Yeah that's what I was thinking of earlier, but it slipped my mind when I was making the posts.
That's the good thing with a dynasty like this, you'll be able to do a dedicated tracking of team records if you wanted to. That's the problem with my dynasty, where instead of following one team, I'm following one coach. So really the best I can do, is what I'm doing now, mentioning all the new team records in my season wrap-up/off season posts, instead of having a dedicated section at the beginning of the thread, since I'm going to be moving from team to team throughout the career of the coach.
Oh, and I'm officially following. Looks great so far, I can't wait to see what the future holds for North City. Like I said with souljahbill and CLW, I'm so damn glad to see some of you guys stepping up and doing dynasties with the release of '13. Besides the one or two random dynasties that would pop up from month to month, and not usually last beyond a month, it was pretty much only me posting over in this corner of the forums. Gets sort of lonely after a while. Glad I'm gonna have new dynasties, new material, and new careers to follow over here in Dynasty Land.
When the game started up and it was pouring rain outside we knew we were going to be in some trouble. Running an offense that is based around the pass is hampered ten-fold in inclement weather. It was a very ugly game. We got the ball first, and immediately went 3 and out to give Pitt the ball. They would score first, going up 7-0 with 2:16 remaining in the first quarter. Pitt’s running game carried them throughout the game. We would score our first touchdown in school history not too long after that with a 13-yard pass from Gatewood to Larkin, but we missed the extra point.
No points were scored in the second quarter, as ugly punts and dropped passes, and a blocked field goal would be the highlights of the quarter. The score at halftime is 6-7 Pitt. The only score in the 3rd quarter came from an 88-yard scamper by Pitt’s R. Graham.
We’re down 14 to 6 going into the fourth quarter. We start the quarter by giving up a field goal, and with the way the offense was moving, the field goal was going to be the beginning of the end for us. But Gatewood turns it up and hits Marquardt with a 33-yard pass for a touchdown. Immediately after that, we give up 74 yard run to Bennett on a Wildcat play. Not good. We answer back with a quick TD to keep us in the game. Pitt comes back out in the exact same formation, run the exact same play, and the same result occurred. Touchdown. We don’t answer back so quickly, but we score again with 1:00 left in the 4th. Oh we also went for the 2 point conversion on our previous TD and failed. And we failed this 2 point conversion also. But, we were an onside kick away from a miracle comeback. Well we didn’t get it. Game. Blouses. Pitt wins 31-25.
Key Stats
NCU: L. Gatewood 23-56 328 yards 4 TD 0 INTs Pitt:R. Graham 25 carries, 242 yds, 2 TD
While it unfortunately was a loss, it was a very promising start for the football program at North City University. Being able to hang with Pitt and lose by only 6, in horrible weather, it shouldn't be long before you guys get your first victory. I honestly could see 4, 5, even 6 wins potentially in North City's immediate future if the boys build on this win and keep up the hard work.
Great start to the dynasty Kingpin. I'm looking forward to your next game.

Thanks Smooth! Yeah, it really was a tough game. My defense made stops, but there were sooo many dropped passes that we couldn't capitalize. And the 2 big Wildcat runs from Pitt were draining. We got Syracuse next week, so I'm hoping for a win.

Yeah, Syracuse was the first one I see you beating or at least having a chance of beating. Looking at your schedule, I can see a good chance of wins against Syracuse, Vanderbilt and New Mexico State, with potential chances for wins against Marshall and Ohio, and even a toss up chance against FIU (as much as it pains me to say, lol). Looking forward to the recap from Syracuse. Definitely hoping for and pulling a win for the Stars!
Well it’s cold and raining. Thanks New York weather. We’re playing against Syracuse today, our “rival” from upstate. We here at NCU consider this to be an emerging rivalry, while Syracuse just looks at it as a warm up game. Well warm up to deezze. Ok, that’s out the way. Another rainy, ugly game. The first quarter was rather uneventful. It was more like the opening rounds to a boxing match, the 2 teams were just trying to feel each other out. So let’s move on to the 2nd quarter.
Again, we couldn’t stop the run. Last week we ran a 4-2-5 and couldn’t stop it, this week we ran a 3-4 and couldn’t stop it. Syracuse strikes first by marching up the field and scoring on a 2 yard run by Gulley. One of the big things that kept us in the game was missed opportunities by Syracuse. They missed so many field goals. We would score our first home TD in school history on a 73 yard pass from Gatewood to Felder. Get used to that combination. Syracuse would march down the field again in an effort to get points before the half, but an interception by Tatum would stop that. So we go to the half tied up 7-7. Another nail bitter in the making.
3rd quarter starts with Syracuse getting the ball and keeping a drive going that would stall out on a 4th down stop by the defense. We were hoping that this drive would be the drive that would give us our first lead in school history. And it was. We marched down the field and score on a pass from Gatewood to Greene. It took us 6 ½ quarters but we have a lead. Only to squander it on the next drive, as a 33 yard run from Gulley ties it up. We end the third all tied up 14-14.
4th quarter. Let the fireworks begin. Syracuse starts it off with a punt. We’re driving down the field when an uncostly fumble strikes and turn the ball over. SU wastes no time, by scoring on a 50-yard bomb.
We get the ball, and we’re moving. But the freshman makes a crucial mistake and throws an interception with 4:29 left in the game. Defense holds, but now we can’t catch a ball to save our lives. 4 straight incompletions. 2 were wide open drops. Again, the defense holds, giving us the ball back with 1:50 and a score of 21-14. We can do it right? No. More drops and missed reads. We had a total of 10 drops recorded, and more that went unrecorded. SU scores a TD real late, one that got the home crowd riled up cause they could’ve just kneeled down and ended the game. But hey, we score with 0:05 left on a 74-yard bomb to Greene again. But it was for naught, as we lose to Syracuse 28-21.
Damn man. Sorry about the loss. I thought for sure you guys would get that first win against Syracuse. Still hanging tough though, staying right there at the end. Hopefully you can shock someone in these next couple games. I know it's inaugural season and all, but I'd hate to see you guys potentially end up 0-5 or worse. Keep fighting the good fight man. Looking forward to the FIU game.

I thought I had this one too. The INT late hurt me, and the 50 yard bomb they threw seemed impossible as there were 2 guys covering him, but they both just had bad positioning. But our offense looked a lot better this game.

That would be the other piece of information your original set of posts is missing ... you've said nothing about how your team actually plays on the field.
Cool idea. This has actually led me to create my first team and begin a dynasty. I'll be following this one. I may also steal some of your ideas, if that's alright.

Nicely done on the write-up though.
Thanks. I should probably put what type of offense and defense I'm running up there.
