Give it a second chance. I fully expected to shelve it with the release of ESPN, but instead I found myself actually playing it more. With the right sliders and a lot of practice to overcome the drops, it can be very playable, and dare I say, a lot of fun.

What kind of sliders are you using? I've tried various sliders and I have seen none that actually helped the passing game for me or the CPU.

I'm online in the DSP room if anyone wants to get a game in. It's about 10:00 PM ET and I'll hang around for about fifteen minutes.

Forgot to mention that I can't find my headset (two-year olds) so I have no voice at the moment.

I've just got to validate that you're the captain, and I haven't been online this afternoon/evening until now. Will validate you now. Everyone is now "official".

ALSO, it's probably smart to set up an NCAA gamenight. How does Monday or Thursday sound?

A gamenight is probably a must. I'm also having problems finding folks. Thursday probably is better since isn't there still the Monday night TOCA races?

Then Thursday it is. I don't know if I'll be online tonight, but this is when we should have our gamenights from now on. Does a start time of 9pm sound good?

Well 9pm (EST I assume) is a bit early for me as I am still putting my daughter to bed. But I will do my best to get there as soon as I can.`

Still feeling like crap today (stayed home from work) and likely won't play tonight. I'll be away from XBL next week so I'll have to get the games in after that.

Got disconnected in two games against fsquid tonight, first game after one play was run after the opening kickoff and the second game with my Panthers up 10-7 with two minutes to go in the fourth and fsquid's Memphis team driving inside my 20 on their way to at least a game tying field goal. The game was lag free until the fourth quarter, this was my first try at NCAA online with Xbox, hope it isn't always this laggy. I had better connections in last years game on PS2 when I was still on 56k. Gotta get up early and don't have time to try any more games tonight. :(

vader, it was my internet connection. It went out the first time for 10-15 minutes and then we tried to play a second time, it went out again and is still out. It was my side, not the servers. If you want the win, let me know and I'll put it up there, you deserved it anyways.

Danimal- you're Bama right?

I may go out to the bars tonight, but if I'm home, we can have a good TN-Bama hatefest. I think I added you to my friend list, so I'll look for you if I'm on.
