Animated drive chart flash program destroyed by Saturday's game
Found this link on EDSBS, sorry if already posted. Saturday's game was just too much for this poor program to handle, watch it melt.

the first quarter turnover problem still kills me. imagine the scoring had they HUNG ON TO THE DAMN BALL!

I feel bad for Brian. The UFR is going to be one hell of an undertaking this week.

He can't, "stop once the game is decided"... because it isn't decided until the LAST play. This one... may not get done.

Perhaps we can all agree to grant him a one-day extension to get them done. It'll be tough to wait for, but it's only fair.

This isn't so much an error in logic as it is a bad assumption gone wrong. All they have to do is up it to support 50 drives and everything will be fine.

You don't plan for this type of game. Not only was it the highest scoring game in B10 history, but both teams had a bunch of stops as well. Also, if you up the number of drives it can display it will look weird for the normal games because it won't get close to filling the box and either the box will be too big or the drive lines will be too thin.

Sure you do. You look at the number of drives and you either make the field bigger/smaller based on the number of drives, or you change the thickness of the arrows based on the number of drives. You can't even really read the text anyway, so should just make the field bigger and take my latter suggestion.

easy fix really, and I'm surprised they didn't do this in the first place: pop the oldest drive off the queue.
edit: or better yet, since it's obviously actionscript, make the container scrollable.

Against teams not made out of tiny track stars coated in butter, this will equate to a win. We will not see another team this offensively talented this season
