    Actually it looks like you guys need one more vote so I'll vote yes too. Just to get to the 6 that's needed.

    Actually, you guys still need one more, but I'm sure we're going to get that, so the question now is, how much should we bump it up?

    5, 10, 15? I want input or it's not going to change.

    Well, you're already at 5. I say bump it up to 10. That's what Workers is at. I don't think we should go up more than 10 though. You don't want to end up nerfing the pass rush.

    I would bump up pass block 5, and bump CPU pass rush down 5. To make it USER Pass Block 10, CPU Pass Rush 5. That would be the same as it is in Workers and I think the CPU generated pass rush in that dynasty feels about right.

    Yeah, but the thing about Workers is that the user teams are not as good as they are over here. I say bump up pass blocking to 10 for now but leave pass rush alone. If there continues to be a problem, then lower cpu pass rush to 5. One thing I've found out about tweaking sliders is that you don't wanna make too many adjustments that affect the same area(cpu pass rush in this case) at once. You could over shoot the sweet spot and have to make more adjustments backwards. The teams over here are better overall so the offensive lines are better overall. It could turn out that all that is needed is to raise pass blocking. So I say adjust the pass block, but wait on the cpu pass rush.

    Well, that is true for most of our teams. But Notre Dame is actually worse than Kansas is at the moment lol. But that's all good. We should be quite a bit better next year and I'll start to get the program back on the right track. I suppose we can go up just 5 on PB but I still think they will get too much pressure. I would adjust them to the Wrokers sliders and then bump up CPU pass defense a significant amount, maybe 15 points, to compensate. But we can try incremental adjustments to see how it goes.

    Yeah, I see pass defense is at 40. You can bump that up to 45 but anything higher than that and you start to see CB's running routes before the WR's. With the pass defense being at 40, I say it kinda evens out. No offense jhawk, but you're team is not the best to go by for tweaking sliders, Just like Bama is not the best team to go by for tweaking sliders. You have to get a middle of the road team to go by. It's all good though. What ever Urbs decides to do I'm cool with. I don't know how I got sucked into this. I said I didn't care what changes were made lol.

    Rauloe,
    best thing to do is to check the board as often as possible when you have a user game scheduled. I noticed last night that both of you were online within 7 minutes of each other, so it would have been possible to set up.
    Also, it's good to give everyone a basic schedule for when you'll be available, such as, I would be good between 7-11 p.m. Then you know around what times you should be checking the board or psn.
    A few of us exchange cell phone #'s as well so that we can text when setting up a game. I find this works the best for me and I know more than a few of us have each others numbers.

    Yeah, NYer asked me to give Rauloe his number already.

    OK, now I got a totally unrelated question. I just saw that the Big East is trying to get TCU to join their conference. My question is, does anyone know why the Big 12 isn't trying to get TCU and Boise to join the Big 12 to replace Nebraska and Colorado? It seems like it makes sense geographically which can't be said for TCU going to the Big East. Anyway, I was just curious about that and was wondering if maybe one of you might have any insight. Jhawk this seems like it's your backyard. Do you have any insight?

    As far as the Big 12 getting TCU and Boise, there are two main reasons why it won't happen. #1 Texas rules the conference, and they don't want another Texas school to join the mix. Boise would add another potential contender to the league which could threaten Texas's postseason placement if they have to play in the championship game. While both of these are somewhat important, the main reason is that neither school has that big of a fan base, especially nationwide. It would be two more teams to split the pot with who probably wouldn't provide an equal amount of money or increased exposure to the league. In addition, this way, the winner of the Red River Rivalry has a very good chance to make the NC every year as long as they take care of business. The #2 reason is that Dan Beebe (the Big 12 Commissioner) is a total dumbass and is a puppet of Texas for the most part.

    Yeah, so they're just gonna say fuck it and not try to get anyone? When the ACC poached the Big East, the Big East went and poached conference USA. That's how it usually works, when one team leaves, the conference gets another team to replace them with. Not the Big 12 though. Now I'm kinda wishing Texas A&M would have came to the SEC. TCU and Boise should definitely be in a more prestigious conference. The fan base isn't there because they're in 2nd tier conferences. Move TCU and Boise to the Big 12 and watch how much their fan base grows in 5 years. Oh well, you might be right about the Big 12 commissioner. It does seem like he's a dumbass right now.

    Penn State stuns Ohio St on the road 42-17

    Kevin Newsome's Heisman march will end early as he broke his ribs on an Option Read keeper and is out for 7 weeks. FUCK!!! This was after throwing for over 200 yards, 3 TDs, and 0 INTs in the first 3 Quarters. At least Penn St has 2 capable back ups. Although, Paul Jones came in and threw for 2 INTS and 0 TDs, but was otherwise efficient and ran for 2 TDs.

    TE Mark Wedderburn has really been clicking w/ Newsome, going for 142 yards and 2 TDs...one of which was 75 yards. Freshman phenom Ken Smith once again surpassed 100 yards.

    The game really turned on turn overs. Penn State drove down the field and scored on its first possession, and Ohio St shortly tied the score. Then after 2 INTs, Penn State quickly pulled away scoring 21 unanswered points. The Penn State defense held the OSU running game in check, and forced the new QB to make mistakes.

    Ohio St stuck in there and can damn close to making it a game, but Penn State squeaked out just enough rushing yards to run the clock down.

    GOD damn Kevin Newsome will be missed. He was having a season for the ages.

    And my two cents on the conf expansion, since I have a rooting interest, is that the Big East needs to drop the god damn parochial, bball only schools and have football drive the decisions like it does in every other conference. To have some jack off from Providence running our conference is a fucking joke, and explains the invitation to Villanova...and its 12k seat stadium.

    The only way that makes sense is if we keep on expanding, and they are looking to cover the Philly TV market. I really like the TCU move and hope they follow w/ an invitation to Houston. Fuck geography...the Big East has nothing worth a shit to add in the east, except maybe Central Florida, but again that is only a good move as a means of grabbing that market. Maybe adding them to the mix and adding the Dallas, Houston, Philly, and Orlando markets will help us get a TV network. I'm pretty sure they brought Tagliabue in as a consultant to do just that...or he came up w/ the idea, but either way I like it.

    Whether TCU accepts is another story. And of course we can't have 20 bball schools. So, they need to drop some schools starting w/ Depaul, which isn't worth a squirt of piss.

    So, i played my first game.. The team im playing with was obviously put together by another invidual, but the the game went pretty well, until 2 costly ints. I guess its not all bad, but everyone give me some time to adjust to it and im sure i can bounce back from the loss.. Oh well, keep it moving..


    As for the TCU to the BIG East, i think its a good move for them as well as Boise State. It seems that everyone hawks on the Strength of Scheduling for NON automaticatic qulifiers, so you either schedule better games or you move to the power conference.. And not many schools in the Power Conferences wanna schedule these teams. Its not to mention the fact that some of the DIV II teams getting big wins over the power conferences.. Tell you what, id rather see the moves of teams rather than that Super COnference shit they was talking bout..

    Hova,
    You're last to play....again. I see that you've been on in the last 6 hours which means you've been on since the advance. It's been two days since I've advanced and you haven't played or posted on the board. I'll give you until 8 p.m. tomorrow to play the game or be ready to play the game soon there after. Since you've been last a few times now, and I see you've been online but haven't played, I'm gonna assume that if you've been online since the advance, and 2 days have went by that you haven't played or communicated, that you're ok with me simming your game. Communication is key man. If you let me know something ahead of time, I'd have no problem to continue to wait, but I haven't heard squat. I'm pretty easy about advancing, but you've gotta ocmmunicate or I gotta keep it going.
