"nym you avail to play like... now?"

lol, no. I work M-F 7:00 - 3:00... I'll be around at like 6 or 7 west coast time tonight..

8/6/2008 12:08:40 PM

so thats 9-10 east coast right? haha damn time zones

8/6/2008 12:12:25 PM

well i only have about 6-7 more recruits that im really going after. All i did was find out who was interested in me and thought about how realistic my chances were of getting them.

I ended up with Grant thomas because one of his Very Highs was in an excellent spot and his MOST was in an excellent spot. Other than that, Damon Workman is the only other guy i ended up with in the Top 100 and thats because Clemson didn't offer him until late. The WR's and S's i got are mostly because of the playing time i'll be able to offer them soon. You guys have seen the bulk of my recruiting class. All thats left really is a 4* OLB, a Kicker, a 3* Tackle and an ace in the hole that im trying to keep quiet because i found him last night.

8/6/2008 12:12:43 PM

^ha. it helped that you beat me.

8/6/2008 12:14:05 PM

anybody know if I lost my soft commit from K bryan jack this week? I think he was visiting miami.

8/6/2008 12:16:09 PM

somebody tell me if Gavin Gant signed with Auburn or BC or if he's still mulling over his decision?

8/6/2008 12:17:36 PM

bryan jack committed to clemson

doh...gant, not grant. lol. commited to auburn.

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 12:23 PM. Reason : ]

8/6/2008 12:20:01 PM

damn...didnt expect to get him but i was close...he was the only 5* i was even recruiting

8/6/2008 12:24:21 PM

so I wonder if anyone will get fired after year 1.

8/6/2008 12:53:38 PM

according to my offline sim everyone kept their jobs and 6 teams were in the preseason top 25

8/6/2008 12:55:23 PM

so where does that put clemson on the recruiting rankings?

down because you wasted a scholy on a fucking kicker! haha jks

8/6/2008 1:08:45 PM

you're laughing now, until i start bombing 65 yard field goals next year from midfield.

jks, I never kick field goals, I really just want someone that can ding one off of howards rock during the pat

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 1:11 PM. Reason : .]

8/6/2008 1:10:04 PM

dont think we will play next year....

8/6/2008 1:10:59 PM

I doinked a 49ydr off the left upright yesterday and I have a shitty kicker. would've been good if my thumb hadn't slipped to the left when pushing up. kickers are once again too powerful.

8/6/2008 1:11:38 PM

they really are, in my game last nite my kicker made a 56 yarder in the snow no problem... could have been a 60 yarder *no wind btw

8/6/2008 1:12:39 PM

No one wants to pull the trigger and play for Paul Johnson. I have one lonely commitment from a 3 star olineman.

8/6/2008 1:16:34 PM

I have 1 3* too. can't remember what he is though. hell, when I simulated, I only got 1 more recruit and that was a 3* qb.

8/6/2008 1:18:49 PM

How many guys do you lead for?

8/6/2008 1:20:20 PM

about 4 4/5 *'s, a few 3*'s and number 2 or 3 on a lot more.

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 1:21 PM. Reason : ]

8/6/2008 1:21:10 PM

I lead for no 5*s, but nine 4*s. I don't think my losing streak has helped, though.

8/6/2008 1:25:37 PM

speaking of kicking, i'm pretty sure I have the #1 punter in the nation coming to play for Boston College...4 star punter...btw i recruited him in the first place since my other punter is a Senior...not usually a position i covet, but if you can get the #1 guy in the nation, might as well

8/6/2008 1:30:28 PM

ya never know when you might get in a field position battle and need a good punter though.

8/6/2008 1:40:10 PM

How many "seasons" do you guys plan on doing. I wouldn't mind really stretching this thing out for the entire college football season. Maybe get 10 or so seasons in. I know the pace will slow down considerably, but I wouldn't mind. And we could always replace guys who don't feel like playing anymore. I'm not a Madden guy so I won't be occupied with that.

8/6/2008 1:53:58 PM

i know im in it for the long haul.

8/6/2008 1:56:11 PM

I'd be willing to take a spot if anyone dropped out also.

8/6/2008 2:14:10 PM

damn 44 pages, I feel like i'm in the cool kids club

8/6/2008 2:29:41 PM

seriously... is it just me or are we freakin flying through this first season? what happened to 2 game weeks per actual week?

8/6/2008 2:41:18 PM

^i think we underestimated how easily it would be for everyone to get up with each other over the summer. Once school starts back up, i can see it slowing down to 2 game weeks per actual week.

8/6/2008 2:48:26 PM

oh i know... im just making excuses not to have to go into 'autopilot' mode against duke while im away for a few days.

8/6/2008 2:49:29 PM

set him on autopilot til after week 14 so I can hopefully come out of blacksburg with a win.

8/6/2008 3:03:10 PM

if we were already playing this season on heisman then i probably wouldnt have a problem with it

8/6/2008 3:08:42 PM

i checked my recruits at lunch...in addition to a hard commit from the #1 punter in the nation, I also got a hard commit from another defensive tackle

dunno all the names, but so far I have hard commits from:

2 4* DTs
1 4* DE
1 4* FS
1 4* P
1 3* QB

soft commits from a 2* FB and even though I missed out on #3 HB in the nation Gavin Gant, I think I have a soft from the #8 HB in the nation

8/6/2008 3:39:04 PM

I guarantee my 4* #27 HB with A+ speed will be better than any 5* HB with less than A- speed...

Power backs are about as useless in this game as wasting a scholly on a punter.

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 3:45 PM. Reason : x]

8/6/2008 3:44:38 PM

you're right, i probably shouldve settled for a 1-star walk on punter to replace my senior punter...special teams suck!11

speed does seem to be pretty key in this game though, at least between the 20s...i need some speedy DEs

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 4:21 PM. Reason : .]

8/6/2008 4:18:20 PM

Anyone interested in starting another dynasty? Maybe flipping the teams from the current standings, so the teams would be:

Quote :

"Miami : Akwatic Florida State : scooterncst8 UNC : Freeloader007 Clemson : Squadoosh Virginia : Iceman7772 Georgia Tech : saturn1118 Maryland : hey now 79 Virginia Tech : ncsuftw Duke : PDaaaaaveT NC State : BigCountry2117 Wake Forest : stokedgecko Boston College : NyM410"

would be interesting to see how someone who had a top team does with a lower tiered team.

8/6/2008 4:23:31 PM

i bet stixman wouldnt like it hahah

(because he'd be switching from NCSU to UNC)

i'll probably stick with my offline dynasty for now, that takes up some of my non online dynasty ncaa gaming hours

[Edited on August 6, 2008 at 4:26 PM. Reason : .]

8/6/2008 4:25:59 PM

yeah. This dynasty we've already started is gonna slow down before too long. I dont think adding ANOTHER dynasty to it with the same people would help things much

8/6/2008 4:27:46 PM

ha, it is funny that state and unc would switch.

8/6/2008 6:51:51 PM

ok well i'll be around until about 8 or 9 i guess and i'm going to see P express

8/6/2008 6:56:02 PM

so to answer my question earlier, apparently you aren't offered jobs at the end of a season in the online dynasty.
