Not gonna lie...the nature of this format means that the 40 OVRs will get bumped pretty fast. Our new guy, (name withheld since he'll probably be renamed), will probably break all of those records before bowl week.

...or maybe not. Things get pretty weird in season 2. You've got guys that are vastly superior to the initial starters, and then you have those guys still on the field. There's going to be a lot of unbalanced stat lines depending on who I'm playing and where there stars are. We'll see.

I think our rivals should be south carolina or arizona state. Jesus said turn the other cheek, but I don't think BYU should be so forgiving after getting screwed out of being the first ever football champions.

Jesus may have said turn the other cheek but Joseph Smith said build a private army and gently caress up the local newspaper.

I don't think bama make a load of sense in this new football era. Sure, in our real NCAA hellworld the SEC is the ninth circle but in fantasy NCAA land none of these teams have any history and nobody knows who the gently caress bama is. Teams like Kansas or whoever else is good at basketball are probably the most popular because march madness would be the biggest NCAA draw.

Well, right now I have 2 votes for screwing with Nick Sabin, but nothing else. I'll have to muck around in the data, but I'm pretty sure you have have more than 1 rival.

We did well for ourselves, and I'll be outlining the claiming process in another post in a bit--I want to make sure that I get everything square before I put it up.

....and we're ready to start putting it together:

So, here's the breakdown on positions. I'll post this on the episode list so its easy to find, too. I'll be updating it as positions are claimed. You have until SUNDAY at 7:00 PM EST to claim your roster spot!

The only rule is: pick some names that are different than what has already been used. There is an 11 character limit per name (found that out due to "Weatherfield" not fitting).
The link to the details video is here

Here's what available, and how many spots:
QB = 1
HB = 1
FB = 1
WR = 4
TE= 3
O LINE = 5
D LINE = 3
LB = 3
CB = 5
FS = 1
SS = 1
K = 1
P = 1

Have at it! :v:

Ok I’m going to claim the entire offensive line since 1) I don’t think anyone wants a loving O-lineman and b) seriously who wants an o-lineman? OP feel free to override me on this if anyone claims literally a single boring rear end line man ok here goes

LT: Prick Baxter
LG: Buck Pucker
C: Orville Nash
RG: Red Brown
LG: Virtual Balboa
RT: Smitty

Not sure if you want specific picks for the positions with multiple, but if so, I'll grab the athlete prospect Williams. Hopefully we'll see some more completed passes this season!

I don't imagine anyone wanting a O lineman, so I will give you the O line unless someone else comes in and really wants one.

However, I can't have single name characters (no blank fields), so Smitty Baxter plays LT, and Virtual Balboa plays RT now.

Since you're the first one that wants a WR, I'll put you at the top of the depth chart. I don't remember off-hand who I shuffled over there, but you'll get that one.

I am someone with little experience with football but I have been having a blast watching the games. Clownball has been so much fun.
Could I get a player who will receive the ball, no clue about position, named Captain Oblivous to encourage more catching.
That or to chuckle when the ball bounces off his head.

How about Obie Livious? It's a little closer to a real name.

As for position, I'll make him a TE. He'll get his chances to catch (or not catch) the ball

I think Poindexter Nurdlie would be a good fit as a defensive tackle!

I'm pretty certain I can't do special characters (I'll take a closer look when I go to edit), but I'll keep the name. I also have an excellent LB I picked up that would work well!

Biff Chuks? Sounds like it's with an accent. Also a little closer to a legit name. Sorry I'm being weird about it. Number shouldn't be a problem

It'd be easy to make them free and strong safeties. Name might be a touch modified because I'm pretty sure I can't do special characters.
