Re: What is your EACFB pre-release ritual?

This time around its different with the decade off as I don't see myself picking up the Athlon magazine, but maybe I will this year just for old times sake. Here's some things I'm doing.

1. Checking here and twitter constantly

2. Playing Madden / NCAA 14- The madden thing started 7 months ago and I bought it just for this reason and it was the best thing I did. It got my skills brushed off and helped me know what to expect and despite its issues I played 230 hours of it

3. Watching YouTube rebuilds - Most of these are cringe with unrealistic stuff, but for some reason I enjoy them and its inspired me make some of my own

4. Teambuilder Ideals - A risky one since it may not be in, but I've got 5 teams I already want to create

5. Bought a PlayStation portal - I wanted to get one in hand while they are still hard to find. I will get use to it and allows me to play or check stuff at work

I don’t think Athlon is doing their magazine anymore. After the SI buyout, and then SI going full digital. But Lindys comes out end of May.

Re: What is your EACFB pre-release ritual?

My main prerelease ritual has been taken away by NIL. I would begin to download all the Spring Perspectives for all FBS schools in PDF form (or bookmark if the guide was HTML only) as I prepared to name all the players on all the rosters. It would take me about a month to perform that task, which meant I had mostly named rosters two weeks before the season.

1. Purchase of Athlon Sports/Phil Steele magazine
2. Re-watch prior year games (particularly rivalry and bowl games)
3. Play prior Madden a little more intensely (considering that past CFB games were a improved hybrid of the prior year's Madden).

What are your rituals?
Were you around for the days of the website, i think it was called ncaadynasties where you would mail your memory card where he would upload the roster with the real names in it? i think that site is what originally brought me to operation sports.
