Finishing up the first season

While college football and the NFL are completing their third weeks of the season, the Dynasty Reunion is nearing the completion of its first season. K-Rob, Kelz, A-Dawg and I hooked up for a reunion of sorts on the PS3's version of NCAA Football '09 thanks to the new online dynasty feature. Essentially, thanks to a server and the Internet, we can all play together just like we did back in 2003-04 when we were in our college days.

I just finished my first season at 11-1, at least my first regular season. I still have a bowl game left to play. I chose Tulsa and am ranked #24. A-Dawg is TCU, 11-1 and ranked #23. Kelz is Troy, 9-2 and #25. K-Rob, poor K-Rob, is Akron, 10-1 and the sole member of the dynasty not ranked.

While it's not the same -- and never will be the same -- as when all of us would go over to The BSU House (Binni and Kyle's home, and my home away from home) to crowd around the TV and play, it still has been a great way for us to keep in touch and be involved in one another's lives. And while it certainly won't be the same in the national championship game as it was in the past, it has brought back some very good memories.

I can't wait until the season is finished, we've recruited and we can do it all over again -- next week!!!
