Alright, as Coach Kernzy works on and finishes up the OD Roster later on, what is the official Alma Mater for everyone so we can get those added to the roster as well?

For myself, my Alma Mater is going to be :Navy:.

Well I can't really decide yet. If we're not doing any restrictions I am going to choose one of the better teams but I would like to wait and decide when I have the full game. Reason being I like recruiting so the school I choose to where I ultimately would like to end up will be decided on the school's recruiting topics ratings. I don't have a favorite team so I usually just choose what looks good to me. I have to wait until I get a copy in my hands to see each schools recruiting topic scores and what not. I have some teams in mind though just want to compare them.

[JBHuskers]

Edited my :Washington_State: logo :) state is spelled out on that icon.

What is the plan for Alma Maters....you having a rule for it?

If no rules...just make mine :Nebraska: since I went there :D

If no rules...just make mine :Nebraska: since I went there :DYeah there's no restrictions.

[SmoothPancakes]

Yeah, I just don't see any point in restrictions. Besides the stuff that was already talked about at length between a couple of us in the original thread, hardly anyone is going for a yearly BCS championship contending school. I'm going for Navy. Mors has mentioned West Virginia. Hawkfan mentioned Iowa. This isn't some random run of the mill dynasty where everyone is trying to take over Alabama, Oregon, Auburn, Florida, Ohio State, Texas, and Oklahoma, so I see absolutely no reason to restrict who people can make as their Alma Mater.

[HawkFan]

Put my alma mater down as Iowa as I went there. But theres no way I will ever coach there.

You treat it like how I treat the Vikings huh? I can't play with them cuz it frustrates me to see them play so much unlike IRL. Especially when we had the #1 rush defense behind Pat and Kevin for that three year stretch and then on Madden it was like I couldn't stop a second string runningback to save my life. -_-

Yep I have done an Iowa dynasty once, and it resulted in a hole in the wall from a thrown controller and my wife not speaking to me for three days. Not going down that road again.

[Coach Kernzy]

Yeah this whole alma mater thing is tough for me as well. Didn't ever go to any actual university but I've gone to school close to Kansas and Arizona St. But on the other hand some of my earliest memories of really following college ball were watching two of my favorite players, Barry Sanders at OK St and Deion Sanders at Florida St.
Probably pick one of those 4 but don't know for sure.

[Underdog]

My Alma mater is Mississippi State. I actually open the saeson against my alma mater. Ouch.

[morsdraconis]

My Alma Mater is WVU.

Probably pick one of those 4 but don't know for sure.I never watched much college football, and don't really now either, but I like Oklahoma State. I've read up on them and Barry Sanders days there and I like their logo and colors. They also seem to be producing a lot of NFL talent lately which is really the extent of my College Football coverage IRL.
Florida State is also a great school with some great traditions and a long history of producing NFL talent. I played a dynasty as them a couple weeks back after my team drafted Christian Ponder and I enjoyed it. Good recruiting but not too OP.
I like Arizona States looks and colors but I've never played as them. I did play as Arizona last year though in one of my OD's.
Can't really say much about Kansas other than I don't know much about them. I like the colors though.

As for me I'm considering like 6 or so team right now... Maryland, Oregon, Wisconsin, TCU, Michigan, Virginia Tech, and a few others but I'll definitely decide before we get it started.


My Alma Mater is WVU.
It would be interesting if I chose Maryland as my Alma Mater and we both made it to our schools. They have a rivalry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_%E2%80%93_West_Virginia_football_rivalry) .

[Coach Kernzy]

I'm going to go with my favorite player of all time from my home state, Barry Sanders from Wichita, KS and claim 4* Oklahoma St as my alma mater. Plus I played as Ok St in one of my old 06-07 xbox dynasties back when they had Tatum Bell at HB and Aso Pogi at QB. I can't believe I still remember that name but damn how can you forget it. Good times.

[Coach Kernzy]

I have now made all the owner names links to their profile page here at TGT in the table above.

[Coach Kernzy]

I've sent PMs to the remaining guys that haven't picked their alma maters.

Also if I don't hear back from Cody soon we'll be down to 11 with one spot open because right now he's just taking up space and not seeming to be very interested and hasn't made but his 1 initial post expressing interest.

[Cipher 8]

I have a friend that I had sign up for this site, he posted in my Coach Mode dynasty thread. If Cody is out and nobody else expresses interest I'm sure he would join. He's more of a Madden player but I'm getting him into NCAA this year and he likes strategy games and plays a lot of them so he'll enjoy a Coach Mode only dynasty. He's going to :UCF: so that'll probably be his Alma Mater.

[AustinWolv]

My alma mater is Michigan.

[Coach Kernzy]

Guy I should have been able to figure that out :)

[morsdraconis]

It would be interesting if I chose Maryland as my Alma Mater and we both made it to our schools. They have a rivalry (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Maryland_%E2%80%93_West_Virginia_football_rivalry) .

Choosing Pittsburgh or Virginia Tech would be better if you wanted a Rivalry. ;) Va Tech is almost as hated as Pittsburgh is.

[jmiles562000]

My alma mater is LSU

[Cipher 8]

Choosing Pittsburgh or Virginia Tech would be better if you wanted a Rivalry. ;) Va Tech is almost as hated as Pittsburgh is.

To be honest both are schools I was considering. I wanted to try a dynasty with Pitt last year but never got around to it and I've done one with VT before, love their entrance. I'll think about it.

[Coach Kernzy]

Since Cody hasn't ever responded to several PM attempts and he hasn't even been on the forums in almost a week I've replaced him with Archedemius (http://www.thegamingtailgate.com/forums/member.php?4082-Archedemius)

[HawkFan]

Sounds great, welcome Archedemius.

[Archedemius]

Thanks for the invite guys! Can't wait to get this thing going. I have the worst possible team in the game so this should be interesting.

[morsdraconis]

Works for me. I want people that are going to be around and playing. Not guys that are MIA for several days/weeks at a time.

[Coach Kernzy]

Exactly mors and let that be a reminder to everyone that we are a dedicated, active core group here and anyone that just goes MIA without letting someone know will get replaced.
We are casually paced but we still want to be active here on the forums and in the game to keep things moving but we all understand things come up and life happens. This is just a game and we will treat it as such but be respectful of your fellow owners and let us know if you are going to be away for awhile or whatever the case may be.

[Cipher 8]

You don't have to worry about me not being active. The only way I will be is if I lose interest and before that I'de let you all know I'm leaving but I think this is going to be my favorite dynasty so if we can keep it active and fair I'll definitely be here until the end.

[EatEmUp]

If you guys would be so kind to tack me on to the end of the waiting list, it would be much appreciated. I've already lost the ol' list of 1* schools, so I guess we can cross that bridge when we come to it. If / when something opens up, my alma mater would be Houston.

Thanks and let me know!

We'll get you on. Welcome to the site!

[Coach Kernzy]

Got you added EatEmUp, you're probably next in line if we lose someone as the guy above you on the waiting list hasn't been nor heard from in quite awhile.

[EatEmUp]

We'll get you on. Welcome to the site!

Appreciate it. As I mentioned to Kernzy in a PM I've lurked over at NCAA Strategies for years in the "Coach Mode" forum but, more recently, I've fallen in love with TGT. You guys help me through the dog days of summer while counting the days. Big thanks to everyone on this site - an amazing job.

I echo each and every thing you said there EEU

[morsdraconis]

I think I can speak for the guys here that they're just happy people are liking the place and contributing what they can (be that donating money to help support costs or just adding to the solid core posters here already).

Just don't ask it to marry you :D

[natcret]

My alma mater did not have a football team. The closest team would be Navy for me, but Smooth has already selected it for his school. I have lived in Florida off and on for a long time and am considering picking FSU or USF or UCF. Will make a decision soon.

[Coach Kernzy]

Pick Navy, that'd be fun, then you two can battle it out to see who can get there first. :)

[natcret]

I thought Smooth already had Navy as his AM.

[Coach Kernzy]

He does but there is no rule saying two people can't have the same.
Battle royale for the right to coach Navy.

[natcret]

Hmmm that sounds interesting

[SmoothPancakes]

Yep, active people in the forum makes everything better. If I wanted to just being in an OD where you just play the games and there is no talking between the members, I'd go join some random OD on the internet. The conversations and joking between users is what makes these ODs fun.

Welcome to the board EatEmUp, glad to have you around!

Do it! :D We're already battling each other to avoid being in last place of all the teams in Florida with FAU and FIU. Why not extend it to the battle for the Alma Mater with Navy. :D Then if you beat me to it, I can schedule Navy each year and ruin your record until they fire you, then I can swoop in to the coaching position and save the day. :D

[HawkFan]

This is easily the most fun I have had pre-release for a game in a long time. I can not wait to get my hands on this game and fire it up, and even more so get this thing started. Going to be tons of fun.

Consider it done. Let the Battle Royal for Navy begin!

[Coach Kernzy]

Done deal, this is all going to be so fun

[morsdraconis]

Awesome! We have our first possible Alma Mater war! Winner gets to play me every year :)

[SmoothPancakes]

Consider it done. Let the Battle Royal for Navy begin!

Excellent! This is going to be fun. May the best coach win!

Yes it is. Honestly, without coaching carousel, even with a full fledged coach mode, I don't know if this dynasty would be as fun as it will be without CC to make things extremely interesting along the way.


Awesome! We have our first possible Alma Mater war! Winner gets to play me every year :)

Looking forward to the yearly showdown with you mors. :)

[Bastone]

I want in

Can I get put on a waiting list possibly?

[Coach Kernzy]

Yep I'll get you added to the waiting list

[Coach Kernzy]

With NavyKnight leaving that'll open a spot for EatEmUp who I've sent a PM to so he'll pick his team.

[Coach Kernzy]

EatEmUp is in and he's chosen to Utah State to start off so we have a full group of active owners now. Let's hope those Fairdale King named rosters come out pretty soon after release and we can get this party started.

[Gnarlymutt]

Coach Kernzy, Coach Davis here. As discussed, I'm interested in being chucked up on the waiting list. Looking forward to hopefully renewing our rivalries of years past.

Welcome to the site :up:

[Coach Kernzy]

Gnarlymutt (Coach Davis) is my brother-in-law. He's the one I've talked about having great fun with our coach mode dynasties back in the day with NCAA 06 and 07 on the old Xbox. We'd get together and spend full days and pull all-nighters on those games. Some good times had and I'm hoping that NCAA 12 can bring back those best of times.

I'll get you added man, stay in touch.

[Gnarlymutt]

Good times indeed! From the Ok State/Texas tech days, through FSU/Miami (after several promotions) and even the old Ark St./MTST days, we had our share of hard fought games. Looking forward to watching things progress early on for the league, and hopefully catching on at some point.

Oh yeah, I'm pretty sure I've had Coach Kernzy's number as of late, so if anyone needs any gameplan assistance, just holler! ;-)

[Coach Kernzy]

Very true, towards the end of our times with those games he was beating me most every time we met, once I think knocked me out of a title shot when I was FSU and he was Miami. I remember I had a great running team with a great running QB but he would always make that one or two big mistakes either throwing an INT or fumbling and it would kill me. Funny the things you remember.
Hope to have you around early and often man.

[Gnarlymutt]

The things we remember indeed... Fumbles plagued you for a while. I remember a specific drive were you were inside my 10 yardline with under a minute to go and were down by 1 or 2. A FG secured the victory for your Seminoles, and we both knew the game was over. You ran your stud RB to the left side for FG positioning purposes and he fumbled, losing the game for you, and maybe the ACC title as well. That might have been my 1st NCAA Championship year if I remember right. :-). Good times for sure!

[EatEmUp]

Good morning, all! Sorry to see some attrition here, but very thankful and excited to be on board. Looks like it's already been posted / mentioned, but I'll be taking over the Utah State Aggies out of the WAC. I seriously debated some of the MAC (Kent State?) and (particularly) C-USA (UAB?) options out there (I graduated from Houston, so I'm naturally a C-USA guy... wait... I just threw up in my mouth a little bit after I typed that... what I meant to say was I'm naturally a SWC guy, but... yeah...).

I guess I'm running scared grabbing a WAC team. :-)

Utah State, with the relative talent they have in a relatively weak conference, I thought gave me the best opportunity to be mildly successful from the get go. A decent tailback that's a JR also played into my decision making as I tend to be a smash-mouth coach to the extent that I'm overly predictable and easy to prepare for (get in line for a non-conference game now!). Hopefully I didn't misread anything in the ol' teambuilder rosters. I'll hit up the predictions thread here in a bit. I looked at the schedule before I picked 'em. It ain't pretty, but none of our situations are.

Very much looking forward to it!

Yep I remember that exact instance you're talking about. I'm a pretty calm gamer and not one of the controller throwing types but in that instance I almost chucked it :)

[Cipher 8]

Gnarlymutt can take my spot, Bastone is my bro and if I'm not in he won't want to be in either. Sucks they took the air right out of this league before it even got started... I want a spot on the list for next year though. By god we're going to get this in for NCAA Football 13!

[Coach Kernzy]

With Cipher 8 and Bastone gone I'll get with Gnarlymutt and see if he wants that 12th spot and we'll hopefully be full again.

[Coach Kernzy]

Welcome Gnarlymutt and his Kent State Golden Flashes to the OD.

[priestmvp]

I'm interested, put me on the waiting list in case something opens. Been in online coach mode leagues on the pc dating back to fbpro days.

[EatEmUp]

A decent tailback that's a JR also played into my decision making as I tend to be a smash-mouth coach...

I think I may have extra screwed myself. I don't know *what* I was looking at in the TeamBuilder rosters. Could've sworn I saw a JR, "star" HB. I pulled them up when I bought the game and... uhhh... no. Starter is a SR! No worries. I'm gonna' build me a monster out west with Utah State. :-)

[SmoothPancakes]

Coach Kernzy, any way we can add everyone's Gamertags to the Owner List? There's still probably 3 or 4 people I don't have added to my friend's list yet and I have no clue what their GT is as a couple don't have their GT listed in their profiles on here.

[Coach Kernzy]

So you're changing your starting to school to Utah State?

[Coach Kernzy]

I think I'm confused, I already show you as Utah St, I was up late and didn't get much sleep :)

[EatEmUp]

I think I'm confused, I already show you as Utah St, I was up late and didn't get much sleep :)

Yeah. No. I just noticed my brain freeze and thought I'd call myself out on it. :-) I'm still down with the Utah State! Go Aggies?

[ciscokid89]

Hey coach add me on the waiting list my gamertag is willowstreetkid, im 41 n i love the coach mode

[Archedemius]

Natcret is ready! Game on!

[Coach Kernzy]

We now have 11 and 1 opening, morsdraconis has decided NCAA 12 is not for him.

[Archedemius]

So now Mors and JB?

[Coach Kernzy]

So now Mors and JB?

I don't think anyone said anything about JB.

[Coach Kernzy]

Read that he was leaving after I posted this.

And then there were 10...

[Archedemius]

We shall be fine. I think both of them had said that they were giving coaching a try, but it wasn't their main thing. I guess we will be able to move forward tonight easier now.

[Sammage]

New to online dynasties, but if you have an opening I think I'd like to give it a shot. Let me know what I need to do to get set up.

[Utdoyle]

If you still have an opening, I'll take it. GT-UT Doyle

[arodtwlv]

I'd like to join. My first choice was going to be Western Michigan, but since that is taken i'd like UAB

[natcret]

With the coaching changes for season 1, can we update this?

Saw your ad on another board and very interested in playing... I been playing NCAA football for years off and on (first one verision I remember playing the pc verision in '98) and having just gotten a XBox 360 and gotten back into the game I really been itching to try a online dynasty... Please add me to the waiting list or let me know if you have an opening...

[martywebb]

Interested in joining. Not sure if you can invite me, and I pick my own team, or I have to select a team first?

Huge NCAA player, been playing for years. Sim-Style, of course. My gamertag is Nickel Pleez, and I look forward to joining y'all.

I have the same story as most of you around here, been playing Madden/NCAA as long as both have been around. I've never been a part of an online dynasty, but have been an extremely active member of numerous Madden PC Leagues. I played ball at the college level (1-AA), and like to think I know my way around an offensive scheme ... I'd love the opportunity to play in this OD for NCAA 13.

Thanks Kernzy. Played my game today. The West Point Cadets put it on Temple. I even recruited this morning!

Love the sliders, very balanced so far.

Thanks again....
