PREVIOUS CHAMPIONS
Season 1 - Wisconsin Badgers
Season 2 - USC Trojans
Season 3 - Michigan Wolverines
Season 4 - Nebraska Cornhuskers
Season 5 - Ohio State Buckeyes
Season 6 - Nebraska Cornhuskers


DYNASTY RULES

1) I will be the first truly cruel commissioner of this era. There's not an actual timetable that I have in mind, because I am human and realize that every situation isn't always the same. However, if you have a CPU game I expect that poo poo to be played by no longer than 72hrs(excluding extraordinary circumstances of course). I don't care if you sim plays to see that it's done. The rate at which we advance will be very arbitrary and to my preference.

2) Please communicate in the thread on a regular basis. It takes but a minute to post about your schedule or any problems you're having in the dynasty.

3) Don't play like a jerk: nano blitzes, 24/7 no-huddle, putting speed WRs at TE(w/o officially changing his position), or in memory of my dear friend Bio - changing a CB to QB, ya know, poo poo like that. I'm not gonna get more specific then that so use your brain. If you have to think twice about it then you probably shouldn't do it in the first place.

4) You can reset CPU games as much as necessary to get the win. Please, no rage quitting against other users, and let's not destroy a user team that isn't available to play for that week. Just do enough to get the win.


CONFERENCE SETUP
We will be using schools from both the BigTen and Pac12 conferences, but consolidating them all under the B1G due to loss of players. This means that anyone joining after the season has started will have to choose a B1G team this season, but can switch to a PAC team(if desired) during the next off-season. Looks like we're to the Wild West as everyone will be shooting for a spot in the B1G CG, and possibly the Rose Bowl.

BigTen
East
Michigan - cletus42o, GT: cletus42o
Michigan State - Diodeous, GT: BenedictWong
Ohio State - Notorious ZSB, GT: JDMTyte


West
Nebraska - John Brown, GT: True Cryme
UCLA - Dubious, GT: Dubious28SS
USC - Slywalker13, GT: Slywalker13
Penn State - Texas A. Wreckus, GT: QuickDrawQuincy

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

Dynasty Name: SASBigTenPac12

In short, don't be a dick and pay attention to the thread you bastards. So without further ado, let's get to it!

We're at Week 1 and everyone has a CPU game.

I got an instacommit from a top DE...now watch as Cletus proceeds to clean house.

E: Holy poo poo this game. I made a pick 6 that not only got called back for a phantom OOB, but somehow wiped from the stats as well. For example, I clearly made the pick (and stayed inbounds) but the CPU thought otherwise and called me out at the 18. The possession switched over to my O and we drove the field. However, my SS never got credit for the pick, nor was the opposing QB listed as throwing it. Yet it circulated through the lowlights of the CPU QB. gently caress EA, gently caress Notre Dame.

Holy poo poo! Isn't that the first time ever?

This Nebraska roster is unreal. My starting QB is a 99OVR redshirted Junior with 92SPD. My SS Powell played out of his mind during the ND game even though he didn't have any picks. This LB corps is arguably the best I've ever had, and now my WRs are living up to the hype. All of this including a 90OVR 99SPD redshirted Sophomore HB.

Let the reign begin

My only regret is that I have but one season with which to recruit these young men.

After all of these seasons I've never experienced such a thing. Are you bowing out after this season?

Dio, your first user game isn't until week 8 so if you keep playing your CPU games you could still be undefeated when you're up and running.

If by Saturday night you guys can't land on a time to play before Sunday night, then Sly will go on AP and we will advance late Sunday.

gently caress if i know when i havet had power for over a day with no eta on restoration.

The sim has probably loosend my chokehold on the top 5 total tacklers and being on top of passing yards :mad:

Your team's roster improvement has been top of mind lately. I've been considering ending this league and starting a Big XII, but only if you stick it out until the end. I'd hate to reset for one player and then Madden steals you away. Also, I want to see if I can truly change your ratings at any point.

We'll address this in the upcoming offseason. For now, you're going on AP. Dio and Sly, since we advanced Saturday morning I'm going to give you until Thursday morning.

Ugh that blows. Well I think we're matched up next week. If you're expecting major improvement within the next week or so then I'd really consider holding off playing the game.

My vision is good enough I'll just stand in front of the TV like a toddler. How's Saturday morning to midday sound?

Saturday I could probably do 9:15/9:30am CT. Sunday morning is slightly more flexible with 9-11am CT being open. Either way we'd need to move quickly.

Wreckus, if you play ZSB like you did against me for 4 quarters you'll win. That first half was arguably your best half ever.

At this rate it looks like we'll be advancing Sunday morning. ZSB, you're probably better off with logging on and trying to catch him.

Cletus, I'm not 100% sure but I think we're up next. Could you play Sunday around 10:30am CT, or in between the late games and SNF?

For those of you who are scheduled with Wreckus, he is literally the most unresponsive person alive. The way I approach my games with him is to log on whenever I have time to also play a CPU game, and just checking to see if he's on as well. This has worked well for me as he always stops/quits whatever else he's doing to get the game in. It's not preferable but it beats the playing CPU, and doesn't inconvenience you as you were already intending to play a game.
