NCAA 11 GWJBCS League (Xbox 360): Bowl Week and Offseason

Ok...I got the error on visit scheduling 3 times. Booted me back to the hub and I lost both visit and the time.

I've got it all in now. Do I have to click something to say I'm ready to advance or does it just assume?

Week 1 Recruiting done.

For those of you using the website, it is still technically considered beta. I hate to see you guys missing out on recruiting time just because it is a tad more convenient than starting up the game and doing the recruiting in there.

I am going to have no choice, since I am going to be in Vegas, lol

I will start up the game from here on out. I too tried the site and had it bomb out.

Hey everyone, may I hop in once your offseason is complete? Any PAC-10 teams available?

See if they have NCAA 11 on those N64 magic controllers in the hotel room. Sure, it'll probably cost you $1,500, but you won't lose any recruiting time.

I have no problem with it, but I am going to concede to the two people who are already in the Pac-10. Redhwk and DS, please let me know if it is OK to have a third in your conference?

Leroyog, is there another conference you would be interested in? The teams already in the league are: Boise State, Houston, Michigan, Notre Dame, Navy, Rutgers, Pittsburgh, Northwestern, Oregon State, Washington and Kansas.

The SEC is looking a bit empty, how about I take over LSU?

I have no problem conceptually with another person being in the Pac-10. However, part of why this ran so much more smoothly than any APF2k8 season we played is because we had so many CPU games that it made it easier to get games in faster. That's just my 2 cents. I don't object to another player in the Pac-10. I'm just a little concerned with any conference having too many opponents for that reason.

Totally understand. I was in an 8 man, Sun-Belt dynasty. It was tough to get together with some of the guys. I dropped out of it because it was too hectic. I really dont mind which team I get. LSU works for me.

LSU sounds good to me. It would give us another person in a big conference.

By the way, where are we on recruiting for this week? Who is left to go? I haven't had a chance to log into the Xbox to see if it marked me as ready. I imagine it did since I used all my time, but with the way it crashed during some of the recruiting, who knows how that got registered.

EDIT: Oh, and welcome Leroy!

I am not sure, but I will check when I get home from work. Today is the last day to get recruiting done anyway since I will be advancing the league at 11pm tonight.

Welcome, Leroy!

You might as well jump in now, and see if you can snag some decent recruits.

If I'm busy I'm happy with the computer recruiting for me. That's just life.

Did you set it to autopilot?

Ok, send the Invite over. My user/xbox tag are the same. Thank you.

Invite has been sent.

We are now in Week 2 of recruiting. You have until 11pm Monday (Oct.25) to get your recruiting in. If you guys want to roll this sooner, I can make it two days instead of 3.

Week 2 recruiting done. Damn...Michigan took Walli Wright.

Oh well...not only was I able to do all my recruiting online with no fails, but I got the 2x giddy-up on 2 5* recruits and a 4* recruit. Two of those are players that weren't interested in ND. Here's hoping that 700-800 points in one phone call brings them around!

Week 2 recruiting is in the books.

What are their names so I can swoop in and steal 'em?

EDIT---
Recruiting done.

4 down and 8 to go. I am done and nothing worth mentioning recruit wise.

Done as well.

Just noticed tonight that I was now a four star school. Helps with the recruiting.

Done here. Trying to snipe some 'uninterested' that have Houston in their top 10. Probably not making any progress.

Recruiting done. Doesn't look like I'm going to be getting anyone else. Ah well.

7 down 5 to go.

Rutgers recruiting woes:

Player 1: Lost last 3 topics, reloaded into a new window
Player 2: Lost all 6 topics, reloaded into a new window
Player 3: Made all 4 topics
Player 4: Lost last 2 topics

Players 1, 2, and 4 were all 3 stars
Player 3 was 2 stars.

Awesome. I officially hate their website, I never had this much trouble recruiting during the reg season. Could be because I am logged in wirelessly to hotel WiFi. If it happens again, I might have to wire in.

At least I am up $59 in Vegas after 90 minutes of gambling.

*EDIT*
Dropped 1 more phone call before everything was said and done. Worst week of recruiting by far for RU. I am good for Week 2.

I've had no issues recruiting online. I'm using Firefox on Mac OS X. The main thing I try to do is be very slow about what I click. The site is sluggish, and doesn't appreciate extra clicks. But if I am methodical, it works perfectly.

Heck, last night I accidentally shut my laptop in the middle of a phone call. I opened it up, and was able to continue the call without missing anything after waking it it up.

Oh, and I have nice tune for firesloth:

All wrapped up here.

Just an FYI...

My 360 RROD'd this morning. I'm still under warranty, so no worries there, but it'll be a few weeks.

I can use my roommate's for the time being, but he's moving out in 2-3 weeks time. Hopefully there will be a quick turn around here.

If we move on, I won't be available until Tuesday.
