    Mine's 2 1/2 so he'll be a little behind the 8 ball. It'll be ok since he'll be able to step in and beat Snoop's boy.

    I give little snoop the remote once in a while. Only when I call a running play though. I didn't know how to break it to you but since the topic has been opened up I guess now would be a good time. You know that 61yd rush by Beachum? Yep you guess it that was little snoop, juking your DB so bad his jock strap is still sitting at the 45yd line in Pasadena.

    LOL - I can only imagine. I told my wife when she got pregnant that if we had a girl I was just going to hand over the wallet and checkbook.

    As a Yankee fan, and a Dallas resident, I am a bit torn.

    I don't know if some of you have started to utilize the Spreadsheet of all the prospects that you can download from the OD Website but man does it come in handy. Wish they would have had this at the begining of this season.

    If you don't mind sharing at least a little bit, what are you seeing that is advantageous? Obviously the handy information about ATHs is nice, but beyond that I haven't seen anything that significant. It'll be a quicker way for me to look at recruits in the pre-season, but that's about it right now.

    It would take way too much time to sift through all the recruits on the console/website. In Excel I can sort quickly and find what I am looking for. Albeit they may be already heavily recruited there are a lot of recruits in the lower levels (3-star) that I would've never touched but fit my needs, without this tool I would've never known they were there.

    Yeah, it'll definitely be worth looking at next preseason. Though I'm pretty much focusing solely on the Top 10 teams this year. A lot less comparing players, simply because it doesn't matter if I like a guy if I'm not going to be able to get him.

    I've found you can still crack a top 10 but landing them is a whole nother story. I mean once the CPU picks up that you are going after said recruit they are like a pack of wolves on some of these guys this year. Not always though so you can "steal" one everyonce in awhile.

    Looking at the rosters my DB's are just as good as theirs or any in the nation...all of my DB's have a CTH rating in the 60's. My team is in the top 10 in sacks and at the end of the year looks like it might be a top 5 defense in terms of total yards.

    I assume that you guys are aggressive on interceptions in gameplanning whereas I am on Normal...thats the only thing I can figure.
    I run my defense like the Jets/Ravens before that but with a 4-2-5. Or like V-Tech's defense. So I need shut down corners. Since I play alot of man coverage that's the only stat I look at with my corners. But if they can't run they don't play. So the best corner for my system may have the lowest OVR, but on the field could be my best player. Robinson set the school record for INT's in a season last year in his first season starting. And is on pace to shatter the Career Record for INT's. But if I put up that highlight against RC Singer, they make the plays themselves jumping routes when they are in Zone. I have INT's on Aggressive.

    And we also play in the ACC where some of the CPU teams throw alot or use no huddle offensives.

    Does anyone have any experience with CRT Projectors, specifically the Sony VPH-D50HTU. The owner of my company had a lighting strike 2 years ago that knocked out a lot of his home theater equipment and through fighting with the insurance company he just had everything replaced and I am picking this unit up as well as a Faroudja digital video processor for a price I just cannot beat...free.

    I know the CRT tubes usually last for about 7-10 years and are $700 a piece to replace, the unit only has 3 years (if that) of use on it. Any other information if you have any would be great.

    The only thing that immediately comes to mind about CRT projectors is I seem to recall that burn-in is a major problem. With things like the score bar at the bottom of NCAA, that could be a problem. But that's just off the top of my head and may be completely wrong.

    I'll have to watch for that. I know I will want to try it out as the image size ranges from 60-250 inches. Hopefully the Rangers win the ALCS and I can have this thing setup by the time the World Series starts.

    About.com is one of my favorite (read: trustworthy) places to look for "the basics" on subjects I know nothing about. So here you go ... middle of the page or so.

    Limitations Of CRT Video Projection

    1. A CRT projection television is rather large. A CRT-based projection television can take up a lot of space, in terms of cabinet depth, not only in comparison to Plasma and LCD flat panel sets, both also in comparison to DLP and LCD rear-projection units.

    2. A CRT-based rear-projection television has to be converged properly for best image reproduction. Since the modern CRT-based rear-projection television houses three projection tubes (red, green, and blue), the tubes need to be aligned so that the projected image does not exhibit color halos and the colors are mixed correctly. If one projection tube fails, all three have to be replaced in order to provide the correct color and brightness balance.

    3. Although all projection televisions generate some heat, this is a challenge in CRT-based projection sets, due to the fact that three separate projection tubes must be cooled and kept at an even temperature. This is accomplished by liquid gels developed for this purpose. Although very rare, the liquid gels casings can leak, thus causing the television to malfunction.

    4. CRT projection televisions are more susceptible to image burn-in from continuously displayed station logos and window box lines resulting from extensive display of 4x3 programming on 16x9 CRT projection sets.

    Here is an image of what I am getting:



    Although from what I am reading it still has all the same characteristics of set top boxes.
