TCY/FOF4: Missouri Loves Company

primelord · 02-26-2003, 10:50 PM

Participating in the Group Think project has renewed my desire to play TCY and FOF. So I have decided to start yet another Missouri dynasty. I have had several of these in the past and they have all died off for various reasons.

My previous dynasties have all been strictly TCY dynasties so I have decided to do a TCY/FOF joint dynasty. I will be starting with Missouri in TCY and then taking over a fictional team from a mature OPU in FOF4. I have decided what the FOF4 team name will be yet.

This will be a pretty vanilla dynasty. I am not a very creative writer so it will all be straight forward. The only real house rules I play with in TCY is no bribing. I will be using the same house rules for the FOF portion of the game that we are using in the group think project.

And with that. Here we go.

The schedule doesn't look pretty for us starting out. Back to back game sgaainst teams ranked in the pre season top 5. I think with the squad we are starting out with 4 wins is the best we can hope for.

2002 Roster

Code:

McDaniel, Daniel        18   QB   Jr*   24                53                  
Coffey, Marty           11   QB   So*   14                58                  
Cassatt, Irv            17   QB*  So    20                41                  
Wilkins, Vernon         13   QB*  Jr*   20                50                  
Snow, Johnny            8    QB*  Sr*   18                44

Our options at QB are not pretty. Marty Coffey looks like he has the most potential so we will go with 
him, but I am not expecting much this season. We might as well throw him into the fire since he has 
already used his redshirt year. Daniel McDabiel will be the #2 and Vernon Wilkins will ne the #3.                  

Pritchett, Bryant       23   RB   Sr    50                66                  
Lipsky, Bo              36   RB   Sr    49                62                  
Shea, Morris            41   RB   Sr    41                61                  
Dotson, Teddy           22   RB   So    25                45                  
Wayne, Jumbo            25   RB*  Fr    18                29                  
Giles, Ken              37   FB   Sr    45                45                  
Barnes, Troy            30   FB   Sr    43                64                  
Zaoussis, Graham        44   FB   Jr*   32                59                  
Smith, Heath            31   FB   So    30                34                  

Bo Lipsky looks like the best all around back we have and will see the bulk of the carries this 
season. Bryant Pritchett looks solid and will be the #2 option. RB Jumbo Wayne could be an option 
down the road although I would like to find a stud RB in recruiting. AT FB Troy Barnes is heads and 
shoulders above the oter guys on the team. He will be the starter this season and Ken Giles will back 
him up. Heath Smith looks like he could be good in the future and will wear the red shirt this season.

Caldwell, George        91   TE   Sr    36                38                  
Clayton, T.J.           85   TE   Sr    34                34                  
Blaise, Bart            81   TE   So    28                46                  
Reese, Cris             82   TE*  So    29                44                  
Duncan, Ellis           89   TE*  Fr    17                43                  
Nixon, Britt            88   WR   Sr    46                46                  
Whalen, Wes             87   WR   Sr    44                59                  
Frey, Jim               5    WR   So    41                41                  
Herndon, Brenden        6    WR   Sr    41                43                  
Bailey, Ed              9    WR   Jr*   37                51                  
Ritchie, Dave           83   WR   Sr    33                49                  
Ledbetter, Terry        1    WR   Fr    17                43                  

At TE George Caldwell is passable and will get the starts this season. T.J. Clayton will be the #2, 
but I am hopign he doesn't see much time. He is a real down grade from Caldwell. The rest of our 
players at the TE position are awful. At the WR spot we are full of good, but not great options. 
Britt Nixon and Wes Whalen will be the #1 and #2 options. Fresh man Terry (Bed Wetter) Ledbetter will 
wear the red shirt this year, but I don't see him as much of a start in the future.

Unverzagt, Ralph        51   C    Sr*   59                59                  
Longwell, Jorge         53   C    Sr*   47                60                  
Wild, Ryan              57   C    Jr*   45                71                  
Christen, Stephen       62   G    Sr*   55                77                  
Benoit, Bernie          63   G    Sr    39                39                  
Null, Reuben            69   G    Sr    34                34                  
Shea, Billy Joe         70   G*   Fr    16                64                  
DeLay, Roosevelt        76   G*   So*   14                54                  
Bellas, Kenyon          79   T    Jr    44                44                  
Esiason, Harold         77   T    Sr*   31                45                  
Williams, Jesse         67   T    Jr*   28                34                  
Caldwell, Rufus         78   T*   So*   7                 62                  

Center is one of the stronger posittions we have on the team. Jorge Longwell will get the start and 
Ryan Wild will back him up. I think we will probably find some PT somewhere for Unverzagt too. At G 
Stephen Christen and Bernie Benoit will be the starters. Roosevlt Delay is very raw, but looks like 
he has a lot of potential. Tackle is a very weak spot on this team. Kenyon Bellas and Jesse Williams 
will be our starters. 

Anderson, Austin        16   P    Jr    46                46                  
Dotson, Dale            15   P*   Sr*   30                34                  
Reyes, James            7    K    Sr    47                47                  
Layman, Gus             19   K    So    35                47                  

The kicking game should be pretty strong this season. Punter Austin Anderson is very solid and James 
Reyes may be one of the better place kickers in the Big XII.

Britton, Emmanuel       97   DE   Sr*   32                39                  
Fredrickson, Ernie      71   DE   So    31                35                  
Metzelaars, Tito        99   DE   So    24                39                  
Ellis, K.C.             96   DE   Jr*   23                70                  
Withers, Cole           72   DE   So*   14                48                  
Buchanan, Brian         74   DT   Jr    40                56                  
Baxter, Stephen         94   DT   Sr*   36                36                  
Matthews, Terry         93   DT   Jr*   35                45                  
McGowan, Trevor         75   DT*  Jr    27                27                  
Thomason, Ellis         92   DT*  Fr    26                76                  

We have some guys at DE that look like they have a ton of potential, but need quite a bit of 
development still. K.C. Ellis and Cole Withers both could be studs in the future but still need a lot 
of work. Ellis and Emmanuel Britton will be the starters this season. We don't have a lot to work 
with at DT. Buchanan and Matthews will be the starters as they both have strength in stopping the 
run.

Iverson, Hugh           59   ILB  Jr    46                69                  
Garner, Eric            55   ILB  So    32                48                  
Hamilton, Horace        90   ILB  So*   16                56                  
Burke, Howard           56   ILB* So*   20                57                  
Dennis, Keith           48   OLB  Jr    44                67                  
Roy, Clyde              42   OLB  Sr    39                39                  
Miner, Percy            45   OLB  Sr*   35                63                  
Lyon, Monty             98   OLB  Jr    25                54                  
Waldron, Alex           58   OLB* Sr    32                34                  

ILB Hugh Iverson looks like a very solid player and Horace Hamilton looks like a future stud. On the 
outside Keith Dennis also looks very solid and we could do worse than Clyde Roy.

Bernstein, Buddy        39   CB   Sr    48                48                  
Howard, Erik            27   CB   Jr    44                46                  
Dunn, Cory              46   CB   Sr    41                41                  
Welch, Jermaine         24   CB*  Sr    38                38                  
Sterling, Joel          29   CB*  So    20                38                  
Reese, Warren           49   S    Sr    60                76                  
Gardner, J.T.           34   S    Sr    44                44                  
Martin, Steven          33   S*   So    31                31                  
Lyle, Dixon             47   S*   Jr    30                30                  
Cooley, Kelly           38   S*   So*   8                 52

Becuase of a lack of better options we will go with Buddy Bernstein and Erik Howard as our starters 
at CB. This is an area we really need to improve on. At safety Warren Reese is easily the best 
defender on the team. He looks like a hard hitting safety. I am toying with the idea of playing a 4-6 
and using him to help with the run. We are going to need it. J.T. Gardner will be the other starter.
