^don't worry man, you're like me.....lots of young talent.

They gave NC State alot of good freshman in this years game. I mean....your LB's and S's are gonna be STACKED VERY soon. Not to mention you have Glennon for 4 years.

7/19/2008 12:58:26 PM

yeh, thats why I decided to redshirt him. I figured he would develop some over this year and would be awesome to have.

It is funny though, because I hate losing, but in a league like this, and in most dynasties, I think going out and winning every game by 40 something is far more boring than not knowing what might happen game to game.

I am just glad to get in a league where the people play reasonably as opposed to the stupid stuff you see online a lot.

7/19/2008 1:05:38 PM

OK we have 11 people ready to advance already, pretty cool

7/19/2008 1:06:47 PM

yea i'm away from my xbox til a little bit later today, then i'll play my game and advance

7/19/2008 1:10:15 PM

awesome...I am ready to play an FCS team after the SC game...so hurry up tracer

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 1:14 PM. Reason : face]

7/19/2008 1:14:21 PM

haha...i was sittin on xbox.com last night lookin at everybody's scores and i thought about drivin home just to play my game. woulda been a massive waste of gas, but i felt left out

7/19/2008 1:15:39 PM

I guess like we said before

I was probably wrong for scoring so many points in my FCS game

but since everyone gets one I don't think it will be too much of a problem long term

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 1:17 PM. Reason : those teams suck sooooooooooooo bad though...most are like 35 overall rated]

7/19/2008 1:16:57 PM

haha...yeh it sucks to be away from the game when everyone else is playing. I am going to be away next Thursday night, so hopefully I won't be holding up too many people.

If we can keep up a similar pace to this, we might be able to make the first season fairly quickly, slowing down with the second and following seasons. Would be nice to keep interest beyond just a couple seasons, but who knows.


Yeh, we should probably remove all FCS teams in future seasons. Plus I trust that HaLo will be reasonable knowing that he has two of them. He is a pretty straight forward playing person, at least in my experience. Not too worried about it for this year.

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 1:20 PM. Reason : ...]

7/19/2008 1:18:55 PM

fuck it. I'm going for 200 in week 2. After the heart breaking loss to USC, look for the the Cavs to be on the warpath.

Looks like Week 2 will feature the first conference action of the season and hopefully the ACC whipping up on inferior opponents.

Georgia Tech[1-0, 0-0](Apocalypse-hey now 79) at Boston College[0-1, 0-0](TreeTwista10-Akwatic)

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 1:24 PM. Reason : ]

7/19/2008 1:24:09 PM

Since the precedent has already been set at 147 points

Lets try not to go any higher than that

and please spread out your touchdowns...don't let any one player get 8 or something

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 1:31 PM. Reason : so we can keep at least somewhat of a statistical relevance by season's end]

7/19/2008 1:28:16 PM

I fucked up and didnt save my game vs IAA South East. I won 63-14. Slave knows I'm not lying. Do you guys mind if I just sim this one instead of playing it over. (for the 3rd time)

7/19/2008 1:38:32 PM

It already saved in the online dynasty...it autosaves when you finish

Pretty sure its still in there

7/19/2008 1:44:35 PM

It says I have to play them.

7/19/2008 1:45:00 PM

delete the one you have saved on your hard drive and re download it from the server.

Mine said I was 0-2 last night and when I did that it showed me as 0-1...I think the ones we keep on our hard drives screw up a bit...

7/19/2008 1:46:39 PM

Wierd becuase on my thing it says you already won 63-14 and are ready to advance

Just leave it alone for now...when Tracer finishes all teams should be ready and I will advance

If yours doesn't register for some reason, it will auto sim anyway

7/19/2008 1:46:58 PM

yeh it shows 63-14 on mine too..and that you started it 2 times...have a hard time with the FCS team the first time?

jk...you should be fine...

don't forget your recruiting though...

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 1:50 PM. Reason : ...]

7/19/2008 1:49:39 PM

I posted earlier my 1st game crashed when I was up huge in the first half. Sorry for the confusion, I'm very much a noob at this.

7/19/2008 1:52:45 PM

yea dude, don't forget to do your recruiting

7/19/2008 1:54:54 PM

Ok now its says I've played the game. WTF, whatever.

Yeh I know, I just wanted to give you a tough time about the FCS school

and yeh don't forget the recruiting, I see you are on now, probably doing it.

7/19/2008 1:58:26 PM

I'm recruiting now. The quick calling/calling stuff is confusing the hell out of me. Can I just find the recruits I want and have the CPU call them?

Also, when is Maryland expected to play his game? I would like to play TreeTwista today, but just need a heads up.

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 2:08 PM. Reason : ?]

7/19/2008 2:05:03 PM

^quick call allows the computer to unlock pitches and hard sell them for you. All you do is give the allotted amount of time. I usually do that unless i want to get really specific with a player

7/19/2008 2:08:10 PM

Tracer said he was going to play sometime today

I'll ask him to post in here when he does play so I'll know to advance

I'm going to see Batman, so I'll be gone till 6 or so, but I'll check this thread when I get back

7/19/2008 2:15:23 PM

Haha I just somehow picked up my first verbal commitment. 3 star off tackle Lamar Adams.

7/19/2008 2:15:32 PM

Man I wish this game allowed you to run a dirty program

Would add a whole nother element to recruiting

7/19/2008 2:18:48 PM

Sorry I have another question. (I'm a quick learner) I see where I picked up a recruit commitment, now where do I save so I don't have to recruit this guy again?

7/19/2008 2:20:41 PM

I think when you exit the recruiting pages, etc. it automatically uploads it to the server. I can't say for sure, but others might be able to be more specific.

7/19/2008 2:22:15 PM

Pretty sure everything autosaves

everytime you back out of a tasks that little 'uploading to server' screen pops up

I dont think I've manually saved anything myself

7/19/2008 2:23:31 PM

JUST FUCKING GREAT!

The Atlanta Journal-Constitution
Published on: 06/13/08
Jamaal Evans, listed as a starting running back for Georgia Tech after spring practice, has left the team, coach Paul Johnson confirmed.
Johnson did not say why the 5-foot-8, 193-pound Evans, who would have been a junior this season, left.
"Jamaal Evans is not in school," Johnson said. "This doesn't have anything to do with football."
Evans was the Yellow Jackets' fifth-leading rusher last season, with 217 yards and two touchdowns on 32 carries. The Irving, Texas, native also rushed 41 times for 215 yards and two touchdowns as a freshman.
Although leading rusher Tashard Choice is now with the NFL's Dallas Cowboys, Tech returns its No. 2 and No. 3 rushers in running back Jonathan Dwyer (82 rushes, 436 yards) and quarterback Josh Nesbitt (53 rushes, 339 yards). Rashaun Grant, who was Tech's No. 4 rusher, was a senior and is gone.
The departure of Evans, who last season also returned a team-high 25 kickoffs for 519 yards, leaves former wide receivers Greg Smith, a junior, Andrew Smith, a senior, and Jonathan Malone, a junior, on the depth chart at one "A-back" position. That's a slot back spot in Johnson's offense.
Dwyer is listed as the starter at "B back," which typically lines up behind the quarterback.
At the other A-back spot, redshirt freshman Roddy Jones, former tight end Austin Barrick and redshirt freshman Paul Reese are listed on the depth chart.
Tech's incoming freshman class includes at least two running backs who fit the size and speed parameters usually associated with Johnson's A backs.
Embry Peeples (5-10, 170) of Orlando and Marcus Wright (5-7, 170) of San Antonio were both considered among the faster high school backs in their respective states.
Johnson also said that incoming freshman Jon Lockhart of Blountstown, Fla., who was recruited as a defensive back, also may start summer practice at A-back.

7/19/2008 2:50:28 PM

cool, one less player for you to use to run past my slow ass defenders

Apocalypse I too would like to play our conference game today; once tracer plays we can discuss some tentative time to play

also I played a Campus Legend game with my QB at NCSU versus some 1-AA team...first play I run a running play (where after I hand it off, I cant control anything)...Eugene took it 60 something yards for 6 points...1-aa teams truly do suck

7/19/2008 3:13:25 PM

Slave said he is going to Batman and will be back around 6, so it will be at least this evening before we can play. I'm going out for the night around 8, so we may have to play tomorrow, or late like 1am.

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 3:33 PM. Reason : f]

7/19/2008 3:23:24 PM

damn how did i not get in this

7/19/2008 3:24:12 PM

tracer is up 21-0 in the first qtr.

7/19/2008 3:28:43 PM

its 49-7, 2 minutes left in the 3rd.

i've got in 2nd string offense and defense and only doing running plays...its just amazing how bad the fcs team is

7/19/2008 3:44:35 PM

^yeah, i had my 2nd team o and d in for the entire 2nd half

7/19/2008 3:49:12 PM

Have we advanced the week yet, the collective group wanted to watch a movie instead of watch me play xbox lol. I'm itching to run over willie young.

7/19/2008 3:52:32 PM

ha. you got to run over the fcs defense first.

7/19/2008 3:54:51 PM

its not even showing tracer as playing right now on mine. weird

7/19/2008 3:57:52 PM

anyone else messed around with the ea.com login and linking your gamertag to your login, then going to ncaafootball.com and logging in? i'm messing with it right now; you're supposed to be able to see league stats and stuff on the interweb...pretty slick

gotta wait a week buddy

7/19/2008 4:02:09 PM

tracer needs to do his recruiting

i think everyone has played their games, and everyone has done recruiting except him

7/19/2008 4:09:03 PM

^then we gotta wait for slave to get back from his movie and we'll be set to go to week 2

7/19/2008 4:09:38 PM

yup

7/19/2008 4:11:55 PM

all done and ready to advance

just realized i didnt give any interesting breakdown to my game.

70-10, second string was in midway through the 2nd quarter at 35-7...i had somethin like 5 picks. i actually cant remember how many i threw for. no more than 2 td's i'm sure. there was 1 kickoff return for a td and the rest were rushing tds or int returns. my backup rb had somethin like 170 rushing yards.

[Edited on July 19, 2008 at 4:17 PM. Reason : forgot about the pick 6's]

7/19/2008 4:13:23 PM

sweet

7/19/2008 4:16:17 PM

maybe this isn't the thread for this, but has anyone done a double elimination style tournament for ncaa football? Would it garner any interest around here? I could put one together on or close to campus with prizes but don't know if it's something that would be worth the time.

7/19/2008 5:21:31 PM

7/19/2008 5:47:02 PM

^yeah that last fumble by Yates (QB) was a killer, because it was on a made 4th and inches in my territory.
