Because of the move, the visiting hours are limited so I was able to get recruiting done.
Things have sadly taken a turn for the worst. She was trying dialysis but she doesn't seem to want to eat very much and has refused a feeding tube. At this point, we now we just have a few more days with her and she will more than likely pass by Thurs or Fri by my guess. I will try and get my stuff done, but I don't know what kind of schedule we will have in terms of events or what will happen with family that will be at my house.
Just asking for everyone to keep their thoughts and prayers with my extended family as we pretty much have to let life take its course.

weiser I know a video game is the farthest thing you need to be thinking about, since you were patient with my situation then you let me know if you need extra time or adv on schedule
Sorry I'm basically a no show this season. Haven't been on the PS3 much and haven't been on NCAA at all. Guess this is what tends to happen near the end of a game cycle.
Hopefully no one minds and I won't get voted off Slow-Moving Dynasty Island when NCAA12 drops.
UGH!!!! Minn loses there stud running back Edwards midway through the 2nd quarter...for 8 weeks!!!! out for the season. Ugh.....!!!!! Being a Sr he is out for the year, I seriously thought about starting over ....... thats the way it goes, this team went like Eds went and now hes out..We ll see how it goes...
Well the season's winding down so it's about time to see what the future may hold. I'll go in order of BCS ranking.
#1 Minnesota
Current Record: 9-0
Games Remaining:
vs Michigan State (5-3)
@ Iowa (4-5)
vs Washington State (1-8)
Probable Final Record 12-0
Probable Bowl Game: BCS National Championship Game vs Arkansas or Cincinnati
With a closing shedule as soft as charmin, The Gophers are probably going to find themselves in the BCS National Championship Game. Should they somehow slip up, which is inconceivable at this point, even with the loss of their leading rusher, they would find themselves in the Rose Bowl most likely against Oregon or USC.
#2 Arkansas
Current Record: 10-0
Games Remaining:
vs Mississippi State (5-5)
@ LSU (8-1)
Possible SEC Championship Game vs Florida or Georgia
Probable Final Record: 13-0
Probable Bowl Game: BCS National Championship Game vs Minnesota or Sugar Bowl vs Toledo, Notre Dame, or Colorado
Arkansas' last game @ LSU is monstrous for both the SEC and National Title race. If they lose to LSU they'll most likely find themselves still in a BCS game, just not The Game. If they beat LSU then they face either Florida or Georgia with a berth in the BCS title game, most like against Minnesota, on the line.
#3 Cincinnati
Current Record: 9-0
Games Remaining:
@ USF (4-4)
vs West Virginia (7-2)
vs Colorado (9-1)
Probable Final Record: 12-0
Probable Bowl Game: Fiesta Bowl vs Colorado, Nebraska, Texas or Toledo or Sugar Bowl vs Toledo, LSU, or Arkansas
The Bearcats desperately need an Arkansas loss while not slipping up themselves in three tough games to close the season if they want a shot at the national championship. If they don't get their shot, a trip to either the Fiesta or Sugar Bowl will be of some consolation.
#5 Toledo
Current Record: 9-0
Games Remaining:
vs NIU (6-2)
@ Bowling Green (3-6)
@ NC State (4-5)
Probably MAC Championship Game vs NIU
Probable Final Record: 13-0
Probable Bowl Game: Orange Bowl vs Miami, Sugar Bowl vs Arkansas, LSU, Georgia, or Florida, Fiesta Bowl vs Texas, Nebraska, or Colorado.
The only roadblocks between Toledo and a return to a BCS game after a 1 year hiatus are a tough home game vs NIU and a visit to Raleigh to face NC State. In all likelihood, the Rockets would then have to beat NIU again in the MAC Championship game to punch their ticket to possibly the Orange, Sugar, or Fiesta Bowl.
#8 Colorado
Current Record: 9-1
Games Remaining:
vs Nebraska (8-1)
@ Cincinnati (9-0)
Possible Big XII Championship Game vs Texas
Probable Final Record: 11-2
Probable Bowl Game: Orange Bowl vs Miami or Toledo, Sugar Bowl vs Toledo, Arkansas, LSU, Georgia, or Florida, Fiesta Bowl rematch with Cincy (unlikely but you just never know), or Cotton Bowl vs any of the aforementioned SEC teams.
Nobody has more on the line in their next 2 (or 3) games than Colorado. First, the must beat Nebraska to get to the Big XII title game, probably against Texas. Then they have to travel to Cincinnati. While this may seem to be an inconsequential, late season, out of conference game there's much more to it for the Buffs. They are currently #9 in the BCS and a loss at Cincy, who has National Title aspirations, coupled with any other loss and the Buffs will probably fall into a lower level Bowl game. The pressure is on in Boulder much as it was last season when CU crumbled in the face of a must win game much like this season's scenario. Adding even more pressure, I think CU beats Nebraska but falls to Cincinnati thus making the Big XII game extraordinarily important.
#9 New Mexico
Current Record: 8-1
Games Remaning:
@ Colorado State (3-7)
vs TCU (7-2)
@ Florida (7-2)
Probable Final Record: 11-1
Probable Bowl Game: Orange Bowl vs Miami or Toledo, Sugar Bowl vs Toledo, Cincinnati, Arkansas, LSU, Georgia, or Florida, Fiesta Bowl vs Colorado, Nebraska, Texas, Cincinnati, or Toledo, or Las Vegas Bowl vs UCLA, Arizona, or Arizona State.
The Lobos will probably finish 11-1 but the games against TCU in Albuquerque and in the Swamp against Florida are scary. The UNM defense, which starts 3 freshmen and a juco transfer is a sieve and against higher level teams like the Horned Frogs and Gators that can be more than a little problematic. QB Tarean Austin's penchant for tipped ball INT's is a bit problematic as well. With Toledo seemingly locking up a BCS bid it would appear the UNM could possibly make it two non-AQ schools in the BCS if they can win out. But any type of slip up could find the Lobos in the Las Vegas Bowl against a Pac-10 foe, most likely UCLA or Arizona State.
NC State
Current Record: 4-5
Games Remaining:
vs Texas
vs Maryland
vs Toledo
Probable Final Record: 6-6
Probable Bowl Game: Music City Bowl vs Ole Miss, Tennessee, or South Carolina, Meineke Car Care Bowl vs West Virginia, Pitt, or Syracuse
The Wolfpack has a nice schedule to end the season with three home games. Unfortunately two of them are against Texas and Toledo. I think the Pack can beat Texas and Maryland but will probably fall to Toledo thus setting themselves up for a trip to either the Music City Bowl or the Meineke Car Care Bowl.
Washington State
Current Record: 1-8
Games Remaining:
@ Arizona State
vs Washington
@ Minnesota
Probable Final Record: 1-11
Probable Bowl Game: none
At this point, it appears that Wazzu is playing (or not playing) out the string and their final games will only serve to pad the records of their opponents.

Best way to reach me is thru the Playstation network: x-_OutRage_-x
looks like maybe the PSN will come back up this weekend, is there still interest to complete the season or should be scrap it until the new game drops?
Whatever you want to do is fine with me. If you decide to shut it down, does anyone know if it's possible to download an online dynasty and play it as an offline one?
