Tulane Dynasty: The Beginning

Decided to sim Season 1 w/ Tulane. The starters didn't fit my offense quite well, so I simmed games & did recruiting. Kept it fairly realistic. Held up to my recruiting standard: ONLY recruit players w/ high Academic interest. Man, was it tough...

I created myself as the Head Coach. Coach Kaelyn Willingham's first year with the Green Wave was a good one.

Here are the results:[*]Finished the year 7-6 (5-3 C-USA). Played Colorado State in the Bell Helicopter Armed Forces Bowl and lost 37-14.[*]Got a 2-year contract extension for going 7-6. Shows you how low the standards at Tulane are.[*]Won 6 straight games at one point (1st time in a while Tulane's done that).[*]RB Orleans Darkwa had a 1300-yd rushing season. My FIRST EVER 1000-yd rusher, since I run the Option & distribute the ball a lot.

Got some good recruits. More people like Academics than I thought.

Some Key Recruits:[*]QB Jeff Shelby (3* Scrambler, 72 OVR)[*]QB Tim Ashley (2* Scrambler, GEM, 70 OVR)[*]FB Shaun Berry (2* Blocking, 66 OVR)[*]FB J.J. Thomas (2* Blocking, GEM, 67 OVR)[*]MLB Jamie Baker (3* Run Stopper, 62 OVR)

Shelby & Ashley will battle w/ returning QB Devin Powell (RS Fr) for the starting job. J.J. Thomas will be converted to TE so Berry can start at FB. Berry will make a good Option fullback, while Thomas will play the H-Back role. Jamie Baker will start at MLB for the season.

Things lookin' good so far. Here's our 2013 schedule. Remember, I'm playing on NCAA 13.
