    I don't think your offense played that bad against FSU, the 4 turnovers were bad obviously but the numbers aside from that were decent.

      From this video... it's towards the very end but the all these bad lip reading videos are gold.



      EDIT: Now that I watch this video again, I've decided that next season one of my created recruits will be named "Booty Febacca"

        This is really good stuff! Please keep up the good work! I love the humorous dynasties, only to find that most of them don’t last long. I’m hoping you’re in this for the long haul!

          Funny that you bring this up... as I was just coming here to post that I am having technical issues with the old PS3. I'm not quite sure on the root cause, but I am getting horrible frame rate hits and lag... not that the PS3 version of this game has ever really ran super smoothly... but we're talking fps drops to probably the single digits here and there... and probably an average of 20-25fps after the snap. Technically it's still playable... but not enjoyable. It doesn't appear to be running hot and the fan sounds fine... so not really sure. I am hoping it won't be too big of a deal to source a used PS3 locally and cheaply.

          As far as my long term plans, I don't have any roadmap or anything. In the past with rebuild dynasties in this game, I typically retire them once I win a national title... so that's the ultimate goal. But in this dynasty with coaching progression set to slowest... where it will take forever to get the benefits of the recruiting perks... that could take decades. lol.

          I will say that the humorous stuff will probably start to fade into more of an occasional thing as time goes on... as by season 2 or 3 at best, I'd likely just start repeating the same shtick if I tried to make every Top 25 update or scouting report into some goofy SNL skit. There is only so much material to be mined. So going forward, I still plan on keeping a humorous slant to the writing style, but probably won't have as many posts where I'm outright going for a gag... like bagging on Corso in the podcast skit.

              Amazing that we still hold on to our old consoles to play one or two games. I know I have two 360s and they are only still around for two reasons: NCAA 14 and College Hoops 2k8. Here to hoping you find a cheap PS3 near by!

                I hope you can get the other PS3 and everything works out! And no worries about the drop off in humor; by the time you’ve turned things around, we’ll all be invested and rooting hard once it’s time to get down to business!

                  The local Gamestops and Disc Replays open in about an hour, so I will start making phone calls. But I am the same way with the old consoles... and still kick myself for not getting this game on the 360 back in the day, all the EA Sports games from that gen looked and played better on the 360. But a co-worker sold me the PS3 version for $20 a few months after it came out and I'm a cheap bastard who can't turn down a good deal.

                  I brought the old beast into work with me this morning and I'll give it a good cleaning... but if I had to make a guess... it's the blu-ray drive that's going bad. Thankfully the disc itself still looks about as good as they day I bought it, so I think I am safe there. The bummer of the whole thing is that the console barely has any miles on it. It probably only has 30-40 hours of non-NCAA14 gaming on it, spent most of it's life as the basement man cave blu-ray / netflix player. But I guess after 8 years or however long it's been, a failure isn't too unreasonable.

                    The main area where I'll be keeping things fun is with Moonboots, as I think he'll be a solid source of silliness. I have a few more side characters percolating in the oven that I'll roll out as the season goes along. I'm going to keep things with the HC/OC/DC relatively straight, they just want to win. I think Coach Nonek will always drop some ridiculous obscure college where he coached in the 80s... but they will remain grounded... and I'll probably play it straight with most of the players as well. Niagara will be a place where the misfits are embraced, so some humor can naturally spring from that... but I want to root for these guys as well, so I probably won't have them do anything too outlandish.

                      Good news! After a partial teardown and thorough cleaning, looks like the old girl is performing at an acceptable level.

                      The main heatsink and fan area wasn't as dusty as I was expecting but inside the blu-ray drive itself was actually more dust than I was expecting.... and now I'm pretty sure dust in there was the culprit. As the drive seemed to be seeking a lot prior to the cleaning and those seeks seemed to line up with the stuttering.

                      So I was able to get the UMass game played and recorded. I've got some IRL stuff to do with my kids (damn kids, always crampin my style!) but I'll probably have some kind of scouting / pre-game thing on UMass posted later tonight and then the game summary stuff done sometime tomorrow or Thursday... then it's on to the home opener at the Greater Niagara Senior Recreation and Activity Center, Formerly Rick Moranis High School! (or GNSRACFRMHS for short).

                              As a former Minuteman myself I can confirm we are just that bad at football.

                                You one-upped me, I didn't even know they were a school! I just made up something that sounded obscure to replace "FCS-East".
