CAGCAA - NCAA 09 Dynasty - 2009 Season - Week 19 Week Deadline: 6/7

Sorry for my many restarts, had family issues that caused me to start and stop games. Won't happen again, assuming family doesn't get up in the middle of the night and need anything.
 
That took way too long to get that game in, but good game regardless.

There are still four of you that need to get your games in, so get to it.
 
Been trying to get my game in with DJSteel. If this doesn't work I'm dropping out of the league...this is just taking too long, and I've never had such a hard time getting in a game. Don't really know what else I can do after sending pms and messages on the box.

Sorry man, Want to try for Tuesday? I had a Madden game and I was helping my brother build a deck, so I haven't been around much. My wife might have been on some of those times. Again I apologize.

No worries, I didn't mean to sound mad or anything...just a little frustrated with the league as a whole. Tuesday should work fine. I have class until 9:30 est time, could we set something up after that possibly?

PM me or I'll be in touch or something.
 
holy hell

what week?

The off-season is going to be a bitch....you have to wait on everyone to do one thing at a time...

transfers
cut players
training results
and 5 weeks of recruiting...

Almost in my 4th year on the online dynasty that I started after this one...and its so much better each year!

Yeah it's a real bummer this one is going so SLOWWWWWW. It's hard to get people to play, and quite frankly I've lost all interest in this dynasty. Recruiting??? LOL I don't even do that anymore because I KNOW we are not making it to year 2. I wish I could have gotten in one of you dynasties ace.
 
I really need to get better at this game on harder settings. I think I am going to go through another offline season on the lowest setting and work my way up. I get my ass handed to me too much, especially defensively, but that hopefully will change.

I really hope this league can stay alive. Only been in it one week, but its hard to find active leagues.
 
Sorry guys but I've decided to retire from the league. I've only had two user games so far, one of which the other person couldn't finish because of DRE's. I'm having a hell of a time getting a time to play my game this week. It just seems like people have lost interest in this and at the pace this is going there will never be a second season. I had fun while it lasted though.
 
I'm sorry to see you go, Franky, though I do have one more announcement for bennydc, which is if he doesn't play his game this week, he will be kicked from the league. I guess that opens up two more spots, but I'm hoping that will be it for the drops for the rest of this season. That would mean that we would need at least one of the remaining three spots to be a Big East team if he doesn't play the game. Moonknight, you need to talk to him and see what's up or let me know what's been up with him that he hasn't been playing his games.

I do intend to finish this season despite negativity and doubt from others, so I hope you guys will be sticking around, as well. I've been a bit busy and reluctant to get my games done as soon as I could, but I'm hoping to get back on track to help get these weeks to pass more quickly. I've been a bit more flexible in the week deadline when I've seen an alarming amount of people not playing their games, which is why I'll be posting here everyday to remind you guys to get your games in so that that isn't necessary. And with that, it's time to move to the next week!
 
I'm sticking around, even though I just joined. I think we should restart this if a bunch of people are going to step down. I think there should be some kind of penalty system for those that don't get their games in within a certain amount of days. A warning first, then after a 2nd time removal from the league, unless circumstances prevented being able to play and it was run by the league runner.
 
Week 9 Recap

The biggest game of the week was easily the clash of the super titan Big Ten teams, but the results were not as even as you'd expect with Ohio State dominating Penn State 66-0 as a message to Georgia that they will not be pushed aside so easily. That caused Penn State to drop to the 13th spot, which opened up spots for Florida State to move up to #6, Arizona to #7 from the #15 spot due to their big win over USC, and Boise State to move up to the #8 spot to make the Top 8 teams in the polls the remaining undefeated teams. Will any of them remain by the end of the season? Hopefully because this would be a big mess if that happens. Other than USC's loss dropping them to #15 and a few moves at the bottom of the rankings, things are stable for that middle of the Top 25 pack. We see LSU, Auburn, and Michigan dropping from the polls this week for newcomers like South Florida and Pittsburh along with the return of Cincinnati to the Top 25.

This week's Heisman Watch sees only Knowshon Moreno staying in the same spot as Graham Harrel of Texas Tech moved to the #2 spot to put some pressure on the Georgia halfback and Derrick Williams of Penn State dropped to the #4 spot after a bad game at Ohio State. New to the watch this week is Preston Parker of Florida State at the #3 spot while his QB, Christian Ponder, appears at the #5 spot this week.

The ACC awarded its ACC Offensive Player of the week to Florida State's Christian Ponder who had a big five TD game last week. Indiana's big HB, Marcus Thigpen, managed to grab Big Ten Offensive Player of the Week honors with some great numbers that would be fitting for a WR and HB combo. Ohio State's James Laurinaitis lead the Ohio State defense to a huge shutout and Big Ten Defensive Player of the Week honors with his huge three interceptions. South Florida's Matt Grothe took home the Big East Offensive Player of the Week award with a great seven TD game. Knowshon Moreno had an average game, which is surprisingly better than most other player's best games and was good enough to earn the SEC Offensive Player of the Week award for the fifth time this year.

This week doesn't seem to have the huge blockbuster games that last week had, as both Ohio State and Penn State get the week off to heal their wounds. South Florida gets to defend their first Top 25 appearance against the newly-ranked Cincinnati Bearcats. Michigan State gets their first crack staying above .500 against the ranked Badgets of Wisconsin. Kentucky and Mississippi State face off to see who has the right to be 6-3 and have a conference record of 2-3. Florida State and Clemson look to stay undefeated as they face off at Georgia Tech and Boston College, respectively. Indiana's looking for their fifith win and a record above .500 when they face Central Michigan. LSU tries to get back above .500 and back into the Top 25 as they face lowly Tulane.

This week's schedule:

South Florida (moonknight25) at Cincinnati
Wisconsin at Michigan State (XXXplosive1)
Kentucky (craven fiend) at Mississippi State
Florida State (slickkill7) at Georgia Tech
Pittsburgh (bennydc) at Notre Dame
Northwestern at Indiana (Archsamurai11)
Clemson (Johnacon) at Boston College
Tulane at LSU (DJSteel)
Byes: Ohio State (FriskyTanuki), Penn State (Dandeschain)
 
I love the online league and will be one of the ones who will definatly be around next season and beyond. If a reset is necessary thats cool with me but lets try to get through this season first.

Recruiting is by far the best part of the dynasty...esp if you have 4 or 5 users going after one player...Its quite amazing!!!

And the difficulty is too low in the league...Heisman is the only legit way to play the game...makes users play a legit game most of the times as the defense is so much better!

Good luck with everything. Just wanted to drop in and see how things were going.
 
I am in this league 100%!! I love this game and I'm in 3 other leagues :) Frisky, I love your weekly wrap-ups and the stat/award tracking in this game makes each game special! Btw, I do agree with Ace that next season we should play on Heisman. You would see more losses against the cpu power teams!

And I will never win a game, Mississippi State is handing it to me. I've scored 3 times and they were all on defense, same dude too. One more INT and I should get the achievement for 5. Back to the beatdown.

Edit: Nothing like a 56-28 beatdown to lowly MSU. Time for Georgia to destroy me. I've got to get used to the difficulties of this game, so I can actually be competitive.

LOL, I have no idea when you are online! I sent you xbox live messages as well as PMs on cag that you never responded to. I also posted in this thread that I could go and I just needed you to let me know when you could play by sending a message or something.
 
I was online Monday and Tuesday when we agreed to play. I didn't get anything until AFTER i got offline saying you'd be online at 9:30pm. I guess our schedules never matched up. Too bad. If Franky was going to quit, I should have been able to play against the cpu instead of it being simmed. Just my opinion.
 
No offense, but there's a point where I have to push forward when people aren't playing their games. You had 9 days to play the game and it didn't get done. I could have held off until last night if you had sent me a PM, but you weren't around when I was ready to move on, so I had no choice but to advance the week.
 
DJ, it does suck that your game ended up being simmed. But, if we want to get things moving smoothly, Frisky really needs to be a stickler on advancing on the set dates. I am really enjoying this league, and will definitely stick around. Lets hope we can find some replacements for the people who have left. Would be cool to get some more Big Ten teams in here! Agree with a previous post, I love your weekly updates Frisky. Good stuff!
 
Looks like Johnacon has left and I've kicked bennydc, so we're down to eight teams. The only downside is that we have just one team each left in the ACC and Big East, so we definitely need replacements for those two conferences by the end of the year. I'm thinking unless we get two guys to fill those holes that we'll have to move you guys to other conferences during the off season, or you could join together within a third conference.

Week 10 recap:

We may be leaner, but we're definitely getting meaner as the season nears the climax, the National Championship. Florida did everyone a huge favor by knocking off what was the unstoppable force called Georgia, letting the immovable object called Ohio State take over the #1 spot with #2 Oklahoma now being the runner-up and new title contender while Georgia rests now at the #8 spot. #5 Texas Tech received their first loss of the year to Texas, dropping to the #11 spot. That leaves six remaining undefeated teams this week for those keeping an eye on a potential clusterfuck at year's end. Arizona keeps a great year going as they beat USC, pushing them to the #24 spot and nearly out of the Top 25 for possibly the first time in a long, long time. Texas A&M also suffered a huge drop, from #12 to #21, after being upset by 2-5 Colorado, but they have a shot at Oklahoma this week to rebound. New this week to the Top 25 are Michigan, Auburn, and Tulsa while Wisconsin, Purdue, and Cincinnati make an exit from the big party. Michigan State should note that they are #26, waiting for an invite to the Top 25, which is huge for them after that disasterous start. LSU's right behind them at the #28 slot.

The Heisman Watch is largely the same, with Knowshon staying at the top despite a poor game at Florida, both statistically and because of the loss. Derrick Williams of Penn State dropped off of the watch so that Noel Devine can reappear once more.

Florida State's Myron Rolle took home the ACC Player of the Week honors this week with an amazing 13 tackles, a sack, 2 INTs, and a forced fumble. Indiana swept the Big Ten Player of the Week awards with QB Kellen Lewis and ROLB Will Patterson putting up great stats to help their team beat Central Michigan. LSU's Keiland Williams earned SEC Offensive Player of the Week honors with a great 5 TD performance and nearly 250 total yards of offense.

The great news is that the NCAA Awards are being decided, so we'll have an idea of who is up for what awards this season. Check the OP to see the Top 3 and where your players may stand or boot up the game and see if any others have a long shot at winning. With a quick tally, Ohio State is up for six awards, Florida State for 5 awards, and Georgia and Florida are tied for 4 awards each.

As the season nears its end, the worse teams are looking to secure bowl games while the better ones are aiming for BCS bowls, so with that, we will see who are contenders and who are pretenders during week 11. Wisconsin and Indiana, two teams you wouldn't think would be at the same record at this time of the year are fighting for a bowl spot this week. Penn State looks to rebound and show that they're still contenders for a BCS bowl as they look to beat up on Iowa, who is still looking for their first Big Tenn win. The steam-rolling Spartans of Michigan State are looking to take down the Purdue Boilermakers and reach the Top 25, and Lee Corso thinks they can do it. LSU's looking to get back into the game and take down #18 Alabama to ruin their chances for a big bowl game this winter. Georgia's going to be pumped up this week to rebound after their huge overtime loss to Florida and Kentucky's the unfortunate follow-up act. Ohio State looks to prove that they can handle the #1 spot as they take on Wilbon's Northwestern Wildcats, who managed to break their 3 game losing streak, but may start another with Michigan following Ohio State for sloppy seconds. The biggest game of the week is easily the clash of the ACC titans as #3 Clemson and #4 Florida State get it on to see who's looking in on the National Championship party starting next week. I'm adding a new feature to the recap's schedule, which are the picks that Lee Corso and Kirk Herbstreit make for each game, as a way to see who's a traitor to your cause and who's not. This week seems to be leaning towards the away teams, as at least one of the pair voted for an away team in each game, so it may not be a good week to be the host.

This week's schedule:
Kirk Wisconsin at Indiana (Archsamurai11) Lee
Kirk Lee Penn State (Dandeschain) at Iowa
Kirk Purdue at Michigan State (XXXplosive1) Lee
Lee Alabama at LSU (DJSteel) Kirk
Lee Kirk Georgia at Kentucky (craven fiend)
Lee Kirk Ohio State (FriskyTanuki) at Northwestern
Lee Clemson at Florida State (slickkill7) Kirk

Byes: South Florida (moonknight25)
 
Well looks like I'll get my beat down out of the way today. I'm all for joining another conference in the off season if needed. But whatever works to keep this going.
 
Despite the score, this was my best game of 3. Finally getting used to the CPU and next game should be interesting. That is assuming I don't commit so many TO's. 21 of their 34 were direct results of costly TO's (2 were immediately returned for TDs). So without those TO's, it may have actually been a game.
