What is your personal NCAA "ritual"

First player is always the starting quarterback for Michigan, so Chad Henne was the first player named for two or three years. Always get the game at midnight release. Since the local EB Games or Game Stops don't always show NCAA enough love to have a midnight release, I just go to Wal Mart. Head home, name a few teams, then hop online to play Yragha, one of my boyz from way back in NCAA 2004. Get in a couple of online games, then go to sleep. Get up the next day and it's just an online orgy against long-time rivals like Yragha, Roadhouse and a few other peeps from the former MaddenMania. I always do an extensive dynasty, so in the weeks leading up to release, I'll start getting graphics and preview stuff together for my 'nasty. Oh, and I've always taken a couple weeks of vacation to coincide with NCAA's release, so I can just indulge. I usually have a couple seasons of dynasty mode done by the time I get back to work.

One of my biggest annual rituals was eagerly anticipating BDawg's dynasty posts....I'm REALLY hoping his return to the forums is a sign he'll be back this year.

I love doing those dynasties. I sold my PS3 after going through some personal drama and needing the money. I am HOPING to buy another one in time for NCAA release and get back in the dynasty business.

Get the game at midnight every year. Go home unwrap the thing as fast as I can and play a game against my friends online who I just got the game with ( last year was awesome I won on a game winning WR screen for a TD in 2 OT). Wait until dKrause rosters come out and me and 4 other friends start our OD. BTW I put in my vacation week on the week this is released so I have all day every day of that week to play this game, I can't wait.

I'm sure with your dedicated following, you could set up a PayPal account and get enough donations to get you that PS3 in time. Might as well take advantage of people's good nature

Buy it, play it, go to bed. Yep then play non stop for days and days and weeks on end.

I always pick up a copy of Phil Steele's college football book.

I get the athlon college prevew and start putting the naming my team Im running with and then try to do the rest. But I stay on the game all day and night.

Now before you scream cheese...The idiot i was playing never double covered him so I just kept going to him. Most of it was YAC btw. And I ended up winning the game 52-50 or something so it wasn't running it up either. I didn't fight him kicking me out, it was pretty ridiculous. But the guy I played never doubled him so I felt he deserved it. Anyways, may want to recheck your local gamestops as most of them do midnight launches now.

Someone call my name? lol

And then I guess you should also recall I invited you back a bit later but you had moved to the XBOX I believe. Correct me if I'm wrong here.

You still doing the Old Grandpa's Gamers League (am I close here?).

What's a guy have to do here to get a smiley? Guess I'm not privileged enough because of my low post count.
