Other than the fact that I'd much rather be playing Papa every year than you, I'm fine with it. Whether he runs with Texas or Iowa, there's not a significant difference between the two.Quote:

haha texas in the state of texas, your doing it wrong oneback.
jk i dont care and just want everyone to be happy with their team! (and to start soon :) )
I think it's a fair compensation for being strong-armed out of Ann Arbor ;-)
Indiana, same team I was going to replace for Nebraska.Quote:

The only thing that I would ask is that there are at least 4 user controlled teams per conference (In the big 12 and ACC it would either need to be 2 per division or all 4 in one).
Any thoughts on that from everyone?
I know everyone has been practicing with their teams and may not want to change at this point but I atleast wanted to throw out the alternative so everyone can have more of a "powerhouse" team.
I agree. Everytime I looked at the Nebraska roster and figured out everything that needed to be changed and then looked at the Michigan roster and thought it would be nice to have that I texted Papa. Only because Papa wanted to change them back from a spread team to a power run team, so I figured I would make both of our jobs easier.Quote:

Fine with me as well. Most important thing is for everyone to be happy with their teams.
Well in that case. I'm thinking of taking my services to Hokie-land..but I have grown to like the Sun Devils. Hmm I'll have to see what everyone else does.
I agree and part of that comes with everyone having equal teams. Not saying Escobar couldn't over come it but having Minnesota in a conference that includes Ohio State, Penn State, FSU, Texas and Michigan puts him at a big disadvantage.Quote:

Oh well. Here's my new considerations:
1. TCU (replace Colorado?).. the only thing that scares me is that they lose 9 starters on offense after '10, and then 7 on defense, along with 5 overall in the secondary.
2. Oklahoma
3. West Virginia (replace Duke?)
4. Virginia Tech
5. Wisconsin (if now available)
It's still up to everyone on if they want to change the format. Are you on board with switching to a new conference?Quote:

I'm good with the new conferences. I'll have to take a look at which team I may want but honestly I felt a bit dirty using USC since they were pretty much pre-built.
So, with that said, the Big 10 is full (plus one), correct?
Here is what I have so far:
Big 10
1. JeffHCross - Ohio State
2. psusnoop - Penn State
3. Oneback - Michigan
4.
Big 12
North
1. gschwendt - Nebraska
2.
South
1. Papa Lonestar - Texas
2. Iron Dragon - Oklahoma
ACC
Atlantic
1. fsuprime - FSU
2.
Costal
2. texacotea - Miami
3. skipwondah33 - Va Tech
Waiting on a team:
xGRIDIRONxGURUx
Kingpin32
Escobar
I'm good with the Sooners. I've looked over their roster and they have quite a bit to build on. They were one of the teams I needed to update in my roster anyways since I got suggestions and notes handed to me about them.
I'll go with Boston College.
Actually, give me Nebraska if you don't mind.

That way teams like USC and Oregon are available to match the talent and prestige....and maybe moving FSU to the SEC will open up other talents (except Alabama please....lol)....that way we have the national title game (possibly), Rose Bowl, Cotton Bowl, etc. as possible user vs user bowl matchups. Just a thought :-)
Also....moving the teams in that order (Texas for Washington, Texas A&M for Washington State, etc.) would allow for the LoneStar Showdown and Bedlam to be the last games of the year give it an authentic feel.
Damn I was looking forward to my battles with G in the Pac-10 lol, even though he had the almighty USC
They signed a TV deal to save the Big 12.Quote:

With fewer user vs user games during the year it will make the season play faster but the user games will end up being the bigger games.
Definitely :nod:Quote:

i was actually looking forward to bring fsu to the big ten and having a diff slate of teams to play ;) so i dont mind what conf FSU gets put in (or stays in)
also iron u have a pm
I guess I'll take Georgia Tech. Tex beat me for the U.
You could always go TTU and move either OK or TTU to the North.Quote:

Since neither is really here to represent themselves, if either Escobar or xGRIDIRONxGURUx would prefer a Big 12 team then I'm willing to go to Wisconsin or Boston College either one. I realize I keep waffling but for some reason I just can't find a team I love.
Haha, man we need to get this thing started, we're all racking up frequent flyer miles :DQuote:

I'll go with Clemson. They already have the personnel to fit my O and D, and I just picked A&M to roll with in the TGT dynasty.

If we're moving Big XII to Pac-10, I'd prefer Oregon State.
Man this is going to be one of the most heated dynasties I've ever been involved in, big team after big team. I'm loving this new layout.
