  1. It's a good idea to manually save after accomplishing anything meaningful. This has saved me a lot of time.
  2. I don't like the idea of conference autobids because some teams have much easier roads to winning their conference due to scheduling and what division they are or arent in. If they ever go to autobids they need to first get rid of divisions and CCGs and make sure everyone eligible is playing the same number of conference games and FBS opponents first. Also, I thought going into the year Clemson would be the second best team. I don't now. The ACC is terrible and the best team they have played seems likely to have been aggy and they were not impressive. They almost lost to Syracuse. I think whoever they get in the first round, seems like ND at this point, is going to beat them. I think we see Bama-an ohio state university and Clemson-ND, giving us a rematch of the BCS snoozefest that featured an imaginary girlfriend. And it will be almost as one sided as that game.
  3. When you get the text alert that you have entered the territory for a Legendary animal. Hop off your horse or hitch him up somewhere nearby and then hop off. If you are lucky you will see a white question mark on your mini map. Go to it and there will be an option to inspect it. Doing that should give you a tracking pop up to follow whatever Legendary animal it is. You will be lead to another question mark on your mini map and need to inspect it as well. Doing that gets the tracking again, leading to a third question mark. At this question mark, the animal you are hunting should be in visual range. Usually within your current field of vision even if it is a ways off. If you have issues during any of this, go into the eagle eye mode and look for gold sparkly stuff, those are the question marks, or red/blue tracking lines, those are what you are following in normal view. I did not kill the Legendary Bear during the story mission. Went back after him and blasted him with a dynamite arrow. This was not a good choice as the corpse appeared fine but I did not get a skin option. Reloaded a save and the bear killed the shit out of me. Now I can't find him. I also spent a ton of time in the bayou near St Denis looking for the gator. I shot many, many gators and never found him. Apparently you have to encounter him in a story mission before you can hunt him. I am early in Chapter three.
  4. The CFP is way better than the BCS, the committee rankings seem to be worse than the BCS formula...but not by much and maybe not in a meaningful way. I am very surprised an ohio state university did not jump ou. Shocked really. Yes they have a bad loss but it was a night game on the road. And they just destroyed a team the committee still thinks is top 10 (Michigan at 7 after that performance...how?). I don't understand it. Florida and LSU still being top 10 is a joke. The whole thing reeks of SEC bias and like someone said up thread, conferences that take it easy via scheduling get rewarded for it so why change? Alabama and ND are in. Georgia and Clemson control their own destiny for the final 2 spots. OU gets in if we get chalk results this week. An ohio state university obviously needs ou to lose and them to win to get in. If 4-5-6 lose then I am pretty sure Georgia gets in if they keep it within 3 scores to Alabama. But, Alabama is going to destroy everyone. This is the most competitive the sport has ever been and they are suffocating every team they play, first half v Citadel being the extreme outlier. Crazy stat I heard on a pod, only one other team ever has gone 12-0 with winning every game by 22+...the 1888 Yale Bulldogs went 13-0 beating an undefeated Princeton team 10-0 in their final game. Assuming they beat Georgia by more than 11 (spoiler: they will), they will be the first team to go 13-0 with an 11+ point margin of victory in all of those wins. Anyway, 8 team playoff is the way to go. Get rid of divisions (SEC teams play the opposing division teams outside of their one cross division rival once every 6 years...) and get rid of CCGs, which are just money grabs that can only hurt the best team in the conference most years, like this one. Make it to where you have to play 9 conference games and 11 FBS games to qualify. This fixes a lot of shit. Get rid of the committee and use some kind of objective formula so we won't have final week leap frogging explained by moving goal posts.
  5. I am surprised they never ported the first one to PC, it would have done well IMO. I think this one is being ported for sure. Unrelated, but there was a spot a little bit north of the main St Denis downtown area where 1-2 horses would spawn behind 3 houses. The horses could be any horse in the game, the 3 Arabians, all the rare horses, etc. You could ride through the area and if there was not a horse you wanted there, just quit and reload or ride far enough away and come back and the horses would respawn differently. See something you want? Slap your saddle on it and done. Sometimes you get charged with horse theft, sometime you don't. I got the gray arabian this way. The update Tuesday patched this out and now it only spawns common horses like Morgans. There is still a way to get great horses cheap though, and that is get a $3-400 bounty and kill the bounty hunters and take their horses. Bounty hunters ride good horses. I appreciate the depth of hunting/crafting and the scope of how many animals there are but man, its really kind of a pain in the ass to get perfect whatevers when you are looking for something specific. Ironically the Legendary animals are way easier than getting a perfect skin/pelt because you don't have to worry about shooting them in the wrong place with a sub-optimal weapon. Most of them I can find and kill within 5 minutes of entering their territory. The only trouble I have had was the fox. I somehow just wounded him with my shot and he ran off. Lost sight of him and had to track him again, all the old tracks were still around and it was a huge mess. Took me like 20-30 mins to find him again. I am only in Chapter 3 and am finding the meta elements more fun than actual missions. I ran into those Murfree Brood dudes...lol. Super fun to kill them.
  6. Rankings tomorrow will be interesting. I think they are going to move Ohio State up ahead of OU.

    LSU @ aggy

    Over turning the game ending INT and changing the play to a sack despite no clear video showing Mond with his knee down possessing the fumble. The game clock liberties and illegal formation on the spike before the end of regulation. The blown call and lack of a review on the catch and fumble with a clear recovery that was ruled INC. This is the most egregious to me. How that was called incomplete in real time, no fucking idea. Calling DPI from behind the play on an uncatchable football in the 7th OT and following that up with an unsportsmanlike. Those are the four I had in mind, I imagine there were others but I had a lot to drink and went to bed shortly after this game ended and have not watched any replays or highlights.

    LSU @ aggy

    Best case, this is like 4 blown calls all favoring the home team from 30 seconds of regulation through 7 OTs. How is this not more of a story? This game comes close to making a mockery of the sport and certainly calls into question, either via corruption or rank incompetence, the SEC as a conference. Pat Forde was on Dan Patrick Show this morning and this game did not come up in the conversation.
  9. Yeah that play was awesome. As good as Sterns is, especially early, I think Foster has more upside. He is the type of player you can build a defense around and I can see him moving to linebacker next year.
  10. Easy one for me, Colt all the way. Grew up in Houston as an Oilers fan, never understood why so many people in Houston rooted for Dallas and this made me hate them at an early age.
  11. This is a football board right? It seems like there are a lot of people here who don't like football. Football isn't going anywhere. The NFL is the most popular professional sports league in America and FBS is getting more and more popular. For those that think this kind of hit has no place in the sport or football is too violent...how do you process boxing or MMA? Male humans enjoy fighting for sport and always have. And always will.
  12. This. The field goal thing...it was close and not easy to see if it was good or not in real time but the fucking refs are there to look at too and they are signaling it not good... The other call that stood out to me was the Butler play that was called a catch and you could see very clearly his first foot down was on part of the sideline and that the call was going to be reversed. Clear to everyone but the LHN guys. Even though the radio call was a play ahead of my LHN stream, I went with Craig Way at some point in the 4th.
  13. I feel like he is playing his way into the first round over the past 4 games or so. He makes plays. It's an over used cliche, but in this case 100% applies, he is a game changer. Frankly we need to be a little more creative in getting him the ball, I'd like to see him get at least 15 targets+touches a game. I agree that who is QB matters a lot when it comes to what you get out of the position, but there are definitely guys in the NFL who are great without a good QB. Fitzgerald comes to mind. Guy is 2nd all time now in yardage and his best QB was probably Carson Palmer. All that said, if I'm an NFL GM the only positions on my team that get 2nd contracts are QB/OL/DL. Get an elite QB and protect him, control the line of scrimmage and you can plug in the rest year in, year out.
  14. The bounty/wanted system seriously sucks. Its very easy to get a bounty on accident not even trying to do anything that would get you in trouble with the law. It's also very buggy where you can get bounties put on you in the middle of nowhere where there are literally no witnesses. Finally, I got a HUGE bounty put on me during a chapter 2 story mission and the game did not inform me of this during the actual mission. I rolled into a post office later and discovered it, ~$300ish.
  15. I think LJH gets drafted higher than CJ and also has a better NFL career. I don't think CJ is going to be a bust or anything but LJH is a player that a good OC can deploy in many different looks to exploit a mismatch. He's a black Travis Kelce.
  16. When they have neutral site games the designated home team has to have their stadium ready to host the game in the event that the neutral site has issues, like this. But yeah, from the news coverage it seems like LA is not an ideal replacement.
  17. They have the top 4 right. But man the rest of the list is a shit show IMO. How could anyone put OU 6 watching their defense week in and week out? BC is on the list after getting shut out in a night game at home, outside of a kick return score? After Alabama and Georgia, every SEC team on the list is over rated. These people claim to watch the games and rank teams week to week but its clear they don't. LSU is living off its Georgia upset where Georgia beat themselves by abandoning the run. Also, for a four team bracket, ranking 25 deep seems like a waste of time. It seems like they just picked 25 to mirror the AP poll. I think they should cut it down to 10-15. Eight team format can't get here soon enough.
  18. ISU guy Hakeem Butler probably also in the mix for All Big 12. 36-816-8 in 9 games so far.
  19. Off topic but, what a great dude and great teammate.
  20. It seems like it would be in the best interest of both parties in the contract to agree to have it simulcast on one of the other channels as well. Looking at http://www.gameviewingguide.com/ it looks like that timeslot is free on ESPN News. I'm sure not everyone gets that but its likely carried by more packages than LHN. I'm on YouTube TV so no LHN for me. For the Spring game I did that PSVue 1 week free thing. For the early season game on LHN I borrowed a buddies Spectrum account who was at the game, and streamed it. I guess I will have to go that route again.

    Sam Ehlinger

    He outplayed both Murray and Grier as well, both of those guys on the list. Hopefully this fuels him in 2019 and 2020.
  23. https://www.forbes.com/sites/kevinmurnane/2018/11/04/red-dead-redemption-ii-has-a-deadly-bug-thats-easy-to-trigger-heres-how-to-avoid-it/#645dd7b3d2ce This sucks and happened to me. I did not have a manual save and so I restarted.
  24. Has Bama trailed at any point this year? If so, I'd like to see the total time. Hell, what is the total time they have even been tied. They have trailed for like 70 seconds this season. Ole Miss scored on them their first play. Bama scored 70 seconds later and shut them out from there winning 62-7. I'm not really sure what anyone that thinks Clemson (or any other team for that matter) can hang with these guys is watching. Because its not what I am watching. This is by far the best college team I have ever seen simply because of Tua. They are stacked everywhere, like always, and they added an all timer at QB which Saban has never had. If Tua stays healthy, everyone else is playing for 2nd and will be next year too.

    UCF vs Temple

    UCF looked bad to me and this is not the year we'll need to worry about a G5 team being one of the 4 best teams at the end of the season. Still think we need 8, but not a system where one of the 8 spots is slotted to the best G5 team. I'd go 8 and just go back to the BCS formula to pick those 8. The committee seems too easily biased/swayed by a single voice. As an example the first rankings have middling ACC teams stuffing the bottom of the rankings...why? I mean it doesn't much matter but its troubling there are so many of them clustered together like that. Also, I think its pretty clear they have SEC weighted too high. LSU does not look better than Michigan or ND to me. I realize this problem corrects itself Saturday, but still. Lastly...Kentucky at 9? Are you fucking kidding me? For a group who is supposed to 'watch the games' they clearly have not been.
