GWJ BCS League, Season I (360): Conference Championship Week (League Deadline: 12/31/11 @ 7:00am ET)

Michigan wins 63-0. Had the second string in at the start of the 4th quarter. Pretty much just ran the ball out. Sacked EMU's QB 8 times and held them to 72 yards of total offense.....

But......my game froze as I was going back to the main menu....so I get to do it all over now. Damn you EA

Michigan wins 41-3. It stuck this time.

Recruiting is done and I will get my game in later.

Tomorrow night probably isn't good. Thursday night might work after midnight Eastern or so. I'm going to a concert, and that's probably the earliest I could be home.

This weekend is bad. My girlfriend's birthday is Friday, and her brother is coming into town, so I'll be booked solid with that stuff all weekend. Monday night could work, potentially.

Why don't we aim for Monday night...unless you're available tomorrow morning or early afternoon. I don't think I could do midnight tonight given my cold. It's been kicking my butt.

My recruiting is done. This season is (so far) working out better than the partial season we played last. It could still tank, though...

Rutgers is going the other direction. I have 2 three-star recruits, compared to 1 from the original season..................which was a kicker. That's like recruiting gold. I'm lucky if I get a 2-star kicker to replace San San Te.

I only have one......5* recruit interested....:(

:p

My schedule is hurting for recruiting though. I could either do week 4 or week 9 for visits. eek.

That's because you played all those chumps in the first few games...like ND.

Navy and Michigan State are the only easy wins on my schedule. [I so totally, totally tease, Counselor.]

Monday works better for me, anyway. I plan to stay a the girlfriend's apartment tonight to engage in some for Boogleing.

Is that like hanging curtains?

I believe that is Canadian for Under-water curling

I lost 24-21 to Temple, but the game didn't save for some reason (this is like the 3rd or 4th time this has happened to one of us this season). I'm going to replay it this morning.

It's a shame it didn't save, although I lost, it was a great game.

*EDIT*
Did everything the same, but this time the results stuck. Only thing I did different was I left the XBox on during the post-game report while I went to my wife's baby shower yesterday. Maybe the delay f*cked with it, but oh well. Played worse on offense, but so did they. Won 24-3, but I wanted my stats and replays from the 1st game. Speaking of replays, my counter TD in the 2nd game was unavailable for some reason. It was a thing of beauty.

One thing I also noticed from both games, in the 1st game, I took the wind in the 1st quarter. They proceeded to get the wind in the 2nd and 4th. Stronger wind in the 2nd game, I took the wind in the 2nd quarter, thinking I would get it in the 4th, like they did in the 1st game. Instead, I got it in the 2nd and 3rd.

that does seem to happen a lot...I think you have to exit all the way out rather than just shut it off. It seems stupid, but I think thats the key to making sure it records....I am also thinking I might make this my only league. The madden one is turning stupid. Spynavy still destroys everything with his pass attack and quite frankly, I am pissed that they blocked my trade because "it doesnt make sense" they cant give me a valid reason why. If up to the computer, the com would do it. Just makes me mad.

You'll like this league more. We dont veto any trades.

What was the trade?

My brother-in-law is in town, but I will try and get my game in tonight after everyone goes to bed.

What was the trade?

QB K Orton (82)
FS D Sharper (82)

for

QB J Cutler (85)
FS B Meriweather (79)

granted, the real NFL would be like WTF....but my offline franchise accepted the trade. so I thought it would online too...

A lot of games left to be played.......................................

Counselor -- are we on for tonight? How is 11 pm? If this doesn't work, does tomorrow?

Also, FYI -- I will be gone Oct 27 - Nov 2 late night. I will try to get my game in Wednesday after we roll. If we get delayed, I can probably play it the night I get back (next Wednesday).

Northwestern (Gdawg27) at NC State (XBox)

I'll probably play this tonight.

EDIT: Just went into the Madden thread to see what Zell was talking about. Don't miss that league at all. Didn't buy Madden for the first time since I got the 1st version for my birthday on PC years ago along with Lakers vs. Celtics. Hopefully '13 will bring me back.

WELCOME TO THUNDERDOME!!!!!!!

So, my Internet isn't working at home. Unless I can play on my iPad, I would accept Kush dropping me and letting Fire play. I don't think tomorrow will work, as I won't be home till 1 or 2 am, and I couldn't commit to playing even then.

Sorry guys!

That sucks. I could potentially play Wed. Night...but I have to leave the house at 5:30 am. And I'm got sure how my wife would take that. The Commish can't rearrange the schedule mid season, can he?

If this is the choice we have to make, let's do it soon to give time to play before I leave.

That sucks Counselor. I'll boot you and reinvite you. Also, we are still waiting on Omega. About 24 hours left in the deadline.

Played Florida in the pouring rain and won 28-21. Nothing spectacular except for long drives for scores.

Nice Shag!

If for some reason I don't get to this tonight, just roll the league and sim the game. I'm hoping to play my UCLA game before I leave...

Typical Firesloth....looking ahead to the next opponent..
