Oh, man, good catch!

I'm now 30 years old (going on 31 this summer), so I've had this going for half my life. Kind of crazy to think about! I think back to some of the key players earlier in this legacy (Wendell Lalugba, for example) and it's crazy to think that was over 10 years ago...in real life!

I am considering starting up a side legacy with a smaller school again just to experience those early struggles once again, but I don't think there's any way I could leave this legacy behind for good at this point. I'm pretty determined to finish it out to year No. 40 (as far as you can go in CH 2K8), assuming my files hold together until then. I do have a backup, which has come in use twice now after system failures.

Assembly Hall
Champaign, IL
December 12th, 2037

Tonight, the No. 1 West Virginia Mountaineers (9-0) maintained their undefeated streak with a commanding 79-55 road win over the previously unbeaten No. 17 Illinois Fighting Illini (7-1) in Champaign, IL.

Despite Illinois' impressive 7-0 start to the season, the Mountaineers asserted their dominance with a resounding 24-point victory on the Fighting Illini's home court.

Stefon Hull led the charge for West Virginia with 19 points, while Oscar Carroto added 12 points despite a career-worst six turnovers. Johnny Riggs contributed 11 points and four rebounds to the winning effort.

For Illinois, Ime Umeh put up 17 points and grabbed five rebounds, although he struggled with his shooting, hitting just 7/23 from the field and 1/13 from beyond the arc.

The Fighting Illini's offense faltered throughout the game, shooting a mere 37% (24/65) overall and an abysmal 10% (2/20) from three-point range. Marc West (3/4 FG) was the only Illinois player to shoot above 50% from the field.

West Virginia head coach James Frizzell praised his team's performance, saying, "Tonight's win is big for us. We seem to really be hitting our stride lately, and this is the best game I've seen us play to date. I'm really excited about where we could go this season. This team is one of the deepest and best defensive teams I've coached. The sky's the limit for us."

The Mountaineers will have a short break before hosting their rivals, the 7-2 Virginia Tech Hokies, on Monday, with the Hokies eager to pull off an upset against their formidable opponents.

I don’t remember exactly when I found this thread, but it had to of been over 10 years ago. It’s been fun following along with your journey, please finish out the full 40 years! I feel like you almost have to at this point.

Can't believe you're going on your 15th year. You're one of the reasons why I started my own legacies in CH2K8 (now dynastys in NCAA Basketball 10). Keep it up! I hope your console can do the same thing. Power up and peace!

Thanks! I will try!! Still got another 10 years to go, which will take a while, but that’s definitely my goal!

Thanks! I’ve got this legacy on a flash drive, too, at least, so it should survive another console breakdown.

I need to catch up on your legacy. I had checked out of this forum for a while in between posting dynasties.

It’s funny because prior to this dynasty I was a chronic dynasty-restarter, then somehow I managed to keep this going for so long.

[kibaxx7]

I remember attempting my first dynasty when I was 15, and I'm 32, so that's half my life too! And I've always been a chronic re-starter and constant fail with this hobby, James, so you're not alone... But to keep this one going for all this time? You deserve nothing but praise and applause, the world you've built is amazing and as I said before, I come back to this thread pretty often to get some ideas.
