Dynasty Overview

The purpose of the Nebraska Blizzards Dynasty is to tell a compelling and intriguing story using FOF2 as the backdrop.

The Story So Far (Updated 8/20/03!!!)

It all began in January 2000. That year, Anthony Coriolanus, President and CEO of AgroGlobal Corporation, and a man known only as "The Executioner" agreed to a join forces in a business venture expected to generate billions of dollars. Using Coriolanus’ connections with the National Football League Commissioner’s Office, the two men set out to purchase an expansion franchise to generate large amounts of cash separate and apart from their own personal income. Then, using Executioner’s connections to the infamous Mexican Zopepe Drug Cartel, the money made by the team would be invested into drug trafficking to generate incredible profits. Since they decided that the team’s name would be the Nebraska Blizzards, it seemed appropriate that their criminal venture should be code-named Operation Snow Blind.

Their plan began with Coriolanus bribing NFL Commissioner Paul Tagliabue and other league executives to obtain enough votes to win the bid for an expansion franchise in Lincoln, Nebraska. The Executioner, meanwhile, assassinated the most prominent competitors for the expansion franchise team, as well as those opposed to construction of the Blizzards’ stadium.

After Coriolanus was awarded the NFL's latest expansion franchise, he set out to hire the best General Manager in the league—Jack “Grid” Iron. Since Grid was under contract with the San Diego Chargers, Coriolanus framed Iron by paying a notorious bookie, Heather Diamond, to accuse the GM of gambling on NFL games. After Iron was fired by the Chargers due to the criminal charges, Coriolanus befriended him, and even paid for his lawyer throughout the ensuing jury trial. Iron was later acquitted after Diamond surprised prosecutors by testifying that she made up the accusations only to gain notoriety. Since Coriolanus had supported Grid Iron throughout the entire ordeal, Iron’s decision to be the Blizzards’ GM was an easy one.

After securing the franchise, stadium and general manager, Coriolanus and the Executioner began investing the team’s profits into the drug trade. Over several years, Coriolanus donated millions of dollars generated by the Blizzards to sham charities in South America and Mexico. These charities then laundered the money by transferring it to the cartel, where it was used to fund the drug smuggling operations. The drug profits were then deposited into several off-shore bank accounts, set up by the Executioner.

The enterprise was wildly successful, as both men made over one billion dollars within 10 years. Coriolanus was content to bask in the glory of his vast, new wealth. The Executioner, however, had different plans for his share of the profits.

Working with CIA Director Archie Bitzer, also known as “Silencer,” the Executioner used the money earned from the cartel’s drug activities to genetically engineer a virus that would kill anyone of Arab ancestry. In 2015, the virus was released into a small village in Saudi Arabia, and it spread quickly across the entire region, gaining its nickname, the “Arabian Flu.” By the end of 2016, it had reached every country in the Middle East and killed over 500,000 people. By 2017, the disease appeared for the first time in the United States when a businessman from Yemen died shortly after arriving in Honolulu, Hawaii. In 2018, the first case in the continental U.S. occurred when a Saudi immigrant, who had not been to the Middle East in several years, died in a Bronx, New York, hospital.

In 2019, Bitzer urged the Executioner to begin what is known only as “Phase 2,” which involved distributing a vaccine for the Arabian Flu. The Executioner refused, telling Bitzer that he could not provide him a vaccine because none existed - he had lied about it merely to secure Bitzer’s help. Wracked with guilt, Bitzer later took his own life. FBI Agent Alex Goldstein, however, discovered the Executioner’s plot while reviewing Bitzer’s computer files.

Also in 2019, the countries of Egypt, Jordan, Syria and Saudi Arabia began deploying large numbers of troops and missiles (suspected of carrying chemical weapons) to their borders with Israel, which they blamed for the disease. In response, Israel detonated a tactical nuclear device in an uninhabited area to deter any military attack by the Arabs.

The escalating violence in the Middle East convinced Goldstein to suggest to his superiors that the U.S. take responsibility for its role in creating the virus. The President of the United States ordered a cover-up of the incident. Goldstein, however, saved the computer records and planned to go public with the information.

Unfortunately, the National Security Agency caught wind of Goldstein’s plan and had him arrested to face charges of treason before a military tribunal. He is currently being held at a secret military base outside of the continental United States.

As for Coriolanus, he fled the U.S. in 2014 following an attempt on his life by one of the Executioner’s assassins and his indictment for drug trafficking. He re-appeared in 2016, however, in Germany. Holed up with a large cache of firearms in a small apartment in suburban Hamburg, Coriolanus told Interpol authorities that he killed his own wife and children mercifully because he feared that they would have suffered horrific and painful deaths if the Executioner got to them first. After several hours of negotiation, Coriolanus agreed to surrender and the authorities all about Operation Snow Blind. Unfortunately, as Coriolanus walked out of the apartment and towards the waiting police, he was shot and killed by an unknown assassin.

To date, the Arabian Flu has killed over three million people. Further, the Executioner’s purpose in creating the virus and releasing it upon the Middle East is currently unknown.

In addition, over the last decade several South Pacific villages, and all of their inhabitants, have been completely destroyed by missiles from Russian Mako helicopters. The Russian government has denied any involvement. The CIA believes that several Mako helicopters that vanished on a training mission in 2003 in Siberia were actually stolen by the squadron commander, Vladimir Maritczak, and his men. A worldwide search has begun for Maritczak, who was an outspoken Ukrainian and considered to be sympathetic toward the United States and NATO. Any connection between the Mako helicopters and Operation Snow Blind, if there is one, is unknown at this time.

On December 31, 2019, NORAD detected the launch of 35 missiles from various Arab nations directed at Israel. Shortly thereafter, Israel launched a counter-strike of 65 rockets, which satellites showed to be armed with nuclear warheads. The capitals of Jordan, Egypt, Saudi Arabia and Syria are among the cities targeted.

In 2020, the world learned of the horrifying destruction across the Middle East from the Arab-Israeli missile attacks. Millions died and cities were left in ruin. The U.N. sent peacekeepers to the area to maintain stability, but they weren't enough. U.N. Secretary General Jean-Paul Petain was removed from office when the Crown Prince of Kuwait, Jamir Al Sabah, called for his impeachment after his father was killed by a suicide bomber. Al Sabah, the newly crowned King of Kuwait, was elected to replace Petain, and has vowed to increase the U.N.'s military presence in the Middle East to eradicate the many terrorist groups attempting to seize power in the shattered land.

Also in 2020, Grid Iron received a cryptic e-mail from someone purporting to be Anthony Coriolanus. Coriolanus was believed to have been killed by an assassin in 2016 before he could reveal the secret of Operation Snow Blind to the authorities.

In 2021, Grid Iron learned that the e-mail was really an automated message written by Coriolanus several years ago before his death. Coriolanus instructed Grid Iron to access the AgroGlobal computer system in Kuala Lumpur for information that would unveil a horrifying conspiracy. In Kuala Lumpur, Coriolanus left a message for Grid saying the information had to be copied to a keychain hard drive and that it would be slipped to him by a guest at Le Petit Zinc, a restaurant in Paris, on New Year's Eve 2022.

Also in 2021, Anthony Angelino gave up his stake in the Melbourne, Florida, Eagles to become the majority owner of the Nebraska Blizzards. The President of New York-based BuildCo Enterprises, Angelino announced shortly after buying the team that he would move it unless the public paid for a new $1 billion stadium.

At the close of 2021, King Jamir Al Sabah of Kuwait announced that doctors in his country discovered a cure for the Arabian Flu and would begin distributing it immediately.

In 2022, the U.S. government provided U.N. peacekeepers in the Middle East with 1,000 new F-35 Joint Strike Fighters, the most advanced military plane in the world. The planes were provided at the request of King Sabah, who pointed out the need to deter terrorist cells and rival governments from interfering with the rebuilding process.

Also in 2022, Grid Iron obtained the hard drive Anthony Coriolanus left for him in Paris. In it, Coriolanus included information from AgroGlobal's computer database which described a secret research facility in Paraguay. According to the disk, the place was created by the U.S. government to circumvent the Biological and Toxin Weapons Convention of 1975 and was responsible for creating the Arabian Flu. The disk also stated that it was the CIA that released the virus in the Middle East. The facility is hidden in the jungle and has gone undetected by local law enforcement for decades. Coriolanus did, however, give Grid Iron the GPS coordinates.

In 2023, Lincoln Police Officer Michael Phillips obtained a wiretap authorization to monitor the phone calls of a local drug dealer, Chu Nguyen. During on intercepted phone conversation, Nguyen explains to an associate that a new dealer named "Vinny" has opened shop in town and is significantly cutting into his business. Nguyen explained, however, that there was little he could do about Vinny since it is believed he is associated with organized crime ("OC").

2023 concluded when Grid Iron traveled to Paraguay to find the AgroGlobal research facility that manufactured the Arabian Flu. After he arrived, however, several unidentfied helicopters showed up and began firing missiles at Grid and the research facility, destroying the entire place, as well as Grid Iron’s companions.

In 2024, we learned that Grid Iron survived the attack on the research facility and began the long arduous journey home, travelling across the mountain of Paraguay, into Peru, a long trip aboard a fishing boat from Peru to Mexico, and then a bus ride from San Diego to Lincoln. With him, Grid brought two password-protected laptop computers that he recovered from the AgroGlobal research facility debris.

Just as Grid’s life seemed to be returning to normal, however, tragedy struck again. His son was kidnapped on New Year’s Eve, after which Grid received an e-mail from Vladimir Maritczak stating that they each had something the other one wanted.

In 2025, Grid Iron negotiated for the return of his kidnapped son. Vladimir Maritczak promised to return the boy in exchange for the laptop computer Grid took from the AgroGlobal lab in Paraguay. Iron agreed, and the exchange was made shortly after the Blizzards' Super Bowl victory. However, Maritczak's superior, The Executioner, discovered the former Russian Air Force Commander to be a traitor. He was found dead with a single gunshot wound to the head in a Lincoln hotel. The laptop was missing from its case.

Fortunately, both The Executioner and Maritczak were not aware of Grid Iron's second laptop. Also taken from the AgroGlobal lab in Paraguay, Grid Iron stashed the second computer away in his safety deposit box in Lincoln. Since the system is password protected, however, he has no idea what it contains.

In 2026, King Jamir Al Sabah arranged for the transition of U.N. Peacekeepers from European personnel to Arabs, and then announced the creation of the New Republic of Arabia, comprised of Kuwait, Egypt, Jordan, Syria, Saudi Arabia and Iraq. After Sabah resigned his post as Secretary General of the U.N., the Arabian U.N. troops gave their allegiance to the King, and took over the only two U.S. military bases in the Middle East.

In a speech to the world, Sabah stated that his plan to return Arabia to it place as the greatest nation in the world was finally complete. He explained that he developed the Allah Virus, engineered to kill all people not of Arab descent, to deter any military action against the New Republic of Arabia, and that he would use his army of former peacekeepers to destroy anyone standing in his way. The identity of the Executioner was finally revealed.

In 2027, former FBI agent Alex Goldstein was released from a secret military base when several U.S. military brass were indicted for their role in Operation Snow Blind. Recognizing that he could trust Goldstein above all else, Grid Iron delivered the second laptop he took from the AgroGlobal Lab in Paraguay. The laptop contained the genetic code for the Allah Virus, and a vaccine, which the U.S. and Russian began to manufacture.

To distribute the vaccine without arousing the suspicions of King Sabah, the U.S. government concocted a story about a rebel group in the Philippines obtaining a vial of smallpox virus. The Allah Virus vaccine was inserted into the smallpox vaccine that was distributed throughout the world, and within months the great weapon of Arabia was rendered impotent.

NATO seized the opportunity and invaded the New Republic of Arabia, conquering the evil nation on December 31, 2027. Unfortunately, King Sabah escaped, and his $1 trillion fortune vanished—transferred into untraceable off-shore bank accounts before the fall of Kuwait City. The world can now only wait to see if Sabah will rise again to seek his revenge . . .

House Rules (Updated 3/5/03!)

I employ a fairly standard set of "house rules" (empty cupboard, no franchise tag, must maintain a 53-man roster, no renegotiating, can't make trade proposals, trades must pass "fairness test", no current NFL players, auto-sign rookies). During the 20-step free agent period, I may negotiate with any player who was on my team the previous season without restriction. As for free agents who did not play on my team the previous season, I may sign up to three of them during the 20-step process, but I may only bid on one player at a time and I cannot modify my original offer. After the 20-step free agency period, I can only sign undrafted rookie free agents and players who were on my roster the previous season. All contracts signed outside of the 20-step process must be for exactly what the player asks, or for one year. I have decided to allow renegotiating with “classy veterans" who have a loyalty of "high" or above.

Glad to read that you weren't rolled up in the mess of indictments. To think of everything you did for Operation Snow Blind just to pay off your gambling debts.

While I truly appreciate your service, I'm sure your colleagues in the great "United States of America" would not. And to make sure they never find out what you've done, you're going to help me out.

With what, you ask? You'll find out . . . in time.

<h2>2028 Preview</h2>
In 2028, the Blizzards will try to get back to the Super Bowl after suffering an early playoff exit in 2027!

Ticket Prices

After making $258 million in 2027 (a 5% increase in profits), the Blizzards decided to keep ticket prices the same. “We’re the most valuable franchise in the NFL,” said owner Anthony Angelino, referring to Forbes’ recent estimate that the Blizzards would likely command a $2.3 billion sale price on the open market. “We’re doing fine financially, and we want to pass that along to the fans.”

Scouts/Coaches

No changes.

Retirements

None.

Trades

Nebraska was not involved in any trades in 2027.

Free Agency

The Blizzards went into the free agency period $82.9 million under the $259.3 million salary cap.

Key Players Re-Signed

<ul>
<li>TE Courtney Donovan signed a $14.67 million three-year contract to finish his career with the team that drafted him in the second round in 2014 out of Rice. The team’s starting tight end since 2016, Donovan has been named All-League four times.
<li>DE Phillip Phipps signed a $47.71 million contract for three years. A phenomenal run stopper, the Blizzards' first round pick (36th overall) in 2023 out of Northeast Louisiana, has averaged just 6.7 sacks over the last three seasons. “I’m confident that Phillip will regain the form he had in 2024,” said GM Grid Iron, referring to Phipps’ break-out season in which he led the team with 14.5 sacks.
<li>S Charles Mangum will stay with the team after signing a three-year $18.41 million contract. Nebraska’s first round pick (12th overall) out of Portland State in 2014, Mangum has averaged 7.3 interceptions over the last three seasons.
</ul>

Key Players Lost

None.

Key Players Gained

<ul>
<li>T Ricardo Jenkins signed a three-year $16.6 million contract to join Nebraska. The 6’8”, 310 pound monster was drafted by Pittsburgh in the first round (30th overall) in 2024 out of Army and signed as a free agent with San Diego after being named All-league in 2026. He struggled in 2027 with injuries, playing in only 10 games, but GM Grid Iron couldn’t pass up a player with his potential. “This is just his fifth year. . . I think he could still become one of the best in the league.”
</ul>

Amateur Draft 

The Blizzards improved the depth of their offensive line by drafting G Todd McGuire with the 34th overall pick in the 2028 draft. The 6’4, 321 pound McGuire was the cornerstone of the Notre Dame offensive line for the last three years. “He’s a phenomenal at pass blocking,” said Nebraska head coach Damon Walsh. “He still needs to work on his run blocking technique.”

Rnd 1 - Todd McGuire, G, Notre Dame
Rnd 2 - Richard Robledo, RB, Syracuse
Rnd 3 - Willie Fletcher, RB, Johnson C. Smith
Rnd 4 - Joey Arroyo, G, Stanford
Rnd 5 - Gannon Joseph, LB, Nebraska
Rnd 6 - Frankie Butterfield, CB, Kentucky
Rnd 7 - Fernando Otis, LB, Boise State

Training Camp/Exhibition Season

The Blizzards finished the exhibition season with a 2-2 record.

Starting RB Jerome Sweeney suffered a hyperextended elbow in the final preseason game and won’t be back until Week 3 when the Blizzards travel to San Diego. Until then, rookie RB Willie Fletcher will be the starting tailback. The 6’0”, 209 pound Fletcher was the Blizzards’ third-round pick in 2027 out of Johnson C. Smith College.

In a shocking twist, six-year veteran TE Brock Hanson won the starting job, sending TE Courtney Donovan, who has started the last 12 seasons, to the bench. Drafted by Atlanta in the second round in 2023 out of Purdue, Hanson joined Nebraska as a free agent in 2027 to backup Donovan. “Courtney is still going to see a lot of playing time, but he’s lost a step or so after 14 seasons and Hanson is just hitting his stride,” said coach Damon Walsh. Donovan seemed to take the demotion in stride. “This organization has been great to me, and Brock had a better preseason. What more can I say?”

Schedule

The Blizzards have a modest schedule this year, playing seven of their 16 games against teams that finished last season with a winning record. However, the Blizzards’ season finale promises to be a very big game at Oakland that may very well have playoff implications, in light of the Raiders signing top free agent quarterback Stan Terry to a $39.68 million, two-year contract in the off-season. “Terry is a fantastic quarterback, and I expect we’ll be battling Oakland all year long,” said Grid Iron.

Week 1: Blizzards (0-0) at Broncos (0-0)

Nebraska QB Moran Sweeney threw three interceptions and was sacked five times as the Broncos beat the Blizzards 17-6.

Week 2: Blizzards (0-1) vs. Seahawks (0-1)

Seattle tied the game on a six-yard touchdown pass with 1:34 to go, and then won the game on a 50-yard field goal, as the Seahawks prevailed 13-10 over the Blizzards.

Week 3: Blizzards (0-2) at Chargers (0-2)

San Diego tied the game at 9-9 with a 37-yard field goal as time expired in regulation, but Nebraska K Eugene Rhodes (“Mr. Clutch”) nailed a 44-yard kick with 4:31 left in overtime to lift the Blizzards over the Charges 12-9.

Nebraska RB Jerome Sweeney rushed for 73 yards on 28 carries after sitting out the first two games of the season with a hyperextended elbow.

Week 4: Blizzards (1-2) at Jets (2-0)

The Nebraska DE Willie Norris had four sacks and the defense recorded three interceptions while holding New York to just 12 yards rushing as the Blizzards got back to .500 with a 24-15 victory over the Jets.

1/4 Season Review

At 2-2, the Blizzards are tied for second with the Raiders (2-2), one game back of the Broncos (3-1).

Nebraska’s 2-2 record is due in large part to QB Moran’s Sweeney playing just awful in the first four games of the season. Last year’s league MVP has been the exact opposite in 2028, throwing for just 422 yards, two touchdowns, and a league-leading eight interceptions in four contests.

On the bright side, the defense has been stellar, allowing just 13.5 points per game. LB Kyle Schwartz has been phenomenal and leads the league with 41 tackles. DE Willie Norris already has 6 sacks, which ranks third in the NFL.

Week 5: OPEN

With the entire team back to full health, the Blizzards got a little R&R during the bye week.

Week 6: Blizzards (2-2) at Redskins (2-2)

RB Jerome Sweeney rushed for 121 yards and two touchdowns and K Eugene Rhodes nailed the game-winning field goal from 38 yards out with just 30 seconds on the clock as Nebraska edged Washington 34-31.

Week 7: Blizzards (3-2) vs. Chiefs (2-4)

S Riall Butler had three of Nebraska’s four interceptions as the Blizzards beat the Chiefs 34-14.

Week 8: Blizzards (4-2) vs. Chargers (2-5)

Week 9: Blizzards (5-2) vs. Bobcats (3-4)

Nebraska DE Scottie Wagoner and DE Willie Norris had three sacks each and CB Travis Long returned an interception 98 yards for a touchdown as the Blizzards beat the Bobcats 38-10.

1/2 Season Review

After and 0-2 start, the Blizzards have won six in a row and at 6-2 are tied for first place in the AFC West with the Broncos and are one game up on the Raiders (5-3).

Despite the team’s success, QB Moran Sweeney continues to suffer through a nightmare season. In eight games, last season’s MVP has thrown for just 1,454 yards, 8 touchdowns and a league leading 15 interceptions for a miserable 58.6 rating, second-worst among starting quarterbacks.

Moran’s brother, RB Jerome Sweeney, has turned it on since missing the first two games of the season due to a hyperextended elboow. In six starts, Jerome has rushed for 482 yards and scored six touchdowns.

The defense continues to shine, allowing an average of 15.4 points per game. LB Kyle Schwartz leads the league with 82 tackles and DE Willie Norris is tied for second in the AFC with 10.0 sacks. S Riall Butler has five interceptions so far this season.

<h2>Top military brass convicted</h2>
<h3>Four generals, six colonels found guilty in virus conspiracy</h3>
Alexandria, Virginia (AP) - A jury found four high-ranking U.S. generals and six colonels in the CIA guilty in Federal court on charges of conspiracy to commit murder and treason, announced Attorney General George Kearney. "These men violated their solemn duty to the people of the United States, and now they will be held accountable," he said. Kearney stated that each man faces the death penalty. Their sentencing is scheduled for December 8, 2028.

The verdicts concluded a six-month trial in which it was revealed that U.S. military brass conspired to manufacture a virus that would kill millions of Arabs. According to cooperating witnesses, these men hoped that after the virus was secretly released, the U.S. government would "discover" a miracle vaccine, thereby winning the loyalty of the Middle East and end the threat of terrorism toward the West.

Ultimately, the plan backfired as the man the CIA was working with, former Arabian King Jamir Al Sabah, betrayed the U.S. government and held the entire world hostage with the Allah Virus for almost one year.

Week 14: Blizzards (8-4) vs. Raiders (8-4)

RB Jerome Sweeney rushed for 111 yards and rookie LB Gannon Joseph had 21 tackles (18 solo) as the Blizzards cruised to a 29-3 victory over the Raiders to clinch sole possession of the AFC West.

Week 15: Blizzards (9-4) vs. Bengals (8-5)

DE Phillip Phipps had 2.5 sacks and the defense returned two interceptions for touchdowns as the Blizzards beat the Bengals 34-21.

Week 16: Blizzards (10-4) vs. Earthquakes (4-10)

RB Jerome Sweeney broke the 1,000-yard rushing mark for the ninth time in his 12 years in the league with a 102 yard game and the Nebraska defense allowed only 103 total yards on the day as the Blizzards demolished the Earthquakes 29-0. With the win, the Blizzards clinched a playoff berth.

Next week’s game against the Raiders is going to be huge. If Nebraska wins, the Blizzards clinch the division and a first-round bye. If the Raiders win, Oakland wins the division and Nebraska plays in the wild card round.

Week 17: Blizzards (11-4) at Raiders (10-5)

RB Jerome Sweeney rushed for 146 yards and two touchdowns as the Blizzards clinched the AFC West and a first-round bye with a 27-11 victory over the Raiders.

Full Season Review

At 12-4, the Blizzards clinched their sixth consecutive AFC West title.

Nebraska’s success was due largely to the best defense in league that allowed only 15.3 points per game, and was led by LB Kyle Schwartz, whose 127 solo tackles was second in the NFL.

The Blizzards offense was also formidable, scoring 25.6 points per contest, which ranked second in the league. Incredibly, the offense was able to succeed despite a horrible year from QB Moran Sweeney, who was the 2027 NFL MVP. On the year, Moran threw for 3,253 yards, but was intercepted 22 time (worst in the league) while throwing only 16 touchdowns. RB Jerome Sweeney, however, picked up the slack for his brother, rushing for 1,246 yards (5th) and 13 touchdowns (T-1st).

K Eugene Rhodes, nicknamed “Mr. Clutch” by the Lincoln faithful, was true to his name. On the year, Rhodes nailed an incredible 35 of his 38 field goal attempts.

<h2>Blizzards take Jets for ride!</h2>
<h3>Nebraska destroys New York 34-3</h3>
December 14, 2028

Lincoln, Nebraska (Ticker) – The Blizzards racked up 313 total rushing yards and held the Jets to just 27 on the ground as Nebraska posted a 34-3 playoff victory to advance to the AFC Championship.

“This is an unbelievable feeling,” exclaimed rookie RB Willie Fletcher who was named game MVP after running for 105 yards and a touchdown on eight carries “I’m exhibit A that players at Division II schools shouldn’t be overlooked,” said the Johnson C. Smith University grad.

The game began with the Jets jumping out to a 3-0 lead late in the first quarter on a 40-yard field goal, but that would be all the points they would get on the day. Nebraska K Eugene Rhodes tied the game on a 37-yard field goal at the end of the first quarter, and RB Jerome Sweeney scored on a 21-yard touchdown run in the second period to give the home team a 10-3 halftime lead.

In the third quarter, Nebraska upped its lead to 24-3 after a 40-yard touchdown run by Willie Fletcher and an 18-yard touchdown pass from QB Moran Sweeney to WR Vince Clinton. In the fourth, a 24-yard Eugene Rhodes field goal and a 17-yard touchdown run by rookie RB Richard Robledo finished the scoring and sealed the victory.

Wow- I came late to the party with this one. Now I see I should have just waited until the final couple of seasons played out and read it all at once, saving me the suspense of waiting for the rest to be written. However, after spending about 5 hours reading this tonight, I have got to say this is definately one of the most amazing dynasties out there. I had been wanting to read this for the longest time but never could set aside the time to start on it but I'm definately glad I did.

<h3>Nebraska heads back to Super Bowl after 39-0 shutout</h3>
December 21, 2028

Lincoln, Neb. (Ticker) – The Nebraska defense had six interceptions and RB Jerome Sweeney rushed for 138 yards and two touchdowns as the Blizzards won the AFC crown by a score of 39-0 over the Raiders.

“This is totally awesome!” said rookie RB Willie Fletcher, who rushed for 100 yards for the second straight week. “I can’t believe I’m actually going to the Super Bowl!”

The game began with DE Phillip Phipps tackling Oakland RB Kenyon Talamaivao in the endzone for a safety on first series of the game. Nebraska K Eugene Rhodes upped the score to 8-0 after kicking field goals of 27 and 24-yards, and then Jerome Sweeney broke free for a 43-yard touchdown to put the home team up 15-0 midway through the second. FB Shaun Reid scored from five yards out with 3:13 left in the first half, and the Blizzards went into the locker room with a comfortable 22-0 lead.

Nebraska continued to pour it on in the second half as Jerome Sweeney scored on an eight-yard run to make the score 29-0, and a 27-yard Eugene Rhodes field goal made it 32-0. Second-year CB Bernard Ballard finished the scoring with a 37-yard interception return for a touchdown with 8:05 left in the game, giving Nebraska the 39-0 victory.

<h2>Gun store owner found dead</h2>
<h3>Pistols, assault rifles and shotguns stolen</h3>
December 22, 2028

Denver, CO (AP) - Authorities in Dorsey, Colorado, announced today that Joe Simiola, owner of Joe's Guns & Ammo, was found dead in his store this morning. A police spokesperson said that preliminary reports indicate he died from a snapped neck. "We currently have no suspects, but given the circumstances, we are treating this as a murder investigation."
Anyone with information related to the tragic crime in encouraged to call the Dorsey Police Department immediately.

According to police reports, Simiola was found dead in the back storeroom by a clerk who arrived in the morning. The shop, which Joe opened in 1954, had been ransacked and several firearms were listed as missing, including two assault rifles, a shotgun, and a Sig Sauer .45 semiautomatic pistol.

The town of Dorsey is located approximately 163 miles east of Denver, near the Colorado-Nebraska border.

1954? He was a hella old geezer by 2028, then. Assuming he opened the place at 18, he'd be 92. Are the police sure it wasn't natural causes? :)

<h2>Nebraska sends Green Bay Packing!</h2>
<h3>Blizzards clinch 8th championship in 10 years</h3>
December 28, 2028

Green Bay, WI (Ticker) – Nebraska LB Kyle Schwartz had 23 tackles (22 solo) and QB Moran Sweeney threw three touchdowns in freezing 10-degree weather as the Blizzards triumphed over the Green Bay Packers by a score of 28-16. The victory was the franchise’s ninth Super Bowl victory overall and eighth in the last 10 seasons.

“This was a total team effort,” said Schwartz who was named game MVP. “I had all of my moves today. It seemed like no one could get past me.”

The Blizzards didn’t waste any time scoring as Moran Sweeney connected with WR Buddy Thomason on the opening drive to give the visitors a 7-0 lead. Green Bay responded with a 37-yard field goal early in the second quarter, but Nebraska came right back as Sweeney hooked up with WR Vince Clinton for an 8-yard touchdown pass to give the Blizzards’ a 14-3 lead.

The Packers pulled to within 14-10 halfway through the second quarter on a five-yard pass from former Nebraska backup QB Luther Sheen to WR Keith Dragos. Not to be outdone, however, Moran Sweeney hit WR Vince Clinton for a 6-yard touchdown pass with 4:09 left in the first half to give Nebraska a 21-10 lead at the intermission.

Green Bay pulled to within one score at 21-13 on a 40-yard field goal early in the second half, but Jerome Sweeney responded with a seven-yard touchdown run up the middle with 5:18 left in the third quarter. After being handed a 28-13 lead, the Nebraska “Snow Storm” defense slammed the door, allowing Green Bay a single field goal in the final 15 minutes to seal the victory.

The only thing I was going to do differently was have the saucer people under the supervision of the reverse vampires, rather than the other way around. Everyone knows reverse vampires would never be under the supervision of anyone.;)

OK, I'm going to post the real season finale Saturday morning, August 23 (sorry, Illinifan999 ;)), since I was just advised by Fox Entertainment that I can't use the one posted by sterlingice.

To truly enjoy the finale in all its glory, you will need the Lord of the Rings: Two Towers trailer music, which can be found here (http://tfnsucks.freespeechsite.com/).

When you begin reading the final post (immediately after the 2028 Season Review), play the trailer music starting at 4:24 (the entire file is 6:29 long). Read the post at a normal pace.

BTW, my jury (finally) did the right thing today and convicted a lifelong child molester, so chalk another one up for the good guys! He was a creepy dude and is now goin' where he belongs--prison. I'm going out to celebrate!:D

<h2>2028 Season Review</h2>
You just can't keep the Nebraska Blizzards down. After an early playoff
exit in 2027, the league's Super Bowl champions from 2021 to 2026 came
back with a vengeance to secure the ninth NFL championship in franchise
history in 2028. Running back Jerome Sweeney led the offense, rushing for
over 1,200 yards for the ninth time in his 12-year career. Despite having
the NFL's second-best offense, however, the Blizzards success was due
mostly to a fantastic defense that allowed only 15.3 points per game in
the regular season and just 19 total points in three playoff games.

UNKNOWN: Oh yes, I can. I can quench my deep thirst for revenge to destroy those who destroyed me. That’s all I have left—I’ve lost everything but my hatred of you and those who ruined my empire. . .

IRON: Please, don’t do this . . .

UNKNOWN: You are the first on a list of many who will die by my hand. Now the time has come for you, Mr. Iron.

UNKNOWN: What?

IRON JR.: Son, get out of the house!

UNKNOWN: DIE!!!

IRON: No!!!

IRON JR.: Dad!!!!!

[Sound of multiple gunshots]

DISPATCH:: Mr. Iron, are you there? Mr. Iron, are you alright? Mr. Iron. . . Mr. Iron . . . Mr. Iron . . .

This ends the 2028 season of the Nebraska Blizzards Dynasty.

Stay tuned for the 2029 Dynasty Finale, coming up this weekend!
