A&M puts up a good fight against the Nittany Lions, but a late first half gift interception, followed by a fluke quick score, gave the Lions a two TD advantage going into halftime. That was too much for the Aggies to overcome, falling 34-21. The Nittany Lion defense put forth an extremely good effort today, stopping the Aggies just when it seemed like momentum was on their side, and closing holes that appeared wide open.

Great game, Snoop. Sorry our chat didn't work as well as usual, but it was still good to talk with you.

FSU defeat Miami 47-32. 3 interceptions by Miami and 0 turnovers for FSU along with a KO return for a TD were the key plays in the game. GG Prime. It seems like I can never get any breaks against you. I force a punt on the first possession, and some how the ball only bounces forward a few yards to stick at the 1. First play after that, my starting HB gets knocked out for 2 quarters. Next play, safety. Later I score a TD to cut it to like 6 I think, and you return the kickoff for a TD. It also doesn't help my secondary is absolutely terrible. When I was in position for a pick, they would just drop it. Oh well, I don't think I will see you in the ACCCG this year as I already have 2 conference losses and Singer only plays me again this season. GL the rest of the season.

gg ryby, had to get off quick last night or I would have posted a recap here...yea it seemed liked you were in zone any time i went with more than 2 WRs so with your bad secondary I felt like I could really use my TE to find the soft spots and once your RB was down I just had to watch out for flag routes and I was able to get a comfortable lead. Downing still puts it on the money though and will be back next season which I wont look forward to.

OSU Rally's late, falls one poor pass (INT'd) short of comeback. The playmakers on offense all got to show off their skills in what looked early to be a runaway by the Hokies. Booth, Hardy, and Covington all played their roles to help VT put down the Buckeyes.
OSU's defense played well as a whole least 2 long drives by the Hokies. Most of the scores were off of huge plays in both the passing and running game. The one blemish for the Hokies was their FG's. Pope was only 1 of four with his leg in what remains a terrible performance this year for the seasoned kicker.

Since the Season opener loss against Kentucky, the Hokies have seemed suspect at times against what many consider to be much lesser competition than they faced today, but today all cylinders were firing and they will carry some much needed momentum into next week.

Found another PS3 user reporting the same problem in two of his dynasties on the EA forum. I don't think it's just us, and I don't necessarily think that re-load will fix it. I would encourage us to be patient, and maybe have cdj/G try to get ahold of EA to look at it. I'm pretty sure if we re-load we're going to have to replay all of our games, and that will probably take longer than just being patient for one day or night.

FWIW, I was able to advance my test dynasty.

There are 3 pages worth of people saying they can't advance their dynasty on EA's forums (though some of those are inexplicable double posts), so it's definitely not just us. There was one user that said that they had tried removing users, retiring the dynasty, all the usual tricks, and nothing's working. So I think we are going to be forced to be patient and wait it out.

From my personal standpoint of being in a similar spot at my work -- yeah, that's pretty much all you're going to hear until I have the fix in place.

Knoxville, TN (Sports Network) - The University of Tennessee has received a notice of allegations from the NCAA in regard to violations within the men's basketball and football programs.

Basketball allegations include impermissible phone calls to potential recruits and impermissible contact from head coach Bruce Pearl to prospective student- athletes. Pearl was also charged with a failure to promote an atmosphere of compliance and failure to monitor the activities regarding compliance of all assistant coaches within the men's basketball program.

The football allegations all came under the watch of former head coach Lane Kiffin, who left after one season and is now the coach at Southern California. The NCAA alleges that Kiffin also failed to promote an atmosphere of compliance and failed to monitor the activities regarding compliance of several assistant coaches, while the staff also made impermissible phone contact with prospective student-athletes.

"Our institution has operated in complete cooperation with the NCAA since April 2009 as they have pursued their investigation," said Tennessee athletic director Mike Hamilton in a statement. "We take these allegations seriously and most items noted in this document have already been reported broadly."

The school has a deadline of May 21 to submit a response to the NCAA and will likely appear before the Committee on Infractions from June 10-11.

Pearl has already served an eight-game suspension from the SEC in regard to his role in the process.

"Throughout this process, we have recognized that we made significant mistakes and we look forward to concluding this matter with the NCAA," Pearl said in a statement issued by the school Wednesday. "The penalties imposed on our program to date have been severe, but I want to commend our student-athletes and staff for staying focused and working through these potential distractions."

The Volunteers are coming off a 60-51 victory over Vanderbilt on Tuesday, improving to 17-11 overall and 7-6 in SEC play.

While impermissible phone calls to recruits were at the center of the NCAA's probe, Pearl also misled investigators when asked about certain photos of him with recruit Aaron Craft. The Knoxville News Sentinel reported that Pearl had improperly hosted the prospect at his home two years ago.

In September, as a result of the investigation, the university announced a reduction in pay for Pearl and a suspension of off-campus recruiting for a year. Hamilton said Pearl's compensation would be reduced 25 percent from $2 million to $1.5 million.

I just read something that was posted recently that said the Death Penalty looms over Alabama and that they are already on probation until 2012. Strangely, this is the first I have heard of it.


Alabama: NCAA Death Penalty Looms For "Unmatched Recent Violation History"
By
Max C Sconyers Jr
(Correspondent) on February 24, 2011 - Auburn

BATON ROUGE, LA - NOVEMBER 06: Head coach Nick Saban of the Alabama Crimson Tide reacts to a play during the game against the Louisiana State University Tigers at Tiger Stadium on November 6, 2010 in Baton Rouge, Louisiana. The Tigers defeated the Crimson Tide 24-21. (Photo by Chris Graythen/Getty Images) Why are they picking on me?
Chris Graythen/Getty Images

There is one thing that brings even more fear to the Crimson Tide faithful than a 24-point lead at home over Auburn—the NCAA.

The Death Penalty is openly discussed as a possibility for “flagrant and willful” violators.

The NCAA Committee on Infractions released a statement last year calling the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa the following:

A "serial repeat violator," with an "abysmal infractions track record" and an "extensive recent history of infractions cases unmatched by any other member institution in the NCAA.”

Wow. Back on top again after all these years.

Pretty tough words for our in-state brethren. Hopefully they said “Yes, Mama” and went home to clean house.

This was written in response to the school's textbook probation appeal (which was summarily denied).

This is the school's most recent major NCAA rules violation. It has landed the University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa (UAT) a three-year probation that will last through June 10, 2012, their second major NCAA violation in less than 10 years.
107974629_crop_340x234 Rumors are rampant Coach Saban's action may result in the Death Penalty at Alabama.
Ronald Martinez/Getty Images

The University of Alabama-Tuscaloosa is actually one of 11 institutions that have had two major infractions cases during the past decade: Ball State, Fresno State, Florida International, TCU, Alabama-Tuscaloosa, Arkansas, Colorado, Michigan, Oklahoma, Southern California and Washington are the others.

This looming Death Penalty may explain the recent sense of desperation in their public denial of blatantly obvious violations. This would also explain their screaming foul and waving their arms as the recent trend of losses to in-state rival Auburn continued this past season with a stunning loss of a 24-point lead, at home, that ultimately led to their third conference loss of the year, finishing in fourth place in the SEC Western Division and having a double-digit final national ranking.

Big brother’s been getting spanked by everybody, no wonder he’s been so bad lately.

There were (allegedly) recruiting violations with current high school junior, Barry Sanders, Jr. He was seen at a recent home basketball game seated with his dad, Barry Sanders Sr. (NFL Hall of Famer) and coach Nick Saban sitting right between them. Sure, it’s conceivable they got their tickets from the same scalper. "Hey, Barry, what’s up!? Great seats, huh? Oh really, your son plays football? How nice."

I probably could have gotten two seats together.

Now, I know this is big-time college football, right? Everybody does it, come on! Well, let me make a correction—almost everyone does it. At least those in the student-athlete population at Alabama, anyway.

(but as i have said, with PSU's lackluster recruiting and hopefully the rest of the staff's respect for joe pa i doubt they are in trouble)

as far as reports, rc my whole point is this is not in the press yet, some radio hosts have mentioned it in passing but apparently some large news organizations are dotting the i's and crossing the t's on their investigation as we speak and it will be released in a week or so

There is a major news outlet that is on the verge of publishing a report that will blow the lid off a major D-I program, and not a school many would suspect................

They are inches away from having all they need to go on it. I would expect something before summer and it will be a bombshell, with names-dates-amounts.

This won't be a message board blog, but rather, a huge news story. But to publish something like that, you better have your facts right. I think they've got it...............

I wasn't saying anything about UF not being guilty of anything. I was just asking the question. I was watching the game and saw the play where he twisted the guys foot after the play. It was just subject matter to the current topic. FWIW, during the spurrier years, I routed for FSU in the UF FSU annual matchup. Spurriers departure, the coming of Tebow, and that particular play is the only reason I went back to favoring the SEC team.

If you do, reload with the name APowerhouse (or something that starts with a letter between A & E). That's the latest hypothesis that TraditionFootball came up with... ODs that start with letters in the latter part of the alphabet are the ones that are causing the problem. It holds some water as Powerhouse & SBCOL are failing whereas GamingTailgatePS3OD1 is working (as is MidTier).

I recreated SBCOL as aSBCOL and was able to advance to the next week... looks like TF's theory does seem to hold water.

I recreated SBCOL as zSBCOL and it advanced fine so it's not exactly as their hypothesis indicated but if nothing else, at least we're able to advance.

Oneback,
My only fear is that when you reload we will lose all the current Week 4 results -- replay all those games and recruiting -- and then be stuck at the same point.

EDIT: Only possible workaround I've thought of is to delete your offline save, re-download the dynasty, and then maybe (just maybe) the save file will have this week's results in it. I'm gonna try to test that real quick.

Update?I've been working on it since then, lol. Lots of weird stuff going on.

The short version of the story is that I took a perfectly working OD, retired, reloaded, and I can't even get it to actually reload to the server and allow me to attempt to advance. I'm getting Transfer Failed on upload, during the step "Finalizing Dynasty Update", which is the exact same place that the dynasty is failing to advance for Oneback, Tommy, and the others having the issue.

I would not advocate attempting to reload.

Oneback,
I just posted this on EA's forums. I've since had another guy follow up and say that he's seeing something similar. It might be worth a try. If you need to bump someone from the dynasty, go ahead and bump me.


UTVOL54, I hope you see this ...

You said that you used your brother's name as the second commisioner when you retired the dynasty and reloaded. Was your brother previously a member of the dynasty? I am beginning to think that may be the difference between your experience (the reload succeeded) and mine.

I just tried two different tests. In both cases the dynasty was working before I retired and reloaded.

Test 1:
1. Simmed my Week 1 game and did some light recruiting.
2. Exited the dynasty, re-opened, chose to Save File (in theory, this would save a copy of the dynasty with my results preserved).
3. Exited, retired the dynasty.
4. As UTVOL said, go to File Management, Load & Delete, and load the dynasty.
5. The new dynasty failed to create, failing during "Finalizing Dynasty Update" and returing "Transfer Failed". That's consistent with the problem everyone's having.

Test 2:
1. Created another test dynasty, this time saving the file as soon as I advanced to Week 1.
2. Did not play any games or do any recruiting.
3. Exited, retired the dynasty.
4. Loaded the dynasty from File Management.
5. This new dynasty succeeded and I was able to advance on to Week 2 after creation.

Right now I'm thinking that UTVOL's success may have been because his brother's PSN didn't have any recruiting or game results, and that's why it was able to reload. Unfortunately, beyond what I've already done it's nearly impossible for me to test it because I only have so many PSN accounts.

One upside is that when you create the second dynasty under a different PSN name, you shouldn't have to retire the original dynasty. That way you can sanity check the "new" dynasty before retiring Powerhouse3. Like check for saved results and the like.

STUNNER IN COLLEGE STATION

Texas A&M takes advantage of its mulligan against Penn State, stunning the #5 ranked Nittany Lions in College Station.

After the game, Coach JeffHCross had this to say: "Man, I wish we'd brought some recruits in for this one. Amazing, amazing game."

Thanks to some early breaks and a solid clock-eating offense, the Aggies racked up a 17-3 lead going into halftime, dominating both time of possession and yardage. But the Nittany Lions, in a shocking move, went to their backup quarterback. On his first pass, he threw 29 yards, between two A&M safeties, on a perfect fade route.

"It was then that I knew they weren't going away quietly," JeffHCross said afterward. "That pass completely changed the attitude of our defense."

In the third quarter alone, Penn State was able to erase the deficit, and had held the A&M offense relatively stagnant. But on the second play of the ensuing Aggie drive, quarterback Patrick Melton connected with TE Andrew Williams for 49 yards, which brought the swagger back to Kyle Field. Within seconds, the Yell Leaders and 12th Man were back in the game, and six plays later halfback Justin Love barreled into the end zone.

The Lions would tie it up again, following a wonderful mix of passing and throwing. Two minutes later, Love slashed through a gaping hole in the Penn State defense and ran for a 34-yard score.

The following 2:47 was nerve-racking for every fan, Texas A&M and Penn State alike. The Lions were able to garner entry in the Aggie red zone with :44 remaining, but three consecutive incompletions left them with 4th and 10 from the 18. The Penn State staff gambled with a deep pass, but Senior FS Andy Merritt stepped in the way and deflected the ball to the turf, giving the Aggies the victory.

In an impressive performance by the once beaten Va Tech, they snuff the Buckeyes 34 - 17.
The teams exchanged visits to the end zone to begin the game but after a fumble on a punt return and an interception on two consecutive drives, the Hokies took control and never let up. Va Tech put points on the board in every quarter while the Buckeyes struggle in the 2nd and 3rd.

Unfortunately I can't check through the Dynasty Wire, because it still lists some guys as CPU even though I know they've rejoined. Perhaps those were the ones that were automatically brought over.

EDIT: There are only 5 game stories posted for this week, that suggests that all of the following remain:
Oklahoma
Clemson
Florida State vs Miami
Oregon
USC

That list also looks distinctly similar to the list of teams that still show CPU.

Yep, this sounds right. I think ryby was one of the handful of guys that were in the Dynasty as soon as I created it. Thought about deleting everyone, and I probably should have, but didn't want to cause another issue by doing that. Ryby, Papa, FSU, and Escobar come to mind as being in the dynasty when I created it. They should probably all leave it once we advance to Week 5, otherwise they're not going to be able to use the Dynasty Wire or do stuff like Ready to Advance / Auto-Pilot.
