From the Bottom

[MikeSensation]

I know we already have 2 NCAA Football 09 Dynasty leagues and right now, I'm involved in one of them, maybe two in the next day or two.

But I think this one could be interesting.

In this one,

You must pick a team ranked 100-120, you know your Idaho Vandals and Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.

The team must be a mid-major team so no Baylor Bears are in this league.

Then we play to see who can become the first team to become the next Boise State Broncos.

So who's in?

I am in. GT:Juiced Machine

How bout you pick the teams and then do a RNG to figure out who each person would control.

[GardnerFTW]

I'd probably be up for it as well. Or perhaps just a list of who those teams are so we can figure out who we have to pick from without to much effort. Or if I get bored at some point today, as it looks like this Tenn/Detroit game is going to make me, I'll try to piece one together.

GardnerFTW

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

I know Gardner and I might have some interest in the Akrons and Kent States... Yeah, sign me up for this if I can get Kent State- I like playing as Kent State because I appear in one of the 4 backgrounds.

Btw, with this one also added in, I'm in 5 online dynasties- 3 for Xbox 360 and 2 for PS3!

[GardnerFTW]

Just started a dynasty with no changes (other than the named roster set), 100-120 are as follows (prestige & overall in brackets):
100) Mid Tenn St
101) UL Monroe
102) Kent State
103) New Mexico
104) Western Michigan
105) Northern Illinois
106) SMU
107) Louisiana Tech
108) San Jose St
109) North Texas
110) Buffalo
111) Temple
112) Arkansas St
113) Eastern Michigan
114) Tulane
115) UL Layfayette
116) Army
117) Idaho
118) FIU
119) Utah State
120) Western Kentucky

Mr T, Akron #94, so I get screwed. Its ok, I'm in an all MAC dynasty already with Akron, so I can go elsewhere.

I'll go with UL Lafayette, unless we do random teams. I've always enjoyed the name Ragin' Cajuns, so I'll ride with them.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Oh well, so much for the Kent-Akron game. You know, I'd be down to play random teams if people would rather go that way.

[GardnerFTW]

The Battle for the Wagon Wheel is huge. I am disappointed to see the Rubber Bowl go though, although the new stadium on campus at Akron looks like its going to be very nice.

Random is fine with me as well, if that's the route we want to go.

[MikeSensation]

I wanted to play as the Idaho Vandals so I could become another WAC team to embark on a mission to make a BCS Bowl Game and tie the game against Oklahoma on a Hook and Ladder play, then beat them with a two point conversion with the Statue of Liberty play.

But I wouldn't mind if we had random teams.

Yeah, the Rubber Bowl was a big part of Akron and a cool stadium. Way better than Dix Field, which isn't even as good as high schools in the area like McKinley or Massillon's stadiums. The Battle for the Wagon Wheel is always a great game, I had to miss it for the 2nd (Maybe even 3rd?) time in a row this year but I'd like to make it to 1 more before I inevitably relocate.

[GardnerFTW]

Good old Dix Stadium. I went there on a recruiting trip in high school. One of my good friends was being recruited by Kent State, so me and another friend tagged along on his recruiting trip. It was quite amazing how little the coaches knew of who they were recruiting. They apparently believed me and the other non-football player were also recruits, of course we never told them otherwise, so we got the same treatment. In the locker room at halftime and pre-game, on the field passes for a game vs. Navy, free food, it was a good day. I pretended to be a kicker for some reason.

From what I gather from my friend it was the worst of him recruiting trips, but I enjoyed it. Best apparently being Syracuse. And with scholarship offers from Kent, Syracuse and one or two other schools, he decided that he didn't want to play football and went to Ohio Northern (D-3) for track.

LOL. You probably could kick for Kent State, that bastard we have now missed a chip shot to lose the Wagon Wheel!

[MikeSensation]

So, so far we have:

MikeSensation
Gardener
Mr. T Jobs to Me
Machinesxe
I Effin Rule
N Zane
GatorBait
And my sister's boyfriend is going to make a gamertag and he will take part in this as well.

[cappyboy]

Man, shame I don't have the game or the capacity to join this. I love this idea and if I could join I would so take SMU. Now that they are a generation or two removed from the "death penalty" and the infractions which caused it, I have something of a soft spot in my heart for them. The whole idea of trying to fight their way back to respectability is something I'd love to play out.

[GatorBait19]

Im in if I can be, and as Army time for them to regain their power, yeah from 60 years ago

[NickC13573]

what system?

[i effin rule]

In. All for random team as well.

[MikeSensation]

what system?

X-Box 360.

[GatorBait19]

can I play?

[MikeSensation]

can I play?

Sure, we can have up to 12 users.

I don't know when or how we're going to do this but each member is going to have a random team assigned to each other.

*Fingers Crossed*

Idaho Vandals
Idaho Vandals
Idaho Vandals

[GatorBait19]

I thought we were going to pick the team but cool, gamertag is Chazz18

[GardnerFTW]

Probably the easiest way would be to use a random number generator
http://www.mathgoodies.com/calculators/random_no_custom.html

Just put together the list of who is in. Go down the list and run the generator, put the lower limit as 0 (Team ranked #100) and upper limit at 20 (Team ranked #120). Hit enter. Whatever number comes up is what ranked team the user gets. Match it to the list I posted earlier. If you get a duplicate number, run it again, or just give the next available team on the list, either or should work.

Either than or put all the team names on a piece of paper and draw out of a hat.

[nZane]

I think I'd be down with this one as well. Gamertag nZanicus.

[machinesxe]

Damn you Nzane....I believe with the amount of Dynastys we are in together I will end up playing you.

[nZane]

Heh, yeah we're bound to play eventually. :D

[MikeSensation]

I was thinking, should we put the difficulty on All-American or on Heisman to just make it that much more of a challenge?

[GardnerFTW]

Personally, I'd say stick with All-American, but I'll play Heisman if that's what the majority wants.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Never played on Heisman. I'd prefer All-American as well. Maybe if we start getting into it and dominating conferences we turn it up then though.

[GatorBait19]

Heisman would be entertainting because you would really see how good you are

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

Heisman would be entertainting because you would really see how good you are

Heh, I think that would be how bad you really are!

[Grudge]

as much as i may regret it I'm down for this too

GT is Theseos

[MikeSensation]

I started doing the RNG.

And to add suspense, I'm going to announce the team assigned to one specific person probably over an hour or two span.

So first up is GardenerFTW

and his team is...

















NORTHERN ILLINOIS!!!

[GardnerFTW]

Not bad, they were actually on my shortlist of teams I was considering before we decided on random. Also to note, its Gardner, not Gardener. I think we've already added each other as friends, so shouldn't be an issue, but just wanted to make sure. :)

[MikeSensation]

Now onto the second pick,

We have Mr.T Jobs to Me

and his team is...














EASTERN MICHIGAN!!!

[MikeSensation]

Machinesxe is our third pick

and his random team is...















BUFFALO!!!

[i effin rule]

I'm definitely interested to see who I land. This should be a fun league.

[GardnerFTW]

Looking like it might as well have been an all-MAC league :)

[GatorBait19]

this is cool how you are doing it

[MikeSensation]

We have now embarked on our fourth pick.

I Effin Rule

Your team is...















UL MONROE!!!

[MikeSensation]

The fifth pick has come and gone.

N Zane

Your team is...















FLORIDA INTERNATIONAL UNIVERSITY!!!

I think that's what they're called but anyways, it's FIU.

[GatorBait19]

is that it? what about me
:(

[GardnerFTW]

I think he's still going. He hasn't done himself yet either.

[MikeSensation]

Gatorbait, your pick is now.

and your team is...















SMU!!!

[cappyboy]

Go Gatorbait. Would love to be in your position. SMU so needs to rises from the death penalty ashes and be a viable program once more.

[nZane]

FIU, huh? Weren't they the ones that got into that lovely brawl with Miami a few years back? Least my guys have some fight in them... :D

[GatorBait19]

Gatorbait, your pick is now.

and your team is...















SMU!!!




NOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!


lol, darn June Jones, I hate him, spec. after what he said about Tebow last year being a system QB and he had one of the biggest system QB, lol but cool

[GatorBait19]

FIU, huh? Weren't they the ones that got into that lovely brawl with Miami a few years back? Least my guys have some fight in them... :D



Yep, helmet swinging fun as hell brawl, WWE couldn't I wrote it up better

[GatorBait19]

Go Gatorbait. Would love to be in your position. SMU so needs to rises from the death penalty ashes and be a viable program once more.


Lol I wanted to do it with Army but yeah, first thing I am doing as SMU new guy, is firing June Jones!

[GatorBait19]

Breaking News from ESPN


http://i109.photobucket.com/albums/n63/zagco/JuneJones.jpg


Less than 5 months after being hired, former Florida Offense Coordinator Chazz Holder was hired as Offensive Coordinator for June Jones, or so he thought, June was told by the SMU athletic director that he was fired, and Chazz has been named Head Coach


Chazz had this to say


"Hey it sucks but, you know what, it is a business!"

[GardnerFTW]

I think the important question is "will you be able to dress as awesome as June Jones?"

[GatorBait19]

Please, I am going to look like Mike Nolan! always dressed up!

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

1/13/08- Eastern Michigan University comes to terms with new head coach
The Eastern Michigan Eagles' search for a coach ended today, as the long-suffering program signed virtual no-name R. Lee Norton.

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t22/earlbreese/coachnorton1.jpg

Norton is a former high school coach whose only brush with national recognition was related to the incident which got him fired from Wheaton High School in Wheaton, Illinois. Norton assaulted one of his own players with a clipboard for running out of bounds, and proceeded to throw him into the gatorade cooler.

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t22/earlbreese/coachnorton4.jpg

http://i156.photobucket.com/albums/t22/earlbreese/coachnorton7.jpg

While Eastern Michigan's decision to hire Norton- who posted a 5-14 record in his 2 years at Wheaton- is questionable at best, Norton has already made a statement regarding his hiring: "I'm going to whip these sons of bitches into shape."

[GatorBait19]

YES! the Bob Knight of High School football is coming to college!


o and it I do the weekly thing on this like SEC, don't expect something huge, just like who won, by how much, and the stats, and maybe one inter.


not sure yet

[MikeSensation]

Now it's the kings turn to have his random team named.

Mike Sensation's team is...
















LOUISANA TECH!!!

[GardnerFTW]

NI Huskies pre-season done.

[nZane]

FIU preseason was done last night, I think.

[MikeSensation]

I completely forgot about this guy:(

Grudge, your team is...















KENT STATE!!!

[MikeSensation]

btw, what is your gamertag Gatorbait?

[GardnerFTW]

he's Chazz18.

[Mr T Jobs To Me]

EMU set to advance.

[i effin rule]

I should be able to get mine done tonight when I get off work.

[i effin rule]

ULM ready to go.

[GardnerFTW]

As I posted in the other in the other dynasty threads, I will be out of town the rest of the week, unexpectedly. I'll be leaving tomorrow or Thursday and will return Sunday or Monday.

[nZane]

So what's going on with this? We've been stuck in the preseason for a few days now...

[MikeSensation]

We're still waiting on Juiced Machine to advance through his preseason, then we can advance to Week 1.

[MikeSensation]

We have finally advanced to Week 1.

Before we start playing our games, I want to have a poll question:

Should we play on All-American or the Heisman difficulty?

I choose Heisman to make it that much of a challenge.

But it's not up to me, it's up to you guys on the settings.

[nZane]

I'm a fan of AA, myself. With us all having bottom tier teams, I think we'll have more than enough challenge on our plates.

[nZane]

The FIU Panthers walk into Norman, Kansas and come within 13 yards of knocking off the 15th ranked Jayhawks. The first half was a defensive struggle, with both teams being unable to move the ball. Kansas went into the half with a 6-0 lead. FIU started the second half with a tremendous clock-sucking drive that ended with a score and a 7-6 lead. It was short-lived however, as Kansas took the ensuing kickoff all the way for the TD, but came up short on the two-point conversion to reclaim the lead at 12-7. Defense came up strong again until late in the fourth quarter. Kansas was on the verge of putting the game away, but an amazing INT at the FIU 10 yard line gave the Panthers a last shot. With no timeouts left, FIU drove all the way down to the KU 13 yard line. With four seconds left, Wayne Younger drops back and has a man open in the endzone. But a tremendous swat by the Jayhawks seal the deal and ruins the Panthers hopes. Still, Florida International can walk away from this game knowing that they were THAT close to pulling this off!

*le sigh*

[i effin rule]

I'd say AA as well. I say if it starts getting too easy we can then switch.

[GatorBait19]

I think we should start AA and if it seems to easy for us we can move up

[i effin rule]

What a way to start the year. #16 Auburn falls victim to an early season upset as Louisiana-Monroe roles into Jordan-Hare Stadium and defeats the Tigers 48-41. Senior QB, Steve Barron, led his Warhawks on a game winning drive in the last minute of the game. Barron threw his final of 3 TD's to DJ Collins to clinch the game.

It was an up and down game for Barron, who threw 3 INT's to match his TD's. But overall a stellar performance against a BCS School. Barrow went 36 of 50 for 429 yards in the season opener.

[Grudge]

o wow your qb's last name is barron? that's my last name lol!

[GardnerFTW]

Northern Illinois pitches a shutout at Minnesota with a 24-0 win over the Gophers.

[i effin rule]

I think we are good to go.

[i effin rule]

ULM continues on its SEC Tour De Force, upsetting Arkansas in Fayetteville. Barron (1 Passing TD, 2 Rushing TD's, and 2 INT's) wasn't the big star this week however, that accolade goes to the Warhawks Defense and Special Teams. Cornerback Lamar Hines ran back a Kickoff following the Razorback's first score. He followed up that performance by picking off Kendall Poland on the next drive. Hines wasn't the only power player on D as Senior Defensive End Kyle Hill racked up 3 of the Hawks 7 Sacks on the day. Final score, ULM 31, Ark 18.

Next week the Warhawks have their home opener against a Playoff Subdivision team.

[MikeSensation]

What a game, what a game.

A showdown in Kansas was one nobody wanted to miss.

The battle between Kansas and Louisana Tech.

The game was tight in the first quarter tied at 3.

Then two costly turnovers by Tech led to two Kansas touchdowns before halftime making the score 17-3.

Tech got the ball back and marched down the field and a 12-yard touchdown pass to Pitt made the score 17-10.

Kansas answered immediately and a 39-yard pass to one of their recievers made the score 24-10.

On the ensuing kickoff, Spence ran the ball 86 yards down the field ending the 3rd period 24-17.

The heat picked up in the fourth quarter.

We go to the fourth quarter, Tech has the ball at their own 27 yard line with 3:23 left in the game. With precision passing, Tech marched the field eating up the clock. However, with 59 seconds left, we plowed into the endzone tying the score at 24-24 but did we score too late?

Unfortunately, we did.

Kansas went down to our 37-yard field goal but their drive stalled. With 10 seconds left in the game, their kicker, who missed two straight kicks of 28 and 31 dug deep and somehow drilled a 54-yard field goal to give Kansas a 27-24 lead with only 7 seconds left.

The game was over.

But wait, NO IT WASN'T!!!

Louisana Tech standout Wide Reciever Byers caught the ball at his own 12-yard line and the rest was history. With tremendous blocking and elusiveness, Byers ran the field for a touchdown with no time left on the clock.

Louisana Tech 31
#14 Kansas 27

[i effin rule]

I only just now realized that we aren't playing with the real named rosters. I was looking up to see how some of my players did in the real world only to find that none of the names were right.

[MikeSensation]

I noticed this a couple of days ago when I went to the Heisman watch and saw Alex Zane as the QB for the Gators.

I don't know how to generate real names for us, it generated for me and at first, I thought we were getting their real names but I guess not.

You have to download a file. Under the Locker Room section I think, you can type in the name of someone you want to download the rosters from. Type in pastapadre and you'll download the rosters.

if you go to that link and you are in an NCAA 2009 football dynasty there is a part where it says track your online dynasty, type in the comm. name and the platform and it will show you everything, that way so you do not have to log on every time to check

[i effin rule]

Hey Mike, try and let us know when you advance a week. I had no idea the new games were up.

[Grudge]

if your waiting on me for anything you can set me on auto pilot for now, I've been real busy and just haven't really felt like playing. I still want to b in the league and will jump back in soon I'm sure but until then don't wait on me, just set me to auto pilot plz, ty and I'm sry if I held anyone up

[MikeSensation]

Sorry it's taken this long to finally advance a week.

My nephews came over last week when I wasn't home and started playing my NCAA FB game.

They're only 5 and 3 so they were a bit careless and left my home on the ground and allowed my 1 year old niece to step on it and left heavy stratches.

I tried to get it fixed at the Game Crazy down the street but they couldn't so I just bought a new game. So I'm back up and running in every dynasty I am currently in.

[GatorBait19]

It seems as if everyone has really slowed down with these so my idea is to take a two week vacation and Jan. 16 start back up, maybe that could give everyone enough time to recharge and get back into this, and if people still want to play I am going to keep top dog active and will keep playing if people continue theirs, I was just giving a suggestion

[i effin rule]

I think this has been advanced.

[Grudge]

I'm trimming down my list of online dyno's to two, the one I have and Gatorbait's this is mostly because I don't really have enough time to play all these games and by isolating my attention I should be able to "keep up" with them. But only as vandy and florida :)
