    I will be an easy mark the first season (if that TCU game happens, I'd bet all my moneys on Jake even at -70). Five interceptions against Duke last night does not bode well for my knowing how not to throw like a spaz ability.

    Can anybody help enlighten me about tackling in this game? For some reason I am missing every tackle I try.

    Are you speed bursting? It's going to cause you to miss more tackles than it helps you make.

    Having the same problem too. It takes 2-3 guys for me to bring a player down. I'm also horrible in pass coverage. Not sure if it's because of the team I'm playing with in my offline dynasty or I'm just that bad.

    It also seems like the CPU's players react a hell of a lot better to the ball or to blocking than my players do.


    And I just glanced briefly at recruits in the online dynasty. There are not a lot of players above two stars that want to come to Washington State. I'll be bringing up the bottom I'm sure.

    I'm ready when you guys are. Accepted the invite and finalized my roster.

    Sounds like everyone is ready except for adding the user games to the skeds. I'll plug away at that later tonight and probably hit start the season, so we can start playing games tomorrow.

    I'm guessing almost everyone is going to have a user game in week one, since there isn't usually conference games to start.

    I also gave everyone one neutral site game.

    ECU will face UAB at Ladd-Peebles
    TCU and Penn State are part of the Cowboy Classic at Jerry World.
    San Diego State is facing Fresno State at UCLA.


    I wasn't sure if everyone was ready or not, so I didn't hit start. But I will look to do that sometime Sunday morning.

    Jerry World! That will help with recruiting. Brutal start to the year for me. When is a good time for you, Rumple?

    Took Penn State on a trip to The Swamp this morning for a little scrimmage.

    Walked out of there with a 14-9 win.

    Held Florida to 1 of 6 on third-down conversions and only allowed three field goals.

    Other than a missed field goal late (to see how kicking felt) and an interception, I played clean.

    I will not be back to my place until pretty late tonight but am available all afternoon tomorrow, Rumple. Btw I am on central time.

    Sounds like we can potentially get Week 1 out of the way quickly.
