tackling slider because it’s kinda annoying seeing 5 guys miss the tackle

im not saying this to suck up to Bordeaux at all but he is probably the best RU-vidr to his audience. he listens completely to what people want and is extremely willing to change what he is doing to entertain his audience.

Super weird how invested i am in an imaginary, video game football team. Grew up in the Grand Rapids area so that adds to to it! Lol great stuff man!

thank you for putting the pick sliders up it’s more realistic now, great series, best yet!

spoilers below: Thank you Ryan Pace for the many great years, and for sticking through the ups and downs. This was the best season yet, and finally winning a bowl game is going to help this football program so much. Even though we had some rough games this year, especially those 3 straight losses, we managed to push through and win it. Looking forward to the next one.

😂 56:58 “There he is” *wilson comes out slower than a turtle

Just came back from the Huskies send off on the UW campus and now a Bordeaux video. Perfect day!

Going for 2 at home in the first overtime against Buffalo was wildddd lol. Just when it seems like you’ve learned your lesson 😂. I digress, go Big GRU

I feel like you could have a second city rivalry to rival The Game as you get better. Something like Cincinnati (though smaller than Cleveland by city proper population, they ofc actually have an FBS program)

another week another good video

With 3 losses decided by one score and the new recruiting i honestly believe Grand Rapids will win the mac and be ranked next year

56:57 had me rolling when he wanted to see Rian Wilson’s speed and he came out looking like a turtle.

only real bordeaux fans can like this comment 👇

Really enjoying this series! Jenkins, the Central Michigan RB must be getting a +10 every off-season. The past two years he’s just gotten better and better. I hope you can still win the Mac conference in this video.

It’s always a better day when Bordeaux posts

As an Iowa Hawkeye Fan, this is like watching Iowa Hawkeyes play.

Can you start doing multiple videos a week because they have been making my weeks 100 times better

I love longer videos like this

Still waiting on you to get a GRU Jersey we need it for the series 🙏🏾

Luis Miller should get some fullback dives in short yardage situations next season

It’s crazy that we’ve been able to watch these players grow as student athletes. To see the whole team begin to click and play like a real contender in CFB. It feels like I’m watching a real college football team 😂. The story you bring in every video helps immerse myself into this universe you’ve created. Love these videos.

This is soooo entertaining! I wish you could enter high school teams and rebuild them as if they were a college. If it’s possible I’d love to see it just like this with long episodes

Can you please rebuild Mississippi state or FSU

Congrats on the bowl win! Defense stepped up big this year and what a running back duo!

San Diego State has a pretty new stadium and a new coach. It would be awesome if you did an SDSU rebuild at some point🔴⚫️🔥

Two patterns I've noticed since getting hooked on Bordeaux's videos. 1) Going for two to win it when you most definitely shouldn't 2) Mentioning you're a UK fan (UoL grad here) lol Good stuff brother I appreciate the series. This has me anxiously waiting for the new NCAA to drop this summer.

After watching 10 minutes of this, Dante Moss is a beast

This was supposed to be the hardest rebuild for you, don't change the sliders to make it easier 🤣

Coming into season 5 Grand Rapids is 15-23 as a program

87 speed be damned, my boy (Dante Moss) can play some damn good WR!

Man I love this series I be waiting for it to drop Could you add in when you pick their uniform combos weekly because GRU has some drip

I absolutely love this series because it's just so fun to watch

*NEW RULE IDEA* If you win the Michigan Mac Title you get to recruit one player from the state of Michigan at any Caliber

Only 3 things in life are certain…death, taxes, and Bordeaux saying “I need to Romberg to put a QB spy out there” every episode 🤣

If you have a pretty big lead on a team, we definitely want to see the good plays, and if your just running the clock out we still want to see it because your a great commentator

Normally I just chill in bed while watching these but when he disrespected the goat #22 Ben Fowler at 38:10 I perked up

You should add player lore, guys such as Dante Moss who have the same last name as former nfl players. You could say Dante Moss is like Santana Moss’ nephew or Randy Moss Nephew, I think that would help pretty cool and help bring more fun to the series

You should make us GRU jerseys of program heroes

It’s so infuriating watching Bordeaux on offense.

After this can you do a rebuild of Arizona state university?

I don’t know what it is but I will literally watch these entire videos before bed lol

have you thought about creating challenges before each season for this series? if you fail to complete one, give away a custom GRU jersey🤣

I’m enjoying this series so much!

Every season Bordeaux Dan Lanning’s himself with late-game playcalling. Lol

Best series on RU-vid ❤

Love this series please continue for a long time

So glad you fixed the int sliders it’s so much more realistic and fun to watch. I also think you should start the freshman QB next season

Two weeks late but here goes: You made the defending national champions miss a bowl game in their next season. Idk if that’s ever happened in real life, but thank you for making it happen to TTUN (I’m an osu fan so it’s extra sweet) Also, what is happening in your save where UCLA, Colorado, South Carolina, NC State, Arkansas, Air Force, and Boston College are all playoff teams?? 5 years from now the only team I’d realistically predict making a playoffs out of that group is either Colorado or UCLA, but more notably so many recently top tier teams just aren’t there. Obviously you don’t control that, but it’s wild

That michigan game was amazing! I was screaming the whole game. Johnson gotta be the starter.

Favorite RU-vid series

Bro got me yelling at my phone screen lmao but I love this series ❤😂

This series can’t get any better

I almost always start the freshman in those situations. I look at it as you're building him to that senior year.

bordeaux just makes great content.

Congrats on a great season. I think we’ve figured out now what has helped the team to success and should be implemented next year: On offense: -Use Moss on deep routes to test teams early and often - on passing plays, drop back at least 10 yards from the line to give more time for receivers to get open - Use the play action pass to set up the successful HB draw plays Defense: -Run commit to force teams to pass -User linebackers and send them in to get more pressure regardless of their assignment - Lots of man coverage and trust your CBs to win 1 on 1 battles Special teams: -Simulate every extra point so that you can finish the season 5 minutes faster (a huge time saver)! Commentary: Keep pronouncing Concepcion’s name as “Conception” so that he gets a chip on his shoulder and eventually makes a name for himself as cone-SEP-see-own. Ok but for real I love this series, and I live for the chaos. Perfection is boring.

Recommendation: I feel like Demarcus Perkins is a REALLY good HB for GRU. Maybe you could try getting more O-linemen because your HB will definitely hit the holes, which will open up the middle of the field for PA passes because the opposing team will start to run commit. Go GRU and great vids :) edit: Maybe get a faster QB who's over 90 speed so you can mix in read option and MAYBE even the triple option

You should make a Grand Rapids playlist

Drew Flynn: underrated… bro does not miss tackles

Give Johnson a chance. If he sucks we roll with the freshman.

definitely agree with the people who said recruiting only from the Midwest and no 5 stars. Maybe national recruiting unlocks when you make the playoff or get into the T25 rankings?

Like someone else said I think it would be cool if you did an intro to the teams depth chart at the start

I literally watched this in one sitting man you’re goated

Adding an idea on additional recruiting restrictions. Keep it regional to the Midwest for the program guys(3 and 4 star recruits) and then only be able to target maybe three or four 5 star recruits but from any state🤷🏼‍♂️ would keep it a little more challenging and make for some great career storylines

I was so glad to see this video posted 🎉

That MSU game had me biting my nails.

this series is straight gas bro, keep it up

that TD to arrington against bowling green was actually nice gang

You made it THREE FULL GAMES without a "are you kidding me"... that alone speaks volume about the progress of this team.

Ben Fowler is the GOAT running back saying he did so much with so little 😂. I love these videos, and you have me actively rooting against my favorite team (Spartans) when you play them

Im loving this series

Please keep this series up!!!

Haircut was looking crispy at the beginning of this episode
