stolenbike dynasty

hahahah a rod and buffalo

well with my long weekend consumed watching white girls crank that soulja boy i skimmed through the regular season, playing half the plays and the other half using super sim. It was actually pretty fun. Plus in this 1st year of Dynasty my focus is on recruiting Coach Sanchez’s 1st class. Here are the results:

won 28-24 vs. Rice (played the whole 4th quarter, it was nuts)
won 21-16 at Tulane
won 30-17 vs. Southern Miss
loss 21-45 at Central Florida

In the games I tested out Cals, South Carolina and Florida’s playbook, i think I’m going to recruit players that will fit the Florida playbook.

the loss against UCF kept me out of the Top 25 & Fred Rouse got injured and will be out for the year, but hey UTEP is 10-2 and will be facing Memphis in the CUSA Championship. And if we win that game, look who we’ll be playing in the Liberty Bowl

wow!!!!!!!!

Early Commits So far

Terrence Tatum TE Humble, TX - 4 STAR, #9TE, Houston Area star
Michael Pitts DE Robstwon, TX - 4 STAR, #3 JUCO DE, 4.69 wht!
Troy Vickers QB Dickinson, TX - 3 STAR, #37 QB, #8 in TX, another Houston Area star
Ed Morgan CB Aldine, TX - 3 STAR, #34 CB, 4.39 Houston Area again
Nick O’Brien C Farmer’s Branch, TX - 2 STAR, Bench 420, Dallas Area player

Looks like most of my recruits were influenced by UTEP’s victories against SMU and Houston, as there are no players from West Texas, however there are 3 players from the Houston area and one so far from Dallas

go Miners

okay, changing my mind again but this time I am sticking with the 9-1-5. (I mean I spent 30 minutes on my fancy new banner). flirted with FSU and USC, but now after a couple games and my new sliders i’m ready to continue the Sanchez legacy from NCAA 07 into NCAA 08.

so i played my first game with my new fancy heisman sliders (believe or not its easier than AA, plus gameplay is more balanced and realistic), and it was a back and forth match between 5-2 Houston (UTEP was 6-1). Anyways the miners came out on top 31-24, with Cali born QB Brandis Dew (wearing coach Sanchez’s #7) rushing in for a TD with a minute left to go

here are the results so far from Year 1. the Houston game is the only game I played on Hesiman, while the others were played with a mix of Varsity, AA and the new fancy super sim option. my only loss was a tough match to Texas Tech where they threw for over 500 yards on me; proving that i need to recruit as many DBs as possible to handle teams that have mostly 4 and 5 wr sets.

results:

won 24-17 vs New Mexico
loss 24-29 at Texas Tech
won 31-14 at New Mexico State
won 24-21 vs Florida International
won 27-14 at SMU
won 41-7 vs Tulsa
won 27-7 vs East Carolina
won 31-24 vs Houston

on D FS Quentin Demps has saved my ass on several occasions, he looks to be the be the only player on the team who will get drafted in madden and he leads the team in INTs with 6 and is 2nd in team tackles with 52. He’s the heart of my D and it sucks that he’s a SR

offense has been a bit sketchy but i have a lot of talent to work with. Dew who has been converted to DE in real life, is my QB, but he has already thrown 13 INTs. If not for the high profile transfers to bail Dew out, UTEP’s 7-1 record would be much worse. My WRs are led by Florida State transfers Lorne Sam SR and Fred Rouse SO and the star of the offense has been Arizona Wildcat transfer RB Marcus Thomas. Thomas is a SR, but Oregon transfer JR Terrell Jackson has been a decent spell so far

Douchewraps midseason Stats
- Dew 80-150 1405 yards 12 TDs 13 INTs; 140 yards rush 1 TD
- Thomas 843 yards 10 TDs
- Sam 29-572-4
- Rouse 21-368-4

loving the transfers on the team but the heart of Dynasty is with recruited players and after the Houston win, 4 star TE Terrence Tatum of Humble, TX hard commited to UTEP. The Houston area player was my #1 target and he cancelled a visit to Texas Tech in week 12. He was sold on staying in the state of Texas and on Coach Sanchez. Most of my targets are 3 and 2 star players, i have two more 4 star JUCOs on my list, but they are leaning towards other schools

so it may have taken until october, but things look like they are back to normal. now only if some people could stop playing Halo 3 and get back to their dynasties. hopefully with no more personal dramas and perhaps only my FIFA franchise getting in the way, UTEP wil lbe headed towards a BCS Bowl
