Season 2 Bowl Season

[gschwendt]

Bowl Season is upon us. There are two UvU games, deadline is 11/17 or 11/15.

New Orleans Bowl: Louisiana Tech (coachdenz) vs UL Lafayette (texacotea)
Poinsettia Bowl: Troy (JBHuskers) vs TCU
Hawaii Bowl: UTEP (bsktblljk) vs Ball State
Eagle Bank Bowl: Ohio (crazemac) vs Navy
GMAC Bowl: Northern Illinois (Oneback) vs Pittsburgh
Liberty Bowl: Nebraska vs #23 Memphis (Hairydawg)
Papa Johns Bowl: Western Kentucky (psusnoop) vs USF
Fiesta Bowl: #4 Arkansas State (gschwendt) vs #5 Temple (fsuprime)

[gschwendt]

Now that bowl season is here, what is everyone's schedule like for the upcoming week in order for us to knock out the offseason? Obviously the window to start could be as early as Monday night or as late as Wednesday night. Post here if there is a night that works best for you.

[psusnoop]

Monday and Thursday nights are best, Wednesday's after 10pm est also works. Tuesday and Friday nights I work till midnight both days.

[JBHuskers]

Sweet I get a ranked TCU to test the new offense for....probably will play after work tonight.

I'm here all night Sunday, Monday I think I'm going to be out after 9PM, Tuesday I should be here, Wednesday I'm not around at all, Thursday around until 9PM possibly not sure yet.

[gschwendt]

So apparently the game doesn't either Arkansas State to play offense or Temple to play defense. Probably 10 times prime & tried to play and every single time, the game would crash as soon as my offense took the field after a kickoff. The first handful of times, I received a kick and returned it, then we both call a play and as soon as we broke the huddle, bam it's done. So then we tried it where prime took the opening kickoff, his offense took the field and did fine, in fact scored on their opening drive; after the ensuing kick, as soon as my offense breaks the huddle, bam it's done.

We tried all sorts of things from rebooting routers to rebooting PS3s to removing any strange subs on my offense or his defense and even tried changing my offensive playbook... nothing.

Anyone have any experience like this?

[fsuprime]

monday wont be good for me i have tennis at 7 and wont be home until 930ish est, i can stay up late though if monday is the day

[psusnoop]

Boy you have exhausted everything that I know, you have paused the game before picking a kickoff formation right? If not that might work

[HairyDawg]

Memphis is done. Monday and Tuesday is good for me. Wed and Thur I have to work 7pm til 7am.

[fsuprime]

Boy you have exhausted everything that I know, you have paused the game before picking a kickoff formation right? If not that might work

hmm we will have to try this tonight....G tex apparently has left Powerhouse for now :/ so my time frame to try again is just about anytime tonight, the earlier the soberer lol. So just let me know when is good for you and we can try again.

Let's try again at 5 CT/6 ET.

I thought of the pause suggestion as well after we gave up earlier... that and also making sure we completely reset any/all formations subs.

[fsuprime]

sounds good, i dont have any formation subs for temple right now but ill do it just in case.

[Coachdenz]

I can play my game anytime after 8pm besides Saturday night (bama's game)
Same for recruiting

[crazemac]

I can play my game tomorrow when I get home from work. As for off season I work this weekend. Might be off sunday night thou. Other wise monday and tuesday night are best for me. I work wed and thursday night next week and off till monday night.

[fsuprime]

i finally exercise the last second loss to crazemac last year by getting one of my own...down 3 with 35 seconds and 2 timeouts Temple hit a streaking slot receiver running down the field outside of the hash...the safety tries to make a play on the ball but just missed and the wr ran untouched for 70+ yards to win the Fiesta Bowl for Temple 28-24.

In what could be RB Bernard Pierce's final game, the junior RB with pro potential ran for 170 yards on 17 carries and scored 2 big TDs breaking the ankles of the Arkansas State Safeties.

gg G! i thought i was dead in the wter at 10-0 but i got that pick in the 3rd and got some momentum.

[gschwendt]

Great game prime... I can't believe my safety didn't even throw a hand up or anything :/


Also, texacotea has decided that he needs to step down from the OD... he has a new baby and that combined with other things, he doesn't have enough time to commit. We do however have an addition to the dynasty, psuexv will be taking over Toledo who fired their coach after a 5-7 season. With that said, coachdenz, you can now play against the CPU.

As well that means that there are no more user games so the deadline is now set for Monday, 11/15 at 12:33pm CT. Hopefully though we can get games played earlier as it looks like this upcoming week is scattered for most. What does Sunday night look like for everyone? Otherwise it looks like Monday night works well for everyone except that would mean either JB or prime one would miss at least a portion.

[fsuprime]

sunday is great for me.

[gschwendt]

Boy you have exhausted everything that I know, you have paused the game before picking a kickoff formation right? If not that might work
btw, this is what ultimately did the trick... that or fsurprime unplugging his headset (since I didn't have mine plugged up).

[Coachdenz]

I will play
Later tonight

[Coachdenz]

done

[Oneback]

I will play my game tomorrow, I am still in search of a playbook and want to have one in place before I take on a ranked Pitt squad.

[crazemac]

ohio is done. Some how we learned to play D and stop the run against Navy. (thats not easy) and force 6 turnovers to none. Both QB's went down in the first half. I was down to a third string, that is also my starting TE. So the game could have been worse if not for that. Lol

[psusnoop]

I will be playing tonight or during kids nap time today.

[HairyDawg]

I work Sunday 7pm til 7am. I'm available from 2pm til 5pm.

[JBHuskers]

Troy finishes a very successful season with a win over #17 TCU in the Poinsettia Bowl 31-27. A nice turnaround from 4-8 last season to finish 8-5 this season.

[crazemac]

looks like I am working sunday. I work the same as dawg, so if we do it sunday, I can try to be around the same times he said. 2pm to 5pm.

[gschwendt]

What's everyone's availability Sunday afternoon from 2pm ET to 5pm ET? Otherwise it looks like we'll be doing it sometime Monday evening/night.

[Coachdenz]

doubtful if I can make it between 2-5 est, but if this is the best time for everybody go ahead and i can try to make it, I don't want to hold the league up.

[Oneback]

Sunday isn't good for me. We are taking my son to go watch MegaMind then Cowboys game. I still need to play my game but I have atleast settles on a playbook after a search through 40 or so last night/this morning.

[gschwendt]

Alright so Monday night it is... what time is good for everyone to start?

[JeffHCross]

but I have atleast settles on a playbook after a search through 40 or so last night/this morning.Over/under on how quickly he changes? Who's taking bets?

:D :D :D ;)

[JBHuskers]

Alright so Monday night it is... what time is good for everyone to start?

I'm around beginning at 5 central, should be around all night.

[gschwendt]

I'm around beginning at 5 central, should be around all night.
I thought you were leaving at 9pm? If that's no longer the case, then Monday night at 8:30pm CT/9:30pm ET seems like the best window now as it appears everyone says they'll be available then. Let me know if that works for everyone or not.

Yeah I sometimes go to open mic comedy night as some friends will get up there....but I'm going to stay in this week.

[Oneback]

:D :D :D ;)

I've played with UNC's playbool for the last two seasons in Powerhouse. It's tough finding a spread book that has everything I want. If only we had the ability to create our own playbooks it wouldn't be a problem.

[JeffHCross]

I've played with UNC's playbool for the last two seasons in Powerhouse.Revisionist history. You were using North Carolina, then Boston College, then posted you were going to FSU, edited it and stuck with Boston College, then went back to UNC. All in one season ;)

[fsuprime]

OT but i think oneback will like the offense FSU brings out next season in real life. With EJ we run lots of option and crazy PA rollouts and mis direction, it is a lot of fun.

[crazemac]

930 eastern is good with me.

[Coachdenz]

Monday night at 8:30pm CT/9:30pm ET

this works great for me

[gschwendt]

Just waiting on Oneback's game to finish off Season 2.

[fsuprime]

hey G, if we win 2 of 3 courts tomorrow apparently the guys will all go out for a celebration since we would win the tallahassee area and earn a spot in the state playoffs or some shit...anyways if i dont show tomorrow dont worry about it and feel free to advance at will.

*edit* of course hopefully we get to players leaving early tonight some time

[BsktbllJk]

I done...for 2nd time now...had a blowout and game froze...then i barely able to squeak out a win on last second FG

[gschwendt]

Oneback said he'll be playing his game as soon as he can make it home, though he said if he's not home by 8pm CT, then to just sim it. Either way we should be moving to Players Leaving tonight.

[Papa LoneStar]

I thought of the pause suggestion as well after we gave up earlier...

G....ever since our Orange Bowl in powerhouse....I have been doing it for EVERY single user game and I haven't ran into any trouble yet....greatness

[JeffHCross]

G....ever since our Orange Bowl in powerhouse....I have been doing it for EVERY single user game and I haven't ran into any trouble yet....greatnessI was wondering why the hell you pause it every time we play. Was thinking you were doing last minute depth chart or something.
