Re: Mediocrity Gets You Pears (Michigan State)

And all the opening stuff is done and out of the way for now, good stuff. Anyways, this dynasty hasn't officially started yet I just wanted to get everything posted and also continue to get people to post CAP's in this thread. If anyone wants a CAP to follow in this dynasty, just fill that out and I'll work you in.

I'm no good with graphics, so this will be pretty basic with mainly screenshots and videos from the game to go with the recaps. I chose Michigan State because they have cool uniforms, a cool helmet, and a decent but not great team.

And before anyone asks, Mediocrity Gets You Pears is the name of a song I heard once. It's not that great of a song, and I have absolutely no idea what it means, but I chose at it as my title because I could think of nothing better to use. It has a nice little ring to it too, so that's good.

With that said, on with the show!

PS. Remember to post here to get CAPs in the game.
PSS. Really remember, because I never use the create a recruit feature and it's actually pretty cool.
PPSS. Thanks for reading~!

Against Me song? They're a great band (and so is Rancid). I'll definitely be following.

Yup, that's the one. Great band, and Rancid too. I'm used to just saying "some band or song" about music I like because nobody I know really listens to the same stuff as me. Like I said, it has a nice ring to it too. Good to have you following, especially since you have a great taste in music too!

Also wanted to note that this dynasty will start on Saturday. I won't start the season until then, so anyone else who wants a CAP to be in the game just go to the link mentioned in the OP or my sig. So far we have a massive turn out of two! (including myself!)

Thanks for reading and all.

Good to have you following buddy. I'm not an MSU fan myself, but I always root for them most of the time.

Last day to do any CAP's guys, as I'll be starting the season tomorrow.

Re: Mediocrity Gets You Pears (Michigan State)

You made it in buddy, no worries. You can check up on your guy on the first page as everything progresses. Anyways, CAP's are officially closed for season 1 as I've started the season. Although we only got two guys other than me in on it, I'll start it up again for season 2. Maybe we'll have a bit more interest in the dynasty by that point.

The first game will most likely be up tomorrow. The plan was to do it today, but I was more busy today then I thought I would be and with Oregon/Stanford and UFC on Fox tonight I probably won't want to play any video games tonight either.

Thanks for reading everyone!
