Ready!!

Firesloth and I are done. Jawan Jamison rushed for 2 TDs in real life for Rutgers today, but in the league, he is transfering.

Spent 7 hours convincing people to stay...wtf.

They won a National Championship, so I would assume that a lot of players would want to leave early. Maybe next time you should lose a couple of regular season games

I said "ha, ha!"

Willhouse, Bill Bonney and Shag are left for the first round of the offseason. Although I am not marked as "ready", Rutgers is ready.

One of Rutgers' goals was to get a top 50 recruiting, it marked me down as a "fail" for being #51.....................one would think I could still improve my recruiting class with off-season recruiting.

I wouldn't think the recruiting cycle was a done deal yet...we haven't had signing day!! Just load up on 1 and 2* recruits!

One would think, but it has that goal as "Failed". Maybe it will move over once the off-season recruiting is completed.

*EDIT*
Rutgers is done recruiting for Week 1. If you are not planning on using the full 10 hours, please either note so on this thread, or mark your team ready to advance.

Michigan is ready to advance

Notre Dame is ready.

Recruiting for Week 1 is done for UT.

I hope you get a UTI

BTW, can I get a shout-out from Bill Bonney and Willhouse. I just want to make sure they're alive and well, since they didn't participate in the Players Leaving section. Granted, I haven't checked if they recruited for Week 1, so they very well could be active at the moment. I do think though that if they miss the first 2 weeks of recruiting, I will roll if they are the last two left to recruit, unless of course, they can send a message to the boards.

Yeah I'm alive. My Xbox hard drive screwed up so I had to buy a new one. I finished my recruiting for this week.

Also, I figured out why I lost recruiting time with the website – my laptop has suddenly become flakey when connecting to the wireless router. It dropped its connection in the middle of a recruiting hour, which caused the website to barf. I haven't had troubles with the website this year...when my hardware has been working!

That explains why you didn't check your Players Leaving. That sucks, sorry to hear that man!

On a related note -- if anyone else is interested in a 2* prestige dynasty, head over to the organization thread.

I think we should start that soon, even if we have a smaller contingent.

For folks who've not done this before, you take on a low-prestige school and try to make them better. It takes several seasons to do well, but we limit (hopefully) the number of human v. human games to make the seasons go faster. The initial season can be...well, rough. But it's always fun! It's a nice shared experience with the other players. It has shades of an MMO, in a way. You're all playing in the same world, even if you're not often directly competing.

I got a 3* recruit with +4 dexterity.

Are we all done? Seems like everyone was online last night...

I think Bonney is the only one left, but I will check when I get home today.

Finished this morning.

WooHoo!

is there a way to check and see who transferred in/out now that the week has past?

I don't believe so.

League is rolled, Week 2 of 5.

*EDIT*
Two Things:

A) Rutgers failed the "Top 50 recruiting class goal", because it specifies "during the regular season". Stupid.
B) Rutgers is done with Week 2, and is now ranked 41st in recruiting class.

anyone watch the Orange bowl? I did....that was a great show, lol

out of all user controlled teams, i am the only one that isnt ranked...if i had stuck with marshall, then i would be, lol. oh well...that will be over quick enough once we start season two. Lookout Michigan, I am coming for you

Done.

Recruiting done!
