Sounds good. After you and Shag play, I should be able to roll the league during one of Emma's late night feedings

Not to toot my own horn, but Rutgers has a lot to celebrate today:

-Procured the #1 kicker in this year's recruiting class
-My job security is at 85%, which is 2nd overall in the NCAA (Kentucky has a 97%), and I've been bumped up to a C-rating. Not really sure how, especially since Michigan is undefeated, and only sitting at 67%. Rutgers has low standards I guess, lol.

*EDIT*
Rutgers is done with their recruiting.

Tennessee is done recruiting.

You are correct. Rutgers has low standards.

BTW, here's who's going where next season:

Big10 (Legends)
-Michigan
-Notre Dame

Big10 (Leaders)
-Georgia
-TCU

ACC
-Boston College
-Tennessee

Big East
-Marshall (Big East Blue)
-Rutgers (Big East Black)

I decided to do it this way, so I can get more HvH matchups. I am going to amp up the ACC and make them relevant, but not too hard. I am going to try to add rivals to the Big10 teams, so the big 4 play each other. Since Marshall and Rutgers are rated low, we are going to only have 2 HvH matchups, but will have a chance to play each other a 2nd time in the conference championship. BC and Tennessee will get 3 a piece, while the Big10 teams will get 3-4. The ACC winner will play the Big East winner in a major bowl game.

Damn recruiting website. Once again I lose an hour on my top remaining recruit due to website issues...

I'll finish my recruiting tonight.

BTW, 3 hours into the week, we have 1 game remaining, Boston College knocks off Georgia Tech 35-28. Bill Bonney, no rush, you have until Christmas morning.

Sorry Firesloth, that sucks, and I know your pain. I just hope it was someone I was going after

That game was much to close for my taste. Went down 21-0 fast with a long run and two fumbles returned for touchdowns. But 5 interceptions by my defense and some guts getting was just able to sneak by. I also hate my kicker I think I may try my punter for field goals from now on.

I've found that the "accurate" kickers aren't worth a damn. They're fine if you're within 30 yards, but trying a 50+ yard FG is pretty miserable usually. The power guys are accurate enough and can hit from 55+ if you have good ones.

I'll often redshirt either the punter or the kicker if I can and use the same guy for both purposes.

Thi gut bounced two off the post granted it was from the far hash mark but I put more then enough room for him to hit and he came up short in an earlier game from about 35 yards. I tried recruiting a kicker but into it to late on the year. Hopefully I find someone in the off season.

Will get my game tonight.

I recruited online. Advance when everyone is ready. I'm only going after 1 more guy and it's not a big deal.

League has been rolled. Recruiting is done until the off season, so we only have to worry about playing games now. Because of the Christmas holiday, I will understand if we need to extend the deadline to get games in. Hopefully we won't have to, as 2 have 2 games, and one of them is a Human vs XBox matchup:

You need more teams in the ACC so there can be a championship game. Also, you could have 12 teams in each conference and then limited the conference games to 7 or 8 games which would give you more out of conference games that you could schedule. It should give you enough wiggle room to work out a schedule next year!

My plan with the ACC is to have the winner play the winner of the Big10 in a major bowl game. I could split it up so there's a championship game, it's up to you and Willhouse.

For NCAA13, I think we're going to either have a 2-star league, or keep everyone between 4-5 star schools, Zell and I are at a big disadvantage.

no kiddin....Rutgers is barely a 3 star school and Marshall is just a solid 2 star. Overall rating of 77. Now I got to play #6 TCU and get thomped. Oh well...I can play tonight Hoppa...say...in about 30 minutes?

I was thinking though...Kush, why dont we just switch schools in the off season? Stay in the same conference...Like WVU and Pitt....they are both 4stars and did good recruiting...just a thought.

Michigan handles their business. Devin Gardner started off shaky but finished strong.

Rutgers will improve in the offseason. If you move to WVU, I can bring Boston College and Tenneessee into the conference, and that would be a pretty even 4 teams. Let me know, I have no problem with the move.

good game Froggy....That was a tough team you have there....couldnt stop that WR of yours....Also completely forgot til we started that my primary QB is out with an injury...lol...I dont think the herd did that bad all things considered. Just hate those three turnovers I threw. That and when my line cant do a thing for my HB....just saw the stat...12 rushes for 14 yards...ouch. Anyway...you know your team and use them well....that was a fun game...have to do it again sometime

but...for any who want to know....My DE Vinny Curry got his 26th sack of the season and set the NCAA record for most sacks in a single season.

Why in the f*ck do I have a rematch vs Ole Miss? The damn game couldn't give me a team I haven't played? Two HvH games this week, since Christmas is in the middle, I am willing to extend the deadline. Good Luck everyone!

Sorry Boise State, I have this game locked up.....I have the Punter of the Year on my squad.

300th post.....I will get my bowl game in tonight....FSU is going to be another rough one
