D for me. I hate that rollover is happening so late in the day now.

E. The day after I inevitably lose in the NT when I have climbed down from the ledge, and moved on from my constant failure ready to tackle the next season.

This is how I feel roughly every other day at 2:07 a.m. EST.

Breaking my staying up to see game results habit was the best thing I ever did

I now go to bed at 11, set my alarm for 2:20, and see what happened!

B and D. E (conference tourney) is very close.

C is maybe a little more fun for D2 and D3. At D1, it always feels a day too long.

Questions..... 1) I don't know how RS2 can be considered a day too long in ANY scenario. To me, it almost seems useless because of how short it is. You can't hardly do anything in 3 days!

2) If E is in there for conference tourney, which I think is a valid "favorite day", how is A the only letter that you didn't mention? You prefer CT over NT?

1) At D1, the last day is useless, for the most part. Everyone worth signing at D1 has signed in the first 5-6 cycles of RS2. The last day is for who gets the leftovers. Unless you’ve switched D1 jobs, and you’re looking for scraps (transfers), most D1 coaches are twiddling their thumbs at that point.

2) At D1 power conferences, absolutely. These are guys I’m competing with every year. Winning the Big 12 conference tourney the year two *other* Big 12 teams reached the NT finals is probably the highlight of my career so far. At lower levels, and with simmy filled conferences, it’s a different story.

Thing about the NT is the first 2 days are by no means “favorite days”. I kind of dread them. Upset in the first couple rounds, doesn’t matter how your season was, you’re disappointed. Getting to the sweet 16 starts to get pretty exciting, and at that point, I’d consider those among my favorite days; but of course, you don’t always get that far (unless you’re buddhagamer).

Makes sense. I just can't get that excited about the CT. I've recently joined two power conferences. But i'm not competitive yet since it's only my 1st season with them. But I think even if it was my 20th, it just doesn't excite me. It seems like 3/4 more conference games to me. Especially if the season is a blood bath in conference play.

if i'm a 4 seed in a excellent conference, and I win it all, it's cool. But not that cool. But if that season i'm a 7 seed in the NT, and make a final four or win it all, there's much more excitement for me personally.

BUT..... there's tons of fun things about this game. That's why I created this thread with options. There's not only one way to enjoy this!
