I'm off this Friday so I can play at any time that day, but the earlier the better. I could even stay up late on Thursday, or wake up super early on Friday if necessary.

I'm having dinner with a friend tonight so if that ends in a timely manner then I'll be on.

Honestly, we'll just have to play it by ear. I'll let you know asap but they likely won't happen until it's near time to play.

My girl had a poo poo day on Monday so that tanked that day for me I feel ya.

So basically if we can't play tonight I won't be really able to play until next Tuesday. I fly out tomorrow afternoon and won't be back until late monday night. Which is a long delay, but with work etc this has just gotten to be a really busy window right now.

As always you commit hard with the safety, it's always my goal to break some big plays also my HBs are crazy at breaking tackles. That first Elliot Run woof. I've never seen the fumble at the goal line before, this game was full of crazy plays. With 6 turnovers it felt like I should have won by more, but you kept it tight until I took out both your starting and back up QB at which point I felt p good about holding on.

First B1G Title! Finally!

Usually I'm in the right place when I do commit - it's just making the tackle that's difficult. And, yeah, after that run I knew I was in trouble.

Michigan wins the Outback Bowl over Ole Miss, 63-14.

Heisman Winner DICK BUTT gives 3 final magic moments before graduating:

Starting QB Brown's only play of the game, also Michigan's first play of the game (after the actual first play of the game was an Ole Miss interception)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KIKZiqLIrTg

Freshman QB Thomas' first game (he was behind backup senior QB Morris - starting QB Brown is a junior), Dick Butt holds onto it tight to give Thomas his first TD (and only passing TD, though he rushed for 2 more)

Dick Butt was not much of a threat to me. And DAYUUM did he get jacked up.

Z, I still can't believe you ran all over my stud D. That was some Kancho vs NC State type poo poo.

Both my HBs and my QB are 99 OVR and just studly, I ran over EVERYONE this season so don't feel too bad. I knew I just had to stay committed to it after Elliot broke like 6 tackles on his way to a 50 yard run, because you stonewalled me 3 and out on my first drive. Wilson wasn't as much of a power runner, but once your guys tired out a bit is when he really took off running away from folks. I didn't look at the stats, but I'm guessing my QBs YPC were absolutely silly.

I'm more impressed I got you to turn it over 6 times because it honestly felt like I wasn't getting consistent pressure, just seemed like when I did I got a FF or an INT. Your HB was the first guy to go over 100 yards on me this season I think if you'd stuck to running the ball a bit more it might have turned out differently, he was going for 7-10 yards a pop through the first 3 quarters. I really questioned choosing to pass from 4 wide at the 3 yard line following that sack near the end of the first half. It cost you at least 1 point and could have cost you more if you hadn't broken up my pass into the end zone.

I got lucky that your QBs all went down otherwise this would have ended a 1 score game, it was the only thing that let me stretch my lead in the 4th quarter. It only took 5 seasons, but the team finally performed to the level it needed to and I still gave up 400+ yards to you haha

OMG that dickbutt ragdoll may be the most amazing thing ive seen this game do.

What was amazing about that run by Elliot is I ALWAYS play with conservative tackling and my defense is pretty great. That goaline fumble was some Jerome Bettis Steelers/Colts AFC Championship poo poo. Newby had never fumbled until that play, and my QB had never fumbled from a sack as well. I can't recall that play you're speaking of but I do remember there was a play where I threw a pick after breaking off your DL in the endzone. Is that the play you're talking about? Also, my offense was pretty balanced until I was down a couple of scores early in the 4th. I figured at that point it was a race against time.

What's even more funny about the QB situation is I pulled my 3rd QB out of redshirt just for him to come in, throw a pick, and then cross the LOS on the following 4th down attempt lol.

E: Here's the play that fumble reminds me of...

My XBL expires on May 1st and I wont be renewing it, so i'm AP after that. Had some fun games but losing steam on internet football in general right now, and paying for XBL just to get in a user game every few weeks isn't good value.

Let's hope EA can work something out with the NCAA and we can get games on next gen in the future.

This uploading glitch just might be the kill shot. I didn't realize it would be so meticulous. It even prevents you from scouting recruits.

Things have been working better since the other day. It did take me a while to advance the SEC (kept having to re-upload the file, only to get Retry Now - eventually I rebooted my 360 and the next try it worked fine). Not having any trouble reporting recruiting changes/etc though in other dynasties now. (just still doesn't seem to work via the website, only in-game)

I couldn't upload anything which ruined my chances at playing in the SEC. Can't do any recruiting and I'm assuming it won't upload game results as well so this could be the death knell... :smith:

It's been fine for me lately from within the game - I was able to advance the SEC on Wednesday after a few tries, and recruiting/position changes are now going through without any prompts to Retry Now.

If you're still having trouble, maybe actually try recycling your modem/router. When I was trying to figure things out on Tuesday, I feel like I was seeing that the upload to the EA server was getting blocked by my router's firewall.
