[Striker]

Sorry 'bout that, wasn't at the computer. Position changes finished. Team looks mighty different than last year. Won't have a lot of high star talent - awful recruiting I've been doing. :\

EDIT:

Doing team cuts now. Only got one left to cut, contemplating who to ax.

[GCQuinton]

Who's all done with cuts?

[BigAT]

Hey, we're back. I did cuts.

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

BPH said he won't be done 'til 530 central. I'll be done before that.

[Nightz]

Won't get to it until later today.

[KanZolo]

Done with cuts. Got rid of 80% of recruits I just brought in. Feel like Saban.

Squad looks nastier than last year, can't wait to test them out.

[Azwethinkweiz]

I'll do my cuts when I get home tonight.

I didn't do my position changes until this morning so thank god for Striker because GC must not have even checked to see if I did mine. :-P

[GCQuinton]

Won't get to it until later today.

You're last up, so just post when you get to it.

Also, conference realignment is up next. A certain team may or may not be issuing a statement soon...

[Nightz]

Done.

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

Season starts tonight?

[GCQuinton]

Season starts tonight?

We've never started the season the same night as we did an offseason step. C'mon, son.

Won't have time to do the schedules till tomorrow morning, then I'll advance afterwards.

Also...

BREAKING: Rutgers joins the SEC, effective immediately. The Scarlet Knights will play in the SEC East Division and have a protected rivalry with Ole Miss. As a result, Vanderbilt will swap places with Rutgers and head to the Big East. The conference has also lost their BCS bowl bid.

We're officially in the preseason! Take care of all that stuff ASAP because I'm doing schedules tomorrow morning and starting the season right after!

[KanZolo]

So are we in redshirt /depth chart/fill board yet?

edit: nvm...

Welcome to the SEC. May you be corrupted as the rest of us.

[BigAT]

Gentlemen, I would like to thank you for joining me tonight. I'm not here to waste your time, so I'll get right to it. I'm here to announce that Rutgers University will be joining the SEC for football effective for the upcoming 2017 season.

This was not an easy choice, nor was it a choice that was made hastily. The catalyst for this move came when our team last year was wrongfully denied the opportunity they clearly deserved to play for the National Championship. We believe this is a failure of the archaic BCS system we are currently forced to operate under. Unfortunately we do not have the power to change our current system, so we must make whatever changes are under our control to put Rutgers in the best position to succeed. While we have always loved and valued the tradition and camaraderie that has come with playing in the Big East Conference, we believe a move to the SEC will provide Rutgers with the perceived prestige required to operate in this current environment.

[Striker]

Unsure where to go at QB and HB. No player has that proper balance I look for. Probably look at some rotation of some sort. My offensive line will likely take a heavy dip. Gonna miss my boys at OT; I had Culp (93 ovr LT) and Nichols (93 ovr RT) for the past three seasons, and I have not recruited in the event of their absence very well. :\

WTF Owl, six linebackers 90+ -_-

[BigAT]

The Scarlet Knights will play in the SEC East Division and have a protected rivalry with Ole Miss.

WTF Owl, six linebackers 90+ -_-

Is it too late to go back to the Big East?

[KanZolo]

Trollface. Jpg

[Azwethinkweiz]

I only have 6 seniors. There's going to be a lot of cuts next year depending on how many recruits I get.

[KanZolo]

That's how last year was for me.only 7 players left.

This year is a diff story as I have like 6 seniors in LB group alone.

[GCQuinton]

Notes From The Commish: The Countdown to Season Ten, now OFFICIALLY our final one, begins! Since CWS has dropped, everybody in the league now has three games a piece. Aside from that, some of the usual problems we've had (more home vs. away games, consecutive bye weeks) are actually not a problem this season so we're set. Yes, some folks play each other again and I'll no doubt hear somebody (i.e. Az) complain about it, but I've explained how tricky scheduling this stuff is so just roll with it. And if anybody has a right to complain this season about their opponents, it's probably Striker :(. You also might notice that you've got additional "tougher" (i.e. ranked) opponents in the open spots that were available. At this point, we've all got our teams established, so just like at this point in the dynasty last year, with the possible exception of rivalry games, NO EASY GAMES! We finished Season Eight in exactly two weeks and two days, and I don't have any doubts we can keep that pace up, so let's roll! Human Game Schedules For Season Eight: Air Force Pitt Minnesota Army Army Clemson Navy Air Force Clemson Minnesota Army Rutgers Minnesota Navy Clemson Air Force Navy Minnesota Ole Miss Army Ole Miss Pitt Navy Rutgers Pitt Ole Miss Rutgers Air Force Rutgers Pitt Clemson Ole Miss

16 seniors for me this season. And my first three games are Minnesota, Michigan and Ole Miss. x_X

[KanZolo]

Strikers, can you go sometime today?

[Azwethinkweiz]

I'll be watching the Minnesota game to get a scouting report on BPH.

[Nightz]

Tebow improved to 92 THA. :O

[TheDrizzlerJ11]

I suck. Game tried to get me back in that so many times. Miami not running out the clock like the scUM they are and I pick em off for it. My receivers drop so much. Should've ran it on a 4th and 2 at the end. Freshman QB, gonna be a long season. :\

My senior kicker progressed well, he's a beast. 14 mph winds going the opposite direction? 53 yarder no problem.

[Big Papa Husker]

Yay, I don't have to play owl again.

Ditto!

[KanZolo]

I'm not excited to play AT twice a year

[BigAT]

Anyone want to trade human opponents?

[Striker]

Strikers, can you go sometime today?

Yeah, when is good for you? Not looking forward to sending my mediocre OL out against your NFL ready players. :(

[Big Papa Husker]

Nightz, what day will work for you? Tomorrow or Saturday would work better for me.

[KanZolo]

Yeah, when is good for you? Not looking forward to sending my mediocre OL out against your NFL ready players. :(

I'll Be home at 4 so around then?

[Striker]

I'll Be home at 4 so around then?

Should be a bit after. Going to do laundry away from the place but it usually takes a little over an hour.

[Nightz]

Nightz, what day will work for you? Tomorrow or Saturday would work better for me.

I'll be out of town this weekend so tomorrow after work would be best. I should be home around 5 PST.

[KanZolo]

Lemme know when you get back, I'll be around

[Big Papa Husker]

That should work. It might be 8PM Central/6PM PST though. Would that be ok?

[Nightz]

That should work. It might be 8PM Central/6PM PST though. Would that be ok?

No prob. I should be around.

[Striker]

Lemme practice a little Owl, I'm still iffy on my QB. :\

On the recruiting side, got an instant commit from two guys. One a 5* ATH and another 4* Center.

[GCQuinton]

We put up a fight, and was even up at a point, but still fell to USC 27-17. My HBs were dropping like flies it felt like, but oh well.

[Striker]

GG Owl.

SEC speed. :(

The line overall differences were a big mismatch for me. I don't think many, if any at all, are above 80. Constantly in my backfield. Going to be a rough year for that, I can see. McGee was an All-ACC All American, and he had two wide open drops. Three injuries throughout, but none severe. Nothing I could really do.

Those deep bombs to Reid (both on Darrell Cox's side) reminded me of the late 90's of Randall Cunningham just throwing heaves deep to Randy Moss. Embarrassing.

And your KR/HB's speed is unfair!

EDIT: Huh, well my Xbox froze, said the transfer could not be complete, either Disconnect or Abandon Results/Stats. So I restart and now apparently none of my stats saved, but the score still shows. On my screen none of Owl's stats saved either, wtf. Maybe its just me.

[KanZolo]

Gg. Speed is a helluva drug.

[GCQuinton]

Did you guys's game go through? It's not showing up on the site.

[KanZolo]

There was a game recap story in dynasty so I think/hope so

[Striker]

Did you guys's game go through? It's not showing up on the site.

Still isn't showing up? It was for me earlier, but the stats weren't (on the console, but on the web page they are). I have no idea why it says it's March 23rd though lol.

Haven't checked the console yet, but aside from that story here's what I'm seeing on the site:

[GCQuinton]

Looks like it went through on the game.

Minnesota/Navy's last up, so we should be advancing tonight.

[Big Papa Husker]

No prob. I should be around.

I actually should be home by 7 central so we can play at your original time.

[Nightz]

Cool. I'll hop on when I get home.

[Big Papa Husker]

Good game man. Both of our defenses played really well. Your guys were swarming each time Sanchez broke a tackle. Hell, I think I broke 4 or 5 in one play, but it was a 6 yard loss. Good luck the rest of the way.
