The Pyramid 2017 - Cut Players

[Kodos]

Crap. Sorry to hear the outcome changed. But at least it uploaded.

[Kodos]

We're on to Week 4. Hopefully EA has ironed out the kinks...

Utah (0-1) at Memphis (0-0)
Boise State (1-1) at #13 Wyoming (2-0)
Baylor (1-0) at Texas State (0-2)
#25 FAU (1-0) at Florida (2-1)

[Julio Riddols]

We put a stomping on Boise for our first easy win of the year, something like 56-31 I think it was. Upload worked fine. Maybe we're out of those dark woods.

[cartman]

Ugh, just got the can't upload message again after finishing my game.

[Grammaticus]

Yeah, I'm getting upload issue when I try to recruit. I will have to make sure the ports are open.

[CU Tiger]

It let me recruit and no issues...shows me as ready to advance.

[Kodos]

So it seems that, with the depth chart check, that one will eventually upload if it doesn't at first. But when you play a game, if it doesn't upload at first, it probably isn't going to. Is that what others have experienced?

[Kodos]

Just as an FYI, we're going to be transferring commish duties for the Pyramid over to Julio.

[Grammaticus]

got my recruiting to work and ready to advance.

[Julio Riddols]

I promise to be a good commish, and I will only cheat when it benefits me.

[Kodos]

So nothing will be different?

[MacroGuru]

Ugh, holy hell.

I let Utah go up with 40 seconds left...march down the field and hit a pass over the middle. I do not have any timeouts left but there was 13 secs on the clock. More than enough time to line up, spike it and kick the FG for the win.

Nope, my WR is injured, lays on the field and flops like a dead fish until 10 secs burn off, by that time there wasn't enough time to line up an snap it, we lose.

I threw my controller across the room on that one...I might have to go get me a new one.

[Kodos]

That's a sucky way to lose.

[Kodos]

So are we ready to advance? Last time I checked, cartman still had a game left... I think. Not having a working website makes it harder for me to keep track of where things are with the various leagues.

[cartman]

I still have a game. I wasn't able to upload over the weekend. I'll give it a try again tonight.

[cartman]

Finally was able to get a game to upload

[Julio Riddols]

I'll clear that OD tonight, Kodos. Then I think you'll be able to hand over the reins.

[Kodos]

Sounds good.

[Kodos]

Okay, I believe I have successfully transferred the commissioner role over to you, JR. And it looks like we are ready to advance. Thanks for taking the controls.

[Julio Riddols]

You got it. I will advance us tonight or tomorrow morning.

[Julio Riddols]

Er... Maybe I won't advance us just yet.. Upon loading the dynasty, I am shown that we are in the coach changes stage all of a sudden, and players on my team are totally out of whack. My starting OL are all rated 40, players are missing, etc.

Should I advance and see what happens?

[Julio Riddols]

Well I reloaded the dynasty and everything looked fine, so I have now advanced us to week 5. We'll try and get it knocked out by 5/24. Let me know if you see anything weird with the file.

[Julio Riddols]

I played my game vs Texas A&M and barely escaped with a one point win. We had to score in the final seconds to take it, and they nearly returned the ensuing kickoff for a TD, then completed the hail mary for a score.. Except their guy came down out of bounds. About as close of a call as possible.

[Kodos]

We whipped USF, even with our high-rated QB out for most of the game with a concussion.

[CU Tiger]

Ready to advance.

Really cool recruiting battle shaped up for a stud QB/ATH between me and UTSA. Everyone else is locked out and we are both all in so I dont feel bad talking about it. UTSA has a slight lead (170 points) but I can close by 10 per week. UTSA gets the first visit I get the last. So in a couple weeks we will know whether UTSA gets the QB or if we will battle to the end and hope for a (likely) last week flip visit.


Then in other recruiting news/weirdness, the other recruit I was chasing for my QB take in case I lose to UTSA visited another school last week and locked me out. No worries I broke the lock nd zoomed up to 2nd. Only after the lock pick aall his visits are now scheduled (they were not showing befoe the lock pick) so here I sit 2nd and most bonus points for an 80+ guy but I cant get a visit. All I can do is stay close and hope to kill in offseason. uhh yuk.

[Grammaticus]

Looks like everyone is ready to advance.

[Julio Riddols]

Will move us forward in the morning. Keeping an excellent pace, fellas.

[Julio Riddols]

I don't know how we always get these CPU teams that are somehow ranked but have a record of something like 1-3 or whatever.

Anyway, we started out down 28-14 against Notre Dame before rattling off 35 unanswered and finishing strong with a 63-35 win. The run game was good, but the pass game was even better, as my perpetually cold QB found his touch somewhat and had a strong game overall with 300 yards and 4 scores. TE Gatewood had a bit of a breakout game this week and we had something like 12 or 15 kids visiting so hopefully this results in a cascade of commitments.

[CU Tiger]

Hey guys just a quick heads up.

A while (march/april) back I was a hold up a bunch while my Godfather/mentor/uncle was very ill. At one point they had brought hospice in and the family had gathered to pay their last respects etc. Well inexplicably he made a dramatic tun and things were really pointing in the right direction.

He was dismissed from the hospital and we had placed him in an intermediate term rehab facility where he had regained his ability to walk and transfer himself from bed to wheelchair and was making great progress. We had a meeting scheduled for Tuesday with the medical team to discuss end game strategies as it related to him moving back home and out of treatment.

Well last night he passed. Alone. And without any spectacular event. Simply ate dinner and laid down to rest around 7pm and they couldnt wake him for his meds at 9pm. Only 59.

So the next few days for me are...unknown right now.

I know Ill be home tonight and if my mind is right ill try to get both leagues up to date.

[Julio Riddols]

Take care of you first, man. If you find the time and desire to play and it helps then go for it, but we're in no hurry. All the best to your family, and sorry to hear this. Keep your head up.

[CU Tiger]

I will get this game played tonight. Just got recruiting done. Its going to be a big week for us. Expecting as many as 5 commits with 8 major targets visiting and we lead for all 8.

[Julio Riddols]

Here's hoping for some good fortune to shine on you, even if it comes in the form of bits and bytes.

[CU Tiger]

Are we ready to go?

[Kodos]

Last I checked, Macro needed to play.

[Julio Riddols]

Yeah, I think we're just waiting on one.

[MacroGuru]

Game coming this morning.
