Well if we need to be non AQ coordinators I could handle using Tulsa (don't start).
I guess we need to vote on the rules or whatnot...
I would like a $10 buy in with the race to the ND HC job being rewarded by the whole pot.
I'll also gladly play for free.

If we really wanted to deal with this issue of conferences and fairness, we could make a rule that you are limited to non-BCS schools 3 star and under.

(just a thought.)


I like that idea and I'm already playing as a non BCS team anyway.

Sept. 10 at Tulane*
Sept. 17 OKLAHOMA STATE (YIKES)
Sept. 24 at Boise State (YIKES)
Oct. 1 NORTH TEXAS
Oct. 15 UAB*
Oct. 22 at Rice*
Oct. 29 SMU*
Nov. 5 at UCF*
Nov. 12 MARSHALL*
Nov. 19 at UTEP*

If I win out I will easily be in a BCS game or possibly the NC.
Being that I already chose Oregon State, I would do be Tulsa if there was switching to be done.
I am no coward. I won't shy away from a hard schedule.


What is the decision on difficulty level? All American with custom sliders?

Or just have nobody take the ND job. Once that gets taken it would be a dynasty killer. And from my expiriences playing for money is a bad bad bad idea. Just saying

I think the playing for money thing would have to be unanimous. I would hate to keep someone from playing if they're uncomfortable with gambling. (I'm cool either way.)

I'm all for non-AQ coords 3 star or lower to start. No one gets to claim Notre Dame as their alma-mater. But just never picking ND? I'm not for that..it's a race for our dream job! That's what's cool about this.

(I'll take ECU if we're going down this route.)

Now I have to pick again from the 3 star toilet??? Come on!

Are we doing the AQ deal, or not? I say lets for now just pick a "backup" non-AQ and if we decide not to do it that way, stick with our first picks.

I'll take Nevada if we have to go Non-AQ.

Done.

Like I said, we can just discuss this. We still have 2 weeks at least till the rosters are released, plenty of time for tweaking.....(but I'm getting pretty excited!)

And are we in agreement that it should take a unanimous vote to put money down on this? I think that's fair.

Ok, I will pose the question.
does anyone care either way if we pay $10 to join or not?
I could care less either way.

Also, please state if you support starting out as a 3 star non AQ school.

I don't care about the buy-in.

And I'd be okay starting with a 3 star non-AQ.

I'd be fine either way on the pay in...does seem like just one more thing that could complicate/slow this process down.

I make a motion that we:
1) Start out as a OC or a DC at a 3 star or less prestige school in a non AQ conference.
2) Eliminate any actual buy in. However, the winner of the "Race to Notre Dame" shall be rewarded with vbucks of an amount to be determined by the individuals rewarding the winner.

All in favor?

Could work. vBucks are free, but still have value so I'm fine with that.

I think it would be a longer dynasty (good thing) if we start at non-AQ schools so I would be in favor of this I suppose.

Once again, I've got Ball State. :)

Aye.

Like I said I don't care about the buy in, I'll do it but only one person had to say they didn't like it and it's out.

Totally in favor of the non-AQ.

Getting excited!

I'm going to be in Bend, OR for the weekend, so don't think I'm ignoring you guys!

That's 2 for 0 against

We can discuss starting out as a HC at a 1 star school if anyone would be interested in that.

thoughts?

I didn't count them.
when I return home from my vacation I will dig in and see unless you want to count them off the site. I believe there are 10-15 though.

Make that 3-0. I love a good wager, but it seems that it would just make things complicated. And the guys on here are probably serious enough players to stick with it.

As far as the "1 star" deal...I don't know....I say we either go with Non-AQ or our original idea. Let's not get crazy.

Sounds like it's pretty unanimous. No wager will be needed. But the first to the ND HC job will be given big time vbucks props!

Unless someone has an issue with choosing a 3 star or lower non AQ school to start out at as a coordinator, let's consider that a plan.

So, put
TheFlyingAlamo down for Tulsa!

Jughed...update the OP for our non aq teams if you would sir...

It's going to be a pleasure playing you guys leading into the season this fall!
it might be the liquor talking...but I think this is gonna be a good time and a great way to help us last til September.

I really dont feel like paying to play.

If we are taking Non AQ schools, I will take Fresno State.

I would be down with being the HC at a 1 star though.

Nothing special. Momentum thing is nice, but when they say there's no suction tackling they mean it. I ran so close to guys but it wasn't a tackle because of it. A lot more strafe will be needed, me thinks.

Everything looks the same though...or I'm just crazy.

Also, teambuilder is up... it's the same exact site as last year... they just updated the unis and teams...

NOTHING has been added. Still only four uni options...

:(


they did finally update NDs unis though, and it looks like they keep the old ones in which is good, gives us SOME variation at least

Playing right now...lighting and 3d grass are HUGE improvements.
Using Oregon...
Momentum is nice yeah.
I like the running...definite improvement there...

This dynasty should be a good time boys.
