It was definitely on me for the connection issue obviously...

Man, I thought I threw that game away with the TWO stupid passes over the middle late in the game. Really both of them should have been picked off...

It definitely takes some getting used to playing online... everything is slower.

And wtf was that on my kick? Icing the kicker actually works? I'm glad I kept it in the middle of the field...

7/25/2008 1:25:11 AM

^haha, yea......im a real idiot. I had it on your 30 yd line with 10 seconds to go and got greedy trying to get a few more yds and keep it in the middle of the field and i'll be damned if your MLB didn't slide right in front of my guy. Oh well......fuck it. Good game....Since the terps and clemson won't play till tomorrow, i won't be back till sunday to play my game and recruit. My next two are against the computer, so you guys won't have to worry about my connection for a lil while

7/25/2008 1:27:31 AM

i was just fuckin with yall about guitarguy being able to play faster...it does suck that EA STILL doesnt have their server issues resolved...i want to say GTA4 had initial problems but got their shit fixed within about a week

7/25/2008 1:29:33 AM

It doesn't help that I'm a complete rookie with online play...

That was my first full online sports game ever... I only ever used online before for GTA IV.

I'll write up a full game recap tomorrow sometime...

well fuckna. The Record Breaker-Interceptions achievement is gonna be a bitch. FCS-West threw 23 interceptions(15min quarters) and I had 2 guys with 5 and needed 6. found out that the max score is 255.

i found out the max scores in these games were 255 a few years back when I decided to play as NCSU versus Duke and switch the quarter length from 5 minutes to 15 minutes...I maxed out at 255 in the 3rd quarter

7/25/2008 1:47:07 AM

ha yeah. I would've probably had the interception record if I hadn't been trying to run up the score. oh well. tis the only one left. c'est la vie.

And this whole time, I thought the Tippy Toe! Lemon Tree! one was broken and all you had to do was celebrate going into the endzone and couldn't figure out why the hell I wasn't getting it. google ftw.

ok, what the fuck, i just tried to get into the dynasty and it says "No Dynasties Active"

EA, you are a piece of shit

7/25/2008 1:16:50 PM

^try turning off your 360 and turning it back on...I've gotten "Dynasty Servers unavailable" errors, and then when I rebooted my 360 it worked perfectly

7/25/2008 1:17:59 PM

So is this thing gonna be ready to move forward today or what

7/25/2008 1:19:45 PM

which games are left? UNC/Miami and FSU/Clemson? or has one of them been played?

7/25/2008 1:20:24 PM

^^No, its not a "dynasty server unavailable" error. Like, literally, when i go into "Continue Dynasty"......its not there

^and me and NyM played ours last night, so its just Clem/Maryland left

[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 1:22 PM. Reason : ,,,]

7/25/2008 1:21:59 PM

i dunno about that one...you sure you're logged in on your correct profile?

7/25/2008 1:22:45 PM

^yes i am....its a common problem too.....alot of people are havin trouble. I'll try it again in a minute

7/25/2008 1:23:23 PM

i dunno...i guess i'm lucky to have had so few issues with my ea server connections

7/25/2008 1:24:35 PM

i dunno, you guys may wanna check before you say anything. Cuz i could take a picture and show you what im talking about. It was fine last night, and now the dynasty just isn't even there

7/25/2008 1:26:58 PM

Maybe you got booted ?











psych, I'll check whenever I get home this afternoon

7/25/2008 1:30:08 PM

just tried it and it works perfectly fine for me.

7/25/2008 1:32:40 PM

Just a heads up, I will be out of town until Sunday afternoon.

7/25/2008 1:41:55 PM

^same here

7/25/2008 1:44:21 PM

So are expecting to advance sometime today

Or should I just be sitting here with my dick in my hand

7/25/2008 4:50:17 PM

probably both

but if people continue to have problems, do we say fuck it and sim the game or 2 that wont connect, and then hope the errors are corrected by EA/Xbox/whoever for next week?

7/25/2008 4:59:37 PM

new xbox just in, you there tracer?

7/25/2008 5:03:50 PM

I'll be out until about 11pm.

7/25/2008 5:26:04 PM

i'll be ready to play when i get back from dinner. leavin in about 10 minutes and then probably back by 6:30-7

7/25/2008 5:28:54 PM

i'm online and ready to go

7/25/2008 7:12:16 PM

i'll be on at 7:30

7/25/2008 7:23:16 PM

man my palms were sweaty...gg dg.

you beat the crap out of me on my first possession and then ran all over me on your first...thought i was gonna get taken behind the woodshed.

7/25/2008 8:16:54 PM

Interception definitely turned shit around. not having a fucking mlb doesn't help either, i.e. the huge fucking holes you had up the middle most of the game that I had to collapse on you from the outside. Along with running the clock down, I had no time to establish anything on the ground. lol maybe not so much not having time as getting frustrated.

gg

[Edited on July 25, 2008 at 8:26 PM. Reason : .]

7/25/2008 8:24:53 PM

yea i thought that fumble was the turning point, but luckily it didnt hurt too much. i did see i lost my starting rb, but didnt see for how long. backup did all right.

i was debatin when i should start tryin to run the clock cause i couldnt do much on the ground and i didnt want to just keep goin 3 and out.

your fake punt caught me completely off guard. that was all the computer stoppin you on that one cause i had no clue.

7/25/2008 8:27:49 PM

oh well, bye week thank god.

7/25/2008 8:30:24 PM

so ready to advance now ?

7/25/2008 8:31:09 PM

yea i think everyone's done

7/25/2008 8:35:20 PM

alright I'll try to make it home by 10 and move us along

7/25/2008 8:36:35 PM

i wish i was in this

7/25/2008 8:48:50 PM

^do you have the game? I'm pretty sure that you're now next on the list in case someone drops out.

7/25/2008 9:14:29 PM

yes i do

7/25/2008 9:25:43 PM

Week 6:

Boston College(2-2,0-1)[TreeTwista10-Akwatic] at NC State(3-2,0-1)[stixman-Freeloader007]

The 2nd annual Tom O'Brien grudge match kicks off with both schools looking for their first conference win. Can Jags prove he can win without a 1st round NFL qb handed to him? Line: NCSU -4

Duke(3-1,0-1)[Slave Famous-Squadoosh] at Georgia Tech(4-0,2-0)[Apocalypse-hey now 79)

The Devils are looking to rebound from their first loss of the season, while GT took advantage of their bye week to rest from a hard fought and physical win over previously ranked Miss State. This game will come down to turnovers and Duke's ability to stop the run. Line: GT -2


Maryland(4-1,1-0)[tracer-saturn1118] at Virginia(3-1,1-0)[pttyndal-ncsuftw]

One of the more underrated rivalries in the East will kick off this Saturday in Charlottesville. Someone will go home with their first conference loss of the season. Maryland will be without the services of head coach Ralph Friedgin, who taking the game off to "rest from having to breathe some much".
Line: pickem

Game of the Week:

Florida State(4-0,1-0)[HaLo-stokedgecko] at Miami(4-0,1-0)[NyM410-Nym410]

C'mon. FSU/Miami...need we say more. Fans of both schools are hoping this match up will live up to the epic battles of the 80's and 90's. Line: Miami -5

Maryland (4-1) (1-0)
Clemson (4-1) (1-1)

Boston College Recruiting Update:

BC still hasn't signed any recruits, but the 12 recruits that visited Chestnut Hill last week during the Eagles' 80-7 thrashing of Rhode Island all ranked their visits either A- or B+ which is good news for Eagles fans. A number of 4-star prospects visited but the top prospect on campus was the #3 halfback in the nation and #27 player overall in the nation, 6'0" Gavin Gant out of Hanover, New Hampshire. Gant boosted the Eagles to #1 in his Top Schools list, vaulting over Ohio State and Auburn. But don't get your hopes up too high BC fans; Gant has yet to make his campus visits to Auburn or Columbus.

7/26/2008 12:01:26 AM

Halo... I'm bout to go out to the bar tonight, but hit me up on aim or on here if you want to play tomorrow... same name as on here for aim..

7/26/2008 12:11:24 AM

looks like week 6 won't bring cutcliffe and the dookies that 1st acc win since 2004.

[Edited on July 26, 2008 at 12:26 AM. Reason : ]

7/26/2008 12:24:40 AM

28-14, GT. Like I predicted in the preview, turnovers were key. Duke threw THREE early ints, including a pick six on I believe the first pass of the game. I forgot to look up stats, but I'm willing to bet Duke dominated in total yardage. The Jackets were able to take advantage of Duke stacking the box to stop the run with some play-action passes for big yardage.

7/26/2008 12:45:40 AM

Yeah that sucked

Same thing that happened to me last game

I'd drive all the way down the field then fuck up and throw an INT

My dude had 320 yards, but 0 TD's and 3 picks

You kept getting me with that roll out play to the RBs, I dont think your receivers caught one ball

7/26/2008 1:21:21 AM

damnit. looks like I might be gone til god knows when today. Have nothing to do tomorrow so I should definitely be able to get it in then.

7/26/2008 9:15:11 AM

TT, I am around pretty much all day. Let me know when you want to play.
