On to the Salute to Veterans Bowl!

Stadium Sounds start middle of song?
Does anybody know if there is a way to get some of the sounds to start in the middle of the track or do they always have to start at the beginning? For example, I want to use the chorus portion of "Rehab" for when the opposing kicker misses the field goal, but I can't seem to figure out a way for a custom starting point. Thanks!

Boston University Terriers - Updated for 27 (Tag: Bezerkly)
Hi everyone,
I brought Boston University back for CFB 27 and gave my original TeamBuilder file a pretty thorough refresh. The uniforms, stadium, roster setup, rivalries, and school records have all been updated for this version.
BU actually has a long football history. The program began in 1884 and played for more than a century before being discontinued after the 1997 season. While the Terriers were never a national powerhouse, they had some very good stretches, produced several NFL players, and built plenty of history against other major programs in the Northeast.
For this version, I updated the in-game school records to match actual BU records as closely as I could find. Some of the older statistical information is incomplete, so there are a few places where I had to piece things together, but the record book should feel much more like Boston University than the default TeamBuilder numbers.
The five main uniform sets are:
- Scarlet/white home
- White/scarlet road uniform
- All-black “Midnight Ride” alternate
- Navy "Colonial" alternate
- "Boston Patriot" throwback to honor when the New England Patriots played at Nickerson Field on BU's campus
There are also plenty of mix-and-match options between the helmets, jerseys, and pants to also help give you more options. For example, swapping the pants on the home and away uniforms gives you all red and all white uniform options. The stadium is as close as I could get to how Nickerson actually is with the dorms surrounding it.
Since BU no longer has active football rivalries, I used the current Division I programs that the Terriers played most and that also fit their real-life history: Boston College, UConn, Syracuse, Penn State, and West Virginia. UMass deserves to be on that list, but UMass is the team that I replace.
One other note: I know people cannot edit another person’s downloaded TeamBuilder file. Feel free to reach out as your dynasty progresses, and I can try to make updates for you to download. For example, once you are ready to expand or renovate the stadium, I can temporarily adjust the file, let you download the updated version, and then return it to the setup I use for my own dynasty.
I tried to make this feel like a believable revival of BU football rather than simply placing the school’s logo on a generic team, so please reach out if you have any tips on ways I could take it further. Hope some of you give the Terriers a run!
Thanks everyone!

What updates if you update mid dynasty?
Does anybody know if you update after starting a dynasty does everything update? For example I understand you can update certain things like uniforms and the stadium, but what else updates? Can you update the logo for your team? Can you update the AD expectations? Do the record holders update or the roster? I am just trying to figure out what will change if I take on a new save file and what flexibility I have after starting a dynasty.
Thanks everyone!

Does this tire need to be immediately changed?
Arguing with a friend about their tire and since neither of us are that knowledgeable we wanted some other opinions. We can't tell if that line is the thread and showing signs of structural damage or just superficial. Thanks!

How does the Allpa backpack weather coating hold up over time?
I am considering getting the Allpa 26L backpack and was hoping to hear from people who have owned one for a while how has the weather-resistant coating held up over time? Does it still repel light rain after months or years of use, or does it wear down pretty quickly? I am not expecting it to be fully waterproof, but I am curious whether the bag stays reasonably protective in normal wet conditions.
I would also appreciate any general long-term feedback on the backpack itself. How have the fabric, stitching, zippers, and overall structure held up? Are there any issues that only became noticeable after extended use?
Thanks in advance for any insight.

▲ 2 r/backpacks
Hi everyone,
I am looking for some advice on an everyday carry backpack. I have used a messenger bag for years, but I am ready to switch to a backpack for daily use.
My typical carry would be:
- Laptop
- Light jacket, usually a rain shell or windbreaker
- Over-ear headphones
- Sunglasses, battery pack, and other small miscellaneous items
- Occasionally a little extra room for whatever comes up during the day
I already have an older Patagonia Refugio 30L that I like, so I do not necessarily need something huge. That bag is a little bigger than I want for daily use, though, and I would also prefer something with better weather resistance.
The main things I am looking for are:
- Comfortable carry
- Dedicated laptop space
- A usable/sizable water bottle pocket
- Decent rain resistance
- Enough structure and size that it does not feel tiny
One thing that has shaped my search is that I am a bigger person, so very small backpacks can look a little comically small on me. I realize my actual EDC needs could probably fit in a smaller bag, but I am looking in the 22–26L range because that size seems to make more sense on my frame while still being manageable for daily use.
So far, the bags that have caught my eye are the Evergoods CHZ 22/26 and the Cotopaxi 26L Daypack. I would love to hear any thoughts from people who have used either of those, and I am also open to other recommendations in that general size range if there are bags people have really enjoyed.
Thanks in advance!
