NCAA13 GWJ BCS League, Season I (360)

If Counselar is leaving, that leaves me and Bill Bonney. Bill, let me know when you can get your game in, I'm starting mine now.

Rutgers leads Miami 24-3 at the half. I hope the one replay is able to be saved. One of Miami's WRs went to catch the ball, dropped it, but grabbed it as it was hitting the ground............still a catch, despite dragging the ball along the ground. Also, my guys like to drop the ball in open space, while their guys like to hold onto the ball after punishing hits milli-seconds after the ball gets to the WR.

I don't mind dropping the ball in open space, but play it both ways.

Like Leroy and firesloth have told me, you need to change your offensive setting and the guys will start catching the ball. Hit the LB button befire calling a play to change them.

On a side note. As of 3:30 this morning, I have power in my house. The wife and kids are happy getting warm and watching tv. The football gods must be pleased with me to give me football on Sunday!

This is really important. It helps a lot.

I'm sorry guys, but I am going to step down as commissioner. I never have time to sit down and play full games any more, I usually have to pause and return to the game at a later time. Today I was ready to step back in just now, and the XBox was at the dashboard. I don't have the time or the interest anymore to keep having to play games multiple times because something happens after I paused the game. A couple of weeks ago, I played a full game, only to have the XBox sh*t the bed after the game was completed. I'm going to try to stay in the league, but I keep holding up the league on a weekly basis as commissioner, which is why I'm stepping down. I don't mind having the league simmed if I don't get my game in, but I can't do that if I'm running the show, because I am going to hold things up if I do.

I'm going to assume Shag wants duties back, so I am going to defer to him first. If he doesn't want it, then I'm going to open it back up to a vote.

I am not going to be able to play a full game until tomorrow night. If we want to wait until then, that's fine.

Boy would it be nice if EA would finally develop a save game feature that allows you to suspend a game and come back to it at a later time!

We're all a bit busy right now. I haven't found that you're too far behind anyone else, Kush. Still, I trust your judgement on what you feel you can do.

It seems that everyone is a bit lax in the game this year. Maybe it is overload or just some better games that people want to play. If Kush doesn't want to be commish than I guess I can run it, but I will be strict to get the seasons in. I think that may get interest back into the game or possibly completely destroy it. To be honest, I could go either way myself.

Sounds good. I will try to get my game in sometime this week. Also have to play Zell in 2 star.

How we all doing on football these days?

Waiting, but I did win the National Championship with Pitt against Michigan in my offline dynasty!

Nice! I just won my second NC in a row with Indiana (years 2 and 3 of the dynasty), over Georgia this time. In year 2 I had just one loss (Notre Dame!!). In year 3 I went undefeated.

As unrealistic as that sounds, in the first week of year 4, Kentucky defeated Alabama!!!!

Oh, and the Big 10 is the hardest conference in the land, as I swapped out some perennial losers (I'm looking at you Illinois) in favor of schools like ND, Clemson, and Florida.

I will play my game this weekend.

Game done.

UCLA barely got by Baylor 24-17

Hi all -- I leave Wednesday for 10 days. If we roll soon, I'll play my game before leaving.

I'm playing now that the baby is asleep, we'll roll after I'm done.

League has been rolled gentlemen. I'm still going to resume commissioner duties, but Shag is waiting in the wings for now.

WooHoo! Glad to hear you're sticking with it, and that we've rolled. All of this real football going on has me jonesing for some faux college football!

Shag with the +3!!!

He found it so nice, he liked it thrice.

Not sure what happened there. I only pressed the button once.

Georgia Tech wins 21-14. Would have been better but the Wake Forest linebacker snagged a pitch and ran it back.

I'm leaving myself on auto-pilot for now. I may start playing again when I have more time.

Rutgers wins 27-3.

Zellbrige, Shonuff and Bill Bonney are left, and we're way past the deadline. Let me know when you guys can play. I'll give everyone until Friday night to respond, then we'll roll.

WooHoo! Glad to see this rise from the asleep.

lol...just now realized we had rolled. I will play tonight after I get back from Holiday Dinner.

I know I've been part of the problem, but I think I am going to start rolling at the deadline, if I play or not. I am rolling shortly.

*EDIT*
Rutgers won't be the hold up this week. Recruiting is done, and currently sitting on a bye week.
