What is your personal NCAA "ritual"

[Acc23]

The day before it releases I cram on the previous game. Started in 2004 when I played NCAA 04 until 5 in the morning on my old gamecube.

Order Phil Steele magazine, check OS daily, pre-order game, put one week annual leave in from work.

Reading OS (which is new to my routine. 1st year on the forum. Finally found college football nerds & fanatics like myself), figuring out which team(s) I want to play as in dynasty, look at in game screens & uniform shots, reedit my list of schools to play as, edits my rosters and players, look at which schools are at the bottom of the ranking lists to add to which schools to improve, buy a bag of chips, a 12 pack of beer, and play the game until my eyes hurt

I buy both Phil and Athlon. Get it at midnight, play til daybreak and then go to bed.

hey yragha, yeah I do recall you invited me back but we had moved our league on to Xbox 360! Grandpa gamers is still going on but i don't know how much of a league it is, it's just Mike and myself, LOL.. We got tired of having to cajole everyone to play so we just decided to have us run a league ourselves.
