NCAA14 - "Stan's League" - Celebrate Kush's New Addition edition

I will recruit at some point, it's probably fine though, I think I have all the recruits I will go after and they're maxed out.

Given this, I may roll this morning if I get an opportunity to play my LSU game. I'm home with the boy this morning...

Roll away, I am good for this week.

We are rolled to week 14.

Damn! LSU lost. So, now the match-up of the week is #4 NCSU vs. #9 LSU.

If I play this morning, I'll be ready to roll soon. You have 1500 points remaining. I managed to grab a 71-rated ATH who probably projects to a scrambling QB, if not possession WR. I'm in a good position to fill up this class.

Rutgers is ready in Week 14.

We're on to Week 15.

NCSU pulled out a squeaker over LSU, 19-17. LSU scored a TD with 20 seconds left on the clock, then they recovered the onside kick. Thankfully my safety intercepted their Hail Mary as time expired. Evidently the player of the game was my kicker, who kicked 4 FGs! LSU threw 4 INTs total. In other words, they played like Hawaii in the SEC championship in the other league.

Since you only have 300 points left for recruiting and didn't get anyone new, I'm going to roll to the conference championship week and beyond.

Since Virginia Tech beat Virginia, #3 NCSU plays Penn St. in the ACC championship. While NCSU is ranked 3rd in the Coaches poll, we're #2 in the BCS. So, if we grab the ACC championship, we'll likely be in the National Championship game.

We're on to bowl games. NCSU squeaks out an OT victory over Penn State and Christian f*cking Hackenberg.

I had to restart the game because my wife needed the TV last night. I was down at the half in that game 20-17, and Hackenberg had completed 19 of 20 passes. He wasn't quite as accurate in the game this morning, but he still chewed me up. It didn't help that I threw 4 INTs (ugh), including one very late in the 4th quarter when I was in a good position to take the lead.

I managed to push the game to OT with a 52-yard FG as time expired. I had the ball first and scored a rushing TD (on 3rd-and-1 from the 6 yard line). Then I was finally able to stop Hackenberg, sacking him to put them in a 4th-and-19 position. Thankfully his completed pass only went 18.5 yards, sealing the win. Phew.

Now I face OSU in the championship game...I'm gonna get squashed.

Good Luck FS!

One transfer for RU, everyone else are seniors

Done with week 1

NCSU loses to OSU in the championship game 21-9. It was 7-6 OSU going into the 4th. I kicked a FG to go up 9-7, but OSU promptly marched down the field, with Braxton Miller running over my defenders. OSU up 14-9. I drove down the field to be in position for a TD, but threw an INT in the endzone. Eventually as they wore down the clock, I let them score to see if I could get a quick TD then onsides kick...and threw an INT again.

Oh well. Onward!

I decided to do something different, and I took a head coaching job at Tennessee.

Rutgers ended up with the 44th rated recruiting class. NC State was #23. Tennessee was #29, but the class is awful.

We're on to position changes.

I made my position changes, FYI. I will push Shag to get on here.

I tried to send him an invite, but it said he didn't have an account with EA for some goofy reason.

We're at the Cut Players stage...

My roster says 70/70, so I think I am good.

Recruiting and red shirts are set

We're on to week 1. I attempted to move Tennessee back to the SEC, but somehow I goofed it up. Not sure how, but whatever. That means Tennessee and Rutgers square off in Week 2!! I'll just sim that week.

It's good to see NC State is ranked #21. I put them on my schedule for late in the season...give 'em a shot at some revenge for their beloved coach leaving.

I have to say, it's a joy to recruit from Tennessee!

I would imagine. I will recruit at some point before I leave work, FYI.

Week 1 is done.

And now, Week 2 recruiting is done

Advancing and simulating our epic throw-down now...

NOOOOOOOO!!! Rutgers beats Tennessee, 31-27! Kush, you bastard!

I try

Week 3 recruiting was done last night, FYI.

On to Week 5. Looks like you've already used your points, Kush. I'll roll sometime this evening or whenever I hear you don't want to adjust things at all.

Roll Tide Roll

Yeah, I mistakenly rolled when I hadn't played a game against Indiana. Chalk up another loss. Damn. And that after I got a nice win against Notre Dame.

By the way, did you end up with a PS4 or an XBO?

He went with a PS4. I go back and forth on joining the league. Only because I am trying to finish GTA5 achievements. I am also trying to finish all the games I have, so I can upgrade to an Xbox1 down the road. I haven't found a must have game on the 1 to get it.

I'm having a blast with Titanfall. Didn't think I would, but it's a whole lot of fun. Forza 5 is also great. But, if they don't grab you, they don't grab you. I'd agree that there aren't a lot of "must haves" on the system yet. I'm definitely enjoying mine, but I also have a lot of games to play on the 360!

I think the must have for me will be when the new Halo comes out. I think next year. Maybe by then the price will come down.

Eeep...got crushed by Ohio St. 53-28, and it wasn't that close. That's what losing the turnover battle 9-0 will do. Yes, 9 turnovers.

Let me know when you're ready.
