I will have to live with this title since I am too cheap to buy a new one.
I could start a game today between 11AM and 3PM eastern. If needed I could play a game at 11PM eastern but I'd rather wait and try to work out a time on Monday/Tuesday. If we can't then should put me on AP, I won't be playing in the B1G championship game and delaying the league for 10 days for one user game is silly.

We're gonna have to wait because CPU VT (#2) will lose their sim this week, and if you beat AF you'll be playing either Cletus or ZSB in the BCSCG. I can't let a sim determine that outcome.

To UVA? Haha my wife's biggest fear come to virtual fruition.

AF I have Tuesday off as well so anytime Monday works for me. I'd prefer early afternoon or really late EDT but if we have to do some crazy hour (Italy time) I can deal so that we don't hold up the dynasty too much.

Not positive what the issue is. I've got a VPN router behind our crappy Italian one and have tried both with no luck. Last time I had a problem like the were were on the lovely hotel's internet. My only thought is that the Bataan is in port right now and all the guys/gals on the boat are on base buying laptops and ipads with their saved up money so they could be sucking up our bandwwidth. I would say we try again once they put to sea (should be a day or two) and hope it works then unless anyone else has any ideas.

What's happening? Your Xbox isn't connecting to XBL at all, or are you just having trouble within the game? If just within the game, is it just when triyng to connect to AF, or can you not get any random online game to work either? Have you been able to play a game before where you're at with the same setup?

I guess I could have given more information. I invite him to the game and we start but right after we make our decisions after the coin flip is says our connection was lost. and boots us. I tried to have him invite me but I never even saw the invite. I have played most my games for the current ACC and B1G seasons on this setup.

Tried that on my end. AF put himself on AP but I'd rather get this done if possible. I'm good most of tomorrow Italy time too.

Edit: I could try again in a couple hours if you want to try after resetting on your end.

We manage to get the game in an USC blanks UCLA 24-0 with fewer than 400 yards between us.

I thought it was crazy that M. Lee isn't running away with the Heisman but looking at MU's dude...I guess I can see why. Maybe I should've put Lee in as my returner as well :downs:. Only kidding, how you manage to run so many back is crazy. I think I've done one this whole game across all leagues and CPU games. Every kick I make against you and JB I consider squibbing it.

Sorry for the stat scumming this season. I never restarted to get a better game but given Lee starts out at 99 OVR and stuck around through 3 seasons (including one redshirt) I just wanted to see how far I could push him. He's probably done me more bad than good as now I use a wideout as my checkdown and that will likely transfer to other (read: ACC) league(s).

edit: AF I hope you didn't sacrifice real life too much to play this. I meant 11PM with my last post but I could see how that was ambiguous.

THE GAME

#1 tOSU (ZSB) @ #2 Michigan (cletus)


Attention all, if you'd like to switch to ANY team within the B1G or PAC 12 that isn't already occupied then let me know now. We will speed through the offseason because those are boring.

Some teams to consider are: Oregon, Stanford, Iowa, and Cal.

Hayes is really good at kick returns. I don't have the same success in other dynasties. He has 3 KR TDs this season - and that's out of only 19 attempts! Last season I had at least 5 KR TDs with him. It's definitely going to suck losing him.

Looks like my defense will be salty again next year with these players returning. Hopefully I can get some time in position changes to get them in the right spots. Offense looks like it can be scary if I can get my head out of my rear end and select one offense to run.

How this happened is beyond me, given that we should prb be in the same division. I'll take it though. I honestly won't really have time until Saturday night at the earliest. I may have time later tonight, but with my officiating I don't get to spend as much time with my lady as I'd like so I prb have an evening with her lined up.

Thursday/Friday I'm officiating, and I work all Saturday. At the latest Sunday morning?

We'll advance in 24-hr intervals excluding redshirting and recruiting. I'll allow 2-3 days for that.

The universe demands that no season passes without Michigan and Ohio State playing.

What I don't get is the media poll rankings that put USC at #2 and Michigan at #3, when USC has one more loss and lost head-to-head against Michigan during the season. (the other polls have it right)

I'm definitely around tonight, so if you have a chance, just turn on your box and see if I'm online. Otherwise, Sunday morning should be fine for me. You can also message me on GroupMe - I have the app on my phone so I'll get an alert if you do.

Do you know what times you might be good to go? Tomorrow morning before noon?

I'm completely free today/tonight (wife's at a bachelorette party) and then tomorrow I think I should be mostly free all day with a few exceptions.

I'm going to be so nervous. Huge game for both schools, being THE rivalry, for the Big10 championship, and for a berth in the BCS championship. And it looks like that game would be either you trying to avenge your loss against USC, or USC trying to do the same against me. Exciting end of the season!

I think I'm going to be heading to the grocery store around 12:30pm CT after my wife gets done having brunch with a friend - but we're not getting much since we're leaving Thursday for Baton Rouge (geaux to hell Ole Miss!). Once we get back I'll be around the rest of the day.

If I see you hop on around noon I can send my wife a text message to see if I have time to play before we leave, otherwise I'll just hop online when we get back and whenever you can get on, I should be here.

And this is not a rematch! We didn't play in the regular season. (unless you're talking about the BCS championship, which looks like it will be a rematch of MICHIGAN and USC)

edit - if you can make it before noon CT then we can definitely start the game. I'll just message my wife and tell her to take a little longer. She just left and I explained the importance of the game to her. I'm preeeetty sure she understood.
