NCAA 11 GWJBCS ((Xbox 360): Year 3 Week 1

League Website

Welcome to Week 1!

I hope everyone is satisfied with the schedule. I had to redo it because I had a couple of teams playing each other twice. Then after about 10 redos I finally got it. If you are not happy with the schedule that means I did a good job. We have a few games to open up he season.

Boise State (Counselar) vs. Kanas (Jayhawker)
Oregon State (DSGamer) vs. Georgia (Coolbeans/Yankeefan4444)
Northwestern (Gdawg/shonuff) vs. Rutgers (Kush15)
Purdue vs. Notre Dame (firesloth)

Remember that we have one week to get the games in. Deadline is Monday morning March 14th. Also, do not forget to recruit if you are no t playing this week. Good Luck everybody and here is to another year of NCAA football!

Counselar, I look forward to playing you on green grass! Let me know when your times are good. We will need to get it in by Thursday night, as i head to Boston first thing Friday morning. And really, my flight is at like 6am. So the earlier in the week the better.

I won't be back until the following Friday. As I said in the other league, I might have access to a 360 next week, but my wife might also cut my balls off if I spend vacation time getting games in.

Sweet sassy mollassy, SEASON 3!!!

Good luck everyone. Except my opponents, I hope you all lose to me.

Jayhawker, I feel your pain, as I am in the same boat on my vacation

Shonuff, saw you can play Tuesday, what time is good for you? How is 7pm EST?

Oh man, just looked at my schedule. I get to play on that ugly blue turf in the last game of the year. Figures that the fate of my season could hang on the balance of that hellish field.

If we have to extend the first week because of vacations then we will do that.

Tonight I can get our game in after 5 or so. Let me know when and I'll make myself available. Tomorrow is a bit trickier, as I have court and won't be home until 9 or so. Wednesday night is good, and Thursday night is impossible, especially given your schedule. So, tonight or Wednesday are my best bets.

I'd hate to see you lose your balls.

Also, two of the Top 150 instantly committed to Boise State this week. They know a good thing when they see it.

I'm going to make them regret that commitment. They will be wishing they had chosen the Big Blue of the Jayhawks over that funky field.

Tonight will probably be the very best shot. In fact, if you could do close 5pm (EST, right?), that might be the best. Wednesday would be bad for me, as we having dinner with friends.

Woooo! Season 3! Who do I play this week? Idle? Never heard of Idle university...

Oooohhhhh.

Lame.

Edit: LSU in week 10? Ouch. Guess my strength of schedule just jumped up a whole letter grade.

I've been practicing a lot during the off-season, but it's been with the Horns. We'll see if that avails me better results with Houston vs. human players.

Don't worry Hoppa, I'll find a way to keep you in the game. I think all but 2 of my human games have been decided in the fourth quarter/last play of the game.

Damn, WTF. I guess they really wanted to go to Boise St. Nice work Counselar, color me highly impressed with your recruiting.

Good Luck Hoppa, Leroy is very tough.

I guess I somehow neglected to save my recrutiing board, so I had to rebuild it last night. hopefully that little bump you get from ranking your players won't cost me to much to start out.

But man, my team has tumbled. I dropped back down to a 3* school, and I had zero 4*'s even put me in their top 10. In the other league, with recruiting on Heisman, I am cleaning up with SMU. But no one wants to play football in Lawrence. Man, I wish there was a good college hoops game...

So, looks like my Week 14 matchup will be with Notre Dame, but I don't get to visit Touchdown Jesus. Firesloth, I guess we'll have to settle for Field Goal Snookie. Tyler King will be the next guy to try to put his balls between her uprights. Though, I think on long FG attempts, I need to bring in Sanu. Apparently, he has a 76 rating as a kicker. The guy can just do it all I suppose

Rutgers starts off with a steady diet of human matchups, as I will host Northwestern in Week 1, and visit Washington (Wk3) and Pittsburgh (Wk5) shortly after.

And Shag, you owe me an extra home game next season. Since there is never any Week 1 recruiting, I only have 4 weeks to bring in recruits to Piscataway this season, but I am completely fine with that, and seriously not b*tching at all, but I will request that extra week next year

I run into something similar as well but it's all conference games. I play 3 road games when I like to bring in my recruits.

I'm shaping up to have a monster class. I have four other members of the Top 150 that have me listed as #1, and another 9 have me second or third. That doesn't include the two that I already have in the bag. The positions match up pretty well for my needs, too.

DS, when do you and the Beavers want to play? Tonight is actually really good. Next couple of nights not so much, honestly because Dragon Age 2 comes out. I will be neck deep in dragons! LOL

Wow Counselar, you will probably have a top 10 or so class for sure.

I will try to blow out of work a few minutes early and be home by 5, but it might be a couple minutes after.

Oh, aren't we special with our "friends." You can stop rubbing it in that you're better than us anytime now, Mr. Fancypants.

EDIT: Forgot the obligatory code for sarcasm on the internet:

And actually, they really aren't our friends. It's the parents of our daughter's friend that is going to Boston with us. Yeah, so not so special after all.

Oh dear, shag wasn't pulling any punches.

LSU in week 2 followed up by Rutgers in week 3, and not even a tune up game for me to play in week 1.

Heading for an ultrasound. I will get my recruiting in when I get back, and then off to the practice field.

Shonuff, saw you can play Tuesday, what time is good for you? How is 7pm EST?

That should work.

Jay,

I'm home and ready to play when you are.

Week 1 recruiting is done. Got 1 instant commit from a 4* OLB. Hey-oh!

And that was rather disappointing, no instant commits

Boise State starts off the season on the right foot, going into Lawrence and beating the Jayhawks, 38-21. Boise State freshman quarterback Nick Bostic had a solid, if unspectacular debut, going a perfect 8 for 8 for 206 yards and a touchdown. The kid still has work to do, however, after being sacked three times.

Sophmore half-back Eugene Tate spearheaded the Bronco attack, carrying 21 times for 186 yards and four touchdowns. True freshman WR David Guerrero caught 3 passes and broke the 100 yard barrier in his first major college game. Guerrero said after the game, "I'm really excited about my chemistry class in the morning. The professor is brilliant, and I am learning so much from him. He's the best in the nation, for my money."

Defensively, Boise State's defensive ends showed why all quarterbacks are going to fear them, each sacking Jordan Webb twice.

Speaking of Webb, he had a nice game for the Jayhawks, going 20 for 37 for 385 yards and two scores. He did throw one pick, however, as Boise State won the turnover battle 2-0.

LMAO!!!!

I can't wait to play my game.

Just a heads up. Life has gotten hectic and complicated and I need to drop off the map for a bit. I apologize for that. I figured it was best to do it before I played a human and potentially ruined their record for the season. Take care, everyone.

Yikes; best of luck. Come back soon!

EDIT: Also, now I don't feel so bad for bad-mouthing Oregon State to those recruits...

Sorry to hear that DS. Hope everything is OK.
