      Y'all have really done a great great job putting all this time in setting this up. I am greatly appreciated for it and now have something to do this weekend lol. I was wanted to ask two questions though. Do you know if you can get invited to other conferences in online dynasty? Also, can you receive offers from other school to coach elsewhere? Thanks for all your hard work guys!!

      We greatly appreciate everyones feedback. I myself enjoyed doing all of it because I knew you guys would love seeing it, especially since you won't be able to get your hands on the game until Tuesday.

      No on both accounts. Be sure to take a look at our Q&A thread. We've answered a bunch of questions in there as well!

      I'm definitely going to start with recruiting on AA. If I'm going with Michigan I'd rather start out too tough and back off after a couple years if I suck. It's the growing of a program that is the most fun. Once you become a great team (A or A+) the game becomes a little boring as you are expected to win virtually every game. The close battles while you are an average team are the best. Plus upsetting a better team is really satisfying.

      Not a problem. Just wanted to make sure to direct others over there as well if they hadn't seen it yet.

      Yeah, I think for a single player dynasty, AA is probably the way to go, even for the little guys. Granted me signing a handful of 3-star guys isn't going to change my team drastically the next year, but it will definitely put us on the road to playing above our means more quickly than if I had struggled to sign a single 3-star which would be more accurate for an Arkansas State type team.

      Have you tried to recruit on Heisman yet? If so how big of a difference is that from AA?

      Honestly I haven't tried anything except Varsity so far. I just get the initial feeling from that experience that AA will be the way to go but I don't have first-hand experience. I'll try to play around with each this weekend.

      You're rethinking AA? Hell, I'm rethinking Heisman for my edited Navy dynasty I'll be doing.

      I'm not very good though! Plus, I'm starting with a cupcake roster. It'll take me 5 or 6 years to become decent...I hope!

      TOUGH loss for Texas against Bama. I'm guessing that was Tommy playing as Texas. He was calling plays and playing similar to my style except for the switching on defense which I don't do because I screw things up far more often that way. The double wide defense is awful tough late in the game. That had to hurt along with the missed FL.

      Does the player stretch his arm out for the touchdown this year when he's near the goaline or was that just a celebration?

      That was a celebration (O/B near goal line on breakaway).

      I, for one, am glad they no longer have a lineman military-pressing the championship trophy behind the coach. That was just laughable. Awesome, in a way, but laughable nevertheless.

      Well, just wait until I start up my Navy dynasty thread in the Dynasty Recap forum. Lets just say, by the time I get done editing Navy's players and rosters, the I-AA directional schools (East, Northwest, etc) could whoop my ass 100-0.
