GWJ BCS League (360) Pre-Season (League Deadline: 4/24/12 @ 11:59pm ET)

ready

We have rolled to Week 2. Keep it movin!

ready!

Ready!

Ready!

Finally got all of my soft commits to fully commit. Also ready.

I am ready, stole a DT from LSU

Also...just a heads up. I applied for a new position at work to do an overnight position. It pays about $100 more a paycheck but its weird. I would work 6pm-6am M-F and 8pm-6am on weekends. The job is 7 days on, 7 days off...so you basically cram all 80 hours into one week. It would be tiring and busy but I hope I get it...However, I dont know what that would do for me playing in the leagues. I could still play the CPU opposition but human games would have to wait til the weekends. Anyway...I think that with the pay increase and the allure of 7days off in a row makes the crappy work week worth it. When it boils down, instead of working 10 day pay periods, I would only work 7 days a pay period. Plus I still get the Holidays off (I think). Either way, wish me luck. I am one of 3 that applied for it.

How is coverage? What if you get sick or want to take some time off for vacation?

Sounds interesting though.

Section 10, paragraph 3, subsection b: States that you are only allowed to get sick on days that you are off.

LMAO

from my understanding,. if you are sick then you call in at least 6 hours prior to your shift. You have to report to employee health and have them deem you are indeed sick enough to be incapacitated from work. Vacation must be scheduled a month in advance and they find a "temp" person to help out.

Bonney's left to recruit, and then we can roll.

Will get it done tonight

Nevermind just did it on the PC.

Let's roll!!!

OK, so it does not allow me to roll from the web during the offseason. WTF. EASports fail.

League was rolled to Week 3 last night, FYI

EA sucks. For some reason the emails noting that a new week is upon us have stopped coming.

EDIT: ND is ready to roll. Somehow I swooped in and grabbed a fricking 5* WR away from Ohio State! Not quite sure how that happened.

Ready

I think it's just gone for the offseason. Not saying it's logical, but that's why it's happening. I'll try not to leave anyone behind

I have Zell with 10 hours remaining, Rutgers with 5 hours remaining

I'll finish up at work today.

Rutgers is ready

Week 4 recruiting! Get it while it's HOT!

*EDIT*
Rutgers is done with recruiting for Week 4.

Notre Dame is ready. Managed to swing an instant commit from a 5* QB!

On the downside, a DT I was close on has probably slipped away. I was just in 2nd place a few weeks ago, then lost an hour of time to a website glitch. That sunk me...and allowed Leroy an opening, that bastard!

I've figured out the website problem, it seems. The old recruiting site doesn't like Chrome.

Oh, and I've recruited two 3* punters. Why did I do that? Well, Michigan was listed as one of the favorites on the second guy, so I figured I had to try to win at least one recruiting battle against Leroy this season. Let's see how it feels in a few years, Leroy, when you're only averaging 42.3 yards per punt instead of 44.5!! SUCK IT!

I'm probably the only person who has not recruited a 5-star player in NCAA11 or NCAA12. I think that's going to be my goal for next season.

It helps that we started out as 5* schools. Even then, I didn't get any last season.

I guess we'll just have to play faster so that you can increase Rutgers' prestige even more!

As much as I'm connected to ND, I'm going to go a different route with our league in NCAA13. I don't know what that is, but I'll try it out... I do like the 2* league approach. I'm glad we're doing both again.

If you're willing to give up ND, I am willing to run a 3-star BCS league next year. One, it will allow me to play as Rutgers Two, it will give us a slight upgrade from the 2-star league, and we can build up our programs slightly faster.

The other idea is to make this a Top 25 league, and everyone starts with a team with a 5-6 star prestige (Don't necessarily have to pick a team in the Top 25, but chances are, they'll be there). I will then bump up the recruiting level from 2 topic changes to 1 topic change per call.

Michigan is ready!
