Conference: Big Ten
Caliber: 2-Stars
Location: Lincoln, NE

Background
In 2010, the University of Nebraska at Kearney and Omaha decided to combine schools and move up to D-I to from Nebraska Tech. Nebraska Tech joined the Big Ten with Nebraska when Indiana left the conference for the Big XII, and Northwestern was moved out to the MAC to also make room. This gives Lincoln, Nebraska two D-I schools; but with being in the same conference, they would easily be able to co-exist and form a natural rivalry.

Really like the color scheme man. Looking forward to many Nebraska vs Nebraska Tech rivalry games.

You switching Nebraska Tech with someone that has an actual rivalry tie in with Nebraska so it marks it as a rivalry in game?

It would have to be Colorado, since the game only takes the primary rival and counts it as such.

Yeah. I was REALLY hoping they'd let us set them in Teambuilder or something or at least carry over ALL of them instead of just one of them, but, unfortunately, they didn't.

I'm actually moving Nebraska into the Big Ten with Nebraska Tech. Moving Northwestern to the MAC replacing Eastern Washington. Moving Indiana to the Big XII. Not sure I will get it to work with the rivalry.....but I'll be playing them every year anyways, so for message board sake, I will be making it a rivalry....maybe inventing a trophy too.

I like the uniforms, but the lightening bolt on the helmet doesn't stand out very much. What if you put a thicker yellow border on it?

Part of the problem is the logo doesn't stretch too far on the helmet. Had that problem last year too with logos. Will see how it looks in-game too.

From a rendering standpoint, I can see why they make all helmet logos one size, but it sure would be nice to have control over that (among myriad other things, but that's for a different thread).

Could I suggest perhaps a different lightening logo? The one you're using is fine and all, but it is kind of small and, well, used. Just a suggestion.

The size is something I can't help because of the limitations on TeamBuilder. I like it better than a vertical bolt after trying a few out. It's been used, but it's a different color scheme altogether.

I like the new unis, makes them look less like USC. Of course, I've always been partial to white helmets. That, and they look suspiciously like another Nebraska school... ;)

JeffHCross

Still hideous ;)

Honestly JB, part of it is that the inside of the numbers (and NT logo) is the same color. Though the white pants certainly help.

I think that the closeness is what throws this off. I would not have the NT on the jersey above the numbers. I think that the NT on the pants and the lightning bolt on the collar is plenty. But the jersey is overkill. Other than that, I think it looks kinda sharp now with the white helmets and pants

JBHuskers
07-03-2010, 12:00 PM
Thanks for the feedback! I like the NT, maybe I'll try moving it to the shoulder.

Since I'm running the Pistol, I will match Nevada's roster.

Just downloaded my team, got into a game, and the lightning bolt is much bigger in game...it looks NICE, will do a video of an exhibition of Nebraska and Nebraska Tech and have it ready to post when the embargo lifts on Friday.

One more jersey update...the red numbers were hard to read in-game...made them gold

I will get this dynasty going sometime around release as I'm going to do it online I think with Dynasty Wire. Not sure how many more times they will flush out online as they get ready for release, so that is why I will wait.

Like the new white numbers on the jersey. Makes it pop a lot more now.

Jayrah
07-03-2010, 07:44 PM
May I suggest 2 things to try with the aways? Something to differ from ISU a little. Not sure how many options you have with the colors of logos because for some reason my flash player isn't loading properly from the cpu I'm using. Just some ideas, and not necessarily ALL at the same time, just 3 separate ideas with any combination

1. Alternate Helmet logo: Red Bolt outline, white fill, no yellow.
2. Away jersey: No Yellow on the NT. (Could try Red outline w/ white fill OR solid red fill and no outline).
3. Alternate red pants: NT w/ white fill (easier to see than yellow.

JB you are correct. After watching your Nebraska Tech video, the uniforms definitely look sweet in game.

Thanks bro!

I thought the problem of logos on the helmets from last year was going to carry over after seeing it on the website, but then going in game, they look nice! Also awesome to see people in the crowd wearing Nebraska Tech swag during the entrances.

Yes it did, def made the decision for me as to if I was going to use a teambuilder team in a dynasty or noe-

BTW...better get your QB back on the practice field...he missed a ton of reads in that game. :D

Yeah I really fubar'd one of the reads and ran right into three defenders LOL I need to work on that.

Dynasty will start up once rosters are done, and once I purchase multiple hosting slots.

Yeah that was a really nice touch that I wasn't expecting at all. That is definitely going to make Teambuilder dynasties seem a lot more realistic.

Truthfully, at this point, even with Dynasty Wire, it's really not too fun. Their limitations on what you can do with the story (only pictures/videos you can use are from your games) pretty much make it pointless and look kinda shitty...

JBHuskers
07-18-2010, 05:56 PM
So I'm having trouble uploading any changes to the dynasty to the server. It looks like it's a TeamBuilder specific error as I tried an OD with Nebraska, and was able to do it fine. Until that's fixed I can't do much. I really wanna do this online rather than off.

Alright the time is here! I will be getting a few games in this weekend. I'm not going to do VERY detailed game-by-game, but will keep tabs on recruits, how I'm doing, and any news that may pop up throughout the season. I figure if I do more of a season highlight type of deal, I'll be able to get more games in towards the season.

I wish the full replay was available and I would have shown you.....it seemed like all 11 men crashed to my right....I cut it back, got a couple of blocks and was off.....and this was the first play EVER for Nebraska Tech!
