They're also for Heisman.
So I guess Papa has most of the defensive awards locked up with Owen.
Awards are consolation prizes for not winning championships.
Yeah, I know he is getting pissed we are in year 5 and he has won nothing so far. :D
I wouldn't mind continuing to piss him off :D
He's gotten soft in parenthood. I think we've lost the old Papa.
*literally almost fell off the couch laughing* I haven't won a national title since year 2 & 4 of our 6 year NCAA 11 run....so 2 years in that....plus 3? in 12....plus 4 in 13....I will take Oneback's advice and use the lack of having the luxury of sitting in practice mode for hours as my excuse :D
Sad thing....is that I was told this by my Godsister's husband (bigjkt405 of Utopia back in the day)....once I had a kid....I would fall off....it hurts that he was absolutely correct....lol :(
I don't sit in practice mode for hours, and I do just fine ;)
I think you confused NCAA 10 with 11 and 11 with 12 there. I recall you doing just fine in NCAA 11 (and crashing our dynasty twice by loading a copy of the dynasty, so you could "practice" :P)
Yes...I did....thanks for correcting me, sir *edits post*....well....I would have to say that "sitting in practice mode" was the key to my success when I was in my prime....lol.
Don't blame me for crashing the dynasty....blame the guys who didn't have their priorities straight. Offseason means "all-night" instead of one task a day....lol.
EDIT: With my previous mistakes....it reminded me of my NCAA 10 run....seems so long ago :(

Considering this is our 5th season, I am going to put together a list of some of our best players so far statistically by using the career stats. I was wondering what positions everyone is most interested in, and possibly interest in a sort of Hall of Fame vote after this season for our recruits that are going to leave. I will definitely do the stats and what not after the kids dentist appt, so throw me some ideas of what you guys would like to see included. I already have each teams ranking so far in Offense, Defense, and Turnover diff for this season that I will post later also.
Being selfish, I'd want to see pretty much every position except maybe FBs & OL.
As far as the HOF vote, would it be one per position or a limit on a total number of players or what did you have in mind?
That is what I was wanting to discuss as far as the HOF voting. Would we want to limit each person to a set number of votes like in real life, or just do it by position. I really think OL will have a tough time getting votes for the simple fact they really do not get stats. Each team could do their own HOF and then nominate a few guys each season to be considered for the powerhouse HOF?
I agree OL would probably be hard, but I'd be interested in seeing the stats. I think each team can do a "Ring of Honor" on their own, but for the Hall of Fame vote I say one per position and the coach can't vote for his own players but can state a case for them.
That isn't a bad idea there with each team nominating players but there should be a number involved for how many you can nominate so to speak. I'm not sure what that number should be though.
I'm also like G and wouldn't mind seeing everything other then FB and OL.
Yeah all Positions except OL and FB.
I think getting everyone to vote on the HOF would be tough. I'd just say we have "record holders" and then top 5 at each position.
Well the voting could be done during the offseason when every is on anyway.
Also, we would have to determine if we would split up each position, or just vote for LB's, DL, and S's altogether. I would say each team could nominate 2 or so players for the Powerhouse HOF and then we would have to figure out how many we want to vote in each season.
I would also like to limit it to our own recruits if at all possible, unless everyone would prefer otherwise.
Alex Voelzke is going to be crushed you guys don't want to vote on FB's. He is by far my favorite player on the team. I'm always looking for new ways to get him involved in the offense.
I like the idea, something that will carry over to the new game and all. Would we have a certian number of players that could get into the "HALL" a year?
For different positions, I'd say vote for DEs, DLs, OLBs, MLBs, FSes, & SSes (ie all positions but no left/right distinction).
For nominations, I would agree, only those players that we've recruited. I believe this is the last season for original roster players anyway.
I agree with what's been said about the positions but I disagree with G that we need every position. I think QB HB WR/TE DL LB CB and S would be enough. IMO, don't need to worry about FS vs SS, for example.
Papa, I gotta ask... regarding your DE Owen, how are you generating 50 sacks through 17 games? That includes 27 sacks in 3 games against CPU teams this season.
asked the samething last night.....looked at the season stats and he had 18.5 sacks as of week 7. I have pretty good cbs and s but cant generate anything like that
Bingo....top 3 CBs have 87, 87, and 90 press....along with 90+ man coverage....once he gets a few vs the cpu....he becomes a madman who becomes unblockable....I learned early vs Escobar that I have to pick my spots with it as he got deep on me....but Owen got 4....coverage sacks are huge.
Speaking of which....a cookie for anyone who can solve the mystery of Cover-1, Cover-0 press.
Since there is no press on the left..what I think happens...is that if the CB matches up, he has a chance of covering the WR. If not, its roast-a-rama.
That's my shot in the dark theory, anyway lol
was hoping this was the ND-tOSU game
patience, people...GEEZ! :D :P
I know not everyone is a regular about visiting the general discussion area so be sure to read this thread...

Assuming the Georgia beats Georgia Tech, everybody needs to start rooting against Penn State, Nevada and UL Lafayette. They're the only undefeated CPU teams left, and also the only CPU teams (plus Virginia Tech) in the Top 15.
I'd love it if you lurkers would venture over into the User Wish Lists and check out my idea on how to completely redesign recruiting pipelines.

an idea here.
When I ventured off to the xbox side of things, I was in The Experience over at TSO. They had a rule as you cant sign more players than what will give you 70. I enjoyed this, it makes you pick and choose who you go after and how many you get. It also cuts down on someone signing X number of 4* players just to boost the recruiting rankings. It also lets us move through the cut players alot faster if not skip it at all.
Just an idea. Throwing it out there.
Here is what is over there.
Quote:
Scholarships
The amount of scholarships that can be offered at any given time will be dictated by the following formula:
A = number of seniors on your team that will graduate.
B = 70 - current amount of players currently on roster
A + B = total number of available scholarships.
Note: Any player that leaves early would free up a scholarship for the offseason. Example: You have 70 men on the roster. 18 Seniors. That would give you 18 scholarships, meaning after Graduation you would have 52 players (without recruits). Now let's say two underclassmen decide to go Pro and you are unable to sway them back. This drops your roster to 50 people/20 available scholarships
Love the idea Tex and typically I do only try to sign what I have leaving, but the CPU always adds recruits after the last week.
Only problem with that is that this year, recruits are automatically added to your board at the end of the year. I think practically every year I've had at least 5-10 recruits added that I either didn't offer a scholarship or didn't even talk to.
