if ppl cant wait then they should edit just one team and see the time that takes. obviously the work that you guys do is much appreciated and were all more then willing to wait another day if thats needed. if your gonna do something you might as well do it the best you can. and besides the game has only been out for 6 days, we have until next ncaa to play this one
I've done the rosters once. From 7am to 4am for like a week. I would fall asleep at work. I am anxious now, cause I want to start my seasons, but I am waiting cause these things will be EPIC!!
a lot of pressure on buck & 'bait right now - after all these delayed "ETAs" if these things come out and have anything serious wrong with them....
People will always copy great ideas, just remember that. But at least you guys can rest assured that you were the originators. Honestly I was surprised more teams hadn't done it just because of 1) Like you said, if theyre gonna spend the money then why not have fun with it and 2) It adds character & fits with the pageantry that is a college game day.
Not to go too off topic, but I imagine a lot of people waiting for these rosters has played Road to Glory. If so, did anyone else get annoyed as I did at not being able to call Audibles as a starting QB? "I'm sorry Coach, but Speed Option on 3rd and 15 when theyre blitzing the outside corners just doesn't seem like the best idea to me."
I created the
"why is buckey / gator thread closed"
and they didn't wast any time giving me a "warning"
I'm like dude, really? Your a forum MOD, oh, congrats of achieving something in life :up::up:
PS - My first post here :) WOOT!!! Came here when people on OS were saying "we should all go to gamingtailgate" haha... so, here I am :)
I look forward to having fun with everyone, this place seems allot more laid back..
Buck / Gator, keep it up, donation will be on the way... Gotta see how much love you gave my Toledo Rockets first :)
Here are some major things I noticed from the BYU roster that I had planned to change until I found your thread. Sorry so late, there are other minor issues with their roster that I can't remember as I am at work, but these are the biggies.
BYU Cougar changes
QB
Jake Heaps #9 underrated in accuracy and awareness (obviously subjective)
Remove Alex Kuresa (Incoming FR will serve a mission)
Add Jason Munns # 12 6’5” 254 dropback passer, ratings similar to Larks, RS SO Kennewick, WA
Change # for James Lark from 3 to 14 (3 duplicate)
RB
Remove Algernon Brown Mission
Add Adam Hine (no number given 22 could work) returning from a mission, 6’ 190 FR St George UT
TE
Move Mike Muehlman #82 to DE
Add Richard Wilson #8 (18 is a duplicate) 6’2” 233 SO Spanish Fork UT 2nd string behind Mahina
WR
O’Neill Chambers #4 is suspended for the entire 2011 season and will move to FS when he returns
Cody Hoffman #2 is medium skin
Ross Apo #11, RS Fr should be rated similar to Cody Hoffman with more speed and better catching in traffic from my observations at Spring ball. He is the #2 receiver heading into camp
OL
Matt Reynolds #70 LT is a 1st round NFL draft pick and is rated as the 2nd best lineman on the team, he should be highest rated
Houston Reynolds #78 RG should be moved to backup C, same ratings
Walter Kahaiali’l #71 is starting RG 6’3” 334 Jr Lahaina, HI
DL
Thomas Bryson RDE #79 left team, return is doubtful
Move Eathyn Manumaleuna #55 to starting RDE
Replace Moses Kaumatule DT (will redshirt/or go on mission) with Hebron Fangupo DT #91 (USC transfer) SR 6’1” 310 Santa Ana, CA rated equal to Fuga from Spring ball evaluations, will start if Fuga is not ready by opening day.
LB
Kyle Van Noy ROLB change to #3 is the starter here and fastest LB and should be highest rated ROLB
Jordan Pendleton #1 will start at LOLB and should be rated higher than Jameson Frazier #48
Replace Jadon Wagner #49 OLB (left to enter CFL draft) with Uona Kaveinga #4 MLB Jr 5’11 255 (USC Transfer) is the teams #1 inside LB entering fall camp and will start alongside Ogletree (#44)
Secondary
Totally jacked up position wise
Here is the Depth Chart entering fall camp (first 2 CB are projected starters)
CB
Corby Eason #25 RSR
Robbie Buckner #26 RJR
Preston Hadley #7 JR (Missing) Black 6’ 200 Pleasant Grove, UT JC transfer will see lots of PT = to Buckner and Eason in ratings, but more physical.
Jordan Johnson #28 RFR will also see lots of PT behind Buckner
DeQuan Everett #21 (currently listed as a safety)
Cory Gaines #28 currently suspended from the team, if he returns he will play safety
FS
Travis Uale #23
Mike Hague #32 (converted FB, wt is now 190) is battling Uale for starting spot
Carter Mees #15
SS
Daniel Sorenson #17
Jray Galea’i #18
Joe Sampson (no number Poss #20 or any open 20s number) currently listed as a CB JC transfer black 6’ 205 Oakland, CA, expected to compete for playing time in fall camp at either SS or FS
If somebody gets mad at a mistake in these rosters they can go download a different one and play with that until they get that "grass is greener on the other side" feeling. At the end of the day, these are free, donations optional, but free. And I've never met anyone that thought complaining about free stuff is OK.
i agree - i think that's why these two guys are going nuts and making it thorough. if they weren't worried about mistakes ect. we'd have a roster by now. they're doing the right thing.
that having been said - i can't wait for people to say "why does this dude not have a visor on nevada?"
lmao at the thread being locked again...
smh...
Looks like OS locked the thread again...based on reading into Buck's comment IMO.
"E stands for estimate. I made no promises.
Please dont feed the trolls.
This thread can be locked again. Ive said what i needed to say."
Not sure this meant lock it now or warning people that it could be locked. Oh well glad I joined up here.
Edit: I read Buck's post wrong.
It pains me alot to say thanks to Gator and buckeye especially buckeye for doing this, but it is really appreciated. I can only imagine the time it must take and I know I personally couldn't do it. Not to mention all the people hounding you all day everyday. Good job to both you and Gator!! Please don't do anything bad to the Michigan roster!! GO BLUE!!
Take your time guys and thanks for all the hard work ya'll are putting into the rosters. Its giving me more time to get my game plan ready to take NC State to BCS National Championship.
This subject is off topic. So i threw it in the "spoiler" link.:easy:
Spoiler: show
I am right there with you. I will actually be at Bama-UF this year (can't wait). I assume you used Gator Country as your source for more up to date weights/heights and depth right? They posted it a few weeks back. Anyway, looking forward to seeing this roster once complete.
This is my first post at a site I have really enjoyed reading for months. The other site that has caused such a stir here has always put me off due to the child like posts. However, I am also a big by the rules kind of guy. While I can agree with everything posted above I can also see the problem many are having waiting. Try to see things from both sides basically. These guys work hard at their rosters and owe nobody anything. They did not do themselves any favors however when they stated that they would not sleep until finished. One side needs to grow up and learn some appreciation for favors done the other...well...celebrate after the game is won.
I just wanna give a HUGE thanks to gator and block for their hard work and many hours put in on these rosters thank you very much guys
i can see where other ppl are coming from with the whole i cant wait any longer etc. but like you said gator and block o dont owe us anything. they do this for themselves and choose to share with the community, which is much appreciated btw. as someone who has done rosters in the past, as im sure many of us did until we found gator and block o the amount of time that goes into them is overwhelming. and i never did edits/equipment/depth charts etc except florida, theyre doing 120 teams.
Boise, what did u say that got u banned. I left OS for a minute and missed the whole thread. :fp:
Yeah bro, I got Banned at OS.
I was always cordial with everyone there, respectful and all that. Even when I was wrong about something, acknowledged the person that got me on the right path, etc., and went about my business.
So after they closed Buck and Gator's Thread over there last night...I got annoyed and didn't say anything. I thought it was odd because we didn't do anything "wrong," even if we went "Off-Topic" or whatever they want to call it over there.
So like I said though, I just help my tongue and watched it all unfold. I woke up this morning wondering where the new Thread would be (because of the ETA we were given by Buck and Gator), and I saw that someone else had written a Thread entitled "Why is Buck and Gator's Thread closed??"
A few people including myself finally spoke our mind at OS. I said the Mods there were a bunch of overprivileged babies, and that The Gaming Tailgate was more relaxed and had a better atmosphere.
The Thread got Closed, I got a TOS, told the guys here about it, only to Refresh my page and see "You have been banned. Date of ban to be lifted: Never."
That's pretty much the story, and I'm happy to be here.
Checking in from OS..... Forget those queers over there. Lets meet here next year!
See I always follow everyone's TOS... but then again I've never been laid :(
No matter what site we are on.. We need to let these guys finish
Not saying OS is right or wrong, but it's 2 out of 10 of the post that screw it for the rest of us
Please Dear Baby Jesus... please don't let those guys who just got banned or were bitchin' at OS find this place.
Edit: Just read the thread... too late:(
I have a feeling my team will get worse when these come out.
:: hope gator bait is awake after his much needed sleep::
I am happy they are giving all the teams the right respect.. That is awesome
Arent they editing overalls?
