[TheAgency]

JB I'm available tonight after I'm done with family birthday dinner if you are free tonight. Sunday through Tuesday are booked up with work. Wednesday will be the next open day for me. Let me know what's gonna work best for you.

[JBHuskers]

Might have to be Wednesday. Out of town til Sunday night. I'm typically home from work at 530 central.

[TheAgency]

Sounds good. I'll let you know if anything changes for me

[TheAgency]

JB I forgot I have late games for my softball league Wednesday from 8:30-10:30 central. I'll be done with work today at a respectable hour today if you're up to go when you get back home. Monday and Tuesday are still no good for me.

[skipwondah33]

You guys should just try connecting for a minute or so to see if it will even work.

That way you won't be anticipating a game like we did and end up disappointed on two separate occasions lol

[JBHuskers]

We tried last night, no go so sim it.

[gschwendt]

Remaining:

Ohio State vs Rutgers
Penn State at Michigan State

[JeffHCross]

I'll be playing in the morning

[JeffHCross]

Ohio State dominates Rutgers and is ready to advance. Snoop is bringing up the rear.

[psusnoop]

Rear brought up hahahaha

Tough game against the Spartans as I lose Edwards for 3 weeks maybe longer due to a pulled hamstring. I can see his having a huge impact on my season but hopefully I can overcome this and someone steps up to take the bull by the horns.

[JeffHCross]

Ouch!

[skipwondah33]

My QB gets hurt every game, sometimes for a quarter, 2 quarters or the game dating back since last season lol

[JeffHCross]

I would say that my QB never gets hurt, but saying that would be like inviting karma pain, so I'm not going to say that.

[skipwondah33]

My fingers are crossed for this week. They always are every game

Because for some odd reason by Backup QB with 93 Throw Accuracy can never throw accurately. I can only complete a random deep pass (50+ yards) or a 5 yard crossing route.

Everything else goes wide by 15 yards and off the mark.

I know I am no longer in the league but that is from the sliders only being able to be moved in increments of 5. That was one of my biggest frustrations with NCAA 14. Having QBA at 5 was too low and 10 was too high.

[skipwondah33]

Yeah one extreme to the next.

Every game my QB's first 5 throws are like that no matter whether I'm playing at home or away. So I count on them being that way and try to throw passes that I'm not really counting on being completed. Then all of sudden he turns into Aaron Rodgers for a series

[JeffHCross]

Skip, all of our quarterbacks are largely the same. My starter can't hit anything for the first series or two, then can't miss.

[skipwondah33]

Oh I know I figured it wasn't just me. Frustrating when you don't know when it will happen. Like when you have a Post route wide open and the QB throws it directly to a Safety 25 yards away lol

[skipwondah33]

Brown just got hurt for the game again...another concussion lol
