This year is just for shits and giggles pretty much right?

I think I am going to try out some new playbooks. Anyone got some good ones? I have used the same playbook for both dynasties every season.

Yeah, pretty much. I know that I won't be recruiting after this offseason. I'm going to try and cram all 70 players onto the depth chart too.

I'll be out of town from Thursday to Sunday evening. I'm going to the in-laws. They have an HDTV, so I'm going to bring the PS3. I want to see what the PS3 looks like in beautiful high def. They also have wireless, so I'll try to get on, but there's no guarantee I'll be able to.

I am out of town Monday June 1st - 5th on business. Fly back to OKC, immediately drive to Tulsa then to Springfield, MO on work for the weekend. Returning home Sunday night/Monday morning. Then the wife has an appointment to have our third child either Tuesday or Thursday. But the in-laws will be here, which means plenty of PS3 time! I can probably stop home that Friday morning and get my bowl game in real quick, will supersim the majority of it as long as I'm winning.

My wife could throw a wrinkle into all of this if she gets all selfish and goes into labor between now and then.

I'm going to try and get us back online tonight. So make sure that you're all setup for offseason recruiting. If anyone else is going to be out of town, let me know.

I'm am currently working on getting some teams moved around so everyone in the Big Ten plays each other. Since everyone in the Pac-10 already plays each other, I will just have human conference games this season in order to get this season finished before EA takes the servers down, and hopefully the conference champs will play in the NCG again or the Rose Bowl.

I don't know if or when EA would take the servers down. I would assume that there would be a little bit of overlap between '09 and '10, but I don't want to take that risk.

I actually have fallen in love with the Alabama playbook. Alot of one back 2TE sets, a couple of I Formation and then the rest shotgun. If you have some good TEs, you can take advanatage of this playbook. Then again I am a bit weird with how I call offensive plays.

I use "Balanced" playbook. Single back, I formation, offset I, Pro, Wing, Flex and nice Shotgun. Good balance of inside and outside runs, short and deep throws. I have played with this since I think season 2.

I did a couple of sims to the preseason, and the conference schedules always turned out the same. Since there are only three active Big Ten memebers, Purdue was playing only one human conference game, and so was Illinois. Both were practically guaranteed wins against MSU.

I decided to make Ohio State available, along with Penn State and Michigan. The drawing for Ohio State went as follows:

BN27 - decided to let someone else have a shot at tOSU.
Olaf - already tOSU in another dynasty, decided to stay at UCLA
Piney - 95% certain to go to tOSU, pending look at the roster.
WOOD - next up if Piney decides to stay at Oregon.
fanatic - moving to Penn State unless Ohio State stays open.
Basebuck
Whobe
Me - Moving to Michigan. I wasn't in the drawing, but would gladly take tOSU if the impossible happens and no one takes tOSU.

Penn State is going to be run by fanatic, and I am moving to Michigan. This was done in order to have a fun, competitive conference race in the Big Ten, with 4 fairly evenly rated teams, all playing each other. Illinois, Penn State, Ohio State, and Michigan all play each other this season. If 'mania makes it back in time to play, then Wisconsin will only have 2 conference game. I forget which teams they'll play though.

Like I posted earlier, I won't be setting up Pac-10 Big Ten matchups during the season, because the extra human games might slow us down too much to finish the season. As it is, everyone in the dynasty will have 3 human opponents in-conference, and the conference champions will hopefully meet in a bowl game.

I'll post something here if I can or can't get my PS3 online at my in-laws. If I can't, don't worry about waiting for me. I already signed everybody who'll see playing time next season. The rest is just depth. I should be home before we cut players. If not, UCLA will have something like 10 RBs. Leave only the fastest four. They'll be a true freshman, a true sophomore, and two RS freshmen. That should be enough to get my roster to 70.

I simmed through the offseason to see how this team will play. I'm really starting to like Texas' playbook. They have a lot of good running and option plays out of the shotgun. I'm going to look and around some more to try and find a playbook with some good two-back sets.
