I SAID WE'RE NOT GONNA BE FUCKING SUCK THIS YEAR!!!

Season 5 is here. Hokies Hokies Hokies with their 3rd ACC title won, and their 4th Coastal title. NC State made an appearance for the Atlantic over FSU, and UNC/Miami came close but couldn't seal the deal. At this point we are all perilously thin thanks to weird recruiting. Time to see how these all original rosters play out.

Coastal Division Preview

Georgia Tech -

Miami -

North Carolina -

Pittsburgh - ABANDONED AND UNLOVED THEIR COACH WAS FIRED.

South Carolina -

Virginia -

Virginia Tech -

Atlantic Division Preview

Boston College -

Clemson - Come back Capn...they're like the Lost Boys without Pan. Talented, but not very troublesome.

Florida State -

Louisville - The Empty Throne of Bobby Petrino's Motorcycle

NC State -

Syracuse - DUMPSTER FIRE OF THE FROZEN NORTH

Wake Forest - Back into your bag of lovely tricks with you Demon Deacon.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------
For those that may be new to the dynasty here are some things you should know about how I run this ship.

1)I am a considerate commish provided you post and stay in touch with the dynasty through the thread (when it concerns player games) or contacting me in AIM/PM. If there are scheduling problems, provided I am aware of them I will work with y'all to get games played.
2)I am a cruel and powerful commish, I move this thing along when I say I plan to especially as it concerns CPU games. I will often set a deadline and players need to get their games in. I don't wait on people with CPU games unless there is the aforementioned communication about a situation.
3)We don't play FCS teams in this league. We prefer mid major meats around these parts.
4)It's a good time in here, trash talk is fine and we will all have fun with the thread.
5)I will listen to suggestions about improving the game play of the dynasty, but the decision to implement anything is ultimately mine.
6)I don't care about CPU games; they are for getting bowl eligible and pointless stat padding. I won't be upset about a reset or two along the way. That said don't restart a half dozen times because someone got injured.

If you got problems all I gots to say is


----------------------------------------------
Teams by Division

Coastal
Georgia Tech - cletus42o GT cletus42o
Miami - John Brown GT True Cryme
North Carolina - slywalker13 GT Slywalker13
Pittsburgh - OPEN
South Carolina - After Father GT BJTheRealist
Virginia - OPEN
Virginia Tech - Zsbaug24 GT JDMTyte

Atlantic
Boston College - Texas A Wrecksus GT QuickDrawQuincy
Clemson - Lil Jon Galt GT Kancho :iiam:
Florida State - OPEN
Louisville - OPEN
NC State - Dioedeus GT BenedictWong
Syracuse - OPEN
Wake Forest - OPEN

Wait List:

Wait list will work as follows; when a person drops out the first person on the wait list will get a PM and have 24 hrs to respond about taking the spot. If I get no response it's onto the next person.

Difficulty - All American; Adjusted Penalty Sliders; Recruiting is at Varisty
Quarters - 6 minutes
No QB Quiz, Ice the Kicker is On, Home Field Advantage is on.
No Recruiting boosters.

Basically I'm going to ask that everyone not play like an rear end in a top hat. I want to see good sportsmanship and that people play the game like real football within bounds. The game is trying to tailor it so you should be encouraged to do so, but lets actually try and care. I may make adjustments as the game goes along.

Z, tell me you gave us games against Nebraska, Iowa, and other top 10-15 teams?

Everyone got games against the top 25 for sure, but honestly I really don't like the conspiracy for all the ACC teams to play the entire top 15 ensuring one of our teams always makes the national title game. So as the cruel commissioner, I make schedules that give everyone a good enough SOS to make it if they go undefeated, but it would just never happen like that irl so I kinda like the intrigue of the BS of the system.

I've got more time now, can I grab a team on the Atlantic?

sounds like Clemson or Louisville are the best to run to?

I'd go back to Pitt but user balance :v:

I'd need an invite because EA bans people from leagues if they get removed.

Sure man, feel free to snag a team (Clemson remains in limbo for my man the Capn), but Louisville or actually FSU would be your best bets.

I'll get you an invite today.

He never will but the corpse of his team will shuffle on because of loyalty. It makes me sad thinking of booting him from the ACC Dynasty is really what it comes down to, once his CPU coach has been fired it's open season (prb 1 more year).

Hey, sorry, I wasn't able to get my game in before we left Tuesday afternoon for Thanksgiving.

I'll do my recruiting stuff from the web. If you can wait for me, I'd of course prefer that, but I won't be mad at ya if you want to move on. I'll be able to play by Saturday, that's when I'll be getting home.

I didn't realize 3 of you had byes or I'd have tried to have gotten it in before we left. :(

Oh, how the mighty have fallen.

Dude I accepted long ago I needed to find those 68-69 OVR dudes and just let them sit forever hoping they'll be okay as RS Jrs or SRs. However they grow so slowly, OL is tough in the game just like real life to recruit I guess.

And yeah my xbl account is tied to an email that neither I nor my roommate at the time can remember the credentials for. Thankfully it will let you change the email it sends info to in your account so you can fix part of that.

VT over UNC 16-7. My D played a lot better than I expected and I felt like I should have had this one but haven't had that little going on offence in a while. Who is your number #3 CB? The dude just smothers out routes while in man, it wasn't open all day (leading to the first pick, the second was me throwing just before the break and your guy somehow made it first). Everyone else was insane in man too. Do you somehow direct training? Seriously you don't even need safeties. Oh well, holding you to a slew of FGs does nothing if I can't capitalize.

As always your red zone and option defense are stifling. I knew points would be at a premium and I got a lot of big stops when you moved into my territory especially in the first half. Bush has been a great #3 corner, i finally felt like all my busts were on zone coverages and I'd be best served just going man and coming after your qb. I was statistically worse in every category execpt for TO margin and my one big punt return to let me kick the FG as the first half expired making it a 2 score game. Really tough on offense for both of us honestly.

For a game I never trailed it, it really felt like it was going to get away from me in the 2nd half. My defense really played outstanding for all but 1 drive in the 3rd. I can't direct training, but these guys have been waiting for their turn a few years, and I always put my coach points into anything Man Coverage related first.

Today's games that I played were totally draining. Advanced, I know I play Texas, but I can't remember if there are any other user games.
