[BigDPW]

Sah-weet!!! Thanks EF27...

[BigDPW]

Are Mike and Jets around to draft this weekend?

[Grammaticus]

Phew, the random gods suck.

[Mike1409]

I pick NORTH CAROLINA

[JetsIn06]

RUTGERS!!!

[Ironhead]

Somewhere Logan is already plotting revenge on JetsIn06.

Sorry Logan.

[DeToxRox]

Drama unfolding already.

[DeToxRox]

I am not sure who I want to even take yet. This is going to be tricky.

I know exactly which team I want at this point. KWhit seems like the wildcard on whether they fall to #6 though.

[BigDPW]

Anyone looking to trade up???

LOL

[BigDPW]

With the 3rd pick in the EBFL Draft BigDPW selects...

The North Carolina State Wolfpack!

[DeToxRox]

And just like that the ACC is one away from being out of play.

[Logan]

I QUIT THIS STUPID LEAGUE!!!





Please someone leave me a spot in the Big East so I can destroy Jets. I really don't mind, I'll obviously be doing my own dynasty with RU so playing with another team will be fun too.

[RedKingGold]

I was going to say, perhaps we were a little hasty in adding a 4th conference. Perhaps opening an additional spot in the other three leagues would be a better call?

[KWhit]

I'll take Pitt.

[Ironhead]

Son of a....KWhit is on my list now. lol

Good pick.

I am cool with 3 conferences... I don't think we ever really voted again for the 4 conference idea anyway... But either way I am happy that I get to run with my Wolfpack!

[Logan]

Pitt shouldn't even be an eligible team. With real life head coaching removed from the picture in a video game, they should be like an 87.

[DeToxRox]

All my teams are in jepoardy now. FTW.

[DeToxRox]

Either way with the conferences, options are limited at a point. I just feel like the more options are four conferences.

[wade moore]

Sorry - didn't realize were were going at a screaming pace weeks before the game would come out.

*shurg*

Anyway. I guess I'll take UVA, but I have no idea what the teams are like so I think it's crazy to be picking teams now. I have zero idea if they fit what I want.

The point I tried making in one of my posts about this is the following...by selecting UVA, you've completed the ACC league, and BC, Wake, and Duke can't be used by anyone else. I believe (and correct me if I'm wrong) that we decided people could switch their teams once the game comes out. So if you don't like UVA, you could switch to one of those teams available in the division (or work out a swap with someone else). Say you get the game and you decide UVA isn't for you...you then can mess around with those 3 teams to see which you would rather play with.

Now let's say we waited until the game came out. Are you really going to give all 22 teams a shot to see which you like best? And even then, you have to worry about someone picking (in your case) potentially your four most preferred teams, leaving you with your 5th option. What you would probably do (not trying to put words in your mouth, but for purposes of the example) is figure out a few teams you would like to try out, play a lot with them, and decide which you would go for. But then again, someone might grab them before you have a chance.

My point is that this method allows you a much more direct way to see if a team "fits" you.

I am pretty sure that UVA runs a 3-4 defense and uses primarily a single back offense from my memory having played them so many times.

[DeToxRox]

Like Logan said, this is not final by any means. We still may switch to a 3 conference system if people hate their teams and see teams in full conferences they like. For now it is four conferences and we'll play it by ear.

This is nothing official, just a way to claim a team you may covet and go from there.

Picking a team is not even required right now. It is okay to pass.

[DeToxRox]

I'll kill Ironhead or Logan if they pick my two top choices.

[Logan]

Ok well in that case, if we pick your top two choices, please kill Ironhead.

[Ironhead]

After careful and complex negotiations, mainly geared towards death avoidance, this train is station bound.

College Station that is.

Texas A&M

Looks like it's time to remember how to run the option.

[Logan]

I'll be posting shortly...just want to give Ironhead a chance to see a PM.

[DeToxRox]

Okay, well, I'll get one of the two teams I covet. Now F you Logan in advance.

[Logan]

I'm going to throw a curveball, pass up South Florida and try a different challenge. I'll go with Oklahoma State, although I don't know a thing about them.

Did anyone see my original post?

[Ironhead]

Come on DeToxRox...take Colorado. We dare you.

[DeToxRox]

I was coveting USF, but fuck Logan and fuck Ironhead.

Consider your challenge met!

Colorado and the Darrell Scott express say hello.

[DeToxRox]

CU's 09 schedule

Week 1: vs. Colorado St.
Week 2: at #3 Florida St.
Week 3: at #10 USC
Week 4: vs. #19 Georgia
Week 5: at Oklahoma St.
Week 6: vs. Texas A&M
Week 7: at #6 Texas
Week 8: vs. Kansas
Week 9: at Kansas St.
Week 10: vs. Missouri
Week 11: at Iowa St.
Week 12: Off
Week 13: vs. Nebraska
Week 14: Off

The bye weeks are in bold

[Logan]

Yeah, no offense at all to Jets and KWhit, but I figured it would be a blast to go up against you two.

Consider this an official invite to Jets though for a non-conference matchup.

[Logan]

My best player, P#11, says he's gonna coffin-corner the shit outta you.

Don't forget daddy's little boy at QB.

When we do recruiting make sure when I beat you for your coveted players that IMetTrentGreen comes into this thread and defends you by saying it's just like real life because I bought my players.

Oh, I know what the Code man can do. When he finishes the year with 12 passing attempts and 2100 yards on the ground, you will know too who his daddy is.

Ditto. I am happy to be in a conference full of all out shit talk. It makes things that much better.

[Grammaticus]

Well, looks like I get shafted with either Kentucky or Louisville. Heck, I'm not even sure I know how to spell Louisville.

I think you jokers who voted for the big east should have to take a team there.

Well, we are definately on our way to getting things wrapped up. I wonder what it would have been like if we stuck to bottom tier conferences? Something like Sunbelt, MAC and whatever else sucks.

[DeToxRox]

Remember, Gram, nothing is final. If the last four guys decide they detest their teams we can see if three conferences works better. For now four is ideal but by no means is this the be all end all.

[RedKingGold]

Looks like we're in for a wait. cmp hasn't been to FOFC since June 26th.

South Florida is a great team to play with in this game. The only reason I went away from them is because I know nothing about the Big XII and I think it'll be an interesting experience. But with USF, you get a pro stadium to play in, a big-time dual threat QB in Matt Grothe, a gamebreaking RB in Mike Ford, and maybe the best DE in the country in George Selvie.

Picking a team is not even required right now. It is okay to pass.

Instead of having 4 teams that I can't pick from, I will have somewhere around 18 teams I can't pick from. There are 12 people in this league. If I am the only one that doesn't like my team, I get a whopping what - 3 other teams to choose from? If one other person decides they don't like there's AND they're in another conference I get a few more to pick from.

This method SEVERELY limits my ability to try a few teams and pick from actually playing them in game. Unless a large number of people decide to switch (not likely) then my options are limited and i'm flying blind. Would I try all 22 teams? No, but I'd have more freedom to check out several teams to find one that fits my style rather than being shackled to a few teams.

[Logan]

See my post in the pick teams or wait thread. If you feel like this will seriously hamper your enjoyment of a league that's purely for fun, I'm sure we can find a replacement for you, and no hard feelings at all.

[BigDPW]

A couple of things:

Do we thing cmp is going to show up anytime soon?

Why are so many people avoiding the SEC? I think that it is golden that all the teams are still available in that league...

Oh and Mike - The Wolfpack is on the prowl and ready to rip through Kenan like you have never seen before!!! The Tarholes are gonna feel the pain...

[Ironhead]

I think most people are staying away from the SEC because they don't want to get mauled the first year or two of conference play. The perks would obviously come in recruiting. I gave Arkansas a decent look but as a Falcons fan the thought of having even a digital, unnamed version of Petrino as coach made me want to vomit.

Okay, I really didn't want to do this but. since your situation is bothering you....I'll take Virginia off your hands and you can have my pick in the draft. How does that sound?
