I hate to ask you to wake up early for you, but that's probably what we will need to do. I can't really skip work to play football (as much as I'd like to), so if we could aim for a Wednesday night (US time) window I think that would be our best bet. Otherwise it's wait till the weekend.

How's Thursday night at 11 eastern (sharp) sound? An alternative would be Friday night as late as you care to play, which would actually be my preference but I understand that the childless sometimes like to do things on Friday and Saturday nights.

I'd like to try for tomorrow night as I'll be officiating Friday night and will likely be quite wiped. But if all else fails then yeah later Friday night may be possible.

e2: OSU over USC 35-17. Game turned on a missed FG in the 2nd quarter that let me get the lead, which I wouldn't relinquish. I managed to score right before the half (up 4 to go up 11) and get the ball to start the 3rd so I went up by 3 scores before USC touched the ball again. Also snagged a late red zone INT to prevent a closer margin.

Dio, what's your schedule like today? I'm working from home and should be free 10am-2pm CT.

This is true, but depth is precarious in a number of spots. I figure that next season most of my Oline will need to be freshman starters so umm could be rough moving forward. I'm more excited that I finally have a team that recruits the way I think they should.

Also did some mean things to FSU.

Anyone that recruits straight up QBs in this game is a fuckin fool. ATH is the only answer for your QB needs. My Vols starter was a JUCO dude. Always mine the boards late in the season for 2/3* JUCO players that have been ignored but will scout out 78-81 OVR and give you a couple year stop gap.

Even my stubbornness could not oppose this truth. Still, the guys I land have come nowhere near the quality of QBs you have with VT. I really don't understand it.

I got lucky and he's stuck around for 4 years. I had an even better dude lined up behind him, but he transferred to WVU. So i've pushed his poo poo in for 3 years now too. I'm not really sure what QB will look like on my VT squad next season.

Re: Der Juicen, unfortunately he did pass away. I always thought he was a good guy, he was the first person I really would have considered a friend meeting strictly thru online gaming. We texted and were friends on FB and whatnot, and came close to meeting a couple of times. Dude's demons finally caught up to him. Sad story really but I figured I'd take the time to write a few words about him.

That is really unfortunate to hear, I know he really enjoyed being part of these dynasties. He finally managed to stick around a good while in the ACC this time around too. Sad to know he isn't still playing with us because of that.

I threw an INT on my 2nd play of the game (bounced out of my WR's hands into his LB's hands) and then after that I played one of my best games. QB ended up going 17/23 or something for like 250 yds 2 TD/1 INT, but you played a perfect game. Your QB went 16/17 for 4 TDs, your HB had like 16 carries for 150 yds, and you were stout defensively. I felt like I had a real shot at the game a few times, but you never gave me a real opening. That was a fun game!

It was a fantastically even game, the stats are almost exactly the same in terms of yardage & plays. That bizzaro INT was sorta unusual to say the least. I was defensively okay, I think we both found our groove on offense going into the 2nd half it was back and forth the whole time. I got my 1 punt that I usually need, but I was fully prepared to get stopped on my last drive and lose. Your Oline out did my Dline for almost the entire game and your QB was dropping lazers through traffic. I honestly was surprised to win.

OSU demolished Minnesota. Nichols is maybe the best DE I've had in this game since Nicolas with VT the first 2 seasons. Dio is the only guy besides Wreckus that needs to play before R2A.

Two red zone INTs in the first quarter killed me. Plus the turnover on downs at the goal line. I had plenty of offense, just failed to score properly. Oh well onto next year it was a good game, really tense. Also sucked when my LB dropped an easy pick early in your final drive that prb would have sealed the deal for me. I could not get any pressure on your QB which just ruins my entire game plan. You oline won vs my dline in pass rush situations (rushing I did fine on more or less).

It was truly his golden moment I'm p sure. My first season with this team sucked poo poo man 3 losses. This recruiting cycle is gonna pay dividends in a season or two though provided we last that long!

At least I cleaned up in the awards season with my guys this year even if I fell just short. Home field advantage has mattered a lot in THE GAME so far in this dynasty.

It is beyond brutal that the roster cap is set at 70 not 85. It makes the 25 recruits per cycle almost pointless, and it also makes building depth next to impossible at key spots. You'll sign a million WRs, but you'll never find enough LBs, Linemen or safeties to keep a healthy # on your roster.
